Treasurer’s Report—The September beginning balance was $8,004.04. Income of $90 for memberships and one expense of $575.99 for gym equipment for Stn. 23. Ending balance was $7,518.05. As there was no income or expenses for October the balance remains the same. 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.

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. 25^th.

New Business: As soon as possible we need to get the newsletter out. This is the time we send renewal notices for 2020 and the invitation to the Holiday Party.
