With 3 meetings it is important to get the general feel of the CDFG--new rules--friendly vs their usual self righteous BS, Turnout--rules of the meeting--length of time to speak--subjects covered. It doesn't pay to bang the drum 2-3 times on the same subject. Any info posted will assist in the Sac and Redding meets-thanx much for any info-John

Hello Mr. John

Went to the Fresno meeting Pat Keene and Jerry Hobbs were in attendance as well as most of the dredgers of the area.

Meeting agenda
5-6 Meet and greet the wonderful people who wrote the report and the DFG staff. While filling out cards for questions later.

6-7 Listen to presentation on how this is an EIR on suction dredging only and how to make good comments and contribute to the process. Listen to the questions on cards be read and answered by DFG and report people from Horizon.

7-8 More one on one time with the staff for specific questions if they could answer them.

Have questions ready to put on card ahead of time. Fresno filled the room with people now it is up to Sac and Redding to make an impression.

The DFG meeting is not taking verbal comments only explaining the process. Speaking will be at a later date.

Mainly they want written comments they can answer.
