Old Business:

 

Richard Diedrich had e-mailed the Board that he was working on a plan for Fire Mitigation with the Fire Department.  Mowing tall weeds close to structures is encouraged.  Weed mitigation will be a priority in the spring.  Mowing the weeds and grasses along side the road had been planned but the equipment needed is not available at this time.

 

Shane French will install the new road signs with Jim Clay’s help.

 

Jim Clay reported that the bridge repair was a bigger project than expected and took longer to complete. Thanks to Glen Watson for assisting with the plank removal.  Thanks to the residents for their patience during this repair project, and to those volunteers who helped.

 

CC&R’s violations:  The roof has been replaced on the chicken coop.  Additional, the landowner of lot 19 has plans for a fence and a green house.  These plans have not been presented to the Board for approval.  It is unclear if an Agriculture permit will be needed for the greenhouse.

 

Routine road grading was done after the recent rain and snow.  Shane French questioned the number of hours billed.  Jim Clay will discuss this with Neil’s.

 

New Business:

 

Two bids were submitted for Snow Removal.  Neil’s bid indicates an increase of $10.00 per hour per item from last year’s bid.  JAGCO LLC’s bid shows hourly rates much lower.  Jim Clay will check the references submitted by JAGCO.  The Board may call a special meeting to discuss these two bids, and make a final decision.  Notice of a Special Meeting will be posted prior to the meeting.

 

2012 Annual Assessment:  The Board discussed whether or not an increase is necessary.  Jim Clay asked Pat LeRoy to present a budget to the Board for the November meeting.  Items new to the budget are fire mitigation and weed mitigation. At the Annual Meeting, the Landowners expressed an interest in using the dust abatement material used by Forest Lakes.  These costs will be considered by the Board.
