[tylerdurden]

valet has always been free if you get it validated at the meeting.

Make sure you ask one of the I-Team staff members how or where to validate.

[Ohana]

Thanks.

Do love the tri-fold flier that shows their proposed 3-mile closure all along the coast, and very next page shows a guy surf fishing...guess he can cast 3 miles out...

Called them on that many meetings ago, was fun to watch them stumble and explain it...


Extensive Public Input = 15 seconds



That's all you get...

Stating your name (required) = 3 seconds
What you support (urged) = 5 seconds

That leaves you with 7 seconds to justify why you support what you do...


Ya, this is a fair process...and make sure you are courteous or the dictator will cut off the mic.

Having sat through many South County Air Quality Management District meetings, where companies can argue for or against a proposed emissions regulations, it is always best to know who is on the board and what their background is.

Any information on who is on the BRTF?

Based on the agenda I think public comment and the decision could come early in the day. They have had time to go over the maps for the last couple weeks and come up with opinions and decisions. I think about the only thing left for them is to make a motion and vote on which options to take, and they have to take public comment after the motion but before the vote. Like anything with the process, it is very muddy what will actually happen.

The SAT team is doing a teleconference webinar today.


Get there early tomorrow. The meeting starts at 9:30am and we are the first item on the ageda. I hope to be able to leave early to celebrate, or drown my sorrows. It might be all over but the crying by noon.

The meetign is scheduled to start at 9:30 am.

The SAT team met today.

They didn't factor in economics one bit, nor did they factor in loss of opportunity from what I heard.

They think the kelp in PL isn't worth protecting, but the LJ southern kelp has a better hard bottom.

The deep hard bottom habitat in Del Mar is worthless and isn't worth protecting, but the deep hard bottom in Malibu mandates closure of the best fishing areas for us .

Are we going to let them do this to us??
Stand up, show up, be counted. Don't be a doormat, and I ain't talking about halibut.

edit->
Bring signs, bring banners. Knock yourself out. Nothing threatening, no personal attacks. Make them pro fishing.
