[Grovenet] Community Garden

[Walt Wentz]

Hello, all:
Deborah Delfs of WSC Insurance has given me a quote for liability  
insurance of $500 for the entire year-- a bit less expensive than  
anticipated, with the added benefit that we would not have to renew  
for six-month periods. This would cover both the Garden and the City  
for general liability.
I'm still waiting for information on water usage for the past couple  
of years, which would give us a beginning figure for that expense,  
but at present I have enough to write out a plan to submit to the City.

Mike Federman has dug out a couple of names in the BPA hierarchy who  
can hopefully give us some information on the scope of BPA's plans  
for the substation area:
Janet Lonneker, magager of FG L&P, may be the appropriate person to  
contact these people.

I still think it would be useful to continue our meetings, to keep us  
all up to speed on the project and solicit changes to the paperwork i  
will pass around on the mailing list.
Since two people have said they can't do Fridays, i propose we try  
again for Thursday, March 26, at my place (1817 17th Avenue), 7 p.m.  
I've got a short item in to the News-Times with that date.
Until then, keep digging, keep reporting, and hopefully we'll be able  
to press our case again at the next City Council meeting, which is on  
the 30th i believe.
Regards,
Walt Wentz
