Maintaining this Agreement will allow the County to continue the direction of the Board from May 15, 2012 to prepare analysis to support the eventual preparation of an application for a Section 2081 Permit under the California Endangered Species Act and an agreement with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to comply with the Native Plant Protection Act.
