President’s Report - February 2023
Friday-03-03-2023- @ 02:22
As I am writing this report, the SSEP Committee is wrapping up our annual Firewise Event, complete with food, drink and numerous important displays and interaction from community first responders and others. This event also serves as an opportunity for all of us to contribute to retired first responders. The Activities Committee conducted the bulk shredding event which gives all of us the opportunity to clear out some unneeded paperwork and hopefully provide another chance to make a charitable donation. This year’s event also included a Bloodmobile drive. I hope everyone has a chance to participate in some or all of these worthy events.

Earlier this month the Activities Committee sponsored an Activities Fair in the Ballroom; yet another opportunity to discover or reconnect with the variety of activities our community has to offer. The Activities Committee is also sponsoring a “Stuff the Truck” Event on March 4th to support Hope Hospice.

As many of you probably heard, we had a serious accident when a sedan ran under a parked trailer being used by a roofer to disposed of the old roof tear down materials. It is fortunate that no one was injured, but for those who have seen photographs of the car, this could have resulted in serious injury or even a fatality. There were several factors contributing to this severe accident and an investigation is underway. It does however, remind us that we all must be vigilant of safety within and outside of Herons Glen. Safety within our community begins with observing all stop signs and posted speed limits, but also includes always being an alert and observant driver. Although our SSEP Committee is always seeking ways to improve the safety of Herons Glen, it is up to each of us to do everything we can to ensure our own safety.

I would also like to thank all who are and have taken steps to improve and beautify their property. We are still recovering from the impact or Ian, but it is nice to see the efforts being made to make Herons Glen such a nice place to live.

Report to the Board February 2023

Below are the primary actions that came out of our organizational meeting.

A quick review of the committee’s guidance documents was held. All members had reviewed them and had no questions.

Areas where we thought we could help were identified. In order of researching are
• the HOA weekly bulletin. Director Kozak invited Joyce Gillespie to our next meeting to identify the needs.
• Understanding how the flow of information and guidance works now. Mike will work on a flow chart as the first step.From understanding the flow, we hope to identify where the committee can assist.
• Long term project – understanding the current processes for working with the internet and television. This will include discussions with Jim and Karen Mars.

We identified a regular meeting date and time as the third Wednesday of each month at 1:00 p.m. beginning on February 15. Director Kozak worked with Kim to reserve the conference room.

The committee members are interested in new members who have experience in communication and or a desire to work in communication. This request was added to the weekly bulletin.

Additional topics discussed and prioritized.

• Access to a variety of communication documents such as meeting agendas, meeting minutes. The committee could use this to help in communicating accurate information in a timely manner. Director Kozak did work with Manager Gillespie to identify the best method of receiving the information and which items will be most helpful.
• Fixing the links to areas that are listed in the weekly bulletin, finding things on the HOA website, a site index for the HOA website.
• Finding out how many residents receive the weekly email. Joyce provided Director Kozak this information.
• Getting ability for the committee to send group emails in the future. The information that would be in the emails may require approval prior to sending.More discussions will be held on this topic.
• Additionally, after our meeting a request for a committee email address was requested. Manager Gillespie is researching how to do this.
