The intent of the Legislature in appropriating these funds is for the Board to provide an equitable geographic distribution of the funds. Towards this end, the ARB will conduct a public meeting to educate stakeholders on possible changes in the allocation and distribution process and solicit comment. This public meeting has been tentatively scheduled for the afternoon of November 14, 2005, from 1:30 pm until 4:30 pm. The meeting is tentatively scheduled to take place in Sacramento in the Coastal Hearing Room at the Cal/EPA headquarters building, 1001 I Street. A public meeting notice will soon follow confirming the meeting date and time.
