Below please find the draft agenda for the second MLPA BRTF meeting to be held Monday and Tuesday, January 10-11, 2005. A number of agenda items have associated briefing documents that may be of interest to you. Some of those documents will be posted to the MLPA website (www.dfg.ca.gov/mrd/mlpa) with the agenda this evening. The remaining documents will be posted as they become available in the next few days.
The BRTF members will be meeting in Long Beach, but they will also be connected to Arcata, Sacramento, Santa Cruz and San Luis Obispo by video teleconferencing. More details about those specific sites will be available on the MLPA website this evening. The video conference sites will be interactive; those wishing to provide public comment during the task force meeting may do so without traveling to Long Beach.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. With regards,
