Commissioners unsure about attending
meeting
Brown: Water
stakeholders may be under confidentiality
agreement
Commissioner Bill Brown could attend a meeting in Sacramento next week about the Klamath Basin water settlement agreement, and it was still unclear whether Commissioner John Elliott, the county’s regular liaison to the agreement, will attend.
Stakeholders from groups representing irrigation, fishing, tribal and governmental institutes have met regularly for years and developed the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement to address water issues in the Basin.
The agreement, among other conditions, calls for removal of four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River. Government off icials and representatives of PacifiCorp, the dams’ owner, signed a tentative agreement in November to move toward dam removal.
Brown said Tuesday that a lack of attention to those with concerns about dam removal and other aspects of the settlement agreement motivated him to consider attending.
He said he may not go because stakeholders involved could still be under a confidentiality agreement, meaning he wouldn’t be able to share any information with the public he learned from attending.
Elliott said Tuesday that he planned to attend, but Brown told the Herald and News he heard Elliott canceled the trip.
A call to Elliott requesting comment was not returned.
