OLD BUSINESS
BRIDGE REPLACEMENT UPDATE – J.D. Burke presented updates. The request for bids have gone out for the cultural and biological studies and have been received back. The cultural study looks for possible artifacts and the biological study looks for endangered species. The Fire Department is not able to get a loan for the bridge expense, so PRRLA will need to be the Fiduciary of the project. The Fire Department will remain the project manager. Florian will be visiting with the Bank of Colorado further to iron out the construction loan details to finance construction of the new bridge. We will be reimbursed by FEMA @ 75% of the total cost. J.D. shared that FEMA considered our bridge to be a serious problem and is anxious to see it replaced.
BRIDGE OWNERSHIP – the original owners of the bridge, New Age, Inc. has 1 surviving partner. He will be contacted to see if he will sign a release to PRRLA giving us ownership of the bridge, so that it can be removed and disposed of. It must be removed after the new bridge is installed.
LOTS 82 & 89 – STATUS OF WELL CAPPING – Florian will check with BP and get an update.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT – We are not yet ready to determine the special assessment, until bids for construction are received.
DAMAGE TO THE BRIDGE BY EQUIPMENT – has been repaired by Robert Hoyt and Chip Burkett.
AED & EMERGENCY EXIT STATUS – Richard Diedrich reported that at the annual meeting the cost per unit for the SED was quoted at $1400, which included up to 6 people per unit trained to operate it and a yearly checkup of the unit.. Since that time he has visited with Steven Bradford from the Fire Department and they are interested in participating with us in this endeavor and can make the units available at considerably lower cost. They are proposing possible annual training and informational meetings. Steven Bradford is a homeowner in this association. Discussions will continue. Susan Wells asked if all units in the FD are ALS (advanced life support) J.D. said they are. Richard then reported on the emergency exit discussions with landowners involved. An exit up off of Ludwig will not be possible. However there are a couple other alternatives to be considered and he will continue to work on those.
MOWING AND WEED CONTROL – has been completed. Chip Burkett, president, penned a mid-summer letter to all landowners in Sub Div. I and II and the Alpha lots reminding them to control the weeds on their properties and to keep tall grass mowed low for fire mitigation and it was mailed out or e-mailed.
HOMEOWNERS CONCERNS – some areas have since been mowed
LPC INSECTICIDE REBATE – still in the process
SUBDIVISION 1 AND A LOTS – ROAD MANITENANCE FEES – Florian is working on the formula for cost of only road maintenance out of the budget for those not within Sub. II.
BANK SIGNITURE CARDS for new officers are being processed. The bank needs an official record of Association officers who are authorized to association accounts. Florian moved that Chip Burkett, President, Jeremy Luman, Vice President, Jeanie Widner, Secretary, Florian Walchak, Treasurer and Susan Wells, member-at-large all be authorized to all 3 accounts for the association. Susan Wells seconded. Vote passed 5-0.
