Timberlake Firemen, Austin and Jack, really do everything they can to serve our community. Jack related a story about performing CPR on a person for 20 minutes. We take Timberlake Fire for granted but we owe them a debt of gratitude for keeping us safe and alive. First responders take care of all the on-call emergencies and really deserve our heartfelt thanks and appreciation. View AED Photo
The Council sponsors a community-wide yard sale every year on Memorial Weekend. There are two ways to be involved.
First, for a donation of $10 you can sign up to be one of the homes that are listed on the map. There is usually over 20 homes in Bayview that will participate.
Second, you can donate your gently used items to the council.
The Council Directory contains all the local businesses, organizations and more. The Directory is updated every year.
Since 2013, The Bayview Community Council has been awarding a $500 scholarship to anyone who lives in a 6 mile radius of Bayview and plans to attend an educational institution.
The Council helped establish the Ralph Jones Blvd. Thanks to Alan Rebeck leading the charge.
Highway 54 Litter Free Community Council member, Judi White, facilitates Highway 54 trash pick up. Volunteers meet at the Farragut Park Headquarters for dispersal of safety vests, bags, mechanical hands and a short briefing on our walking sections. Gloves and appropriate foot wear is highly recommended. The more helping hands we have the faster it will go!
Anyone interested in volunteering please contact Judi at njontheroad@hotmail.com.
During Covid, the Council decided the community needed a boost. So, the Council members, the Farragut Fire Department and other community residents organized a “WE CARE” parade and delivered goody bags to the Bayview residents and lots of good will.
The Council agreed to oversee the cell tower project by forming a committee to ensure that the issue wasn't forsaken. It took a community emergency, hours & hours of pleading & negotiations, and years of waiting to get a Verizon cell tower located in Bayview.
(The Bayview Cell Tower Committee Members were: Raquel Kellicut, Richard Doney, Marlys Blagden, Sue Damon, Larry Pegg, Laurie Mauser, and Sheryl Puckett.)
Nick Snyder, Director of Idaho Parks and Waterways thought it was a great idea and he had already researched the location. Nick agreed to make the sign, place the sign and cover all the costs. He was very appreciative for the idea and felt if we saved one life, it would well be worth it!
An active Community Council makes a difference. The Council supported opening the East Gate. The petition garnered over 1,000 signatures. Board member, Sheryl Puckett, spoke at the Idaho Park & Rec Commissioners meeting where they agreed to reopen the entrance.
The Council conducts an annual food drive for the ABC Food Bank through the generosity of our residents at the end of the summer.
