In addition to the normal committee reporting and financial status statements, two primary items of discussion were of specific interest:
- The on-going Status of the Wildfire Advisory Committee; and,
- The forthcoming concern regarding 3 Potential Vacating Seats on the Board!
Wildfire Risk Assessment:
The recent issue of The Voice addresses “Wildfire Preparedness” with an all-important reminder that ‘wildfire risk’ is an entire community concern. In the same issue, the idea of a community fire involvement interest is further complemented with a follow-on article regarding “East Jefferson Fire & Rescue ‘Firefighters in Training’. Both timely articles.
At the last December Board Meeting we started with an introductory discussion on “How to Prepare Out Homes and our Village for Wildfires”, and the establishing of our own Timberton Village “Wildfire Safety Advisory Committee.” The intended focus was to be the mitigation of fire potential risk in preparing both home and common village areas and, the vital awareness of identifying village evacuation routes, and the when and which way out to find access in order to evacuate.
Attached, please find a comprehensive summary report as presented by Sue Cross, Committee Chair.
There are two primary focus points: (a) the risk to homes and individual properties and, (b) the risks to common areas within TVHA control. The report further invites a pro-active and involved interest by members of our community, and participation, a voluntary neighborhood participation, joining in with the committee effort.
Three Members of the Current Board of Directors are leaving the board.
Our current board is 5 members serving for two-year terms. The members terms are staggered so that there is an overlap of continuing and newly elected members. By our CC&R guidelines, we can have a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 9 members. 5 members is a workable standard. Officers are President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer with designated committee chair positions and participation.
Three current board members are ending their respective terms. The election of replacement and new board members is in June. It’s not a difficult effort but definitely anticipates a conscientious and actively involved effort. This note is the first head’s up that we will be seeking candidates and their resumes by the May ‘candidate and budget ratification mailing. May we suggest that we hear of a possible interest before May 1st.
