A foremost goal of implementation is meeting with community partners and <br />educating and empowering the public with a soft implementation throughout 2013. This <br />informational presentation is provided as a means to garner BOCC feedback and suggestions <br />that may augment and improve the current implementation and enforcement plan. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with receiving the update report. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the BOCC receive the update report <br />as information and provide any comments and questions. <br />
