The City Council on July 16, 2008, approved a motion directing City staff to assess the project’s impacts on the local community, and to present their findings and comments to the Council for its consideration before public comments are due to the County Regional Planning Commission on August 19, 2008.

The motion introduced by Councilman Bernard Parks also directs the City Attorney to report to the Council on options that the City may have to request a moratorium on expansion of oil drilling because of the impacts on local residents.
