Last Chance To Stop Auburn Dam!

River supporters have one last chance to convince decision makers that 
Auburn dam is too expensive, environmentally destructive and is opposed 
by most Sacramento residents.  The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency 
(SAFCA) will decide on flood control options on November 9.    Here's 
what you can do to stop the dam:

1. Call one or more of these SAFCA members and urge them to support 
improving Folsom dam and downstream levees and oppose Auburn dam: City 
Councilmember Rob Kerth: 264-7002, Supervisor Roger Dickinson: 440-5485, 
City Councilmember Heather Fargo: 264-7001 and Mayor Joe Serna: 
264-5300.  (Mayor Serna is not a SAFCA member but is influential with the 
board).

2. Call Rep. Robert Matsui's office in Sacramento (498-5600) and urge him 
to oppose the Auburn dam and support improvements of Folsom dam and levees.

3. Write a letter to the Editor of the Sacramento Bee (P.O. Box 15779, 
Sacramento, CA 95852 or fax to 321-1996).  Note that it is Rep. John 
Doolittle who is  holding Sacramento "hostage" with his promise to block 
any flood control bill which does not authorize construction of the 
Auburn dam.

4. Attend the last SAFCA hearing on Thursday, November 9, 6 p.m., at the 
Sacramento City Council Chambers (915 I Street) and express your 
opposition to the Auburn dam and support for improving our existing 
facilities.
