He spoke to a public works employee of State parks and was told it was in a budget request for a replacement at that site. Bob Volunteered to draft a letter to State Parks to allocated funding to relocate the sewer line to the east side of Haul rd., from Laguna Pt. Camp Ground to the sewerage pump station south of the Virgin Creek bridge.

Open Discussion - (Making Waves) Bob stated that the magazine has our name listed incorrectly. It should say, Mendocino County, instead of Mendocino. Jackie will call the editor to have it corrected.
