Continuing Business:
The Ponderosa Pines HOA Picnic was, by all accounts, a true success. It was proposed that, funds permitting, we plan a picnic for next summer. We will keep you informed. If you missed this year’s picnic, plan to attend next summer. (It was a good time).
WithLouisville’s change in our trash collection, the issue of garbage cans was once again brought to our attention. The covenants for our HOA require that trash cans (after trash collection) be removed from the curb and stored out of site from the street. Your help in keeping our streets and the line of sight to the front of our homes garbage can free would be greatly appreciated.
Gas Line Inspection – IMPORTANT INFORMATION – PLEASE READ – Several months ago we had an incident in our own neighborhood of a gas line severing at the point of connection to the gas meter. This caused a solid stream of gas to flow out into the street. One errant spark could have destroyed several homes. Fortunately, Ann and Doug Chestnut were the heros of the day for calling 911, and a potential tragedy was averted. We bring you this information for a couple of reasons:

New Business:
This next item is brought to you as a public service announcement from your Annual HOA Meeting. This suggestion was made because of the recent evacuations we have had, very close to home, inBoulderCountydue to the wildfires. There are several websites and organizations that offer check lists and advise regarding evacuation and handling disasters should they strike you and/or our neighborhood. You may wish to review these sites and prepare your family for the actions to take in case of a disaster. (Where to meet up if you are unable to get home – Who is responsible for getting the pets out – What will you take when an evacuation order is given – where are precious documents etc. etc.) Patti Pierce or Carol House have available via email or hard copy some information from “Ready Colorado” that may be helpful. Please call Patti at 303-666-5579 or Carol (daytimes) at 303-661-3782. You may also check the websites forBoulderCountyand the State ofColorado. No one wishes to spread doom and gloom but being prepared is smart for you, your family and your neighborhood.
There being no further business, meeting was adjourned.
