How can we build a template for a wor k plan that can be utilized by community members? With so many aspects and issues to water quality\, where do we focus our work?\n3. Some of the fol lowing points were made:\na. Community members should focus on providing p ublic comments during opportunities especially when plans and policies for water quality are being considered and especially at the state and county level.\nb. This needs to be communicated to the larger community so we ca n inform fellow citizens and build community knowledge and engagement.\nc. As community members we need to be able to review consultant reports prep ared by consultants at the county and state level pertaining to water qual ity to assess how data is being used to make decisions.\nd. We need to foc us on a specific area of impact—not limiting ourselves to geographical r egions but looking at our watersheds as a whole ecosystem and advocate for appropriate measures.\ne. We need to structure meetings so that they are divided between working on these issues and calling upon experts when nece ssary to help our understanding.\n\nTo view agenda and minutes\, visit our  board website.\n\nEvent shows physical location\; however\, other option s of participation may also include WebEx and phone.  If available\, inst ructions for WebEx and phone can be found at the top of the agenda.
