Fog advisory. East of us, san joaquin valley. But all the way south to bakersfield. Quarter mile or less visibility, throughout much of california this morning. So of course, no high beams, keep a distance from the car in front of you. Its going to impact a lot of folks. Heres the view again. You can see the hazy conditions on the camera shot. Not as clear as what you are used to seeing. Headlines today, patchy fog this morning. Then we could get, a quarter to threequarters of an inch of rain. For the north bay especially. The storm, the first of two this week, is going to impact the north bay the most. May not even impact the south of the Golden Gate Bridge. High defer doppler highdef doppler.

But if we can put that in, it could actually prevent the water getting into our buildings anyway. So i really hope we could look at this further and meanwhile today, lets get this first stage passed. It c
Dbi. We believe these modifications reflect the needs of the affected communities and hope you will consider approving this important resolution to help Property Owners lower their risk of damage due to flooding. We have a lot of public speakers, but commissioners, any comments . Yes, i have a question and comment. So the uptake from the First Program two years ago because i remember we spent some time reviewing right, right. Has it been pretty successful . It sounds like you have done a bunch of outreach and have people really been applying for the grants . Yes. We have had several people actually going through the grant process right now. But we have run into challenges, because the flood barriers and the backflow preventers didnt necessarily meet everybodys needs. Hence, flood walls, in further meetings we decided that we can meet an awful lot more of these needs with flood walls and grade changes, perhaps plumbing changes. Different plumbing changes than the backflow preventers. If
