o w r Parking at any winery event must be contained on the winery property; never should there be any overflow onto neighbor's property or the roadsides. The Good Neighbor Policy (signed by the winery owner) speaks to noise and parking, and neighbors will expect compliance. We have not developed punishment for winery infractions, but fines, reduction or revocation of permitted events all seem like possibilities at this point in our discussions. In short, the winery must be a good neighbor. The challenge will also remain in encouraging existing wineries with marketing events to voluntarily adopt this policy as well. We the WOTF group leaders, representing the 4 organizations you asked to deliver alternative solutions are working when we can through this current committee "harvest-break" to help facilitate a speedier conclusion once we reconvene in mid October. We do believe; we are making good progress, that we can improve and refine the current ordinance, address the impacts that caused the concerns of neighbors, as well as those of members of the agricultural community, winery owners, planners, Commissioners and Supervisors. We would like to give you our final report at a November meeting of the Commission. That will give us approximately one more month after the task force begins its work again in mid October. We of course will be on hand September 20`h to answer any questions you may have regarding our effort. We thank you for your patience and trusting us to be productive in this matter.
