Supervisor Gordon calls meeting on Mavericks safety, Mon Apr 5

Supervisors Richard Gordon today invited members of the public to a meeting Monday, April 5, to discuss public safety at the Mavericks big wave surf contest.
 
The meeting is an opportunity for the public to comment on this year’s event and to provide ideas on how to improve public safety in the future.
