Those items are attached to <br />this email message. <br />The Work Group met three times (11/21/06, 12/21/06, and 1/18/07). You'll <br />see in the attached Meeting Report that the Work Group has concluded that <br />the County Manager or Board of County Commissioners -- and not this Work <br />Group -- should clarify how the County as an organization will address water <br />resources. <br />The Work Group is open to meeting with you, at your invitation, if you want <br />any clarification from it. Otherwise, the group has asked me to let you <br />know that it considers its service on this matter to be completed. <br />Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist the County by facilitating <br />the Work Group's deliberations. I hope that my efforts added some value to <br />the Work Group's process. It is obvious to me that the two County staff <br />persons and six citizen volunteers who comprised the Work Group cared very <br />much about each other, the task before them,. and the County's well being. <br />They are to be commended for applying themselves steadily, earnestly, and <br />energetically to the Work Group's business over these past several months. <br />Please let me know if there is anything further I can do to assist you. <br />
