requesting the Board to authorize the Community
Development Department to proceed with all necessary
activities to amend the Contra Costa County General Plan

Supervisor Schroder absented himself from participating in the
discussion and decision on the requests because of a possible
conflict of interest concerning an insurance client.

ment, spoke on the general policy of his Department to begin the

as it pertains to the areas where these landfills are being pro-
posed.
