5/16/2010 Board Minutes

Pine River Ranches Landowners Association
Minutes of the Meeting of May 16, 2010
900 Pine River Ranch Circle
1) Meeting was called to order at 7:55 pm. Board members in attendance: John Wickman, Barb
Wickman, Mike Walcher. John Wickman chaired the meeting.
2) Agenda was read by Barb Wickman and approved by the Board by acclamation.
3) The minutes of the Board meeting of 5/12/10 were circulated. Mike made a motion to approve
the minutes as presented, and Barb seconded. The motion was approved 3-0.
4) Barb reviewed the Association finances , specifically the invoices related to the Bear Creek
culvert repair: (Neil’s Excavation,$23,098.20 remaining and SW Ag, $52.45. The Association
received a bid from Four Corners Asphalt to repair the Bear Creek area and do addition patching
on the lane for $17,093.75, with patching at Bear Creek about half the cost. Four Corners could
do more asphalt for us if we did it on one mobilization of equipment.
The Board discussed a Special Assessment to raise funds to pay the Bear Creek culvert repair
invoices. Barb reported on the calculations she had made regarding assessments of various
levels. If a bare majority of lots in Subdivision 2 approved a Special Assessment of $350 and paid
immediately and if a few other lots which use Ludwig also contributed, then the PRRLOA will
have enough money to pay Neil’s and SW Ag but not for asphalting. Asphalting and other road
repair could be done as other payments come in. Mike Walcher moved to recommend approval
of a Special Assessment of $350, with a request that landowners contribute slightly more if they
are able to in order to pay for asphalting and other road repairs as the funds come in. John
seconded the motion. The Board then directed Barb Wickman to prepare a letter announcing
the Special Assessment to mail to all lot owners and other road users as soon as possible.
5) Barb led discussion of the annual meeting. The Board agreed that it would be efficient to send
out the announcement of the annual meeting with the Special Assessment letter. Barb was
directed to draft an announcement, to call the UPFD to request use of their CR 501 firehouse for
the meeting, and to purchase such office supplies and stamps as necessary to handle the
mailing.
6) The new bulletin board volunteered by Rod Potter was discussed. Barb will ask Richard if he has
heard from Rod about this project.
7) John stated that he will blade the dirt roads in the subdivision once his tractor is repaired.
8) Barb motioned to adjourn at 8:27 pm. Mike seconded. Motion approved 3-0.
These minutes were approved by the Board by a vote of _______ on ______________________.
