The Committee received the report, and approved the letter being brought to the Board of Supervisors with the following changes:

- The following copies are to be added; Contra Costa State and Federal Delegation, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (ConFire), San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, East Contra Costa Fire Protection District, and the Moraga-Orinda Fire Protection District.
The Committee directed Health Services staff and Committee staff to work together to obtain a copy of the after-action report from the 2004 South Broadway Kinder Morgan pipeline explosion.
The Committee directed Public Works staff to give a status report at the April TWIC meeting and to follow up with CAL FIRE if they have not received a response by April 2014.
Don Mount with the Colony Park Neighbors Association discussed that Kinder Morgan attended a Colony Park meeting several years ago. He also provided comments suggesting that the after-action report from the 2004 South Broadway might be instructive. He has requested a copy but did not receive it. |
