06. 12 Aug. David McKee to determine whether CoF tractors and riggers could be used for lifting vehicles, etc., from PC. 24 Sep UPDATE: 2 vehicles were deemed too far out for the crane on hand to lift safely. Southwest Rigging will have to bring their largest crane. This will require some funds to cover costs, estimated at $800. David to contact Suprvr Deb Hill's office. Nov 05 UPDATE: Southwest found a timeslot, and pulled the last two hulks! David McKee submitted a Community Funds Grant request to Coco County. Dec 05 UPDATE: Coco County provided full funding for the final lifts! Thank you ,Supervisor Hill. Status: CLOSED.
07. 12 Aug. David McKee to check, through his contacts, on whether Cinder Hills might donate a few cubic yards of fine cinders to fill mudbogs along the access road. (To prevent road expansion. Volunteers would spread.) Status: Preliminary outcome is that the CoF may provide gravels as part of another project. 25 Aug Update: Surplus gravels were dumped at the desired locations last week by CoF crews. Closed. 26 Aug Update: Reopened. Only some material donated. More donation would be needed to fill mudbogs, although they are nearly dry now. 20 Oct UPDATE: Not likely to be part of Cleanup event. Status: OPEN.
18. 15 Aug. Scott Harger to contact Wade Albrecht about seeking herbicide applicator to help with possible Camelthorn eradication. May come back to the County if they have a contract with a qualified applicator. 25 Aug Status: Open.

Also to solicit support at the SFPWMA meeting on Friday, 1 Sep. Also, re-examined these plants and determined it to be Camelthorn, not Russian Olive. These will not lend themselves to pulling or pruning, and will need spraying. May not remain a volunteer level activity. 2 Sep UPDATE:
strong>David McKee to check if a CoF employee certified herbicide applicator would volunteer to lead a volunteer Crew. If so, Al Hendricks has herbicide on hand and would make it available for the Camelthorn colonies. May still need a sprayer. 7 Oct UPDATE: Still open. 20 Oct UPDATE: Not likely to be part of Event. Nov 05 UPDATE: An inspection walk with CNF specialist Lara Moser revealed that the suspect Camelthorn colony is something else, probably Mock Orange or Wolfberry, both natives generally seen in warmer places.
