THE SCOFF PROJECT: Water District Interviens

Documented: March 24, 2008
So one random afternoon Jason was outside working on his car and a city water district truck comes up the driveway. A man comes out and asks him "Is that your ramp back there?" Jason answered "Yes" hoping the man was going to admire it and want him to build a ramp for his kid.

"Well its not supposed to be on the levee, your going to have to take it down" Jason just froze and tried to work things out and give a viable argument to keep the ramp on the levee or just allow 2 days for it to be there. One for the tests runs and two for actual "Jump Day." The man said he would call his supervisor and get back to me but as of now the ramp has to be removed ASAP from the levee.

This is giving us some set backs which we don't need for the project, Jason has schedule a meeting on Wednesday to meet up with Jerry Lakeman the supervisor/ director for this levee along with their lawyer. Hopefully everything works out in the end.

So a few days later we weren't able to get our builders to come out and help tare down the ramp. We use to have camera man problems now were having builder problems not showing up and its causing more delays. Besides the point I'm very greatfull for all there help and the city actually volunteered four of there own workers to help break down the ramp. As you see in the photo above we complete broke down the ramp and shoved it inside the gap and scooted the ramp back 2ft also. The apparent rule is nothing is allowed to be built on the levee or within 20ft of it. So were all sort a bummed at the moment, hopefully things will go better tomorrow as Jason has his meeting with the Fresno Metropolitan Water Control Districts supervisor.
