This new reconstituted committee is an attempt to satisfy the responsibility set – y, forth in Measure K. I also know there are many varying interests in the county and it is my 'ND THE i.011NTY <:II': objective to reach a uniform agreement amongst all entities as we move forward to the re - ,A\ IU iQLIN authorization of Measure K. It is my hope that you will participate in the RTIF Committee proceedings if only to voice your perspective. Attached please find a "to date" listing of members. Your absence from these meetings may constitute a perceived boycott which feel will be very detrimental to the regional concerns we all face. I hope to await a favorable response to my request. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Warmest regards, Gary S.
