The Board agreed that Richard Diedrich could get bids for grading part of the road from upper Ludwig Drive near Subd. #1
FIRE MITIGATION – A group of energetic landowners have done mitigation along the asphalt lane and Ludwig Drive. That group includes: Duane and Tammy Nelson, Jeremy and Alisha Luman, Richard and Angela Diedrich, Chip Burkett, Ken Le Roy, Jim Clay, Steve Harris and Mike and Jolene Arnall. Granville Conway has made many trips to the dump to clear the lot of debris since the piles can not be burned at this time. Going forward, any tree trimmings will be loaded onto a trailer and taken directly to the dump. Thanks to all for your hard work.
POND – Richard Diedrich reported that the pond again has some leakage. He and his son dumped rocks into the leakage area and there is less leakage at this time. Jim Clay was able to add some rocks to the area.
NEW BUSINESS –
ROAD AND BRIDGE OWNERSHIP – New Age Corporation years ago established easements for the roads in Pine River Ranches Subdivision #2. There is no documentation regarding the ownership of the bridge. New Age Corp. is no longer in business. The attorney has recommended that we go forward and establish the Association as the owners. FEMA is asking for this documentation and that the old bridge may be removed and hauled off.

Florian Walchak as POC will contact the attorney.
WEED MITIGATION – Chip Burkett and Aaron Easely walked around the pond and agreed that the applications over the last two years have been effective and that after another application next year, spot spraying would be possible.
