May 1 Meeting Background Information
Dear Neighbors:
First, I would like to thank the many volunteers who participated in AHIA's Greenscape Events, especially Nina Fischer and Grant Garcia. We enjoy many community perks, because of generous neighbors who give of their time and talents. Thank you.
On May 1, we will gather to discuss the issue of the Williams Drive Dock, and to a lesser degree the general need for a capital facility plan. Our goal is to facilitate a meeting that allows the community to meaningfully weigh the potential options and to decide on a path forward in a manner that is open and transparent.
The newly posted document outlines a few critical issues and choices. It aims to be balanced and neutral. My hope is that by providing this in advance, you will feel prepared to fully participate in the May 1 meeting. As always, if you have questions please feel free to reach out by e-mail or through Facebook. I will do my best to reply in a timely fashion to keep the dialogue going.
Respectfully,
Scott Gibson
President
AHIA

A letter from the AHIA Board President, Scott Gibson, can be found on the page created for the dock replacement here: Williams Dock Replacement. Additional information will posted to that site as it becomes available. Two quotes for replacing the dock can also be read at this site.
