Summary below of Raglan Community Board agenda provided by John Lawson of Whaingaroa Enviromental Defence Inc. The amount listed below of $2,000 for the RSA grant request is listed incorrectly in the Council paper. The actual amount requested is $1380. This has since been reduced to $380 as the RSA has received a grant from another funder.
