In a November 24, 2006 email sent to Jerry Seaver, ISDRA TRT Chairman, from Mike Pool, BLM California State Director, it was stated that all issues including new considerations regarding the management of Glamis should be funneled through the TRT. Good leadership dynamics, quality agendas and effective moderation of discussions on the part of all participants should lead to effective TRT outcomes.
As a result of this statement, with a motion and by unanimous vote during today's ISDRA TRT conference call, a sub committee for Public Safety was created. The first order of business for the ISDRA TRT Public Safety Sub Committee (PSSC) will be to continue the efforts of the re-established Comp Hill Solutions Team (CHST). ISDRA TRT Yuma County Representative Glenn Montgomery will chair the committee. |
