The following message is from Supervisor Wheeler’s office. Attachments included below.

Hello District 5 Constituents,

This is a friendly reminder that Supervisor Wheeler will be hosting the next town hall meeting in North Fork this Thursday June 8th from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the North Fork Rancheria Community Center (56900 Kuhugib Road). I have attached the event flyer, draft agenda, and the 2017 town hall schedule.

Also attached you will find a one pager outlining some of the advantages of roundabouts and some resources for additional information. Please know that staff will be present to answer any questions. Additionally, we did host a community meeting specifically on the roundabout on March 30, 2017 where the project consultant, county staff, CHP, Sherriff’s office and CALFIRE/Madera County Fire all spoke about the proposed project. As the engineers get further along in the design phase we will continue to explore other community outreach efforts. As always, please do not hesitate to call me with any questions.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers,
Brittany Dyer
District Chief of Staff, District 5
