Prior to the visit there will be at least one written, email or phone communication to the landowner describing the monitoring visit. MCLC will inform the landowner of the purpose of the visit and will invite the landowner to be present on the visit. Before visiting the property the baseline documentation, previous monitoring reports and other background information will be reviewed. Notes and pictures will be taken documenting changes to the land, whether through natural means or through the activity of the landowner.A monitoring form will be completed to ensure consistency and thoroughness of each visit. The report will include information on the property, the conservation easement and the state of the property at the time of the monitoring visit outlining any changes or potential violations. Photos, maps and exhibits may also be included in the report as needed. MCLC will retain the form in its permanent files and a letter acknowledging its completion will be send to the landowner.If any violations are found, Mesa Land Trust will follow its Easement Violations policy.

The acquisition of these easements by MCLC promotes these conservation values but does not provide any economic value to MCLC. Therefore, donated easements are not recorded as assets of MCLC. Purchased easements are expensed in the year purchased. Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. The organizations Easement Stewardship Fund is a Board-designated fund. The monies in this fund are classified as temporarily restricted and may be used for monitoring, defending and enforcing the conservation easements the Land Trust holds. false false false false false false false false false ROBERT BLEIBERG Executive Direc 140576 10000 3704 154280 X 1 2461 SELLING PRICE X 6 6061300 APPRAISAL X 1 114000 APPRAISAL X SOFTWARE 2 23390 MKT VALUE X FOOD 1 678 MKT VALUE false true false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Finance Committee will review the 990 in depth and the full 990 will be sent to the full board prior to submission.
