Gaby and Artist thanks for bringing up the stale water issue. I've created another post just to compile reactions to that issue. Thanks to everyone who is participating in this community BLOG. More and more issues keep coming up. For the recent bloggers if you woudn't mind, please send your email addresses to me so that I can add them to my distribution list. Every so often I'll send out emails regarding potential items of interest on the city council agenda or events in the community. Thank you candidates for commenting on issues and supplying your telephone numbers and email addresses to our friends.

Please everyone lets remember the purpose of this BLOG site. It's to gather information regarding the city of Lathrop. Everyone posting items does so because they see a need. Lets not turn this into a medium to push an individual idea or to shout down someone else. Don't turn this into a political bashing forum. Each candidate can and will defend their positions in the October "Meet the Candidate Night". Our community needs to work together to make it a better place for everyone.

Good News from the city council meeting. Waste Water Treatment Plant #1 will be authorized to go on line this Friday. It needs 40,000 gallons of waste water before it can actually be used to process anything. The level available is about 35,000 gallons. As soon as a sustainable level of 40K gallons is reached it will be turned on.

In regards to the question of where things go after they end up in the gutter. The city has a plan that was updated approximately 6 months ago. Included in the plan were the guidelines pertaining to gutters and where things end up. I'll follow up at the next council meeting and see where we stand with getting the information out and drains marked.

I need your input. I have asked the candidates to refrain from putting campaign info on the BLOG until Sep 23. At which time you can ask them questions and they will repond. If you are against this idea let me know via the BLOG. I want the BLOG to meet the needs of the citizens, if at this time we need to go polical we can. Looking forward to hearing from you on this.

Just in case everyone is wondering where all of the comments have gone. I'm trying to reduce the number of comments that you have to cycle through to get to the new ones. Before deleting them I made a record just in case someone wants to refer to one.
