EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT
	11			The Commission was given a report of the staff’s activities for the period of April 22 through May 17, 2013 and was verbally updated on recent events relevant to the Commission. Staff reported that the first of several shared services public outreach meetings for the Yolo County Animal Services (YCAS) was held April 29th. Staff was asked by Chair Woods to inform the Commission that there have been some recent updates regarding the Dunnigan Specific Plan (Plan). The applicant submitted three to four of the draft sections of the Plan to County staff. The Plan updates, which have already been presented to the Planning Commission, will be heard at the June 4, 2013 Board of Supervisors meeting. LAFCo staff was directed to attend the meeting and report back to the Commission at its next meeting. Additionally, staff updated the Commission on the Yolo Leaders Forum held May 22nd entitled Yolo Broadband Coalition. A need was identified in the community to form a coalition to advance broadband issues in the County and to possibly hire a consultant to prepare a plan of what assets the County has and where there may be gaps so that, collectively as a County, there can be more effective lobbying for the County’s needs and potentially getting grant funding. It was suggested during the Forum that LAFCo might step up to take the lead on the countywide broadband issue as part of its Shared Services Program. Staff was directed to meet with the County’s Administrative Officer and City Managers to discuss LAFCos potential involvement with countywide broadband issues and the County and cities commitment if any to funding the project under the Shared Services Program; create an inventory of countywide broadband including any gaps there may be; implement a 90-120 day plan of action for next steps; and, present preliminary timeline at the next Commission meeting.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
	12			Commissioners Kristoff and Woods complimented staff on the new format of the Agenda, including tabs for each item, which makes it a little easier for viewing. Commissioner Davies reported that the cities of Woodland and Davis, with Commissioner Saylor’s assistance, testified both at the Senate and Assembly Budget Sub-Committees to receive matching funds for the water intake of the Woodland-Davis Clean Water Agency. It was successful in both sub-committees and resources were identified for the requested amount. It has now moved forward to the Governor for his decision.
ADJOURNMENT
	13			Minute Order 2013-22: By order of the Chair, the meeting was adjourned at 10:10 a.m. to the next regular meeting on June 27, 2013.
