Committee sets 10‑day deadline to confirm SpringDown broom cleanup sites
Summary
Faced with a shortage of sites and volunteers for the SpringDown broom‑removal event, the Conservation Committee tasked its subcommittee to seek more sites and agreed the event will be canceled if a workable number of sites cannot be found within 10 days.
The Portola Valley Conservation Committee adopted a short deadline to resolve site shortages for the SpringDown broom cleanup: the subcommittee will look for additional sites and will cancel the event if a workable number of locations cannot be confirmed within 10 days.
Chair introduced the problem: the committee had solicited volunteers and sites but had not secured enough broom sites and resources. After discussion, the chair proposed a 10‑day window to finalize the decision. Chair said, "Let's make it 10 days." A motion to have the subcommittee investigate and cancel the event within that window if necessary was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the motion passed but does not record a roll‑call tally.
The action directs the subcommittee to continue outreach to potential partners (scouts and community volunteers were mentioned) and to report back within 10 days so the event can be canceled in time to avoid unnecessary commitments.
