GUEST

When the CPO meeting was announced on Facebook, Mariah Mae contacted Jake. Mariah is on the board of the Viola Community Club (the red schoolhouse). Although too busy to be on another board she expressed an interest in attending this and perhaps future CPO meetings.

During the meeting Mariah explained the progress the club has made in procuring insurance and promotion of the facility. She expressed concerns that development in the vicinity immediate to the schoolhouse would lead to the demise of the building or lead to unmanageable expenses.

She wanted to be sure that the CPO would be watchful of any development in the immediate vicinity and act to protect and preserve that site.

Jay suggested holding a CPO meeting at the school. Lance asked for guidance from her as to whether she was providing information or wanted some type of interface with the CPO.

REPORTS and Discussion:

Our CPO is seeking a new board member.

Jake contacted Jake Hemphill who though interested does not currently have the time.

Lance had volunteered to post brochures in Redland. He reported on his multiple and varied attempts to reach Maria Magallan of Clackamas Community Engagement.

Jay volunteered the services of Clear Creek to modify and print the brochure including a CPO contact for interested potential CPO members..

Jake volunteered to serve as that contact if a phone number would be helpful.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

Recruiting plan for new CPO board member to be finalized including brochure modification.

Further discussion regarding PGE plans. Should we support Stafford with a letter or other means. Is there anything we need to research further,or do with respect to PGE plans in Redland area?
