R1
A West County Coastal Watershed Coordinating Committee should be established by Public Facilities and Resources Department to serve as a clearinghouse for all organizations and individuals and to operate as a round-table forum to facilitate the sharing of information between persons, agencies, and organizations with an interest in water quality in the West County Coastal Watershed area. The Director of the Public Facilities and Resources Department should review whether the Newport Bay Coordinating Committee has accomplished its goals and how a similar organization could act as the model for a West County Coastal Watershed Coordinating Committee. A response to Recommendation 1 is required from the Board of Supervisors, and requested from the Chief Executive Office and the Public Facilities and Resources Department.
