Treasurer’s Report – Judy Bauer reported the current bank balance of
$2,360. It was great to hear that for the first time in several years, all members had paid last year’s dues. When dues from 2011/2012 are deposited and recorded, we should have over $5,600.
Road Master, Fred Miller made a report of the condition of the road, and the cause: The damage was caused by trucks with heavy weights, causing the blacktop to flex, crack, and break. Unfortunately, the damage does not manifest itself until 9-12 months later, making it difficult & impossible to pin to a homeowner and trucking company. The current cracks and broken asphalt will degrade rapidly in the future months unless treated. We have received a quote of $1,600 to repair this year. There were no comments or motions.
3. Cleaning up the right of way and stair cases – Fred Miller: A contractor was hired to perform major clean up of rocks, dead brush, and tall grass, falling onto the blacktop, hiding cracks and broken out blacktop. Secondly, the railing on the stair cases was repaired, and a tree that had fallen on the stairs was removed.
4. Judy Bauer weed-wacked a large section of Boisen Road’s right of way, and we have received nice complements from other residents. Thanks Judy for you participation.
5. John Boisen presented suggestions for improvements within the Association including adding additional picnic benches and more sandy beaches. Bill Putren suggested more fire pits be added along our beaches. There were no motions on the above.
6. Snow plowing Boisen Road: Ben Kircher, who plows, the snow, recently wrote a letter to the Secretary, requesting certain changes by the Association:
to help collect from homeowners who fail to pay for plowing (there are two)
to create a safety buffer on either side of the road.
Ben has in fact, less room to place the snow than in the past, due to new homes being built along the road. John Boisen and Fred Miller had met with Ben to define both sides of the issue. The residents are generally favorable of his plowing, and pricing, although the quality of the plowing could be improved with some extra efforts and the Association can assist by taking action on cars parked in the way.
Jim Ruyf made a motion, that the Association develop an ordinance: parking by any vehicle on our right of way/shoulders of the road will be prohibited between October 30 – April 30 of each year, and any vehicles that violate the ordinance will be subject to a tow away. The motion was seconded, and a unanimous vote passed the ordinance. The bill will be written up by the Board, and sent to the residents along the road.
7. Selection of the Board: A motion was to re-elect the current Board, seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
There being no further business at the General Members Meeting, a motion was made, seconded, and the members voted unanimously to adjourn.
Fred M. Miller
Secretary of the Board
