Farm
:

to contact the LCRC to have “no overnight parking” signs installed.

McCracken Case:
Bob Hanvey said the date is still pending.
Finalization Procedures:
Bob Hanvey said Mr. Boss called regarding
Jesse Drive
. He received a letter from
Chris
Donajkowski of OHM that said

will ask Chris Donajkowski to send a letter to
