Eagle Landing/Sunnyside CPO: Nancy Hall
Nothing new on Eagle Landing. CPO Meeting June 3
County Commissioner Ken Humberston spoke about the Courthouse Replacement Project. Part of the cost is being funded by the State, the County is unsure how they will fund remaining costs. Possible funding through a bond issue. Mr. Humberston spoke briefly about the County budget and said out of the total 1.2 billion dollar budget, the County basically has spending control on 150 million.
Jamie Poole, Outreach and Technology Coordinator for Clackamas County, spoke about disaster management - in particular about earthquake preparedness. She said citizens should prepare to have at minimum enough food, water, etc., to last 2 weeks. Minimum water needed is one gallon per person per day. Emergency extra water sources are: the water heater and water in the back of the toilet. If you have pets, you need to prepare for them too. Also keep your documents available (copies?) for a quick exit. She suggested having a contact person who lives out of state for family members to contact in an emergency because local phone service could be down. Area emergency radio stations are: 91.5 and 101.1. Some websites of interest: regionalh20.org and emergencytoilet.org
A representative from NW Natural gas was there and spoke about earthquakes and gas lines. In neighborhoods built in 1990 and later, NW Natural may have Excess Flow Valves installed that sense pressure or movement that would automatically shut off gas to those neighborhoods. Homeowners in other neighborhoods can pay to install an earthquake shut off valve on their gas line. Some of these valves can be tripped by other means and NW Natural will charge to come out and turn back on your gas. However, a valve called the Northridge 2000 can be easily reset by the homeowner if it is accidentally tripped. One company that can install these valves is NW Seismic at 503-741-8311. The NW Natural rep also mentioned that their company was 160 years old and that they get their gas from Canada and the Rockies. Natural gas is lighter than air and Mercaptan is the substance that is put in the gas to produce the rotten egg smell - otherwise it's odorless.
Clackamas County Representatives were there to get feedback about short term rentals, such as AIRBBs. The County may or may not put restrictions on these types of rentals. Information gathered will be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners for further consideration.
HOA Web Site and Homeowner Participant: Thomas Spathas. Noted cars blocking of sidewalks on 96th court. Thomas asked about adding address request for emails that come through the site from Homeowners. All board members agreed that would be helpful.
Dave Gilman, Homeowner Participant asked about what work was being done on 99th and Idleman. PGE was replacing some boxes this year and the rest next year according to Mr. Biseaius who had discussion with the workers.
GENERAL BUSINESS
Adjournment: at 8:30pm by Neil Gavrich.
Next Regular Board Meetings: July 2nd, 2019 at 7 pm at the Fire Station and each first Tuesday of the month that follows, except in August and December when there will be no meeting.
