B) MAINTAIN PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN MOHONK PRESERVES ABILITY TO ENFORCE EASEMENT RESTRICTIONS GENERALLY, AND IN PART AS A DETERRENT TO OTHER POTENTIAL VIOLATORS. C) PROTECT MOHONK PRESERVES LEGAL RIGHTS AND ECONOMIC INVESTMENT (IF ANY) IN THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. D) MAINTAIN THE MOST CONSTRUCTIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIP POSSIBLE WITH THE LANDOWNER. E) NO ONE PERSON SHOULD MAKE DECISIONS ON WHETHER A VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED OR ON OUR RESPONSE. STAFF SHOULD NEVER GIVE A LANDOWNER AN ON-THE-SPOT OPINION THAT A VIOLATION DOES, OR DOES NOT EXIST. F) ONCE STAFF HAS DETERMINED, AFTER A CAREFUL REVIEW, THAT A VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED, THE STEPS OUTLINED BELOW SHALL BE FOLLOWED. G) MAINTAIN PROFESSIONALISM AND INTEGRITY. H) USE LITIGATION AS A LAST RESORT AND ONLY WHEN THERE IS A MERITORIOUS LEGAL BASIS FOR JUDICIAL ACTION. I) MAINTAIN CONSISTENT RESPONSES TO SIMILAR CONSERVATION EASEMENT VIOLATIONS. VIOLATION PREVENTION STRATEGIES A) MAINTAIN GOOD LANDOWNER RELATIONS. B) STAFF SHALL CONDUCT ANNUAL MONITORING AND CREATE A WRITTEN MONITORING REPORT. C) MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP INFORMED OF WHEN PROPERTIES CHANGE HANDS. D) PROMPTLY CONTACT NEW OWNERS (AND WORK WITH REAL ESTATE AGENTS) TO ENSURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND MOHONK PRESERVES MISSION, THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT FOR THEIR PROPERTY, AND THE CONCEPT AND PURPOSE OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IN GENERAL. E) WORK TO ENSURE IN THE DRAFTING OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, THAT DRAFTING STANDARDS CAREFULLY MINIMIZE VAGUENESS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN ENFORCEMENT QUESTION. F) ENCOURAGE EASEMENT LANDOWNERS ANNUALLY TO ASK FOR A REVIEW OF A PROPOSED ACTION WHETHER OR NOT IT IS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THE TERMS OF AN EASEMENT IN ORDER TO AVOID A POTENTIAL VIOLATION. STEPS TO TAKE IN THE EVENT OF A POSSIBLE VIOLATION POSSIBLE EASEMENT VIOLATIONS MAY BE DISCOVERED IN THE COURSE OF ANNUAL MONITORING INSPECTIONS, OR AS REPORTED BY NEIGHBORS, NEW PROPERTY OWNERS, OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES. STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED BY THE MOHONK PRESERVE STAFF IN THE CASE OF A POTENTIAL VIOLATION ARE AS FOLLOWS: REVIEW THE EASEMENT TERMS. REVIEW THE EASEMENT DOCUMENT, BASELINE INVENTORY, AND MONITORING REPORTS TO DETERMINE IF AN EASEMENT VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED, ITS EXACT NATURE, AND WHEN IT TOOK PLACE. CONSULT LEGAL COUNSEL FOR INTERPRETATION IF NECESSARY. DOCUMENT THE VIOLATION. VISIT THE SITE TO INSPECT AND CAREFULLY DOCUMENT THE VIOLATION. THE VIOLATION MUST BE DESCRIBED IN DETAIL, INCLUDING LOCATION AND EXTENT. PHOTOS KEYED TO A PHOTOMAP SHOULD BE TAKEN, SIGNED AND DATED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER. QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTS OF THE VIOLATION SHOULD BE NOTED AS APPROPRIATE, E.G. AREA OF IMPACT, NUMBER OF TREES DAMAGED. FIELD NOTES SHOULD BE SIGNED AND DATED BY THE PERSON CONDUCTING THE INSPECTION. IF THE LANDOWNER DOES NOT GRANT THE MOHONK PRESERVE STAFF PERMISSION TO ENTER THE PROPERTY, CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL ON HOW TO PROCEED. THE DIRECTOR OF LAND PROTECTION SHOULD CIRCULATE A MEMO TO INFORM THE DIRECTOR OF LAND STEWARDSHIP AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE STATUS OF THE VIOLATION. CONTACT THE LANDOWNER. MEET WITH THE LANDOWNER IN PERSON IF POSSIBLE TO DISCUSS THE VIOLATION. LISTEN TO THE LANDOWNERS EXPLANATION, ASK QUESTIONS, TAKE NOTES, AND ASK THEM TO VOLUNTARILY CORRECT THE VIOLATION, OR AT LEAST TO CEASE ANY FURTHER WORK UNTIL THE MATTER CAN BE REVIEWED BY MOHONK PRESERVES BOARD. DOCUMENT ALL MEETINGS AND WRITE A FOLLOW-UP LETTER (SEND CERTIFIED RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) TO THE LANDOWNER CONFIRMING ANY AGREEMENTS MADE ON SITE ABOUT THE RESTORATION OF THE PROPERTY AND COMPLIANCE DATES. IF THE LANDOWNER AGREES TO RESTORE AND/OR REMEDIATE THE PROPERTY: IF THE LANDOWNER AGREES TO RESTORE AND/OR REMEDIATE THE PROPERTY, STAFF SHOULD SEND A FOLLOW UP LETTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE REFLECTING THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE RESTORATION WORK AND THE AGREED-UPON TIMETABLE FOR COMPLETION. THE SITE SHOULD BE REVISITED ON THE DEADLINE DATE, AND THE RESTORATION WORK SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED WITH PHOTOGRAPHS, NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION, AND QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTS. SEND THE LANDOWNER A FOLLOW-UP LETTER (SEND CERTIFIED RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) ATTESTING TO THE SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF THE WORK, OR OTHERWISE AS APPROPRIATE. IF THE LANDOWNER REFUSES TO VOLUNTARILY RESTORE THE PROPERTY: IF THE LANDOWNER REFUSES TO VOLUNTARILY RESTORE THE PROPERTY, THE MOHONK PRESERVES DIRECTOR OF LAND PROTECTION SHALL CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, THE PRESIDENT AND THE CHAIR OF THE LAND PROTECTION COMMITTEE TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE VIOLATION AND DETERMINE AN ENFORCEMENT STRATEGY, AND SHALL REVIEW THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT ENFORCEMENT POLICY ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON APRIL, 15, 2012. THIS STRATEGY SHALL THEN BE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR REVIEW AND IT IS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT WILL EITHER APPROVE OR NOT APPROVE THE STAFF AND COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ENFORCEMENT STRATEGY. ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES AND POTENTIAL VIOLATION REMEDIES: THERE ARE SEVERAL ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES AVAILABLE TO MOHONK PRESERVE TO WORK TOWARD A VIOLATION REMEDY. ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES WILL BE REVIEWED AND SELECTED BY STAFF, IN CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND THE LAND PROTECTION COMMITTEE, AND RECOMMENDED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: EDUCATION, MEDIATION, REMEDIATION, MITIGATION, ASSISTING LANDOWNERS WITH POSTING THEIR PROPERTY BOUNDARIES, LITIGATION INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AND CRIMINAL CHARGES. COURT ENFORCEMENT IS EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING, MAY PRODUCE AN UNDESIRABLE OUTCOME, AND WILL LIKELY IRREPARABLY DAMAGE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PROPERTY OWNER AND MOHONK PRESERVE. AS SUCH, IT SHOULD BE PURSUED AS A LAST RESORT. NEVERTHELESS, COURT ENFORCEMENT MAY BE NECESSARY TO DEFEND AN EASEMENT, PREVENT OR STOP DAMAGING ACTIVITIES, OR OBTAIN RESTORATION. IN SUCH INSTANCES MOHONK PRESERVE STAFF SHALL WORK CLOSELY WITH OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO PREPARE AND PRESENT THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE CASE. THIRD PARTY VIOLATIONS MOHONK PRESERVE VIEWS ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH OWNERS OF CONSERVED LAND AS A PARTNERSHIP. THIS RELATIONSHIP IS BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT WE SHARE A COMMON INTEREST IN GOOD STEWARDSHIP OF THE CONSERVED LAND. WHEN THIRD PERSONS TRESPASS ON THE CONSERVED LAND AND DAMAGE THE RESOURCES THAT BOTH THE OWNER AND THE MOHONK PRESERVE HAVE CONSERVED, THEN MOHONK PRESERVE WILL SEEK TO ENGAGE THE COOPERATION OF THE OWNER IN WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO STOP THE TRESPASS AND HAVE THE TRESPASSER FIX ANY DAMAGE CAUSED. MOHONK PRESERVE REVIEWS EACH THIRD PARTY VIOLATION OF A CONSERVATION EASEMENT ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS WHEN DECIDING WHAT EDUCATION MEASURES AND REMEDIES ARE NECESSARY. IF THE TRESPASSER IS UNWILLING TO COOPERATE WITH THE OWNER AND MOHONK PRESERVE, THEN WE MAY HAVE TO CONSIDER JUDICIAL REMEDIES. SCHEDULE D, PAGE 1, PART II, LINE 9 THE ORGANIZATION MAY RECOGNIZE REVENUE FROM CONSERVATION EASEMENT TRANSACTIONS. ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2017 MOHONK PRESERVE (MP)ADOPTED ITS UPDATED CONSERVATION EASEMENT STEWARDSHIP GIFTS POLICY AND DESIGNATED THE WILLIAM R. GINSBERG LAND PROTECTION FUND (GF) TO HOLD DONATED FUNDS RESTRICTED OR DESIGNATED FOR THE COST OF PREPARING, ACQUIRING, MONITORING AND ENFORCING CONSERVATION EASEMENTS. THE GF WILL HOLD FUNDS AS ENDOWMENT PROVIDING ANNUAL DRAWS FOR THE REGULAR COSTS OF MANAGING AND MONITORING EASEMENTS; AND IT WILL HOLD ACCUMULATED FUNDS THAT CAN BE USED TO COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ENFORCING AN EASEMENT IF AND WHEN NEEDED. THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF A CONTRIBUTION ACCOMPANYING THE GRANTING OR TRASNFER OF AN EASEMENT TO MP IS 5,000 TO FUND THE GF. MP WILL ADVISE DONORS TO PERMANENTLY RESTRICT 3,500 OR 70% OF THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE ENDOWMENT PORTION OF THE GF TO SUPPORT ANNUAL COSTS AND TO TEMPORARILY RESTRICT 1,500 OR 30% OF THEIR DONATION TO THE GF AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT OF MP EASEMENTS. DONORS WILL BE ADVISED THAT THE GF IS A COLLECTIVE FUND WHERE ANNUAL DRAWS AND ENFORCEMENT DRAWS SUPPORT MP'S ENTIRETY OF EASEMENTS, NOT JUST THEIR SPECIFIC EASEMENT. THE REQUIRED CONTRIBUTION CAN BE INCREASED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE LAND PROTECTION COMMITTEE. THE COMPLEXITY OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT, POTENTIAL PROBLEM RESTRICTIONS, AND THE EASE OR DIFFICULTY TO MONITOR THE PROPERTY WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN DETERMINING THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT REQUIRED CONTRIBUTION. EXPENSES FOR CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ARE PART OF PROGRAM EXPENSES REPORTED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S REVENUE AND EXPENSE STATEMENT. ANY COSTS OF ACQUIRING A CONSERVATION EASEMENT ARE INCLUDED ON THE BALANCE SHEET AS AN ASSET.
