- Make recommendations on negotiations
- Review, comment and recommend land stewardship plans and activities
- Recommend other general management items to the BOCC
CLASAC
meetings are open to the public. All members of the public are welcome and encouraged to attend. Audio recordings and minutes from each meeting are posted online on the
Meeting Archive page.
