Council Rejects Sycamore Grant Opportunity

Council politics costs residents adjacent to Sycamore Creek. Santee Mayor Randy Voepel and Council members Dale and Howard reject Sycamore Creek restoration grant opportunity without explanation. Fire and flood hazard from exotic species could be abated by $200K project. Grant authored voluntarily by Van Collinsworth in coordination with the State and Padre Dam Municipal Water District. Supportive Councilman Jim Bartell requests explanation.
