Councilman Clark briefed all present on the meeting he and Councilman Stern had on

agreement to acquire additional open space land in the Portuguese Bend area.
Mr. Caves briefed all present on the status of obtaining additional funding to complete
the City's Natural Communities Conservation Plan (NCCP) from the California Wildlife
Conservation Board and the California Coastal Conservancy. He opined that these
agencies might be willing to provide additional support from existing funds if these
agencies have assurance that they will receive additional funding sources in the future.
This comfort level relies in large part on the future of the three bond measures recently
proposed by the Governor, State Senator Perata and Assembly Member Nunez, and
whether these measures, if successful, include funding for open space acquisition,
particularly funds for the California Coastal Conservancy.
