Clarified what the landslide abatement districts are doing and their purpose. Bill from Senator Allen SB 1461 has passed committee. It extends emergency services act to include landslides. Work is being done to add it to the state disaster assistance efforts. Ask will be made on Tuesday City Council meeting to have mayor send letter in support of this.

There are exposed Cox Cable lines along Dauntless near Exultant. Spoke with the cable company technician on site. The land movement has exposed lines that were buried and repaired several months ago. Currently, the cable company does not have another option besides repairing the lines. Estimates are that service disruptions could affect about 10 SeaView residents who live beyond the exposed cable.
