Meeting Minutes
20 May 2005
The Bluff Management subcommittee conducted its first
meeting on 20 May 2005. The purpose of this meeting was
primarily organizational. A mission state was developed,
general guidelines and objectives were addressed, and the
next two meetings were scheduled. The details are below.
Mission
Statement:
Develop a written plan that documents a scientifically
sound, environmentally sensitive approach to Kala Point
bluff management in order to best preserve bluff stability
and property views in accordance with the governing
documents.
Guidelines
and Objectives:
1) The subcommittee will consider its task complete upon
board approval of a written plan. The subcommittee will
work with the board to produce iterations as necessary to
reach the final, written plan.
2) The subcommittee will conduct its tasks by gathering
existing information from publicly available, scientific
sources. If necessary, experts may be hired. However, the
first expectation is to determine what is already available
for use.
3) The subcommittee will gather information from the KPOA
members. All efforts will be made to create open
communication. Each subcommittee member will avoid bringing
personal biases/expectations to the subcommittee.
4) The bluff management plan will address all the bluff
within Kala Point, from the beach to Kala Heights. Through
most of the bluff is on Common Area, some is on private
property. This will need to be addressed within the plan.
5) The subcommittee has determined that, at this time, no
chair is needed due to the small number of members.
Future
Meetings:
1) 8 July 2005 at 10:00 at the office. Each member will
gather and read as much information as possible to become
familiar with the overall nature of bluff management. At
this meeting, we will divide the areas to be addressed
amongst us for future efforts.
2) 22 July 2005 at 10:00 at the office.
