There was a discussion of the constuuction of the Ponds at Island <br />Lakes; that these ponds are constructd, the bottom lined with PVC, so <br />these ponds are not part of the area wetlands. <br />It was decided that Charlie and Iris would make the appropriate <br />contacts with the City to determine whether VRV had considered the <br />Slough in its construction plans. Hurt would make contact with Jim <br />Torrey, Ward 5 city councilor. <br />Charlie and Iris discussed the project for Sand - bagging a break in the <br />dike system in the Ponds on the West side of Delta Highway. This, <br />would be an inexpensive project for the city. It would also provide this <br />fledgling group an opportunity to accomplish a needed repair, rally <br />neighborhood involvement, and get some publicity. It was proposed <br />that a target date of mid- to late January for the work day would <br />provide enough time. <br />Hal Gausman mentioned the growing population of the area, and the <br />increased demand for recreational use of the ponds, hence the <br />importance of citizen input for planning and protection. <br />The Meeting adjourned at 4:00 p.m. <br />
