Joint Public Hearing on February 27 regarding the Land Use Element <br />29 <br />30 AGENDA ITEM #3: CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONS TO AGENDA <br />31 <br />32 Bernadatte Pelissier: While this is not an actual addition to the agenda, I would like to see if we could <br />33 have an update or report on the USGS report, which I haven't seen and would appreciate getting a copy, <br />34 on recharge rates. I know that recharge rates vary a lot from place to place in the County, and was <br />35 wondering how this might affect the Land Use Plan update. Should something else should be considered <br />36 in areas where the recharge rates may be lower? Water resources are very much driving this update any <br />37 way, and I don't feel that I have a complete understanding if we should be looking at something else. <br />38 <br />39 Jay Bryan: I think all of us share that feeling, and appreciate your bringing it up at this time. Ted and I <br />40 had some discussions with Staff about putting an item on this agenda to follow up on our discussion from <br />41 last month's report, and Craig has a handout to give us this evening. Is it the desire of the Board to have <br />42 that item brought back for the next agenda? I don't recall how we left it last meeting, but we asked Staff <br />43 to follow up on questions we posed about the information we received. <br />44 <br />45 Ted Triebel: I believe that we left it that we would be appreciative and amenable to Don Cox coming <br />46 back at some time, and would like to know the outcomes of the task force recommendations from Staff. <br />47 <br />48 Renee Price - Saunders: Can we get some information with regards to the water thresholds, and legislation <br />49 ideas as to what can be done to use water resources as a criteria for evaluating subdivisions? <br />50 <br />51 Jay Bryan: Are there any other thoughts as to what information we would like? <br />51 <br />
