Please read the following knowing I am not writing to rouse emotion or to blame anyone. I just want to make all aware.

For the first time in 10 years the “Palisades Wash” had a significant amount of runoff come through in the last few days. ?Not since the summer of 2011 (the year of the Montezuma Fire) have we gotten as much runoff than in the past week to my memory.

Our roads need attention, they are slowly falling apart.

Some of you know that I walk the roads almost daily. ?I was concerned previously but I have seen more damage to the understructure of the road base in the last week. ?If we do not act fairly soon our roads will become islands of chip seal surrounded by bare dirt, or even worse, ruts that we will not want to drive through.

I know the Board has been discussing?maintenance plans but in my opinion we must act soon.
