Reports:
Fire District – Chief,
John Benson
Forms are available to
indicate any medical problems and medications that emergency responders need
to be aware of. Legally this information cannot be put into a database.
These forms should be posted in a conspicuous location such as on the
refrigerator. The locations of these postings might be put into a database
in the future.
Reservoir – District
Manager, Bob de Haas
The reservoir is filling
at a good rate. It is currently filled to about 50 acre feet, 50% of full
capacity. All homes are now served by reservoir water that is treated in
our plant. The expectation, based on the latest projections is that the
reservoir will be full in the mid April to end of June time frame.
3rd Arm –
Co-Chair, Gail Loveman
The 3rd Arm
focuses on supporting services that will free up firefighters during
incidents. Services include traffic evacuation, animal rescue, special
needs residents, and individual property information. Volunteers of all
types are needed. Go to the BMFPD website for information.
BMFPD Mitigation Crew –
Manager, Steve Lynn
A small crew will be
working through the winter. Chipping by the crew is subsidized and is a
bargain for homeowners at $65 per hour.
Treasury – Treasurer,
Dave Davies
As of end of January we
show a net positive cash position of $19,716. The budget for 2007 shows
total receipts of $52,450 and total expenditures of $51,100 with a net
surplus of $1,350. A motion to approve the budget was approved. The
collection of 2007 dues is progressing well at this point.
Timber Lane Fuel Break –
Project Manager, Tim Triggs
HOA funds of $20,000 are
being matched by the state to allow us to do $40,000 in mitigation work this
year. The next highest priority along Timber Lane is moving very quickly.
We are already at about the 50% point, in terms of projected project work
for 2007.
Beetle Busters –
Representative, Suzanne Adams
Both chair or co-chairs,
as well as working volunteers, are needed at this time.
Pine Brook Press –
Editor, Suzanne Adams
The Pine Brook Press is
always looking for articles from our residents.
Old Business:
Minutes from the October
25 meeting were submitted and a motion for approval passed.
Status of bronze dam
plaque - HOA has contributed to install a bronze dam plaque for the de Haas
family. The plaque is now ready to be installed at the center of the
walkway at the top of the dam. A ceremony sometime in April or May will be
scheduled for the installation.
Refurbishing of PBH
street direction signs – Two volunteers have been identified thus far.
Revegetation of the Dam
– Planting is expected to take place in November or December of this year.
It is not clear as to how this project will be financed.
Recreational Use of the
Reservoir area – Bob de Haas listed items that should not be allowed, based
on input from the Water Board and it’s insurers. They are: swimming, dogs
swimming, wading, skating, ice fishing.
All other activities
would need to be carefully studied by the HOA and the Water Board prior to
approval. Major issues that would need to be addressed are: safety,
supervision, dollar costs, access, noise, etc.
