A committee of dedicated Fairfield Glade property owners has been formed and will meet twice monthly to explore present and future community issues requiring study and communication.

The "Citizens Committee for the Betterment of Fairfield Glade" (committee), chaired by Gerry Miller, currently has 15 members whose service to the community and Community Club board includes many years as board committee members. The members have a broad range of professional expertise in issues important to the community. All members reside in the Glade with the exception of one nonresident property owner. Chairman Miller said, "The committee's purpose is to bring focused study on issues of current and future concerns and opportunity through the varied expertise of committee members and other resources as required." The committee will stress independent and objective investigations of issues important to the community. The committee is independent of the Community Club board. However, it will welcome the board's support of the committee's efforts to help keep Fairfield Glade growing and prospering.

Another goal of the committee is to emphasize clear, straightforward, factual and understandable communication of issues to residents, other property owners, and to the Community Club board. Through surveys and group meetings, the committee will seek the input of property owners on their vision for the future of Fairfield Glade. The committee plans to act on these surveys by assisting in the development of policies and strategies to fulfill that vision. The committee will offer factual research, pro and con, to assist property owners as they focus on the primary issues affecting our community. Topics such as aging infrastructure, finance and financial reporting, a long range 5-10-15-year community plan and state/county/city legislative relationships have been identified by the committee as important, but the list is open-ended. This initial list will certainly be supplemented based on property owner suggestions and changing circumstances.

Specific and special professional skills and interests are needed to achieve the committee's goals. Among them are long range planning, engineering, public administration, financial planning/analysis, legal research and public relations. If you have any of these skills, or just have an interest in becoming a part of the work of the committee, please call Gerry Miller (456-5792) or e-mail him at madger@frontiernet.net. The committee meets the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m.

Is #5 Alive?
Perhaps you remember the movie “Short Circuit.” There were 5 robots being developed for the military. One of them, #5, was struck by lightning and he came “alive.” After escaping from his military controllers, he developed a gigantic zest for data. It was quite fun to watch him grow and learn to be human.
