OLD BUSINESS:

 

CC&R Review Committee  – the committee submitted their final draft of suggested recommendations for changes to the Board.  After reviewing the document, the Board made a few modifications.  Pat Le Roy delivered both the committee’s suggested recommendations and the Board’s modifications to the attorney.  The attorney will make the determination that the changes comply with State of Colorado law.  The attorney is aware that our Annual Meeting mailing of all information needs to be done no later than June 25th.

 

DUST ABATEMENT – The road is holding up well with no dust.

 

ASPHALT ROADS –  The board was able to obtain two bids for asphalt road work.  After reviewing the bids, the board decided that they would like to have both Jim Clay’s and Angie Pommier’s  opinions before  making a decision.  Both bids include sealing the large cracks and using a sealant as another option. The Board will wait until the next monthly meeting to be held July 11, 2017 before deciding which bid to select.

 

MAILBOXES –  John Dustin is heading this project and hopes to have it done soon.

 

VIOLATIONS –  One violation has been abated to the satisfaction of the board.  One violation remains.  Even though the debris pile(s) have been covered, the tarps are held in place with material  from the debris pile.  The Board feels that this is not a satisfactory abatement.  John Dustin will draft a letter and circulate it among the Board members for their input and approval.

 

DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE FINES FOR VIOLATIONS – The Board will submit a proposal using a combination of John Dustin’s and Pat Le Roy’s draft documents and once the draft is  approved by the Board will become an item for discussion at the annual meeting.  Shirlene Hendrix reported that there is animosity towards this proposal even though the attorney has recommended that there be a reasonable set of fines as a consequence to violations of the CC&Rs.

 

INTERNET UPDATE – No update at this time.

 

LIENS FILED – 2 Liens were filed for additional interest, legal fees, and mailing fees.  The total amount of all liens filed is $5380.43 which represents liens filed against two landowners.  One landowner had indicated that  regular payments would be made but that has not occurred.  A letter will be sent that  since no payments have been received,  the Board may take a different approach.  A letter will be drafted by Pat Le Roy, and will be circulated among the other board members for their input and approval.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

 

ANNUAL MEETING –  The mailing will include a letter from the Vice President, John Dustin; the Proxy; Agenda; Revisions to the By laws.  A draft of the agenda was reviewed by the Board  and additions will be made and approved by the Board prior to mailing.  Ballots for the vote to approve the By laws and for the election of the Board of Directors will be drafted by Pat Le Roy and emailed to the Board members for final approval.  The attorney made have input as to the wording on the By law ballot.

 

Shirlene Hendrix announced that either she or Bruce Hendrix, Claudia or Richard Benzi, and Vicky Mullins will run for the Board of Directors.  Nominations from the floor will be accepted at the annual meeting.
