Web Site Advisory April 3, 2008

Our web host will be performing routine maintenance on the MySql server that contains our data. The following message was provided by our host:

MySQL Maintenance Scheduled for Tonight

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve MySQL performance, we will be adding new hardware and re-allocating the load on our MySQL servers between 12:00am and 5:00am EDT on Thursday, April 3, 2008. During this five-hour maintenance window, there may be periods of time when your database is temporarily inaccessible, making the database-driven pieces of your Web site temporarily unavailable to your visitors. (You should be able to connect to your database(s) as normal for most of this maintenance window, but you may experience intermittent connectivity issues between midnight and 5:00am EDT.)

We have scheduled this maintenance for a time when traffic to most customers' sites is typically at its lowest. Still, we apologize for any inconvenience, and we expect that the work we're doing will help improve your site's performance.

GovGuam Partners with U.S. Navy to Protect Coral Reef Habitat

March 31, 2008

Governor Felix P. Camacho today signed a Cooperative Agreement with the United States Navy for the Reforestation of the Masso Reservoir area in Piti.

The Masso Project was developed as a mitigation project for the loss of coral reef habitat in Apra Harbor as a result of the Alpha and Bravo Wharfs Improvement projects by the US Navy. The Masso Reservoir Reforestation Project will include the planting of 12 acres of native plants and trees and a 30-acre security fence. The project will reduce sediment flowing into the reservoir, the Masso River and Piti's coast. Sediment is a major cause of reef degradation.

"This agreement will protect our coral reef and help preserve our natural resources," Governor Camacho said. "We are committed to projects like the Masso Agreement and future partnerships to conserve our environment."

Under the terms of the Cooperative Agreement, the US Navy will pay the Guam Department of Agriculture's Forestry and Soil Resources Division $235,000 to perform the scope of work, which includes a three-year deadline for completion.

Governor Camacho offered special appreciation to the late David Limtiaco, the Chief of the Forestry and Soil Resources Division at the Guam Department of Agriculture, who passed away unexpectedly last month. Mr. Limtiaco not only assisted in the development and negotiation of this agreement, but was the author of the Reforestation Plan that will be implemented within the agreement.
