Motion to accept by Nancy Borchers
and seconded by Barbara Jones . Approved
Membership—there are 607 members
currently.
Environment—Giovanni
Cosetti – She reported that she did check with
Edison in regards to power outages and unless there is an emergency, which
might include high wind conditions,
residents would be notified of outages in advance. She also provided the following information so you could check
conditions on your own.
1. SCE Links: a) http://sce.com/wildfire will show most factors of determining a power outage due to "wind event"; b) http://www.sce.com/psps is where everyone can log into their own SCE account to update their outage notification preferences. Snail mail is still an option for "scheduled outages" but for "wind event" or "emergency outages" this is where everyone can make sure they receive timely alerts.
2. Twitter:
Twitter is most easily used if one logs into Twitter
and searches via a hashtag (#). For example, even if you follow zero
accounts, you can still log into Twitter and in the search bar (magnifying
glass symbol) you can enter "# + name of fire" (example:
#cranstonfire) and up to the minute news will be in your feed. Link for

Roads and
Traffic—Richard Schwartz
·
SR243 is open as of Friday at 6:00 pm
·
SR243 between Mountain Center and Pine Cove will be
restriped using a method termed “thermal stripping” which incorporates
reflective beads in the pigment to improve visibility. This is supposed to have begun on Thursday between
the Nature Center and Pine Cove.
·
Removal of dead trees in the Cranston Fire burn area of SR
243 and SR74 had begun. This also could
require traffic control, usually with minimal waits.
·
Replacement of old culverts and creation of asphalt flow
dikes on SR74 is funded, but not yet scheduled.
Work is expected to take 6-9 months to complete.
MDP—Thom Wallace said that
request for donations have been mailed and hoped that many people would
respond.
Old Business—Richard spoke to the current Board and they are all willing
to serve another term, so no election needs to be held. Holiday Party will be
held at the Rainbow Inn on Saturday, December 7. RSVP by Nov. 25th.
