Re: Urban Reforestation/Pinole Creek/
Department of Water Resource Grant
Dear Honorable Tom Torlakson:
This year a group of environmentally conscious individuals
of the City of Pinole, along with the Pinole Garden Club,
is looking. forward to reforesting a portion of Pinole
Creek/Flood Control Channel. The activity will take place
during EARTHDAY week (April 22, 1990) .
We are presently in the process of devising the necessary
plan . I have already discussed this matter with
Mr. Allen Finley/Flood Control District. We plan to apply
for an Urban Streams Restoration Grant, sponsored by the
Department of Water Resources. Possibly, we may be able to
get a grant from the Department of Forestry?.
I herein request enthusiastic and aggressive cooperation
.from the Board of Supervisors and the Flood Control
District to help us accomplish our goals. The Grant must
be submitted to the Department Resources by
January 31, 1990.
I herein request that the Flood Control District work
closely with the Pinole Garden Club and other volunteers to
obtain a grant from the Department of Water Resources . In
fact, the County of Contra Costa/Flood Control District
will need to pass a resolution of support as a public
agency co- sponsor and perhaps ( ? ) assume the
responsibilities of administrators of the Grant.
I am 'looking forward to your prompt response.
a
Very sincerely,
oseph R. ariotti, M.D.
