power and water infrastructures. His interests lie in transportation
infrastructure within the County. He also commented about the Forest
Service winning a court case on whether the Forest Service had properly
evaluated the environmental impacts of logging in the Quincy area.
Supervisor Holmes stated he had the honor of welcoming home the 184th
Infantry Division, National Guard Unit, deployed in Iraq for 18 months.
Supervisor Kranz spoke about a poll the American River Authority conducted in

strong support for the Auburn Dam as an alternative to flood protection in the
area.
