ESTABLISH QUORUM AND CALL TO ORDER
SUMMARY OF CLOSED SESSION ITEMS - The Mayor read a summary of the Closed
Session items.
CLOSED SESSION PUBLIC COMMENTS - Mayor Irons opened the meeting for Public
Comment.
Bill Martoney spoke on the potential Hayashi litigation. He asked if George Nagano was
involved in this or not as he is “quasi” representing the Naganos. With regards to nitrates, there
are nitrate markers which need to be determined to be human sewage or farming/ag sewage. If
the City comes after the farmers for water rights, we have to realize their water rights are
superior to the City’s. And farming behind Morro Bay has been going on forever; we might be
getting false readings due to snow pea farming.
The public comment period was closed.
