Reports:
Bobbi Bryan gave a report on the “Emergency Preparedness” meeting that took place November 7th at the Redland Grange. We had a very good attendance at the meeting with 30+ people. Notifications for the meeting were on two Facebook pages, on our website, and by email to members of the CPO. The feedback from our audience was excellent. Our speakers from Clackamas County Disaster Management, Clackamas County Fire #1, and our own Jay Henke from Clear Communications all gave informative presentations and answered questions from the audience. In addition, Clear Creek Communication set up the chairs for the meeting and provided a wonderful array of refreshments. Bobbi suggested the meeting initially and planned the meeting. Many thanks for her efforts in this first community presentation by the CPO.
A meeting for next year was discussed thoroughly.
Suggestions for the next “preparedness meeting:
- Hold the meeting in September to be more prepared for wildfire season
- Do a mailing, perhaps a postcard, and try to secure the mailing through the County using our CPO allowance
- Invite the community in conjunction with an afternoon potluck
- Plan location with adequate parking
- Record the meeting so that those who can’t attend can view it.
CPO information for new Board members is available on-line with the CPO Handbook on the Clackamas County website. Training is also required for new members. We will check with the County to see if that training is available on line.
New Business:
Without a vote but with the consensus of all present, the CPO won’t meet in January 2025 as been our tradition. It is a slow time of the year with usually very little business to conduct.
We received an email from Michael Barnes, new supervisor of the Clackamas County Code Enforcement Department. He would like to schedule a meeting with our CPO. We will respond to him and invite him to our February meeting.
A time will be scheduled for new board members to have a tutorial with our web designer, Ryan Ositis. Ryan will show the board members how to post events and update information on our CPO website. All board members are automatically administrators on the website. Donna will coordinate the Zoom training time with Ryan and send out notifications.
Board members also have the pass word for the CPO email can access that account at any time. Donna checks our email account weekly.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 pm.
Respectfully,
Donna Hazel
CPO Board Secretary
