Per Linda Maio:
There will be a public meeting to discuss the flooding problem in West Berkeley tomorrow night. (Tuesday Jan. 10). The time is 7:00 PM at the Frances Albrier Center in San Pablo Park, 2800 Park Street (between Russell and Ward). Phil Kamlarz and Claudette Ford will both be there. This city is interested to know about the problems people had, and what they may be able to do to help to prevent future flooding.
