develop a project for the work plan to replace the data reporting project that was formerly done by CHEC under contract
to the NEP. Management Conference: The Management and Policy Committees met in August 2009. There were
several important topics on the agenda. 1) The approval of a report summarizing the key points discussed at the
workshop, including those from the presenters, the peer reviewers, and the participants. While the District does not
necessarily agree with all the presentations given at the workshop or the abstracts that were submitted, the report does
appear to summarize the topics discussed and the District's comments were incorporated into the report.2) The
refinement of water quality targets and the setting of seagrass targets, which had not previously been set for Charlotte
Harbor. Seagrass Targets. District staff have worked closely with the consultant and the CHNEP to develop the targets
and the District supported this action item. The Management Committee recommended that the Policy committee
approve a contract with a consultant to complete the triennial review of water quality status and trends. 3) There was
considerable discussions on the CHNEP taking public interest money and that this should be discussed throughout the
management conference so that a policy may be developed.
