Among the few things that we truly fear in the San Lorenzo Valley are mountain lions, flooding, earth quakes, and fires.  When a state entity institutes a program to help combat one of them, it should make sense that it would be whole-heartedly embraced.  However, that has not been the case for Cal Fire’s Fire Prevention “Fee” that was first levied upon Valley home-owners in 2012.  Come October 10th we will be paying our second round of fees.

    The Lompico County Water District will be holding a Public Hearing to discuss the proposed rate increase. These hearings are a mere formality. Nothing discussed will change the minds of the Board of Directors. The only avenue available to those in opposition to the rate increase is to send a letter, directly to the Lompico County Water District office, stating your opposition to the rate increase. If 255 letters are received representing a majority of the meter holders, (simply being a voter is not enough) in opposition to the rate increase it will be blocked. Otherwise, the Board of Directors will pass the rate increase with a simple majority vote.

The Felton Historic Covered Bridge Park needs standard restrooms! The existing two, one person use “portable” little boxes are totally inadequate.
