Show up and speak up for the Parkway prior to decision-making!
Meeting Details:
Agenda Item 5(A) consists of three informational presentations to the project decision-makers, Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB), regarding the American River Common Features project, including Contract 3B.
The project vote will not take place at this meeting, so your presence and voice are crucial for impacting forthcoming decisions!
Agenda Item 5(A) is estimated to begin as early as 9:15am.
The Board confirmed that 5(A) presentations are anticipated to last only about an hour, but could be longer or shorter depending on several factors. The president may call for a break at some point.
After presentations and Board questions will be a public comment session in which members of the public can provide spoken comments.
Each speaker is limited to 3 minutes.
The Board confirmed that all speakers will be heard.
Please consider commenting! Whether you plan to speak or not, please submit your written comment to the Board: Jonah.Knapp@cvflood.ca.gov

American River Trees (ART) will provide public comments that address critical project concerns and rebuttals to statements made at the May 23 Board meeting that we believed to be inaccurate and/or refutable.
You may leave after the public comment session concludes, if you wish.
