However, to be successful, our association needs to cultivate fresh ideas and encourage additional resident involvement in our committees; so, we’d like your help on one of our committees.

Committees give the board a way to gather information, offer new ideas and opinions and provide a training ground for future board members. All committees are advisory to the board unless given specific decision-making authority by the board or CC&Rs.

The board provides each committee with a job description, goal and mission statement to help it succeed as a community resource.

Our association has three types of committees:

• Administrative committees, like our architectural control committee, are set out in our association’s bylaws and CC&Rs. They are ongoing, permanent and often have clearly defined power and authority.

• Standing committees, such as our finance and facility management committees, are established by the board for an ongoing and specific purpose. These committees generally make recommendations to and act under the supervision of the board.

• Ad-hoc committees, such as our summer picnic committee, are established by the board as needed for specific projects and tasks. When the task is complete, the committee is disbanded.

So, if you're thinking about running for the board and want to learn a little more about association operations first, or if you're interested in helping improve your community or just want to get out and meet neighbors, we would be thrilled to talk to you about our committees and how you might be able to help. Contact any member of the board or call the manager for more information.

• All material to be collected must be stacked beside the street.  Crews cannot enter on to private property to remove materials.  Do not block the street when stacking items.
• Only flood damaged household debris will be collected as part of this service.  No chemicals, paint or hazardous materials.
