the County form a Drainage Task Force, similar to the Solid Waste
Task Force, using the people on this drainage committee as the
nucleus and adding to them as necessary and give them a long-range
task of coming up with the answers to all the problems.
Mr. Silliman recommended that the TaskForce be given a fairly
narrow charter, such as concentrating on technical specifications
for new developments, so they wouldn't be doing the same thing
that the Study Committee had done.
o
Corom. Blake clarified his motion to indicate that he meant for
that same group to continue with the Study that the Commissioners
had already obtained, and he was not suggesting going back, but
that other members be added to the Committee to represent developers
and whoever else needed to be added to it to continue on this
particular study.
Comm. Gottovi requested that the motion be amended to indicate
that the Task Force be directed to address the technical specifica~
tions for new developments and SECONDED Comm. Blake's motion with
that amendment. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

the Commissioners might have could be resolved before the
