OLD BUSINESS

A. Deputy County Manager Peggy Jenson explained the proposed land donation from Chamberlain to the District. The 90 acres of land would be donated as open space to the District. The County offered the services of the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center (PCRC) to provide a series of community meetings to discuss the possible use of the land. The PCRC would help with community outreach, recruiting participants, agendas, and the process to follow, facilitation and a summary of the meetings. The Board discussed the matter. J.S. made a motion to start the process to investigate the accepting of the donation of the Chamberlain land and the motion passed unanimously.

B. The Municipal Service Review from LAFCo has not been completed. The last update was that the draft would be out in the fall of 2008.
