Community <br /> 37 Engagement Window #3, which was scheduled for May — July of this year, has been postponed <br /> 38 to allow additional time for the Board's review and Clarion Associate's professional services <br /> 39 paused. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Attachment A is the BOCC request for additional information, color coded for establishing a <br /> 42 timeframe for response and scheduling of Board meetings/retreat(s).
