Committees drive our community. Communication of committee results improves community transparency. During the recent annual meeting several members expressed interest in committee annual reports. Specifically, posting annual reports on the committee website pages for all members to review. The following reports are now posted for member review. The intent is to provide a quick, one page report of accomplishments over the past year.
Firewise Committee 2020/2021 annual report

Questions or comments on the reports? Let the committee chairs know what you think.
Stay safe and well.

Congratulations to all who are using the new website launched in November 2020. As of July 1st more than 68% of the membership has logged in at least once. Hopefully, the structure, features and functions of the site are helping members with information to make their DPA member experience a better one.
With the new site operational for 9 months, we are looking for feedback on the website experience. Will you take 5 minutes to let us know what you think?

Dear Members,
Your Election Packet was mailed to you last week and included the McClintock Financial Statement. In the meantime, please review the enclosed documents as there are items that require your attention.
Please note, there is a 2021 Proxy Ballot enclosed. The Board recommends you complete and sign Proxy A and vote for its recommended slate of 3 candidates on the back. Candidates are Pamela Galy and Scott Rodda, incumbents, and James Donahue, an attorney who has the background and experience to speak to the many legal issues that can arise in a non-profit such as ours and who can act as a liaison for the association on matters where outside counsel has been retained. The three candidate statements are enclosed herein.
Please also note, we are serving a nice dinner following the meeting, catered by Fox and Hound, a Tahoe restaurant since 1991. We hope you will enjoy this delicious meal. Reservations are required. Your packet contains a 2021 Buffet Form which must be returned by July 26th but the caterer would very much appreciate it if you return the reservation form at your earliest convenience.
Thanks to all! We are looking forward to seeing you at the meeting.
Sincerely,
The Dollar Point Association Board of Directors
Fire season is here! Have you created a defensible space around your DPA home? Looking to clear out that manzanita, old dead wood, needles and pine cones? Perhaps the job looks too big for the family. Several DPA members have hand success getting help from local contractors. If you need help with defensible space cleanup, check out the following list: Defensible Space – Contractors for Clean-Up
Be prepared for wildfire events. See the DPA Fire Awareness page (https://www.dollarpoint.org/news-events/fire-awareness) for info on the following topics:
We’re excited to announce that the Dollar Point Pool will be opening on Monday, May 24, 2021! From May 24th-28th, the pool will be open 9am-5pm, lap swim reservations only with a capacity limit of 14 people. Reservations can be made up to 48 hours in advance, starting on May 22nd, by emailing info@dollarpoint.org or by using the pool reservation form on the website. Your reservation is considered confirmed ONCE YOU RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION EMAIL – NOT WHEN YOU SEND THE EMAIL. Each reservation has a 10 minute grace period before the reservation is considered canceled. A valid Dollar Point ID must be shown to enter the pool.
Beginning on Saturday, May 29, 2021, the pool hours will change to 7am-7pm with a capacity limit of 63 people until June 15th (California’s opening date). From 7am-11am the pool will be available for lap swim reservations. 11am-5pm the pool will open up for free swim with one lane kept in for walk-in lap swimmers. 5pm-7pm two lanes will be available for lap swim reservations while the rest of the pool remains free swim.
Please note that capacity limits or other pool rules may change to comply with California’s guidelines.
A reminder before Memorial weekend that one person in a group will need a valid Dollar Point ID card in order to enter the facilities. Members and family members described in the rules and listed by the member on the family listing may obtain an ID card. If you appear without your Dollar Point ID card, entry will not be permitted. Dollar Point ID cards issued in previous years are still valid, you will not need to replace them.
Any individual who plans on using the facilities by themselves will need their own ID card. There is no need for a family member to have an ID card if they will not be using the facilities. ID cards are created in the office at the pool, every person who wants a card made will need to bring valid proof of identity.
If you need an ID card or need to update your family member listing, please call the office 530-583-4487 or email info@dollarpoint.org
