Hi Agnes,

I didn't mean to imply that three votes will lead to codifying Measure S.
What I was saying was that three votes could codify a ban on fracking in the
County.

I don't believe the broader proscriptions described in "S" can be codified
since they run so directly against state and federal law.  There is also the
issue of an initiative addressing more than single subject (which is
apparently a flaw in the drafting of "S").

Prior to the November election, Sups. McCowen and Brown wanted to send "S"
to the Superior Court to determine its constitutionality; however, a Board
majority voted to allow it to go to the ballot regardless of the potential
for a state and/or federal constitutional challenge.

Now that "S" has passed overwhelmingly, I would like to see the original
anti-fracking measure come back to the Board.

I will talk with County Counsel to make sure I'm right about these matters.

Dan

Dear Dan,Please give us your thoughts on this.

Agnes
As Dan Hamburg said we need three votes to codify measure S into law.

We need to meet with supervisors, two at a time in a home, and tell them we
want them to urge the County Cousel to codify Measure "S" in its entirety.
Ask them if they will vote on such an agendized item to that effect. Then
meet privately with 2 more supervisors telling them the same.If we have 3
solid yeahs then it should become an agenda item to be voted on by the whole
board.
That's my experience,you can check with Dan Hamburg or your supervisor.

Agnes
