Same ORAC relicensing discussion/voting meeting, but this article (reporter) provides additional verbal interchanges.
=== Article clips: (emphasis mine) "With many unknowns following the spillway crisis — like what caused it in the first place – some signatories of the settlement agreement are having cold feet about DWR continuing to operate the dam, leaving the organization on the defensive. Things got a little heated Friday as DWR tried to convince the Oroville Recreation Advisory Committee, or ORAC, to not request a delay in the relicensing of the Oroville Dam."

With many unknowns following the spillway crisis — like what caused it in the first place – some signatories of the settlement agreement are having cold feet about DWR continuing to operate the dam, leaving the organization on the defensive. Things got a little heated Friday as DWR tried to convince the Oroville Recreation Advisory Committee, or ORAC, to not request a delay in the relicensing of the Oroville Dam.

“You’re all afraid people might wake up and say ‘Wow, we got the short end of this stick,’” Connelly said.
At that point, Anna West, a public relations person contracted by DWR and facilitator of the meeting, asked committee members to lower their voices and not interrupt each other.

Perhaps some of the people at that meeting have been following this thread...
=== Article clip: "Paradise >> A letter asking to delay relicensing of Oroville Dam to the Department of Water Resources has gained two more signees."
"The Butte County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to be included. The town of Paradise will be signing the letter as well."
"In a letter to the Oroville Recreation Advisory Committee, Paradise Mayor Scott Lotter said, “Even after repairs have been completed, and infrastructure rebuilt, the safety of the dam and the lake itself remain in question for many who would choose to recreate on Lake Oroville.”
