MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Jim Steele, District 3 Supervisor
Moke Simon, District 1 Supervisor
DATE: September 19, 2017
SUBJECT: Approve and sign the letter requesting Governor Brown sign AB 707, which would establish the Blue Ribbon Committee for the Rehabilitation of Clear Lake.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As you are aware, Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry authored AB 707, which would establish the Blue Ribbon Committee for the Rehabilitation of Clear Lake. The Committee would set accountability standards to put Clear Lake on a tangible path toward recovery. Given that Clear Lake is a cornerstone of the County economy, a structured response to environmental hazards that threaten its usability is essential.
In June, Governor Brown included funding for AB 707 in his 2017-18 State Budget. AB 707 has now passed through the State Legislature, as well.
Assemblymember Aguiar-Curry’s office asked that we submit a letter requesting Governor Brown’s signature.
