Tim Moss, President, brought the meeting to order. Old and new members introduced themselves.
- Treasurer’s Report:
Judy Bauer, Treasurer, reported that all 2014 dues have been collected. As of this date the HOA checking account balance is $5,880.03.
- Dock Master Report:
Don Sharp, Dock Master, reported that the State of Idaho’s new submerged lease expense is the reason why the HOA dues were raised from $75 to $100 per year. All docks are correctly assigned and permitted except the Condon/Shumaker dock with is in process. Don Sharp is also a member of the Water Board and gave a short report. Last week the pumps broke, but are in the process of being fixed. Any questions about water should be directed to Jim Babb, Water Master.
- Old Business:
We hired attorney Scott Reid this year to attempt to get out of paying the submerged land lease annual fee. The State of Idaho said they were willing to take it to court. So we paid the $150 permit fee and negotiated our yearly lease down to $2385. Canadian Thistle continues to be a problem on our waterfront. Kootenai County will loan us sprayers and possible reimburse us for the chemicals in an attempt to get rid of this noxious weed.
- New Business:
Don Sharp and Tim Moss volunteered their time to spray the edges of Boisen Loop to keep the grass from destroying the road. This year we will be patching and repairing road holes and stones breaking through the asphalt. Don Sharp ordered a new Boisen Loop Road sign for the north end and will install it when it arrives. It was stolen. There is a complete burn ban at this time according to the fire department.
The Board is researching enlarging the parking indentation across from lots 21 and 22. This would require digging into the hill a bit. The area would then be paved and striped to add possibly 4-5 spaces. This would be a parking area for cars, not boat trailers. As the budget permits the Board will consider doing this in other areas. Wanda Condon asked about paving her driveway. She was advised to put it in writing and it would not be a problem.
- Open Discussion:
We can continue to improve our existing two beaches, but not add any new ones. Wanda Condon approved access to bring in sand for the beaches via her property. We are checking with the Dept of Lands about using weed killer in the bay. There was discussion on making KIB a NO WAKE ZONE through the County Commissioners. John Boisen suggested this because of shore erosion which increasing the silt. There was discussion on contacting the other KIB HOA’s. The Board will be contacting the County to see if it’s possible to make KIB a No Wake Zone and what the procedures would be if approved. The members approved raising our business liability to $4-5 million. Judy Bauer will contact the insurance company.
There being no further business, a motion was made, seconded and the members voted unanimously to adjourn.
Respectfully submitted,
Tim Ball
Secretary, KIBHA
