Since the third Committee meeting held July 22, 2019, District staff has completed a complete DRAFT of the plan. The only items excluded are the complete problem list, selected goals and activities, and implementation plan. The complete problem list will be provided prior to the meeting. The
DRAFT is available on the project webpage. It includes process write up, review of existing plans, hazard and problem assessments, activity review and exemplary problem list, goals and selected activities. This represents the most challenging phase of committee participation, identifying goals to address each listed problem and reviewing which of the 6 authorized activities are appropriate. Accordingly meeting frequency for the next two months will increase.
