Mission Statement
The mission of the Edelweiss Maintenance Commission is to maintain a peaceful, welcoming and safe community environment for all EMC property owners and guests.
Purpose Statement
The EMC Board purpose is to supervise our management staff, enforce EMC bylaws and CCRs, and provide fiscal oversight to sustain all EMC facilities and infrastructure over the long term.
Code of Conduct
The Board developed a Code of Conduct that outlines best practices to help guide ethical board behavior.
Committees
The Board has four committees that contain at least one board member and numerous interested community members. Committee Reports are attached to each Board Meeting agenda. The Committees and their purposes are as follows:
Architectural Control Committee
The mission of the Edelweiss Maintenance Commission Architectural Control Committee (ACC) is to manage a clear and fair design review and control process that guides architectural compatibility and compliance within the Edelweiss community to preserve the attractiveness, livability, character and environmental quality that originally attracted its residents to Edelweiss. This is accomplished through maintaining and administering the architectural standards contained in the Architectural Control Manual.
Finance Committee
The Finance Committee will review all EMC financial matters (fees, assessments, and budgeting), and will provide recommendations to the Board for approval. The Finance Committee shall not directly oversee management of EMC funds, as that is the role of the Treasurer.
Firewise Committee
The Firewise Committee is directed by the Board to prepare Edelweiss for fires of all sorts, especially wildfires. It focuses on achieving outcomes in the form of staged plans and best practice educational materials that are easy to understand and take action on. A key metric of success will be the percentage of all Edelweiss lands that have reached minimum Firewise USA standards of preparedness.
Roads Committee
Provide the Edelweiss board with safe, cost effective options to maintain and improve roads that serve the Edelweiss community.
