Jackie Fioretti advised someone is interested in donating their property to TDC.  The taxes are 
paid up to date but there is a lien on the property of $5xx.xx from the Timberon Water and 
Sanitation District.  After discussion, Donna Millar made a motion to send a letter to the owners 
stating we would accept the property and after it is donated we will pay the lien for the water 
standby fees.  Bill Gideon seconded the motion.  The motion passed.  

The Timberon Airstrip paving is scheduled for completion in August.  

Our volunteer workday on the Mary Glover Park was rained out so we will reschedule this.  
Everett would like to publicly thank Paul Goss for the beautiful work he did on refurbishing the 
old benches in the Mary Glover Park.  The new benches will be placed soon.  We have been 
awarded another grant from the New Mexico Association of Counties in the amount of 
$25,878.00 to finish the parks project by July 31, 2008.  There was discussion on providing 
restroom facilities and trash cans in the Mary Glover Park.

The Timberon Water and Sanitation District is renting the lodge for $100.00 plus a $50.00 
cleaning fee.  There was discussion on this and Donna Millar made a motion to meet at the 
Timberon Development Council Office each month.  B.F. Adams seconded the motion and it 
passed.  

The State Forestry Thinning Grant is moving very slowly.  Homeowners can still thin their own 
property as long as they complete the project within ninety days.  Gwen Adams made a motion 
to create a web site on the TDC web for before and after photos to generate interest in the 
thinning.  John Howell seconded the motion and it passed.  

Scott Millar, Post Commander of the VFW in the Sacramento Mountains gave a presentation on 
the two scholarships supported by VFW.  Voice of Democracy is a scholarship for high school 
students up to $30,000.00.  Patriots Pen is a scholarship for middle school up to $10,000.00 
Savings Bond.  There is support for donations for prizes at the local level of $50.00, $100.00 and 
$200.00.  VFW has also adopted a National Guard Unit which 25 of their 70 members are going 
to Iraq.  Operation UpLink is a phone card fund raising program which enables those who serve 
to call home.  Scott and Donna Millar are very active in VFW and we wish them well in their 
endeavors for the post.  Scott also mentioned Boy Scouts are available to help us with the 
voluntary work on the parks.  He needs a months notice in order to set this up.

We are having problems with our weather station as the computer is locking up periodically and 
preventing the weather station to update on the web as often as we would like it to do.  Scott 
Millar is working on this for the Timberon Development Council.

A motion was made by B.F. Adams to adjourn at 11:00 am. and seconded by Harold Spofford.  
The meeting adjourned.  These meetings are held the second Saturday of each month at 10:00am 
at the Timberon Development Council Office, 1841 Sacramento Drive.  They are open meetings 
and everyone is invited to attend.

Respectfully submitted,
Jackie Fioretti, Secretary
