1. Regular Meeting of February 25, 2014 — No Meeting Reminder: Chairman Reinhard
reminded the Commission that there was no meeting scheduled on February 25, 2014.
2. Banking Policy Discussion: Ms. Campese asked the Commissioners to approve a new
banking policy to allow authorized signers (Ms. Bell, Ms. Campese, Ms. Strang and Mr. Savetsky)
to transfer approved wan-ant monies by online banking transfer rather than the current method of
faxing a transfer directive to the bank and relying on bank staff to transfer the funds. Further, the
Land Bank auditors had no concerns about the staff online transfer method so long as there was
such an approved policy. Upon a motion made and duly seconded, it was unanimously VOTED to
approve the policy allowing the authorized signers to transfer Commissioner approved monies
between bank accounts by online transfer.
H. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:
1. Property Supervisor's Monthly Review: Mr. Pollock provided an overview of work
performed by property management staff in January including additional trail work at Trimpi and
planning for the expansion of the parking lot in the spring. In addition, work continued with the
Sconset Trust to cut trails at Riddick Continuous and staff expected to install a parking lot and move
12 -13 cedar trees onto the property in March. Mr. Pollock reported that he, Mr. Halik and Mr.
Earley had taken the Hoister's License exam and were awaiting the results. Further, staff
constructed additional sections of the Sanguinetti boardwalk and there were approximately 100 feet
left to finish the project. During unfavorable weather staff worked on reorganizing the shop.

Bell, upon a motion made and duly seconded, it was unanimously VOTED to authorize Ms. Bell to
sign a contract for design services with Solomon, Bauer and Giambastiani for the contract price of
$98,700.

Pollock on their permitting work and recommended that staff continue to do the permitting on
projects they feel they can accomplish, stating further that the Land Bank could hire consultants on
more complex projects, as needed.
7. 27 Quaise Road/Carter — Bluff Remediation/Beach Nourishment: Mr. Pollock reported
significant erosion to the beach at Carter which he was concerned may undermine the bulkhead.
