SUPERVISOR’S COMMITTEE REPORTS – Supervisor Holmes reported that he had the honor of being the master of ceremonies at the dedication at the Placer County Community Clinic to Dr. Gordon Seck who passed away a year ago. Dr. Seck was the last administrator of the Placer County hospital and mental health director and public health director for Placer County for many years. Supervisor Weygandt advised that we are weeks away from submitting, to the regulatory agencies, the draft plan for the Placer County Conservation Plan. Chairman Uhler said he attended the California Computer Information and Chief Technology Officers Association meeting at the Resort at Squaw Creek, hosted by Placer County. Chairman Uhler said he attended the Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, and Granite Bay Chambers of Commerce business walk. Chairman Uhler said a consistent theme he heard was assistance with signage, as there are a lot of sign restrictions and businesses are looking for assistance. Chairman Uhler said some time back a sign ordinance revision was discussed and requested that issue be revisited and see what we can do to bring back language that would allow us to provide businesses with assistance.
