concerning the finding split of the Audubon Society contract, staff provided a history of the permit and updated the
Board on current discussions with the permitting agencies to lessen the permit conditions concerning bird
monitoring and the educational component. Mr. Frank Pinkston with the Mason Inlet Preseivation Group (MIPG)
provided a history of the permit process and the reason that MIPG felt they should not be responsible for the full
funding of the Audubon Society contract. After Board discussion, the consensus was to hold the public hearing and
make a final determination on the Audubon Society contract finding formula at Monday's meeting so the
assessment can proceed as scheduled.

and answered questions from the Board:
