Last week, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors entertained a resolution that would renege on the board’s previous support for dam removal projects in the Potter Valley, where PG&E is in the process of decommissioning the Scott and Cape Horn dams. The resolution was ultimately rejected in favor of an alternative … under which “Mendocino County Board of Supervisors reaffirms the County of Mendocino’s support for the two co-equal goals of the Two Basin Solution, IWPC, ERPA, and the Water Diversion Agreement.” However, due to stipulations of the Brown Act, that resolution, which wasn’t included on the agenda 72 hours in advance of the meeting, must be voted on at a future meeting.
