She said there is currently 80% <br />natural flow. She said that the rivers by the City could use mitigation more than County <br />rivers. <br /> <br /> Ms. Betty Mooney, 201 Sunset Avenue, said it is a myth that the Ragged <br />Mountain dam could collapse with catastrophic results. She asked how much of the <br />water plan is about County growth. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said when Kevin Lynch was on Council he felt strongly that mitigation <br />should include City water, but the regulators said over and over that the same type of <br />stream needed to be mitigated as what was impacted. <br /> <br /> The meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />______________________________ ______________________________ <br />President Clerk <br />
