Inyo Supes Hold Special Meeting To Consider Banning Campfires in County-managed Campgrounds

The Inyo County Board of Supervisors will hold a special meeting Friday, August 20, to consider prohibit campfires at County-managed campgrounds.
The open session of the meeting begins at 8:30 a.m. The discussion on campfire prohibition is the only item for discussion.
