Draft minutes from the February 11, 2025 Board meeting were previously distributed to the Board members by Barb. Barb asked for a re-approval tonight also of minutes from March 2024 and July 2024 meetings because she could not find signed copies. Florian moved to approve the 3 sets of minutes as presented. Angie seconded. There was no further discussion. The motion was approved by a vote of 5 in favor, none opposed, and none abstaining.
- Treasurer’s Report:
Florian Walchak reviewed the Treasurer’s report. He thanked Dan for collecting and depositing dues payments while he was out of town. Approximately 84% of lots have paid, 3 are paying in installments, 2 have promised payment, and he is waiting on responses from 8 to his recent reminders. Outstanding expense items are $650 to Neil’s Excavation for snowplowing and a modest reimbursement to Alisha Luman for two “AED Here” signs. Discussion was held to clarify the amount in the Reserve Account ($555.96 after paying Leeder Construction). Florian moved to approve a $650 payment to Neil’s Excavation and up to $50 to Alisha Luman when the exact amount owed to Alisha is available. Dan seconded. The motion was approved by a vote of 5 in favor, none opposed, and none abstaining.
4) Committee Reports:
Design Committee: No report.
Common Space: John Wickman reported that he had asked Leeder Construction to come inspect the lane and make a recommendation and bid on work to repair, in particular, the areas near the mailboxes that deteriorated over the winter. Discussion was held regarding adding gravel to the edges of the asphalt to support those areas. No action was taken
CC&Rs and By-Laws Committee: John Wickman reported that he had forwarded draft language regarding short term rentals to attorney Lindsey Nicholson for review but had not yet heard back from Lindsey. She had indicated that it would be mid to late March before she could respond. No action was taken.
- Old Business:
Fishing tags: Florian will work with John Dustin to finalize the proposed form of a “fishing license item” to show authorization to use the subdivision’s access and easement for fishing along the Pine River and at the pond in the subdivision. The Board will finalize descriptive regulatory text once the tag or license item is finalized for the Board’s consideration. This should occur by the Annual Meeting this summer so that tags can be explained and distributed. No action was taken.
Signage: A couple additional signs will be installed when the soil conditions allow. Discussion was held regarding the addition of “Private Road – No Trespassing” signs. The Board concurred that these should be acquired and installed. Angie volunteered to look into ordering them and also additional posts needed.
AED/CPR Training: Barb has been in touch with the Red Cross and will schedule an AED/CPR training for PRRLOA members when weather is better.
Package Box: No action has been taken because weather will not allow construction. Barb will continue to pursue a cost estimate so that the Board can consider taking action on this issue.
- New Business:
Discussion was held regarding unsafe/unsanitary conditions on lots at the west end of Ludwig Drive. Angie volunteered to continuing investigating possible actions. No action was taken.
