Municipal Advisory Committee (MAC) Announces It's Arrival to Help Our Neighborhood!

You're Invited!
Our FIRST MAC Meeting
July 9, 2009
VFW Hall
6:00 P.M.

We are excited to say the least. Riverside County's Brenda Salas, Project Manager, Economic Development Agency for Riverside County is heading up a Municipal Advisory Committee (MAC) for our area! This is the best news we've had in a long time to create a forum and get assistance for the things we need, want or don't want for our neighborhood!

There's been a long list of things accumulated over the past few years, and now we'll have the forum to get things accomplished through the proper channels. The MAC includes the CSA 115 tax funds for roads and lighting -- CSA as we knew it is now a part of MAC -- with MAC taking the lead to help us get things accomplished. At our last Neighborhood Meeting we learned there's money in the CSA 115 fund appropriated for roads and lighting. Now, we'll have a forum to discuss our needs for the appropriated funds.

Here's a partial list of some of the items many of our neighbors request:

• B-BAR-H Arch "Park Area"
• Road Signs
• Stop Signs
• Speed Limit Signs
• No Dumping Signs
• Speed Bumps
• Center Divider Lines
• Barricades Where Needed
• Street Lights
• Improved Road Maintenance
• Barking Dog Help
• VFW Needs Our Help (Commander George to explain at the meeting)

A voice in how our tax dollars are spent is top priority for many of us. Do we want to spend our tax dollars on building another road into our neighbohood? Or should we use the funds to maintain the roads we currently use? These questions and other topics should be brought to the MAC for discussion on July 9th.

Here's the invitation from Brenda Salas:
You are invited to attend the first Municipal Advisory Committee (MAC) meeting on July 9, 2009, at 6:00 p.m. at the VFW Hall. See details below. Please attend. This is an important kick-off meeting.

Purpose of the MAC
5th District Municipal Advisory Councils (MAC) were formed by the direction of Supervisor Marion Ashley in order to bring government to the people. These meetings allow for community input and updates on projects happening in surrounding unincorporated areas of Riverside County. They serve as a forum to provide updates from various Riverside County departments and a venue to take back topics of importance. The purpose of the MAC is to advise, recommend proposed action, and receive reports regarding matters including, but not limited to; public safety, planning, health, transportation, parks and community development within the unincorporated territory. The MAC will also have regular updates regarding CSA 115 as this is a venue for a broader range of topics.

Please attend our first meeting. We’ll set a schedule for upcoming meetings on July 9th. We look forward to getting the entire area involved in the MAC process to create strong Community Involvement for the continued success of your neighborhood in Riverside County.

Thank you,
Brenda Salas
Project Manager
