Pros:
To increase odds of success of implementing conservation measures
Project Legitimization Committee
Cons:
• May have unintended consequences
Elected officials might want to participate and push their own agenda
• DEP personnel and contracted facilitator cannot participate
Project Legitimization Committee
Compatibility with Mission of OFR:
• OFR partly funded by DEP
DEP funds cannot be used for lobbying
• North CWG formed similar subgroup that will meet next month
Project Legitimization Committee
Meeting outcome:
• PLC will continue but be independent from South CWG…. James Byrne (TNC) will be the lead
• Goal will be to obtain legislative support for mandate to implement final recommendations of the OFR working groups
Project Legitimization Committee
Questions:
• Does South CWG support this effort?
• Should North and South groups work together or separately?
