Flash! On February 2 the Board of Supervisors
voted 5-0 to accept ("in concept") the recommendations
of the GE Advisory Committee, and to direct county counsel
to prepare an ordinance based upon them. The ordinance will
include the de minimus standard recommended by the majority,
and eliminate the final clause recommending review within
five years as superfluous. Details regarding costs will
be addressed when the ordinance comes before the Board.
