OLD BUSINESS:

Asphalt Road – Approximately $11000.00 was included in the budget for asphalt road work. John Dustin has the remaining bags of asphalt patch to do the potholes. Jim Clay has several estimates from various companies and will follow up once he returns from vacation. John Dustin suggested that we look into a sealant product and secure a crew to apply it.
Mailboxes – Pat Le Roy was able to secure a free used mailbox cluster and pedestal in good shape from the Post Office. Plans for installation were also obtained from the Post Office. A volunteer crew headed by John Dustin will do the installation.
Violations; Previous violations have either been abated or are a work in progress. One remains unresolved. The Landowner has offered to cover the trash pile with a tarp but that has not happened. The State of Colorado Solid Waste department is involved. The Board feels it needs to wait until the State has issued their report to decide the next move.
John Dustin presented a memo outlining the Board’s policy and process for addressing violations. After reviewing the proposed document, Pat Le Roy moved that the document be included in the Policy and Procedures, second by Angie Pommier. Motion was approved unanimously. Pat Le Roy will have it posted to the website and at the mailboxes.
Discussion – Possible fines for violations. The Board reviewed the possible fines associated with the severity of the violation. The entire Board has not had an opportunity to discuss this matter. Pat Le Roy stated that a fine or penalty already exists for the violation of nonpayment of the Annual Assessment. A 25% penalty (fine) of the assessment is calculated as part of the lien which is filed against the property. See CC&R # 24 and By Law 3.8 (b). The Association’s attorney has said that without a reasonable system of fines (penalty) there are no consequences for violations except legal action which can be expensive.
Internet update – there is nothing to report at this time.
CC&R Committee – The committee meets regularly and has consulted with the attorney for clarifications regarding the By Laws. To date they have not tackled the CC&Rs.
Waste Management – There is nothing new at this time.
NEW BUSINESS:
Notice to File a Lien – Pat Le Roy notified the Board that there are prior liens filed which now require a new lien for additional year’s interest, file fees, and mailing costs. These liens will be filed the end of April.
Annual Meeting – Date July 15, 2017 location to be determined. Pat Le Roy made the point that with such long agenda and the voting for changes to the By Laws that perhaps an early start would be appropriate. John Dustin moved that the meeting begin at 9:00 a.m. second by Angie Pommier. Motion was approved unanimously.
Next Meeting – May 9, 2017 at the Le Roy residence.
Motion to adjourn by Pat Le Roy, second by Angie Pommier. Vote to adjourn unanimous. Meeting adjourned at 8:46p.m.
