BACKGROUND On June 7, 1983, the Board of Supervisors approved a report from the Water Committee urging the restoration of Little Frank's Tract and obtaining a natural preserve designation for Little Frank ' s Tract. Little Frank ' s Tract is part of Frank's Tract State Recreational Area which was flooded during the severe weather of the winter of 1982-1983. The area is extremely well suited to function as a natural area if it were restored. The State Department of Parks and Recreation has applied to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to repair and restore the island. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has denied the request for funding. The State Department of Parks and Recreation has not yet appealed the decision. A meeting has been set for February 8, 1984, with area legislators, appropriate State agencies, and local interests to discuss both Frank's Tract and Little Frank's Tract. It is appropriate for the Board of Supervisors to reaffirm their support for restoration of Little Frank's Tract and also encourage the State Department of Parks and Recreation to appeal the denial of funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
