Board of Supervisors to Consider Mitigated Negative Declaration for Cascade Canyon Project

At the meeting, the Board of Supervisors will consider a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Cascade Canyon project.

Details about this meeting will be provided next Tuesday on the Board of Supervisors meeting page online.

Don't Forget to Clean Your Gutters

Clearing gutters and removing debris from waterways on your property will protect your home and property from water damage and flooding. Property owners should inspect and maintain their gutters and creek portions, including clearing debris, vegetation, or other blockages that could hinder water flow. 



You can check your parcel maps for water flow information. Learn more about maintaining creeks and drainage systems on your property.

Sandbags Available

The Department of Public Works provides sand, shovels and bags for use by residents to prepare for rain and storms. DPW asks that the material be used for the private use of residents only. The pile is off of Bank Street and Elsie next to the skate park.
