STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
On July 11 th, 2022, the BoCC approved a Public Hearing Notice to hold a public hearing on amendments

since requested changes to their respective project budget, and the proposed draft resolutions reflect these
changes. Contributions from the CFF and project deliverables would remain as before.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the General Fund or Conservation Futures Fund for approving the resolution
amendments.
