Board discussion followed wherin Member Carlson indicated that this issue is the responsibility of the County Flood Control District. After further discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to defer action on this matter until President Stanley, Member Carlson and staff members have had the opportunity to visit the site in question and formulate a recommendation for action by the Board.
