Summary

The committee heard updates on three land projects: Big Rock (anticipated closing Oct. 30, pending a Coastal grant expected to cover about 50%), Maxwell (budget amendment approved; closing expected July 30), and ongoing stewardship grant close-outs.

County staff updated committee members on several land-acquisition efforts.

Big Rock remains on track for a closing date of Oct. 30. Staff said they are anticipating a Coastal grant that, if awarded, would cover about 50% of the total costs; the department expects to know the grant outcome in September. Maxwell’s budget amendment was approved at the prior board meeting, and staff said the Maxwell closing is expected to occur on July 30.

The minutes also noted a stewardship grant that still needs to be closed out; no dates or amounts were provided for stewardship close-out activities. Committee members did not take final action on acquisitions at the July 13 meeting beyond receiving staff updates.
