On February 1, 2011, the OWASA Executive <br />Director, Ed Kerwin, sent a signed letter of interest to be included in the Plan. A Cane Creek <br />Reservoir site was first included, and now the OWASA American Stone Quarry site is submitted <br />for inclusion. <br />Please refer to Attachment 1 for additional background detail on this item. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Please refer to Section C.3 of Attachment 1. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: The Planning Director recommends that the Board: <br />1. Receive this abstract. <br />2. Conduct a Public Hearing and accept all public and BOCC comments on the subject. <br />3. Adjourn the public hearing until March 22, 2012 where final action on the proposal shall <br />be taken by the BOCC. <br />
