Kenneth with some information. Kenneth had a PowerPoint for this meeting, but it was lost due to a computer
malfunction. They are working on fixing the bricks on SJC and welcome SGA to come up with a few dates we
could provide the manpower to work on some of the problem areas. Green Coalition said they could help with
water-wise plantings. SGA will pick some dates at the beginning of the year before school starts. The Green
Coalition has asked the City of Hemet for help with funding their projects, but don’t think the money can be

them.
