Volume 12
Issue 38
Army Base The Steering Committee is working with staff to contract with a planner to help develop design guidelines for the Army Base. This is the first step in embarking on developing a plan for the Army Base so that the RVERS project can begin to move forward in a higher gear. As always, the issue is funding, both for the city to develop a plan and for the state and federal agencies to begin the actual design process. The city will be looking for grants and possible a federal appropriation to move this process forward. Business Park The city is still working

to settle the issue of the deed restriction on the Business Park so we can sell the land. Right now, we have an appraiser working with the Central Valley Flood Protection Board staff to identify just what needs to be appraised so we can move forward with putting this issue on an agenda for a Board decision. I had been hoping we would have a hearing before the end of 2010, but apparently it is not to be. State wheels turn exceedingly slow sometimes. Boat Dock It is unfortunate that we are not going to have the dock repaired before Bass Festival. We are obtaining bids to do a repair so that it

can be used while we find funding and go through the approval process to build a new dock. State Land Commission has said that a new dock must be ADA accessible, which requires moving the dock further into the river, a much more expensive proposition than simply replacing it where it sits. The repair that is needed so the dock can be used requires replacing the flotation, which is not a job that volunteers can do. National Heritage Area The Delta Protection Commission is required to do a feasibility study on establishing a National Heritage Area in the Delta. There will be a public workshop on October 6, from 6:30 to 9:00 PM at DH White School. You will have the opportunity to hear of the ideas and to participate in small group discussions.

Senior Center Needs You Please help the Senior Center. The city of Rio Vista (Mr. Delarosa ) is trying to charge the seniors $300.00 per month for the utilities. The board of directors can not afford this.
Many other vendors use the Senior center including the City and have not been requested to help pay for the utilities. The city Also has stopped paying for the monthly pest
control. The Seniors are now paying for this. Food is served Monday through Friday by Meals on Wheels so pest control is absolutely necessary. The senior center has had some leaks in the roof and the front door and the city has not, and will not fix the door. Please help us by bringing some type of sweet or donation on Friday October 8th; from 10:30 to 3Pt to the Senior Center. Also on Saturday Morning also Between 8AM to the
Senior Center to be sold on Saturday of The Bass Festival. If you are un-
