There will be a Douglas County Parks and Rec Advisory Board Meeting on 12/3 at Whittell. Some of you may have received an agenda via email.. a couple of items I wanted to bring your attention to:
1. for info: plans for the proposed TDFPD helicopter pad/hangar on the Whittell property.
2. Discussion of MOU re: Tahoe Path System (This may be the bike lane which many on the board desire to route through our neighborhood)
3. AIS stn at Spooner/28
4. Discussion on Warrior Way Paid Parking Program
5. Possible recommendation to extend "No Parking" along Hwy 50 from Cave Rock to Stateline on both sides of the road.
Item 5 has been discussed with our GID before. If any of you would like to attend the meeting at Whittell and share your support for no parking along Hwy 50, you will have an opportunity to speak during the public comment section for that item.
The other topics will likely be of interest to you as well as many of them may impact us directly (positively and negative.
For your information, Skyland has been spending $1300 per year for the no parking signs along 50. Having NDOT implement permanent No Parking will be a benefit to Skyland and allow us to focus on parking enforcement internal to Skyland.

Call for Volunteers
1. We are in need of volunteers for our committees. In the last GID meeting the trustees approved the attached Charter, tasking and deliverables for each of the committees. If you have interest in any of the committees, please let us know. You can email jnyreskyland@gmail.com, or call Janine 775-339-1961 and I will help coordinate with the trustees for each of the committees.
2. We’ve had a number of requests to re-start our Neighborhood Watch program. It is a good time to get this going as we are likely to see a lot of change over the next few years that will bring more non-residents into our neighborhood (lack of parking on Hwy 50, Zephyr Cove Resort operations moving closer to the southern boundary of our neighborhood and the potential of a bike path coming through our neighborhood). Neighborhood Watch will also help to solidify our relationship with DCSO and increase awareness of things impacting us. If you are interesting in leading this effort or being a block captain, please call Janine 775-339-1961. We are hoping to get this up and running soon!

Fun & Family
The Skyland Neighborhood is nestled between mountains to climb, forests to explore and our own private beach! Zephyr Cove Elementary School (K-6) and George Whittell High School (7-12) are just across Hwy 50 on Warrior Way. There you will also find a sports field, tennis courts, a frisbee golf and fitness course, picnic area and our local public library. Just to the south of our neighborhood are walking trails leading to Zephyr Cove and all of its amenities including the MS Dixie. Anywhere you wish to venture, Skyland is a great place for family and fun!
