BSMAAC meeting 3/20 canceled

Hello Big Sur Community, 

Out of an abundance of caution, and in the interest of current affairs and concerns over Covid-10, Supervisor Adams and Congressman Panetta have cancelled the Big Sur Multi-Agency Advisory Council meeting.  Attached please find a meeting cancellation notice. I am also attaching draft minutes from the November 1, 2020 meeting and written reports that I received from the South Coast, Monterey County’s Big Sur projects status update, and Caltrans project status update.

Martha Karstens asked if I could report is that there is a CERT training starting April 18th.  It is a total of 3, 8 hour days.  May 2nd and May 9th are the other 2 days.  It will be held here in Big Sur and they still have available space.  They would love to get more people from the South Coast.
