PUBLIC COMMENT Bob Crockford, 7189 Walnut Canyon Road, Moorpark, representing Moorpark Community Alliance, expressed concern regarding methods used by various County committees and boards in notifying public of matters pending, suggesting there must be a better way of making the public aware of what is happening in Moorpark. After discussion it was agreed that agendas of official meetings and notices of hearings would be placed in the enclosed glass case on the outside of the Community Center building, if possible, and that in addition, such agendas and notices would be posted in the library, if there is a bulletin board that can be used.
