Agenda:

Please note that times are approximate.

7:30 p.m. Public introductions and comments

7:35 Appoint minutes taker and approve/amend May minutes

7:45 Additions, amendments to agenda

7:50 Winooski River: Review FOWR areas of interest, determine RCC areas of interest and develop next steps and action plan

8:50 Consider Sam P's request for suitable river or brook for cleanup and willingness to help

9:00 How to sustain a regular invasive species removal effort in Richmond

9:15 Training: Consider RCC hosting a Vermont Conservation Design (VCD) and Biofinder training for our commission, the Andrews Community Forest Committee, the Town Planning Commission and any other interested committees.

It would be helpful for us all to have a better idea about the goals of the VCD, our responsibilities related to Act 59 and how to use the recently updated biofinder to better understand how Richmond's wetlands and woodlands fit into the big picture of 30 by 30 and 50 by 50. Maybe we could share the link to a recorded zoom training and then discuss organizing an in-person presentation and training for ourselves and other committees.

9:25 Matters arising

9:30 Adjourn

Minutes (formal or informal) are due at the town offices 5 days after any public meeting.
Please send RCC chair a draft within 5 days from this meeting (by 7/16/2024).
