Guest – Richard Diedrich
Richard Diedrich reviewed the Bridge Inspection Report. Other inspections occurred in 1988, 1999, 2000, and 2005. Highlights include the following: the abutments are in bad shape; corrosion of the steel members; the East end is not vertical but tilting towards the river; the pier in the middle has scoured and is not considered safe long term. A copy of the Bridge Inspection Report will be mailed/emailed to all landowners in Subd. #1 and #2, plus the other outlying owners who use the bridge. The grant writing process has slowed but Chief Evans is looking for a new grant writer if the former one does not return soon to the Upper Pine Fire Dept. John Dustin was able to assist Richard regarding the valuation of all properties who have access to the bridge. – $26,000,000.00. The recent fire near CR 502 and 245 will have a positive impact on the grant proposal. The FEMA grant will pay 75% of the cost of the new bridge, the Association will be responsible for 25% of the cost. This grant is due Nov. 2018 and awarded in Jan. 2019. Another grant which the Fire Dept. may apply for is the Energy Impact Grant from the oil and gas industry. This grant is two tiered – $200,000.00; $1,000,000.00. La Plata County is the second largest recipient of this grant. The grant is due August 2018 and is awarded Nov. 2018. Chief Evans, if available due the area’s fires, will attend the annual meeting. More information will be supplied at that time. John Dustin suggested that as a stop gap measure an attempt be made to shore up the pier when the river is low and that we attempt to find someone who does grant writing. The Board will investigate what kind of financing would be available to the Association to cover whatever costs may be incurred.

A letter was sent to one Lot owners who have multiple liens filed against their property offering a Payment Plan in accordance with the Policies and Procedures. A response by June 1, 2018 went unnoticed. On Wednesday June 6, 2018 the same landowner brought several checks, each one for $25.00, to be deposited every two weeks for a period of time. This does not meet the criteria described in the Policies and Procedures or the Colorado State document CCIOA. After some discussion, John Dustin moved that the checks be returned to the landowner.
