PANIOLO HALE SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT

October 28, 2011

Members present: George Johnson, John Fernald, Sue Treder, Ralph Treder, Myndi Long (Chair)

Items discussed:

1. Make sure proposed 2011 Paniolo Hale Fire Safety Policy is on agenda for upcoming Board Meeting.

2. Insurance companies are addressing mitigation issues relevant to fire insurance rates. We need to be proactive to help minimize fire danger, possibly avoid higher fire insurance rates (e.g. – tree trimming, removing flammable materials from under units, wider fire breaks on Lio Place as well as east side of Paniolo Hale)

3. Have John and George conduct annual fire hose test with PH staff (probably the week after the Board meeting). Post it so owners can witness the mechanics of how to set up and use hose.

4. Sue Treder will make up a quiz for Annual Owners’ Meeting regarding safety awareness: location of fire hose boxes, items contained in fire hose boxes, smoke alarms, AED location, etc.

5. Ask John Pele about any existing Paniolo Hale evacuation plan. Each owner should have their own plan in place for their specific unit.

6. Get email address list from Sharon Vick in order to email regular safety hints to owners.

7. George and/or John to address Annual Owner’s Meeting about fire safety issues relevant to Paniolo Hale, Insurance Services Office (ISO) and how property /casualty insurance risk is determined.

8. Via the West Molokai Association, the Ranch has been making some improvements to the west end (e.g. – street lights, paving). Enlist their assistance in contacting the Ranch to mow firebreaks on Ranch property surrounding Paniolo Hale (along Lio Place, east side of PH).
