Apologies for the delay, but the working meeting minutes from February are now available. Jim Thomson reported back on the Placer County Conservation Plan meetings where the supervisors managed to agree on a conservation map to allow the process to continue. Whew. Sara Taillon reported on the First Five organization, which has some grant funds available.

We also discussed the grant contract with the Truckee-Tahoe Community Foundation, which recently approved a $5000 grant to help the DSAA with community development planning. The grant requirements were so well-worded, that the board decided to use them as the focus of our work for the next year! The elements involve achieving consensus amongst regional homeowner groups via a Memorandum of Understanding which will formalize the relationships between the HOA initiated at the Summit Summit and the development of a survey which will lead into writing of formal community planning documents.
