4) 2025 Budget Meeting: Discussion was held regarding the status of the proposed 2025 Budget
given that a quorum was not present at the Budget Meeting. Barb read the By-Laws aloud. The
Board concurred that because a quorum was not present, the proposed 2025 Budget will stand
as presented. The proposed 2025 Budget is almost identical to the 2024 Budget.
5) John Wickman asked the Board to hear from John Dustin at this time. The Board agreed. John
Dustin described his experiences with unknown fisherman coming onto his property from an
adjacent house. He believes that the house is being rented out on a short term basis and that
the renters should not be allowed to access his property for fishing under the terms of the
fishing easement in the subdivision. Discussion was held. Florian volunteered to contact our
attorney to discuss the issues, and John Wickman volunteered to contact the County regarding
their regulation of short term rentals. John Dustin volunteered to research possible language
that could be proposed to our By-Laws or CCRs to clarify the PRRLOA’s position on short term
rentals as well as fishing rights.
6) Design Committee: No report.
7) Common Space Committee: The Board agreed that the seal coat on the lane went on well and
looks good. Angie asked why it didn’t go all the way to the bridge, and John explained that there
was too much traffic to take the seal coat up to the one lane bridge. Discussion was held
regarding adding gravel on the edges of the asphalt to support the edges. John will ask a friend
about borrowing a dump truck. The Board agreed that we could save a lot of money by doing
this work ourselves if John could get the dump truck. Florian moved to approve spending up to
$1000 on the road edge work. Barb seconded. There was no further discussion. The motion
passed by a vote of 5 in favor and none opposed or abstaining.

abstaining.
