Hello All,
I am wondering why there has been no word to the public via e-mail about the Lehigh meeting
Joe Simitian's scheduled meeting on April 26 at 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm is this meeting still
taking place? This is the annual meeting with all the agencies and Lehigh open to the public.
I also wonder how the meeting will be conducted: will the public write their questions down
on a card and submit them for Joe Simitian to read them off to the agencies. It would be nice
to have
an open forum, something I have wanted for too many years to count. The land acquisition is
another question of interest and the public has a right to know what the county will do to
acquire the property from Lehigh. Has Lehigh been approached about such an acquisition last
word I had from Lehigh was no they have not. Santa Clara county has mentioned to me from a
staff person that the land is too expensive but I wonder how much is it worth that it is too
expensive? These questions need answers.
Well please get back to me and the public with a public notice for all of Santa Clara County to
be included in this meeting. I also understood that someone from Ro Kahnna's office may
attend this meeting. I could be wrong.
I have many questions that go unanswered and that is not doing justice to the public who
needs the latest information on Lehigh. One of the main questions is when will the new
reclamation plan be submitted by Lehigh for the public to read and comment on?
I have included others in this e-mail message so that they can also get the word out and be
ready to ask their own questions.
Well please get back to me.
