The committee <br />concurred with this arrangement, the LMCD executive <br />director to confirm Osgood's participation in a <br />confirming letter.

LMCD's role is with wetlands below the 929.4' <br />OHW, and it does recognize cities and MCWD have their <br />wetland data. Kelly questioned the two types, wetlands <br />above 929.4' OHW, which are the responsibility of cities <br />and agencies, and wetlands below the 929.4' OHW.
