VI Staff Concerns
Mr. Olivera stated that the June 2007 EQCB meeting would probably be cancelled due
to a lack of business items.
He then reported that Staff is currently working on the responses to comments for the
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Seal Beach Townhomes project and the
report should be complete by the beginning of July 2007. Member Barton asked which

held before the Planning Commission (PC).

VII Board Concerns
Chairperson Voce commented on the heavy smoke coming from the char broiler at
Hennessey's Tavern every day, noting that on some days it is quite heavy, and the
fumes from this can be toxic to the community. He asked if this should be allowed to
continue. He noted that this just adds to the air pollution already experienced in Seal
Beach from fumes coming from the Long Beach Harbor, and also from traffic traveling
on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). Mr. Olivera stated that AQMD does regulate this and
Staff will look into this and report back to the Board. Chairperson Voce suggested that
Staff take random readings of the density of the smoke coming from Hennessey's at
various times throughout the week to provide to the AQMD. .
Member Barton recommended that the Board move to excuse Member Hurley, as he
had indicated that he would be attending his grandchild's wedding on June 1.
There being no objections, Chairperson Voce excused Member Hurley from the
Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB) meeting of May 30,2007.
VIII Adjournment
Chairperson Voce adjourned the meeting at 6:47 p.m. to the next scheduled meeting in
July 2007, as determined by Staff.
Respectfully Submitted,
(\~~~
