Treasurer’s Report: Judy Bauer reported the current bank balance to be $6,835.46. All invoices have been paid and all members are current with their annual dues.
Dock Report: Don Sharp reported that the name change on the dock for Lot #2 is still unresolved because the homeowner has not paid the $50 transfer fee. The Board, in a July meeting, voted to pay the Dept of Lands the transfer fee and to add the $50 to the homeowner’s next annual dues bill. Katherine Couture asked to have Don review her dock ownership and make the name change. The current dock assignment sheet is on the web @ HYPERLINK “http://www.kibha.org”www.kibha.org.
Old Business: New sand was added to both beaches. Per the County, we are not allowed to make new beaches or add new sand to any areas other than the 2 beaches currently being maintained. In addition, the Board purchased 2 more picnic tables – 1 for the grass area in front of the homes on Vanilla Court and 1 for the area beginning with the homes on the south end of Boisen Loop. We now currently own 3 picnic tables. Mr. Still asked for an update on the bay dredging. It was reported that with the collapse of the economy, all plans have been dropped. In the past 25 years, this has been attempted 3 times.
New Business:
Tim Moss reported that he would like to add a section on our website to allow homeowners to ask questions and submit recommendations. He is also planning on adding everyone’s emails.
The Board solicited bids to repair Boisen Loop at the north end of the road where a large section of asphalt has broken off. Two bids were received and the lowest from Affordable Asphalt was selected. In addition, since it’s been 4 years since Boisen Loop and Vanilla Court were asphalted, the Board solicited bids to seal coat the roads. A motion was made seconded and passed unanimously to include Vanilla Court in the seal coating. The lowest bid from Asphalt Seal Maintenance was accepted to seal all the cracks with hot rubber and then seal-coat the roads. Tim Moss and Don Sharp prepared the roads for sealing by trimming all the weeks along the road, killing all the weeds with weed killer and bleaching the moss.
Tim Moss reported that we are in need of a more permanent barbecue to be used by the homeowners and also at the annual membership meeting. Currently, the Boisens are allowing us to use their gas grill, but someone has to carry it down to the beach front. Chad Solsvik offered to bring a small portable one to next year’s meeting, but this may be too small to cook for over 25 people at a time. At the end of the discussion, it was determined that, for various reasons, a permanent barbecue on the beach front was not feasible and storing a portable one was not practical.
Tim Moss brought up the subject of problems with guests of homeowners using the community beach front. There was recently a problem with renters using one of the beaches and damaging another homeowner’s dock. We were reminded that the docks are privately owned and other homeowners need to be respectful of this fact and educate their guest/renters.
Tim reported that on July 4th weekend, the holding tank for the Putrens overflowed. The sewer dept determined that there was a break where the outflow met the main line, so all the sewer from homes north of the Putrens was flowing into their tank. After 4 days of pumping and digging, the repair was complete and the sewer dept absorbed the cost. However, a large patch of the waterfront grass was damaged. A motion was made seconded and carried to reimburse the Putrens to reseed the area
Selection of the Board of Directors:
A motion was made to re-elect the current Board of Directors. It was 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.
Respectfully submitted,
Tim Ball
Secretary, KIBHA
