Alan Schaevitz, our webmaster, created our original website and is now working on the new version. We now have our own domain name. This site was created to keep us all abreast of what is going on in the area to help us be organized in attending city council, planning commission, design review, etc. meetings. Our web address is https://baysideacres.org. Members were encouraged keep the Association informed of any changes in their e-mail addresses so we can keep in touch if there is important information that needs to be quickly disseminated.
David Tattersall reported that some of our Board members have been working on the Loch Lomond Marina Committee for over 4 years. He stressed that it is very important for everyone to attend as many design review, park and rec. etc. meetings as possible. The EIR is not out yet. It should be published sometime in November or December. It will be important that it be reviewed carefully so we will be able to responsibly ask questions and bring up issues. A summary of the Loch Lomond Marine Development Project was handed out at the meeting.
Association membership in the Pt. San Pedro Road Coalition was discussed. No action or vote was taken.
No discussion was pursued relative to the Federation of San Rafael Neighborhoods.
Emergency Response Plan: Stuart Brown asked the group for volunteers for a committee to help set up an emergency plan for Bayside Acres. There is a gentleman in Peacock Gap that is DART trained. He will help provide us with 3 hours of overview training of the DART program. Call or e-mail Stuart (457-6108, stuartbrown1@comcast.net) if you would like to attend some training and/or be a part of our Emergency Response Volunteer Team. He is hoping that we can coordinate with the Coalition regarding communication, staging areas, and medical help for the peninsula. It is suggested that we all have at least 1 week of food, water and personal medical supplies on hand for each member of our family.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 pm.
