As a long-time citizen activist and a firm believer in the proven value of well informed public involvement in governmental decision-making, may I please urge denial of this permit consolidation proposal at this time.  The two advisory committees who are currently knowledgeable about this proposal have failed to recommend approval of this major change and expenditure.  Please provide for a much more informed public process before making your final decision.

Thank you for your consideration.
