Conflict Support Presentation

Role play of nonviolent communication (NVC).

Security

Continued from July 12 ACM.

CPR classes $50, held at fire station in Sandy. Next available classes are Nov 1, times 9:00-1:00 & 6:00-10:00. register on-line at sandyutah.gov. Encourage as many people to attend as are willing.

Last Monday Alex arranged to have Glen's Keys install 13 latchguards on storage units.

Some ideas:

• Can get an alarm that will go off if the storage door is opened without de-arming it. 
• Know what is in your storage unit so you can file for insurance. 
• A metal sleeve over the door edge and a plate over the gap can discourage thieves. 
• Repaint name at driveways in reflective paint.
• Signs at each entrance, community name, "Private Drive - No Thru Access".
• Towing sign & arrangement with towing company 
  
• Car hang tags
• Community sign - solar lights, reflective tape, reflective backing
• Solar lights on sign Steve Hyde made.
• Sign for guest parking so guests don't park in covered spots
• Address on signs, 1411 Utah & 1408 Cheyenne (workshop's address)
  
• Sign about 24-hour surveillance
• Cameras (possibly false or not active)
  

Concerns

• With towing idea, concern about delivery people or visitors who don't have marked vehicles.
• Concern about "Private" or "No Trespassing."  Can say "No Thru Access" or "Dead End" without "Private".

Signs would require a proposal.  A proposal for street-type signs was approved a number of years ago, although with community turnover may need re-discussion.

Safety & Security will prepare a proposal.

Committee Reports

Landscaping.  Building a tracker to record tasks by area and when they were or need to be done. When ready it will be sent to the community.  Meet 4th Tuesday every month 7:00 p.m.

Management.  Talking about gradually replacing furnaces with electric heaters.  Need to get bids on wiring and calculate cost/benefit.  Meeting schedule first and third Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m.

Ben has migrated the website and wiki.

Maintenance. Meeting schedule second Tuesday 7:00 p.m.

• Cheryl & Vinnie are working on gutters during next two weeks and late November after leafdrop. 
• Deck inspections next weekend, Friday evening or Saturday morning.  If you aren't available Vinnie will use a ladder.  Will check calking & remove several boards to inspect membrane. Since the Association is responsible for maintenance of membrane, it needs to be inspected by Association. If you want to be sure you are there, contact Vinnie.
  
• Stucco repairs next several weeks. 
• Patching anything under 1/4". Larger need professional work.
• Going to be painting the common house interior this winter; will discuss colors. 

Need everyone's help with projects. If you can't do physical labor there is documentation work needed, making phone calls, meeting vendors, doing research, organizational work.

Farmette 7:00 or 7:30 harvest party.

A page on the wiki has committee meeting schedules; you have to be logged in to see it.

Announcements

Robin will schedule a craft event making pumpkins/jack o-lanterns from wine corks.  Adults can hot-glue, kids can paint. If you have corks, pass them along to Robin.

Linda has a water softener that she doesn't want. Would it be useful in the common house? 

Linda rebuilt a bed in the east garden -- furthest west bed.  Talk to her with comments or concerns.

Underground wasp nest by playground. 

Plums along north/south stretch of path are ripe (#10/12/14). Linda will put her fruit picker out for use with the plum trees; please don't carry it off.

Neighborhood clean up sponsored by Cannon Stake.

Storage Bin

A couple of proposals are in the works.  This is a good time to do proposals before we get into budget season.

Fire pit.  Ban on "spark" fires, not on propane etc.  Kay had drafted a fire pit/fire policy proposal last year & will find it & send it out.

Question:  Should we continue having a zoom option for meetings?
