Upcoming Niwot Community Association meetings

The COVID-19 coronavirus has prompted Mountain View Fire Rescue district to close all its stations to members of the public until further notice to protect firefighters and first responders.

In light of MVFR’s decision, the Niwot Community Association board is expecting to videoconference its April 1 meeting, which is normally held in the fire station’s community room. Community members will not be able to attend the meeting, but NCA board members are asking that any comments or questions from the community be sent by email to the board at [email protected].

NCA President David Limbach said in an email that the annual meeting for members, set for April 15 at the Left Hand Grange, is “still a ways off” and the board will make its decision April 2 on whether to possibly stream the event online or hold the meeting. Boulder County Commissioner Deb Gardner is slated to speak at the meeting, but her appearance may also happen online.

NCA officer voting normally is held via email and at the NCA’s annual meeting, and this year board members are considering if it may be necessary to vote only by email.

Membership drive

The NCA is starting its annual membership drive. Memberships cost $30 and can be purchased online by using either PayPal or Venmo, or by sending a check to Niwot Community Association, P.O. Box 72, Niwot, CO 80544-0072. Please include an email address.

Venmo users should check to be sure they have their privacy setting set to private, cautioned NCA membership chair Johnny Barrett.

The $30 NCA membership allows NCA members free access to this year’s May 16 Clean Up Day. In addition, the NCA sponsors Niwot’s July 4 parade, serves as a community voice to Boulder County officials and information conduit to residents on Niwot’s issues, and hosts candidate forums for general elections.
