3) Treasurer’s Report:
Florian handed out and reviewed the Treasurer’s Report. The General Account Balance is
approximately $5,935, including the Fish Fun balance of $1,326. The Reserve Account balance is
approximately $3,056 after paying Leeder Construction half of their invoice. The only
outstanding invoice is $10,589 remaining due to Leeder Construction for the seal coat on the
lane. Annual assessments will be used to pay Leeder in January or February of 2025, which will
include a modest amount of interest. We could also spend funds yet this fall for a chipper
($500). We also need to check with Angie that we have reimbursed her for new signs and posts
she has ordered. We will maintain adequate funds in the General Account for early season snow
removal, and possibly as much as $5000 to carry over into 2025.
Dan moved to accept the Treasurer’s report. Barb seconded. There was no additional
discussion. The motion was approved by a vote of 4 in favor, none opposed, and none
abstaining.
Dan asked about the lawyer’s report on short term rentals. Florian replied that the attorney
thought our definitions are pretty good: “resident/member” = lot owner and a “guest” is a non-
paying visitor to a resident, therefore not a renter either short term or long term. Any change
we want to incorporate regarding short term rentals would have to be approved as a change to
the covenants or to the by-laws. She could draft language or we could draft and have her
review.
Discussion was held.
Barb moved to pay the invoice to Goldman, Nicholson, and Mack ($325) and to approve the
contract to Neil’s Excavation for snow plowing services in 2024-25. There was no additional
discussion. The motion was approved by a vote of 4 in favor and none against or abstaining.
4) Committee Reports:
There were no committee reports.
5) Old Business:
Speed Bumps: Discussion was held. The Board concurred that all speed bumps should be pulled
up in the near future so they are up before snow plowing is needed. John volunteered to do it
this weekend. Barb volunteered to work with John on a draft letter to the membership advising
them that speed bumps will be handled by the Board as part of road maintenance. The Board
will take friendly feedback from members and consider that in planning where to re-install
speed bumps next year.
Signage: Angie dropped off with Wickmans the signs she had ordered most recently.
Fishing privileges: Florian offered to draft language for a guest letter, Need to mention that a
valid Colorado fishing license is required, too.
6) New Business
AED: Barb reported that the AED she has is beeping and needs a new battery. She has
contacted HeartSafe and is waiting to set up a meeting to get the battery. Need to know
who has the other AED as it will likely need a new battery soon, too. Discussion was held
regarding the locations of the AEDs and how we are managing them.
The Board agreed to set the next Board meeting for early November based on Angie’s
availability, most likely for 5:30 pm at the Wickman residence (900 Pine River Ranch Circle). Barb
will contact Angie and then check in with the Board to confirm a date. She will also inform
Duane Nelson, John Dustin, and Peter Lee, who have expressed interest in attending meetings.
Florian moved to adjourn the meeting at 6:11 pm. Dan seconded. There was no additional
discussion, and the motion was approved by a vote of 4 in favor, none opposed or abstaining.
These minutes were taken by Barbara Wickman.
