doing out selective clearing trees and underbrush. Mike Yost, is the Superintendent
working with other people putting a plan together dividing Clear Creek in about 20 different

but hopes it can be condensed down a lot better than that. He stated he feels that this is a
step forward.

across it and cannot believe what is down there. There is brush, is a jungle, and a
dumping ground. Anything the City can do to get that cleaned will certainly help get the
