August 3 SCCO videos posted

Posted on August 11, 2023 by Gary Haliski

Two videos have been posted from the August 3 meeting. One is a presentation by the Upper Willamette Soil & Conservation District. This is a very educational presentation and affects us all.

The second video goes over committee reports, new items, and potential future meeting topics. If you want to go to a specific topic click on the word ‘more’ to see all time stamps. Then click on the time and you will be taken to the portion that you are interested in.

The last topic of the committee reports video was brought up by an audience member who suggested that the SCCO needs to put emphasis on Public Safety. If you are interested in leading or being on a committee to try and curb speeding, burglaries, and illegal drug activity, please contact contact@santaclaracommunity.org .
