another two or more years. Flood Control projects like
this instance refer to acc~diring rights of way, build-
inG bridges, etc. and the money for these expenditures
is refunded to the Flood Control from the State.
Approach to the Flood Control should be made to start
the ball rolling and we need a District plan in this

in the budget for the survey, then the wheels start
turning.

see what can be worked out~with the Flood Control -
possibly the use of tractors and other equipment to work
on our own spreading Grounds. If money is involved, the
matter will need to come before theBoard.

Manager is authorized to negotiate with the County Flood
Control for the spreading of the water.
