Patty welcomed everyone and provided an overview with a summary of activities to date.  Tim described management options to prevent elk from entering a property based on Sequim experience. Elk could be diverted by creating other grassy areas. Fencing seems to be inevitable. Discussed different fencing options that could work.  Garth: we are an environmental company and have reduced the golf course from 18 holes to 9 holes. It used to be a campground with soccer and baseball fields. We closed the campground around 2007/08. The “grasses” have over grown and the site is not virgin property.  Tim: how many acres of grass will be created now that it is 9-holes?  Garth: Xeroscaping will be planned in between the tee area and fairway.  Tim: what is the vegetation?  Garth: low scrub-shrub plus Rhody’s on side with added crushed rock.  Don asked Tim to help with vegetation.  Patty asked Tim to describe the fence.  Tim: The fence can be disguised back in the woods and designed to allow smaller species passage. It does not necessarily have to be a solid fence and can use topography. Possible fencing adjacent to Black Point Road or cattle guard. Ideally, we would walk the boundary line with the site plan in hand.  Garth stated the majority of Black Point Peninsula is single family residences and people have grass and do not have elk.  Tim: Elk typically do not like individual single family yards as they are too fragmented. Believes fence should be first order and not last. If another place can be produced that is an attractive diversion for the elk, it could keep them off the golf course.  Tim suggests an on-site field visit with DFW to know more about landscaping and will work on setting up that meeting.  Don would be very happy to be tour guide post October 4th.  Joe: great idea; may we have your ideas? Water Quality Management Plan /Shellfish: 3  Sam: Water quality monitoring for biological oxygen demand is existing and ongoing (for Pleasant Harbor and Duckabush flats). Sam suggests mussel cages which can be used to track (chemical) contamination and help to know if pollution is occurring.  Discussion of adaptive management and corrective actions needing to be better described.  Garth: State health works with local health department on water quality monitoring. We will do the monitoring and also test the monitoring wells.  The monitoring wells will be sampled.  Patty wraps up meeting with some next steps being considered.  Roma requests another meeting on cultural resource and on shellfish.
