Without construction of this levee, the people of Newman and the surrounding area will be at continual risk of flooding resulting from the overflow of Orestimba Creek. In association with the construction of the levee, the city of Newman will develop and implement an advance warning system. Mr. Chairman, included in this legislation we are considering today are several Chief's Reports that were received in time for the committee to review. I ask that your commitment to working with me to ensure the Chief's Report on Orestimba can be reviewed in this process.
