VII. COMMISSIONER ITEMS
A. Commissioner Mouriquand provided information on Senate Bill 1828. She
explained that procedures are being considered which would have to be
adopted by this Commission and ultimately the City Council, and could
change the processing time for cases, adding up to 60 days. It may
necessitate consultation with local tribes, and could extend the area of
concern around sacred sites from one mile to 20 miles. As written, it
may also give tribes the potential to prevent projects from developing if
they are unsatisfied with mitigation measures.
B. Commissioner Mouriquand invited the Commission and staff to attend an
informal meeting of the Colorado Desert Region Cultural Resource
Managers on Friday, Oct. 2, 2002. The agenda will consist of
presentations and discussion, with a goal of networking, education and
