Agenda
Reading of old minutes: Board voted to waive the reading – all had received a copy – voted to accept the minutes as submitted.
Treasury: President John Boisen reported $3,354.05 in our bank account, which includes paying out the following budget items. These amounts will be posted on the web site and will contain two columns: amount budgeted and amounts spent. This will make it easier for the Members to track our finances.
Bill Putren reported he had paid the insurance of $510.00; we budgeted $600.00.
Bill purchased new road signs for $392.00.
C. Web Site annual fee: we budgeted $170.00, actual cost = $160.80.
Road Signs: Bill Putren will have installed by May 2007. These will reflect the
new speed limit of 10mph, children present and the parking policy.
Past Due: We have just two members past due, and we will hold off on small
claims suit until summer; both homes are for sales, and the title company will insure we are paid before the sales closes and title passes.
The Parking Policy was reviewed, and everyone agreed it has been a success.
We wish to thank all of our members for their participation and cooperation on this matter. The person plowing the road for snow reports his job is both easier and safer.
We have already had one emergency, requiring an ambulance at night during
winter conditions, and it was very helpful to have the street cleared.
6.Communication: while the Web Site has been well received, and a large number
of people are using it to find out what is happening with their
Association, it has become pretty much a one way street. We can not
communicate with the General Members, because we have received only a
small number of e-mail addresses.
Therefore, we will have to continue spending the money for mail –outs – a waste
of the residents money, which could be devoted to more productive uses.
Dock Report: Don Sharp, Dock Master, had sent to the Board members, a summary of his activities in that area.
He is working with members who have had a dock concern and is working to solve these concerns
He then met with Fred Miller prior to his going out-of –town, to update on the latest events. Fred Miller reported Don’s work in the meeting.
There were no questions, and everyone was well satisfied with the progress.
Don has established a nice working relationship with the Dept. of Lands and
has spend many hour updating their records and those of the Association to
insure all lots have dock space.
At the requests of our Members, Don has been able to make many changes in
the dock assignments that are a benefit to those Members, while keeping within
the guidelines of the court order governing dock issuance, and the IDL.
Road Maintenance: There were discussions on two issues: winter and summer.
Winter: Chad suggested, and seconded by Bill Putren, that we have 2-3 plastic garbage cans filled with sand for traction, so residents could apply it to the icy road – it doesn’t take much to gain traction of the slopes.
The consenus was this was a good idea, and the members voted for the Association to purchase the 3 cans and place them on the shoulder of Boisen Loop Rd. – Chad and Bill volunteered to keep full of sand. A great idea and service to our Members.
Summer – Road Maintenance: John suggested we obtain a professional’s recommendation on what needs to be done to the road to maintain it and fix the potholes in the road. Following which, we will contact road contractors the road, and obtain three (3) bids – to include dust control.
The Board voted to authorize Chad to spend a seasonable sum for consultation, and obtain the bids.
The Board discussed the Member’s need for boat trailer parking, and good ideas were presented. We will firm up recommendations to be presented at the next General Member’s meeting for their review and decision.
10.Next Board meeting: Saturday, April 20, 2007, 12:30pm at Fred Miller’s home.
The agenda will include adding new Board Members, who can
actively participate and contribute.
There being no further business, a motion was made, seconded,
and a vote taken to adjourn the meeting.
