In its application, the Town con- templates two scenarios. The first is a $23 million option which includes rebuilding the upper 2.5 miles of the road and rehabilitating the lower 5.8 miles. The second is a $16.7 mil- lion option which only includes the rebuild of the upper 2.5 miles. The scary part about the grant is that if the Town gets it, part of the deal is that it assumes responsibil- ity for maintaining the road … IN PERPETUITY. Public Works Director Grady Dut- ton estimated annual maintenance cost for the road (at least for the first 25 years) at about $100,000 a year. After that? Dutton said the town could always apply for another grant to rebuild the road in the distant future. Hardly a guarantee. But as Dutton said, in this era of declining Forest Service budgets, the Town is fearful if it doesn’t step forward, the road will continue to disintegrate. “If we don’t do it, it’s not going to happen,” he said.

Tony Dublino, pending approval by the Board of Supervisors, is the new Assistant CAO for Mono County.

“The stalwarts out in the cheap seats left halfway through.” - Mam- moth Mayor Shields Richardson’s observation about this week’s Mammoth Lakes Recreation (MLR) Board meeting and the members of the public who are opposed to the proposed Multi-Use Facility (MUF) for Mammoth Creek Park. As one of those stalwarts wrote in an email to The Sheet this week, “Just went to MLR meeting and it is so far gone despite a known mini- mum $1.5 million shortfall amongst other issues ... “ Betsy Truax, Chair of Mammoth’s Recreation Commission, said The Commission remains strongly sup- portive of the MUF project. Councilman Bill Sauser asked Community Development Director Sandra Moberly if the MUF Environ- mental Impact Report was defen- sible and solid and she replied yes. Town Attorney Andrew morris then chirped, “Of course, that doesn’t mean you’re not going to get sued.”
