Dock Permitting to be Discussed at Next KGI Meeting

Gregg May has confirmed for May 19th to talk about his experiences with the Shorelines Hearing Board regarding dock construction in Arletta. The particular dock project he will be speaking on has been before just about every decision making examiner, board, or court possible with a surprising diversity of results. This should serve as a good primer on the complexity of legal issues surrounding shoreline development.

Website Update

The KGI website has new stuff on it! I've added our latest newsletter and the 5-Year Action Agenda. I'm still working on updating our Upcoming Events section. There are so many things happening, I can only hope I'll have time to finish the updates before they've all passed.

Also, I would like to put in a plug for the book Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations by David Montgomery. UW Professor Montgomery has graciously agreed to host our book club discussion of Dirt this summer. Thank you to Liz for suggesting the book!

Good News!

I've just received word from the Washington State Department of Ecology that another round of funding for the Pierce County Septic Repair Grant and Loan Program has been approved!
