     A study of the run-off problem in D'Olive Bay has been sent to David Yeager, formerly of the NEP, and engineering firms are being asked for recommendations to correct problems.
    
The Stormwater Working Group is going to reconvene to begin working on structure and plans to implement Stormwater legislation. When the plan is complete it will go the County for a vote and Friends of Baldwin will assist in promoting support for the plan.
 
     Doug Holton, Chairman of the Zoning Committee, reported as follows:
     Friends of Baldwin wants to wholeheartedly support Georgia Bankston and her committee in their efforts toward the zoning referendum in District 18 (Foley). Georgia thanked everyone who approached the Co. Commissioners about foregoing the petition with 10% of registered voters as this greatly facilitates the move toward voting. The vote will be on Oct. 28 with three Town Hall Meetings preceding. More to follow.
 
     District 21 is also beginning the process towards a vote on zoning.
