The Commission took the opportunity to discuss special conditions for this type of permit. Ms. Mullins outlined the special conditions that she and Ms. Amber Carr, Conservation Coordinator, put together. Ms. Ladd asked if a sign stating that a camera was in use would lead to possible theft and Ms. Mullins responded that the intention is to put a sign by the entrance or kiosk, so it would not identify exactly where on the property the camera is.
