improvements. Public Works Director Kicak stated that is Flood Control's
responsibility. Councilmember Parks stated that Flood Control will be asking the cities
to contribute to these improvements.

Improvements, Priority Two. Public Works Director Kicak stated that he will compute

with the City of Murrieta. He expressed concern about putting this off since it could
