HACIENDA VIEJA
There has been no update from the Coastal Commission staff on the Hacienda Vieja Project. It is probable that they will not complete their analysis for several months. We will keep you posted on developments as soon as we hear anything.

USAGE SURVEY
As we reported last month, MMPC has been out on More Mesa asking members of the community recreating on More Mesa to complete our usage survey. So far we have been extremely pleased with the response. Preliminary analysis of the first 180 people who completed the survey shows that just this small group of people represent more than 1600 visits a month to More Mesa! It is, once more, clear that More Mesa is a very special place to members of our community.
