Approval of Draft Minutes from February 11, 2019. Bill W. made a motion to <br /> approve the minutes as written. Alan P. seconded. Approved unanimously. <br /> IV. Update of CFE Activities <br /> Bradley S. led an update of CFE activities listed on page 2 of the agenda. Kim L. <br /> provided an update on the status of forest management policy item. Several <br /> groups are starting to discuss this topic. Better to discuss collaboratively instead <br /> of individually, now trying to set up a meeting to discuss. Jody offered that <br /> OWASA is currently embarking on a similar process with their lands. Bill W. is <br /> currently working on GHG emission data in OC. Kim L. reported she is working <br /> with the Collaborative Conservation group and they expect to finish the <br /> landscape corridor plan this month. <br /> V. SOE Item <br /> Kim L. reviewed the updated SOE timeline, detailing draft due the end of March. <br /> Individual issue pages are now posted on Google Drive, ready for group editing <br /> effort, including content, similar styles, format, etc. One issue page currently has <br /> not been submitted. Bill W. asked if a PowerPoint will be made. The idea is to <br /> ultimately create three products: a PDF, a PowerPoint, and a website. Still <br /> some issues to work out for website. The plan is to have a final draft in June, <br /> give info to graphic designer, and she will hopefully finish her work in July when <br /> the CFE does not have a meeting scheduled. Then the report would be <br /> presented to the BOCC in October. No further info currently on the planned joint <br /> event with the Collaborative Conservation Group. <br /> A brief Google Docs tutorial for the group was then done. Kim L. and Bradley led <br /> the discussion of where the SOE 2019 documents are, how to access, and how <br /> to edit. They went over issue template and example issue- bird population <br />
