ECFO is looking into raising fees for next season to cover operating costs. The 2003 Business Plan is being revised in house and will be used to determine how much to raise ISDRA fees for the 2009/2010 season. ECFO is planning on presenting to the RRAC in May.

This was taken from the El Centro field managers report, looks like they are wanting to raise our user fee's again. I for one, don't agree with an increase in fee's. What can we do as a group to let them know we don't want to see our fee's raised?

good luck on that ... well ever it take as a group ...
