Two of the most important issues affecting life in the unincorporated Midcoast are the overdue update of the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and the groundwater situation. Both of these issues will be addressed at the June 10 meeting of the Midcoast Community Council (MCC). There will be two guest speakers: a staff member from the California Coastal Commission (CCC), and the County’s long range planner.
The meeting agenda is available on the “Agendas” page on the MCC’s web site. Links to the CCC staff report and to the just-released Groundwater Study are on the “LCP Update” page.

Coastsiders in support of off-leash dogs, Mar 8 4:45pm, Michael Yolken — Hey Coastsiders, Did you know that there are approximately 77,500,000 dogs in the USA representing 39% of all US households (12-30-2009 Humane Society)? I’m glad to see people taking the time to comment on the always contentious issue of off ...
