COMMENTS FO MOTION: MIKE - need to play a more important role as the county, and in the general plan; we are about to launch w/our general plan, they applied throughout the county; Linda is inviting the hen in the foxhouse; inviting staff to work with her - want to direct organization to pick it up a knotch as far as that direction is concerned; have parks and resources, is seeing, that we don’t have enough resources there to cover everything that needs attention; gave example of stakeholders group - doesn’t feel w/head above water; asked that county look at those issues, and get up to speed on these issues, Linda represents the delta, not y.c.; indicated Lois Wolk is taking great interest in this issue; includes Wes, our winery issues, econ development needs to be factored in, as well as ag commissioner; is asking that this discussion be elevated - and address issues - need work on issues for Julie, Petrea, etc.
Yamada supports Mike’s comments - don’t know how to organize this, but we have able staff, Julia, stepping up to all water issues;
SUP. THOMSON - WE SENT LTR. NOV. 6 RE concerns of this BOARD re: ag flood management, and hcp/nccp, etc. - has struggled w/delta issues, noted it’s a very serious process

YAMADA - are you thinking of the strategic in the Delta, just want sense;
Mike - answer is yes, but specifically the Delta Protection Commission is going to give us guidelines on how to live in the delta, we don’t have peo. to work w/Linda - the product will address y.c. issues.
Linda Fiack - indicated Delta Vission is important, but just getting someone there is not the only issue; a lot of expertise is going to the water service, also, Contra Costa county is in - may want to look at that model;
Yamada - are we talking about
