SUPERVISOR’S COMMITTEE REPORTS – Supervisor Duran said he filled in for Supervisor Holmes on the Sacramento Area Council of Governments that had discussions regarding the State Budget.  Chairman Weygandt advised he Supervisor Holmes, and Tom Miller just returned from the annual Advocacy Trip to Washington, D.C. advising they had 14 meetings in two days.  Chairman Weygandt said he thought the meetings went well, stating it is important to develop the relationships for County legislative priorities.  Supervisor Holmes said the meetings regarding the Placer County Conservation Plan were well received and may be used as a template for other jurisdictions throughout the nation.  Supervisor Holmes said County officials get criticized for going to Washington, as we have representatives there, but our programs need to be brought to those representatives and they bring them forward to the committees and elected officials there.  Supervisor Holmes said they had a discussion with Elliott Levine, Technology Manager for the Office of the Biomass Program, and he was energized about our Biomass Program.  Supervisor Holmes said they met with the Senior Intergovernmental Liaison Specialist from the Office of Community Orienting Policing Services about our COPS grant program for radio frequencies throughout Placer County.  Supervisor Holmes said they met with the Liaison of State and Local Government for the Bureau of Reclamation and the Chief of Staff for the Deputy Commissioner for the Bureau of Reclamation and there is $2.7 million in the president’s budget for the Auburn State Recreation Area Funding for 2012.  Supervisor Holmes said they met with Congressman McClintock noting three amendments proposed: Amendment 306-Reduce funding for Corp of Engineers Civil Department of the Army by $586,600,000; Amendment 300-Prohibit any funds available under the Department of Energy to be used for biomass and bio-refinery systems; and Amendment 356-Eliminate funding for the Department of Interior, United States Fish & Wildlife Service Land Acquisition Account.  Supervisor Montgomery said she was pleased to see the $2.7 million figure for Auburn State Recreation Area and thanked Supervisors and Tom Miller for going back to D.C. noting the important thing about having County representatives go to D.C. is meeting with the agencies.  Supervisor Montgomery also thanked Mike Finnegan from the Bureau of Reclamation in working with us to help identify funding for the Auburn Stare Recreation Area.  Supervisor Uhler said the effort put forth on Washington trips has borne results and encouraged those who question why it is necessary for us to go to Washington D.C. to ask questions about the 10th Amendment and why we let so much power and money go to Washington in the first place rather than telling the Federal Government no those are the States prerogative.
