really needs to be done this year. Mike committed to him that we would take <br /> another look at it and would try to minimize the cleaning. <br /> Randy suggested that with 4 to 6 weeks lead time, he could mobilize some <br /> volunteers to remove the sediment. Les said Bob has some concerns about <br /> whether that approach will work. <br /> Please call if you have any questions about this, or need any assistance from <br /> here. Randy mentioned several times that he wants to work with staff, and <br /> he doesn't want this issue to take on the tone of "change what you're doing <br /> because a Council member is involved." In addition to his interest in <br /> restoring the channel , he is very concerned that he may have unintentionally <br /> misled the residents he is in contact with. <br /> Thanks, Linda <br />
