1)
Grant/Fire: Gordon Ravenscroft, the disaster services
point man for the County, attended our July 10th Board meeting, to discuss the
latest on the wildfire mitigation grant. He said there's about $15,000 left
from last year's grant, and that he feels confident that he'll have close to
$60,000 from the second year grant to devote to completing the work on Duquette
Pines. So, it is looking good for Duquette Pines homeowners interested in
minimizing the wildfire danger to their homes! For more information, contact
Jim White.
2)
Water Conservation: Due to the high temperatures and
lack of precipitation, the Board wants to remind all owners/water users of the
necessity of conserving water by limiting household and eliminating outdoor
water usage. Signs will be posted to remind residents to conserve water.
