New Dues Assessment and Receivables Policy

by
At the December TVHA Board meeting, the Board approved a new Dues Assessment and Receivables Policy as recommended by the Finance Committee.  This policy provides clarification regarding when annual dues are approved, how invoiced, specific payment due dates, late charges, reminders, and liens.  The new policy is here.
 
Statements for the second installment of dues (January – June 2016) will be emailed after the first of the year.  To ensure electronic delivery of your statement, please include my email address (kjkhallkubesh@icloud.com) in your contacts.  Otherwise, be sure and check your junk folder as it may end up there.
 
Thank you my fellow committee members Vicki Derrenberger and Don Folsum for their efforts.

Crying Wolf About Wind?

by
On Thursday, Dec. 3rd (2015), a warning for high winds in our area was forwarded to all Timberton residents via an “email blast” from Rick Hellewell, at the request of Tom Carter, Emergency Manager for Timberton HOA.   
 
The warning was issued because we had experienced two damaging windstorms causing power outages recently — one on Aug 29 and the other on Nov 15.  North Olympic power managers were wary on Thursday, Dec. 3, as a new storm headed our way, and no one was certain just how bad the storm would be when it reached us.  NOAA [the government weather dweebs] issued the warning Thursday morning for sustained winds of 60 to 70 mph for east Jefferson Country and the Pacific Ocean coast.  Wind speeds were expected to be most severe between 5 and 6 pm.  PUD personnel were prepared for power outages because in the two most recent storms, power was lost to thousands of customers due to downed trees.  After those storms, power was restored in some areas within hours, but it took several days to reach customers in more remote areas.  
 
This time, the storm weakened and moved north aa it came ashore, and the weather service downgraded its warnings at about 2 pm; however PUD and law enforcement agencies took a wait-and-see stance and waited until Friday morning, Dec. 4th, to issue an “all clear” in our area.  
 
It missed us this time, but please don’t ignore these warnings!  They are sent to you for your protection and so you can plan and be ready, just in case.

Not Dark Now

So the power is back on in our little village. Others in the OP area still waiting.

What was your experience during the outage yesterday? Were you prepared? What did you wish you had done to prepare (and what are you going to do to prepare for the next one)? How did you stay informed? Any tree damage?

Let us know in the comments. The Web Guy was more prepared this time than the last one: LED lanterns for light, water was stored, kept the fridge door closed (cold cereal for dinner), phones were charged, had backup batteries/chargers for the phones (although ATT was down, so didn’t have that info access).

How about you?
