SECTION I. Findings.
It is found and declared that:
(A) A proposed eleventh cycle targeted mailing, to criteria-based properties from
identified TPAs and other areas that meet program goals and criteria as shown on
attached maps, will cost approximately $600.
(B) Using estimated rates of return of positive interest generated by property owner
interest letters in previous selection cycles, it has been determined that mailing
795 interest letters will result in approximately 45 parcels for review and ranking
on the Active Acquisition List. Staff anticipates some additional number of
owner and public nominations as well.

and revised by the CCLAAC. On March 2, 2022, the CCLAAC unanimously

specifically target lands that are likely to contain high quality environmental
resources and to enlarge current land holdings.

recommend an update to the TPAs List and selection strategy to the Board of
