Subject: Agenda items for MSHCP Advisory
Committee regarding public notice and involvement
Dear Richard:
Riverside County Farm Bureau proposes that
two items be placed on the agenda for the MSHCP Advisory Committee
to consider public notice and involvement.
First, Farm Bureau proposes to forward
a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors that the county immediately
issue individual notices to all property owners who may be affected
by the MSHCP, specifically all owners of properties that are within
or potentially affected by the conservation analysis units. This
plan has significant implications for property owners and for future
land use in western Riverside County. Press coverage and other general
public information is not adequate to alert individual property
owners. Farm Bureau believes it is absolutely necessary to inform
all individual property owners about the current development of
the MSHCP and about their opportunity to attend meetings and participate
in the planning process.
Second, Farm Bureau proposes that, prior
to any action by the MSHCP Advisory Committee, whether by consensus
or by a vote, the public be invited to comment at that time on that
subject. This public comment may be limited to a reasonable time,
for example three minutes per individual speaker. We believe it
is essential for the public to become involved in this important
process and for MSHCP Advisory Committee members to hear input from
members of the public on key matters before the committee makes
any decision.
Sincerely,
Andy Domenigoni
President
Riverside County Farm Bureau
cc: Board of Supervisors
