Board endorses Plan #1 for Rodgers Ranch orchard, sets one-month timeline for land prep
Summary
After a map presentation by Tony Rosiles, the board and staff favored Plan #1 for orchard/garden placement at Rodgers Ranch; attendees voted informally 7–2 in favor and the board set a one-month target for irrigation and land preparation decisions.
Tony Rosiles presented a multi-page map showing possible orchard and garden locations and options for parking and chicken placement. The board discussed biosecurity concerns — specifically that chickens should not be on orchard ground within 90 days of harvest — and considered two candidate layouts. Staff and board members debated parking and the suitability of two orchard sites for "you-pick" events and agricultural labs.
President Tony Turri asked for a show of hands on preferred layout; the informal count was 7 in favor and 2 opposed for Plan #1. Turri said the board needs to decide irrigation and land preparation within one month so the ranch can proceed to leveling and planting.
