Unless agreed otherwise <br /> between the parties , each governing body holding ownership shall be liable for and <br /> maintain the property in a manner consistent with the Management Plan . <br /> a) Conservation Easements .

Amendments to the Master Plan to include the additional land will <br /> be initiated through the joint county and town staff, with recommendations to <br /> the Parties ' elected boards for approval . If the proposed additional land requires <br /> additional costs for maintenance and/or operations , then the additional costs for <br /> land acquisition, operations , and maintenance shall be negotiated and approved <br /> by the Parties ' elected boards . If, however, the additional land is located in only <br /> one of the counties , and its acquisition would have no financial impact on costs <br /> associated with Park operations and maintenance, then the purchase of the <br /> proposed land may be made by the county in which the land is located.
