Dear Assembly Member Holden,
As a Council Member for the City of Diamond Bar, I am concerned that
AB 1180 does not incorporate a strong and independent oversight role into
the legislation.
While AB 1180 is specific to flood control districts, all taxpayers would have
to contribute to ensure the success of the well-meaning stormwater
program. Although it is our best interests to ensure compliance with
stormwater regulations, it is also important that we have strong and
independent oversight to make sure that we are getting what we pay for.
I thank you for your willingness to work with the business community on
your legislation, and your time to listen to my concerns on this important
matter.
Sincerely,
Nancy Lyons
Council Member
