Road Surface Maintenance / Trial Road Surface Product On...
Last post by Administrator - Dec 18, 2023, 04:18 AMAs the secretary, Tom, has noted the product that he already has received quotes for is expensive and we need to find a way to reduce that expense. Jeremy has shown us a cheaper method. Pouring tracks in some sections is a way to reduce the cost even further. Reduce the cost so that WCC can seal more road surface sooner. Beat a product price rise and unkind weather.
The front section of road section 3 on the road section map would appear to be the logical place for the trial to be done, why? because 13 of the 16 shareholders need to drive over that section to get to and from their home. That should provide enough traffic and experience for us to make the important decision.
Proposal
That WCC agree to a trial run of road sealant product for full width (2.2m to 2.6m) and tracks (0.5m to 0.6m wide) on a section of community road.
The suggested length of tracks:
The suggested length of full width:
Scope of work:
Tom Thumb 6.5 tonne Flowcon truck delivery ,
blowing off loose gravel, spraying special emulsion on the ground to help the product stick, spreading the hot mix & then whacking it with the plate compactor for a few minutes.
Cost:
$3,900 per truck load.

Meetings and Agendas / Removal of Signatories to WCC ...
Last post by site-3 - Jul 16, 2023, 09:15 AMI would also like to finalise the updating of the bank details by removing the authorisations of two other
community members who are not involved with the banking. This is Amulet (#7) who we thought may be
needed as an on site substitute for myself - but this has not been needed and Sienna who is no longer
involved with committee work. Both Amulet and Sienna have indicated they do not object to their names
being removed.
My apologies for not getting all the changes done at once.
Proposal
That Amulet ov Acorn and Sienna Blake be removed as a signatory to the Community bank account at the
Summerland Credit Union.

Fire fighting equipment / Fire Fighting Back Pack
Last post by Administrator - Sep 16, 2022, 01:42 AMCopy of email dated 20/03/20
Hi All,
When we orignally set up the fire trailer it was equipped with a selection of fire fightng equipment including rakes and back packs.. There uused to be 6 back packs, but when the fire trailer was fixed up for the drought there was only one rake and one back pack. In the last week the remaining back pack has disappeared.

Meetings and Agendas / Re: Meeting
Last post by Administrator - Sep 10, 2022, 02:32 AMWould like to point out that "Clearing of roadside gutters" has not been completed as per proposal. The "dig out" at S3/S4 pipe crossing was excluded and the remainder of the "dig out" filled in. The 1½" inch creek line poly pipe was routed through the 450mm Blackmax pipe breaching a gentleman's agreement to route all poly pipe needing to cross the road through the 250 mm diameter drain pipe.

Creek Line / Re: Aug 2022 Upgrade
Last post by Administrator - Aug 29, 2022, 11:22 PMHi Wayne,
Sites 8 and 9 are currently connected to a 1½" line from Site 5 concrete tank. Site 5 has a 1½" line going to it. We recently installed a 1½" line to Site 7 with the intention of soon adding another 50 or so meters to take it close to the house. We are also working on installing a fire riser at Site 4 with fittings already purchased, including the required 1½" line.We have the fire risers for all sites that currently do not have them and are hoping this to be a task that we will be able to implement over the next couple of months. This includes fire risers for sites 10 and 12 that currently do not have them.
I see many jobs to be done that in my mind have a higher priority than the two tanks being isolated from one another including an extra tank for sites 11 and 13 to 16 which currently have the least amount of water storage for all sites.

Creek Line / Aug 2022 Upgrade
Last post by Administrator - Aug 29, 2022, 10:58 PMSubject:Re: Halfway valves twin tanks S4 and system configuration
Hi Peter,
Please read the proposal again especially the first sentence "we have discussed...." that includes you Peter.
We discussed and agreed on this in 2019 and you confirmed that you wanted to fit a halfway outlet into both tanks and run another water pipe under the road. That makes two pipes under the road from the twin tanks at S4. This is a follow up from where we started back then.
The proposal is a reminder and involves the installation of one length of 1½" poly pipe running from one of the existing tanks, down under the road through the existing, small 250 mm diameter drain pipe then joining up with the existing poly pipe. As originally discussed. The expense is minimal. There might be three sites on one line and two on the other line. To assist your memory I have simplified the accompanying sketch as best I can (I have no reference other than the 2020 borders drawing). I have attached the sketch to this message.
