Hello, folks, Park Lightbowen here, asking you to join our fight to reduce the effects of the latest environmental phenomenon, commonly known as 'The Load Zone Effect ". Yes folks, due to the disastrously high morbid obesity rate in America, we have reports of huge indentations in American soil, throughout the country. These massive divots have resulted in rising sea levels, as we are literally lowering the level of the earth. Help us to alleviate the strain by sending less than a dollar a day, only $28.00 a month, to Load Zone Relief California. LZRC will provide much needed, highly processed meals to our calorically challenged friends in Hong Kong, Beijing, and across the mainland China. Operators are standing by, folks, help us help you. Your aid will purchase meals from the likes of Taco Bell China, McDonald franchises in the Great Wall area, Arby's, and more. Increasing the weight among those in the Far East will even out the load that Planet out has to bear. So remember folks, as you celebrate Earth Day in April, be sure to remember the Load Zone right here in the U
S of A. Thank you, and may God bless America !!!!!!! ( Brought to you by Girth and Mirth Productions 2024 )

Mayor Sedgely and Council Members,
We wish to applaud you and your staff on the proposed set aside of moneys to support an update to the Downtown Specific Plan and, we hope, for some updating to the Oxbow District portions of the DTSP. These efforts were envisioned by many of us in the GPAC and were incorporated into the new General Plan as Goals and Policies.
We will be unable to join you this afternoon as we need to help with granddaughters. But we do want to acknowledge and support your efforts.
Thank you all,
Chuck and Felicia Shinnamon
