Creation of BOCC Open Space Task Force <br /> The Board considered creating an open space task force with associated charge, <br /> structure and timeline. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that she and Commissioner Brown have proposed to create <br /> a BOCC Open Space Task Force to try to move along some items that would be coming to the <br /> Board's attention. The charge of this group would be to make recommendations to the <br /> Commissioners for integrating the parks report and the Lands Legacy Program. The task force <br /> would also make recommendations to the Commissioners about facilitating the implementation of <br /> the reports. <br /> Commissioners Gordon and Brown will serve on this task force.
