GreeƟngs Brandon.
Again, thank you for the copy of the Environmental JusƟce Element Policy. I reviewed the pages and found a couple items in the text that are not complete if the policy is to be "current" when approved.
1. Page 9-45 Ozone, second paragraph. "California Air Resource Board maintains a network of air monitoring staƟons, one of which is in Visalia, on North Church." Currently, North Church is no longer uƟlized but now there is one on W.
Ashland - sƟll operated by CARB.
2. Figure 9-22, page 9-63.
There is a SaveMart Grocery Store at the corner of Walnut and Akers which is not idenƟfied or pined on the map.
3. Page 9-83, Community Centers
You are missing the Emmanual Hernandez Community Center, 247 W. Ferguson Ave.- a really acƟve one. It is located in the Oval Park Neighborhood of Focus.
4. Page 9-82 Under Police StaƟons
Every Ɵme I go to the 204 NW Third Police StaƟon it is closed. Has it been opened recently?
I now have completed a summary of the content and am planning to look at all the proposed ObjecƟves and Policies for the Environmental JusƟce porƟon of the General Plan.
This is a very thorough review of the PolluƟon Sources and PopulaƟon CharacterisƟcs of each Focus area. I am very familiar with the CalEnvironScreen 4.0. Such hard work went into this program. You should be proud of the work you and others have done over the last year.
In appreciaƟon,
