The document summarizes the key discussions and plans from a county LEPC meeting and the local EOC's objectives. It was the author's first LEPC meeting. They discussed adopting similar bylaws and did not get to local initiatives. The EOC aims to update emergency response plans, conduct training/exercises, and cooperate with public safety organizations and stakeholders. The LEPC's strategy is to perform a community risk assessment, create hazard maps, and hold stakeholder meetings and tabletop exercises to attain understanding before moving to drills/exercises. It also highlights the governor's budget increases for oil spill preparedness and the Environmental Protection Fund.

1. County LEPC Meeting
• Good to meet the faces, and players from Industry

Sheriff Rep
• They are getting through by-laws.
• That was their 3rd meeting. My first.
• Gerry Morigerato (Momentive guy - is Chair).
• Didn't even get the chance to discuss out local
initiatives, but that’s OK
• We may need to adopt similar bylaws for local
steering committee, I can almost copy paste.

8. Governor’s Highlights
• Enhance Oil Spill Preparedness
In response to the increased volume of crude oil being transported
through New York State, the Budget provides funding for additional
staff dedicated to oil spill planning, training and response, consistent with
Governor Cuomo's Executive Order 125, which outlines steps the State is taking
to improve oil spill response and prevention. The Budget also provides the
necessary funding for planning and preparedness costs and ensures the
solvency of the Oil Spill Fund by increasing fees for oil transported through New
York.
• Increase investment in the Environmental Protection Fund
The enacted budget raises the Environmental Protection Fund to $177
million dollars, an increase of 32 percent since Governor Cuomo took
office. The $15 million increase will support increases in fourteen
categories, including land conservation, stewardship, and invasive
species control and prevention. The increase includes a new sub-
allocation for capacity grants to State Parks friends’ groups.
