Hours & Expenses Due 30 Sep

Please send to Toni the hours and expenses you’ve incurred during 2015 for Fire Mitigation and related work, by 30 September.   We’re tracking community project hours and costs; but feel free to supply Toni with personal hours and costs as well if you want  (it may help you with taxes).  Indicate what is personal vs community.

Examples include hours spend attending our CWPP and FireWise meetings1, hours doing mitigation of your own home and property, money spent on gas & oil for chainsaws, what you paid in matching grant money, etc.

Thanx!
– Your CWPP (that’s all of us!)

1 We’ll include your hours at meetings from the attendance notes, but just in case please send what you recall anyway.

CWPP mtg Wed Sept 9 at 6:30

All – after a short hiatus, it is time to get back together on our Community Wildfire Planning effort.  Let’s have a short meeting to regroup before resuming our Tuesday meetings.  Once the CWPP has been completed and signed, we can meet perhaps a couple times a year to continue to plan and work towards the goal of protecting our neighborhood.  The synergy throughout this process has been awesome….let’s keep it going!

We have a tentative meeting date of Wed Sept 9 at 6:30 at Steve Hein’s cabin. Topics will include setting dates for a structural ignition hazard assessment and a site visit for Tri-Lakes Fire Department on our hose-monkey project; discussions on an article for the local press; final assignments to complete the CWPP; compilation of volunteer hours; etc.  We need to have the CWPP signed by December, to take advantage of any available tax breaks for 2015.

If you are not available this Wednesday and would like to participate, please let Diane or Steve R know an alternative date that would work better.  Thanks.
