- Common Space Committee: Discussion was held regarding an estimate from Neil’s Construction for additional road related work in the subdivision. The Board concurred that the estimate was not sufficiently detailed to allow decisions to be made. Dan volunteered to discuss the proposed projects with Duane Nelson and request a more detailed estimate from Neil’s. No action was taken.
Work Days: The Board concurred that Duane Nelson should continue managing this project.
Wood chip pile: Discussion was held regarding a large pile of chipped wood material left on the subdivisions lot near the pond. Florian volunteered to ask the neighbors who created the pile about their further intentions.
Property sales: Florian noted that three lots between the bridge and the “Y” with Pine River Ranch Circle have recently been sold. He has contact information but has not heard of any intentions to develop.
Signs: Barb noted that in April John Wickman installed the remaining signs which Angie had procured for the subdivision.
Pick Bar signs: Discussion was held about the “No Parking” signs installed by the Pick Bar Ranch in front of their gate by their hay barn. Angie volunteered to call the Pick Bar to ask, in the spirit of being good neighbors, why those signs have been installed.
Fishing Permits: Florian distributed a draft form for a fishing permit to document persons who are lot owners or authorized guests thereof for fishing in the subdivision. Suggestions were made. Florian will refine his draft permit and discuss it further with John Dustin, who has been involved in developing these permits.
Package Box: Discussion was held. The Board concurred that the cost is probably too high to make this a priority at this time.
AED/CPR Training: Barb reported that she has not scheduled this due to lack of time in her own schedule. She has the Red Cross’s contact if anyone else wants to hold such a training. She said she could ask the Red Cross to have someone come to the annual meeting for a brief presentation about their trainings, which the Board concurred with.
- Annual Meeting: Barb reported that she had confirmed with the Clays that July 26 will work with them for hosting the annual meeting. Cheryl Clay sent Barb a task outline which has been used in past years to help with planning. The Clays plan to attend the Board’s June meeting to participate in further planning.
- New Business: Discussion was held regarding damage to the wire cage which protected the inflow end of the culvert under Pine River Ranch Circle at the “Y”. Board members have also noted and been asked about the continued existence of at least one floor mat and other debris in the water at that location. Board members related what they saw the evening of the vehicle rollover into the water at the Y and agreed that the subdivision should get the wire cage replaced and request reimbursement from the household responsible for the damage to the cage as well as requesting that they remove the debris. Florian volunteered to draft and email a letter.
