Supervisor Announcements

• Supervisor Huberty – attended last CCWD meeting, did two county meetings, heard Chair Tofanelli’s state of the address for the County, met with the Senator, and toured the animal shelter and will have more news next month.
• Supervisor Garamendi – attended Public Health Faire – it was a great show. Golden State Connect continues to work to submit grants. We have a solid and affordable plan.
• Supervisor Folendorf – last week attended the RCRC annual conference – one of the most important items was outdoor recreation and he did a great job at explaining the connection with the outdoors and building the community. COG received a grant of $300,000 for recreation and I think that will be helpful for our general plan. Attended the LAFTCO meeting and they have a new and improved website, more interactive. Attended a meeting with the ACTA chairman and two board members. Felt it was positive and looking forward to making some next steps.
• Chair Tofanelli – my report has already been reported out.
