The minutes from the February 4, 2010 meeting were read.

COMMUNITY RESOURCE INVENTORY (CRI):
Ms. Flint contacted the Manitook Lake Association and is waiting to hear back from them.
Ms. Reuben met with Mr. Francis Armentano, Community Development Director, and with Mr. Armentano’s help, created a few maps for her sections of the CRI.
Ms. Reuben also mentioned to the Commissioners that she attended the Connecticut Forestry Round Table session and shared the talking points and agenda with the Commission.
Chairman Lengvarsky took information from the Wild and Scenic study for the geology section of the CRI.
Chairman Lengvarsky will review the timeline created for the CRI to see how far along the Commission is, and what the next steps should be.
20% BY 2010 CAMPAIGN:
Chairman Lengvarsky scheduled a meeting with Mr. John Adams, First Selectman, to discuss the development of an energy taskforce for Granby. The Commission is not interested in managing the taskforce as they feel it should be Town run; however, they would like to support and participate with the taskforce once it is established.
WILD AND SCENIC DESIGNATION:
Chairman Lengvarsky mailed the endorsement and a copy of the motion to Ms. Sally Reiger and Ms. Joyce Kennedy Raynes of the Lower Farmington River/Salmon Brook Wild and Scenic Study Committee.
NEW BUSINESS:
Aimee Petras of the Farmington River Watershed Association contacted Chairman Lengvarsky about the Commission picking a date for this year’s rain barrel event. The Commission decided a date in April would be best, and will evaluate the success of this year’s event when determining whether the Commission will participate for the 2011 season. Chairman Lengvarsky will contact Ms. Petras to lock in a date.
ON A MOTION by Ms. Flint, seconded by Mr. Katan, the Commission voted (6-0-0) to adjourn the meeting at 8:07 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Emily Leveille
