[Geysers] Entrance and Backcountry Fee

[David Prast]

Having reviewed the minutes if the meeting that were provided, I noticed
there was no mention of the the specific use of the additional revenue. It
would seem there is no interest in a shuttle system (thank goodness) and
the no interest in expanded parking at Fountain Paint Pots even though the
number of automobile parking spaces was reduced during the last parking lot
project.  So....what is the "plan" for the additional revenue? Is there a
specific designated project for the additional revenue?

Just wondering,

David Prast
