Discussion - Road Grating in North Los Barriles

a. Arroyo grading: Thanks to all who responded and are willing to contribute to the grading of the 2 arroyos. We have "commitments for about 2/3 of the cost so far. Someone emailed and was concerned about "the legality" of us taking on the job of grading the roads (since they are government property). I have spoken to the mayor and he assured that what we are attempting to do is OK and said anyone concerned can call him directly to verify he is OK with it. I also listed my Baja mobile number incorrectly in the initial posting and the correct number is 624-155-7548. Email was correct lciuffitelli@hlccapital.com  . Thanks again, Larry Ciuffitelli
