The Chairman opened the floor to public comment. <br />David Cox, Periwinkle Drive, wanted the Board to reconstitute the Committee, but his <br />primary concern was that the issues this committee had historically dealt with need to be focused <br />on by the level of direct citizen input, and to carry issues forward in an open and transparent <br />process. He discussed critical issues and challenges, suggested implementing a Water Quality <br />Focus Committee that would cross -cut water quality issues and AG lands, and stressed the <br />importance of offering citizens venues for public input . <br />There were no other speakers, and the Chairman closed the floor to public comment. <br />Vice Chairman Solari, through a PowerPoint Presentation, provided information <br />regarding MANWAC's scheduled and actual meetings, the only action taken during a five-year <br />period, and the estimated costs for holding a committee meeting. <br />Further discussion ensued regarding projects not being forwarded to MANWAC, making <br />committee structures more efficient, the lack of public input, balancing the cost of meetings, and <br />the possibility of eliminating committees. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED <br />by Vice Chairman Solari, the Board unanimously directed <br />staff to evaluate committees, membership, and <br />responsibilities, and bring it back to the Board for <br />reconsideration and reorganization. <br />(Clerk's Note: The above motion was reconsidered under Item14.B.3. and is placed here <br />for continuity.) <br />29 <br />February 16, 2010 <br />
