Deltana Community Corporation Meetings Open to Public
Deltana Community Corporation held its monthly meeting on Thursday, November 9th, 2006 at the Clearwater Fire Station. Each term current board members vote and fill positions for president, vice-president, and secretary. On November 9th Paul Knopp was voted president, Todd Zachgo as vice-president—and Julia Phillips as secretary for the new calendar year. Kathy Probert is the only employee of DCC and completes all the grant and meeting paperwork.
Deltana Community Corporation (DCC) was incorporated in 1982 and serves the area currently known as REAA 15, excluding the incorporated city of Delta Junction. DCC provides community services to all residents outside the city limits. DCC is administered by an elected board of directors consisting of nine members. Under AS 37.06.020, unincorporated communities may receive appropriated grants for specific projects and purposes. DCC is also designated to receive and expend state revenue sharing funds administered by the Division of the Community and Business Development.
Board members of the corporation are elected officials of the Deltana region. Community members who are registered voters (qualified voters in the US and registered
in the State of Alaska) and who reside in the Deltana region may vote for their DCC representatives at the same time and location they place other local, state, or federal votes. Community members who reside outside the Delta City limits are encouraged to become involved with the corporation and are welcome themselves to run for open seats during each election. Meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at 7:00pm at Clearwater Fire Station.
Elected members of DCC are asked to report on various topics discussed each month including the following: Roads and Utilities; DREDC; Borough; Policy and Bylaws; Parks and Grounds; Public Relations; Pogo Mine; City Council; Legislative; Fire Department; and the LEPC. For instance, on November 9th the board discussed the possibility of upgrading one of the rural fire stations rather than developing an emergency response center.
Current board members are Paul Knopp, Todd Zachgo, Julia Phillips, Tonia Smith, Shanen Hanson, Pat Schlichting, Nick Herman, Ronnie Lester, and Brian Schaffer. Community members are encouraged to either attend meetings or contact local board members with ideas and concerns they may have regarding all issues outside city limits in the Deltana area.
This month the board of Deltana Community Corporation would like to extend their deepest condolences to the Bowdre family. Russ Bowdre, who passed away on January 9th, served as an active DCC member for many years. He will be greatly missed.

Didn't Ronnie Lester pass away in Mexico? Is this incorrect, or is the Board Member Ron Lester. I thought Ronnie's brother Richard ran for this office in September.
