Previously, these reports were given orally during the meeting.  The change allows more time for discussing issues of concern to more than one Board member.

Last Saturday, Feb. 7, the "Biggest anti-fracking rally in US history” in Oakland attracted over 8,000 people according to one report, including over 30 members of the Green party of California including 3 Greens from Santa Clara County.  Sandy attended the Jan. 31 People’s Movement Assembly on “Whose Constitution Is It?”.  Caroline and Sandy noted that there will be a “Health Fair”, as there was last year.  Jim Doyle reported on the sale of O’Conner Hospital, noting that the space provided for public hearings on the sale was too small;  the crowd exceeded the capacity of even the overflow space, and public comments ran until late in the evening.
