      Jim Morgan reported that the newsletter is coming along, and may have to add another page.

7. New Business
   1. From the Floor
      Discussed email from Gay forwarding comments from KC Sorgen about her visit to the Mayhew levee restoration site at Kansas access. KC asked about the removal of cages around  24 trees, including 3 dead trees.

      The Steering Committee agreed that we have no objection to removing the cages surrounding the three dead trees. It is unclear whether KC is proposing to remove only the three cages with dead trees or all 24 cages, so clarification from KC is needed.  Jim will recommend to Gay that she tell KC to remove the three dead tree cages.

      A photo of the watering cocoon was passed around. There is concern with people stepping on it and falling through.

8. Meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m.

The next meeting will be a Steering Committee Meeting on Tuesday, November 28, 2017, at the Rancho Cordova Library.
