Commissioner Stewart: AI would move that we state the sentiment of the board that we reject all alternatives that are proposed; that we specifically state that we do not support any of the plans that talk about relocations or about dam structures west of 93; that we indicate our support for looking at flood warning systems, additional mapping with the potential for additional insurance there and that we seek other partners to look at what other alternatives, including the maximum use of the CU site for flood storage, might be. Further, that potential upstream enhancement measures, and cost and environmentally senstive solutions be sought.@ Commissioner Danish seconded the motion.
