(E) Advise the legislative body of the city or county of the terms, provisions, and conditions for project approval which have been agreed upon by the committee and the proponent, and of any additional information which the committee deems appropriate. The legislative body of the city or county may use this advice for its independent consideration of the project. Section 25199 .7 (d) ( 2) (A) of the Health & Safety Code requires the Committee to negotiate with the proponent concerning "detailed terms of. . .project approval.

Finally, subsection (E) requires that you advise the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors of the conditions upon which you have agreed. It also authorizes the Committee to provide as additional information any conditions which they feel would be appropriate, but to which the Project Sponsor has refused to agree. The Committee has requested to be provided with all comments to the Draft Environmental Impact Report. On behalf of the Farm Bureau, we submitted supplemental comments to the Draft Environmental Impact Report. These comments were dated June 2 , 1989 . Many of them specifically dealt with the inconsistencies between the Environmental Impact Report and the LAC Committee condition responses by the Project Sponsors and the consultant. The Department of Health Services has issued a Draft Series A Permit, and this Draft was supposed to be available for public 2
