– President: Jim brought up information regarding insurance companies currently undergoing a review of their ISO rating schedules. There was much discussion on ways to ensure Wissler Ranch maintains a low ISO rating to include mitigation, cisterns, etc. Homeowners are encouraged to contact their individual insurance companies to see if there are any changes to their personal policies. Jim also mentioned that there is a bill “on the floor” to increase available grant money for fire wise purposes. He will keep us posted on both issues.
