The

presented a PowerPoint that summarized recommendations in the Tactical
Plan. During the committee discussion,
the following comments were made. (1) The Los Padres Dam should remain in
place, none of the consultant’s recommendations should be considered. (2) The Water Management District should
purchase the Los Padres Dam. (3) Recommend
items 1, 2 and 3A as outlined in the PowerPoint presented by Larry
Hampson. (4) Third option would be
removal of Los Padres Dam without additional storage. (5) Next steps must
include either doing nothing or acquisition of Los Padres Dam. (6) An IFIM study and a GIS flow model must
be completed in order to model the Carmel river with and without the Los
Padres Dam. (7) The public will not support construction of an off-stream
dam. George
Riley addressed the committee during the public comment period on this
item. He advised that common
terminology should be used in the descriptions and comparisons of
