b. FAD deliverables:
i. Streamside Acquisition – Mark Tuthill and Jeff Baker attended the meeting on Oct. 22. Dave Tobias had a PowerPoint presentation showing tiers of incentive payments to bring the landowners in. $1,000 to $5,000 payment on a parcel. They continue to throw road blocks. Need to find another way to address the value of the property. DEP wanted CWT to adopt the presentation and say that things were moving along. Jeff said no. First he has heard of it. Jeff drafted a paragraph for the municipalities to add to their local laws to subdivide a parcel out without road frontage. DEP said that cannot be done, it effects their appraisal. This is not true. They are not locked in a full market value according to the MOA. Making better headway with all the other groups except DEP.

i. Town of Olive has trouble with the ORPS report. ORPS assessment at 81 million which is more than the current agreement with NYC. NYC could sue. If they go with TLAP which is a higher assessment, Town of Olive will get sued by DEP. Jeff suggested to go through TLAP and bump up the numbers as high as you can. If you get sued by the city, you will be in the program and will be eligible to receive the funds. We will need to go through the Legislature to get to ORPS and educate them on how this process works.
