Meeting location: Historic Train Depot, 110 Higgins Canyon Road, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019

At the start of the committee meeting, General Manager Ana Ruiz recommended the Committee take no action on the draft grazing policy amendments at the meeting to allow for more time for public input and to refine and adjust the general manager's recommendations, as necessary. The committee heard from the public and directed staff to seek additional public input and work with stakeholders, including members of the conservation and agricultural communities, to further refine and develop any grazing policy updates.
