Concur Recommendations: R4 Will not be implemented. The Simi Valley Cir Council and the SVCDA meet concurrently for the convenience of the citizens of Simi Valley. Providing for meetings on two different dates will require citizens to come to City Hall on I multiple occasions to address issues on each agency's agenda. Having meetings at the same time requues only one visit to Cil Hall. Citizen input on all I agenda items is received at the beginning of the agenda as part of the Public Statements Public Hearings portion of the meeting. Therefore, citizens or are not required to wait extended periods of time to address individual agenda items, whether City or SVCDA. Additionally, unlike meetings of the Ventura I I County Board of Supervisors, meetings of the SVCDA are conducted in the evening to allow better access by the public. R-S Will be implemented upon notification ofthe designated County office.
