HomeMy WebLinkAbout2009-08-10 Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission Minutes (Lastpage)Mr. Inaba emphasized on all the work that was done by TPL, Mr. Harry Yada and the County
administration to secure these grant monies and we shouldn't just walk away from these properties
if there's any chance for acquisition. For the State grant we have until June 30, 2010 and for the
Federal we have until 2011.
Ms. Self asked Mr. Inaba when they anticipate the appraisal being done. Mr. Inaba replied that Ms.
Crawford still needs to make a decision between John Child & Company, Hallstrom Group or
Medusky.
Ms. Self mentioned that for the sake of the on -going negotiations, the Commission should have no
role and it's out of their hands. It is now in the hands of the County administration to handle the
purchase of these properties.
Mr. Flores highlighted that in regards to a conservation easement there generally is an incentive for
the owner or developer. If Mr. Olson is not looking at developing right now, there's generally no
benefit to him at this time.
Ms. Springer commented that she doesn't think that it's their work to remove items off the list and
suggested that this item doesn't need to be deferred to the next meeting.
