Solano EDC members and guests will have the chance to learn more and voice concerns or support for the recently enacted Delta Water Legislation when State Sen. Lois Wolk speaks at the June 30 membership networking breakfast in Fairfield, CA.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on June 3 signed legislation by Senator Lois Wolk (D-Davis) to extend a cost-sharing program that helps many local levee agencies afford necessary maintenance and improvements to levees that protect lives, farmland, and drinking water in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
“This legislation will help sustain Delta maintenance programs during this time of transition," Wolk concluded. "Until the state develops and begins to implement its plans for the Delta, the Delta Levee Program must remain in place to help provide necessary levee maintenance and improvements that protect Delta levees and the communities living and working behind them."
Mike Ammann, President of Solano EDC said this event will provide the opportunity for members not only learn more about the Delta package but also provide recommendations that can be implemented to ensure that the Delta business community remains vital economically.
The event will be held at 8:00 a.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fairfield. For reservations contact Solano EDC at 707 864-1855. Cost is $25 for EDC members and $35 for non-members.
The event is sponsored by Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health and B&L Properties and Placer Title Company.
The monthly meetings are held by the Solano EDC to bring topics of interest and concern to community, private sector and government leaders.
The monthly series is underwritten by the Solano EDC Chairman Circle Members, Solano Transportation Authority, Syar Industries, Solano Garbage Company and Republic Services, Inc.
