Meeting Minutes - October 2006
Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting
October 11, 2006
Members Absent: Elliot Simon and Bill Ramsey
Guests Present: Charlie Hahn, George and Gale Klimes, Brenda Elder, and Curtis Smith
Don Orser called the meeting to order at 7:25 PM. Mr. Orser advised everyone present that the meeting was being recorded.
Minutes:
1. The minutes from the September 12, 2006 meeting were presented. Motion to approve the minutes, as amended, made by Art Hanson and 2nd by James Riner. Minutes approved.
Treasurer’s Report: James Riner Reported:
1. For the period ending October 10, 2006:
2. One check was received for back road dues.
Committee Reports:
Roads Committee: Art Hanson Reported.
1. The work on Dey Drive has been completed. Will be placing cold patch to Dey Drive and Lamotte Drive.
2. Working on finishing cold patch application on Persimmon Pear. We have received numerous compliments on the work that has been done. Have had a few questions as to why we won’t just repave the whole length of Persimmon Pear and they were told that it was very expensive, about $100,000 to repave. Unfortunately we cannot afford to do this. The cold patch has been working very well.
3. Culvert on Red Oak has been replaced. Still need to do some grading work. This should be completed shortly.
4. We will continue activity to get ready for winter. Need to check out equipment, order stone dust for the roads and place barrels in various places along the road with stone dust.
5. Have written an annual road report to be distributed at the annual meeting and will post annual roads report at the mailboxes. We have achieved more this year with less money than we have in past years. In years past, at this time of the year, we have had to stop all road repairs as the budget had been expended. This year, we have done more work, and still are in very good shape with the budget.
6. Brenda Elder asked if the trimming was going to continue on Persimmon Pear. Trimming is continuing, it has been several years since the trimming was done and this is proving to be a time intensive effort.
7. In a past meeting, a discussion was held about the disposal of the brush from trimming. It was addressed with the Blue Ridge Acres Community Club about disposing the brush on the field behind the pool in exchange for splitting the cost to clear the field. Art worked out a deal with the Club at a max. of $1000, with the Civic paying half. James Riner has been performing the work.
8. Property owner on Rock Lane, has offered to pay to have a culvert installed, grading and gravel. This has been set as a lower priority but will try get to it by the end of the year, if not after the first of next year.
Legal Committee: Don Orser Reported.
1. The Johnson property still has no water. The other 2 lots behind the house are for sale. Scott Henry still owes on the other 2 lots for sale.
2. We have filed approx. 25 liens.
Architectural Committee: Don Orser Reported.
1. Bill and Don have looked at the culverts that were damaged from the well drilling at the Johnson property. The top culvert is good as a result of Mr. Johnson cleaning it out, but the bottom one (that goes across the barn entrance) needs to be cleaned out. We still have not gotten a response from Valley Drilling.
2. There is another septic problem on Sycamore Road.
3. The address for the civic association has been resolved. The correct address is 1000 Country Club Drive.
ATV Committee – Art Hanson Reported.
1. Gale Klimes brought copies of documents she got through research to have at the annual meeting. This would be information for property owners on the hazards of ATV’s. Art is recommending at this time to just place the signs in the neighborhood and do nothing more. The ATV issues have improved over the last year. If we try to do more, the problem will probably end up being a lot worse.
2. We have the “No ATV’s” signs to place in the neighborhood, as soon as an auger is available, these will be posted.
3. Gale Klimes suggested that there is a need to have more than 1 annual meeting to throw out ideas to the general property owners. Don asked if Gale would be willing to write a newsletter.
4. Curtis Smith offered up some old elevator cable to block the entrances where the ATV’s are cutting through.
Old Business:
1. The Pickering property on Woodburn Lane, still has trailers on the property and these have been there since January 2004. Art has drafted a letter for Bill’s signature that something needs to be done with the trailer. Don made a motion and James 2nd to send the letter.
New Business:
1. None.
Kelly Riner made motion to end the meeting, seconded by Don. The meeting was adjourned at 8:28 PM.
Respectively Submitted,
