It's 4:20 on Monday, it's hard to imagine it was a week ago when all this started.  We have had quite a setback today.  Cal Trans, despite our positive meeting on Friday has informed me that after
meetings in Sacramento, they have denied our request for a restricted use runway.  I think they will allow limited departures, but I have yet to see the official letter from them.  The one thing
they made clear was that they would not let us open for arrivals until we could come up with 2000 feet of runway with all of the appropriate safety zones.  Without substantial work, we can not
comply with that.

I am working as hard as I can to change this.  We have calls into our representatives and the  AOPA.  The City Manager is working on our behalf and I have spoken to Ginger Gherardi who is going to
be in Sacramento tomorrow and speak to the head of Cal Trans.

I will keep all of you up to date on any new developments.

If the Fish and Game allowed us to put a bulldozer in the riverbed when
it was dry and allowed us to push OUR dirt back over on OUR side
the river this would have never happened. They should pay to fix it.
