Presentation by Planimetrics – 2013 Plan Conservation and Development (Draft) Glenn Chalder gave a brief overview of the document format with the key sections stating the document is for a 10 year period with a strategy that can be followed for 20-30 years. He stated this is a change from the last POCD since this would include a separate implementation manual. Mr. Chalder suggested reviewing the document with the Commission members for any input/changes that needed to be made. The Commission reviewed the document with the POCD subcommittee and pointed out a few areas of text and mapping that needed to be changed or corrected. There was a brief discussion on the Implementation Guide which mirrors the strategic element of the POCD and can be used as roadmap of: who, what, and where towards implementation. Bob Mills of NCDC volunteered to talk to the agencies and committees that are listed in the guide to get their participation. F.
