Minutes of previous meeting approved.

Road Report: Fred and Chad have had conversations with the contractor about the road work. After much discussion and contacting other road contractors it was determined that road work suggested by first contractor were not accurate and would not fix the road. Therefore, it was determined to not hire the contractor to grade and gravel the road this year. The board voted to withdraw the motion to proceed with this contractor. All were in favor.
The board approved the application of a dust control treatment at a cost of $1,200. Chad will contact contractor and have this done after the 4th of July.
Fred Miller reported that he had two road contractors come out and measure the road and give him their ideas on what should be done with the road. The road has not been worked on in about 6 years. Contractor’s recommendations:
Grade and gravel the road. Slight slope on road toward the lake. Put two inches of gravel on the road and roll in. Grade and slope area by pot holes. This would cost around $8,000 for initial year. Then in years two and three grade and gravel at a cost of approx. $2,000 and again in year 4 do a grade, gravel and rolls for $8,000. Dust control will still be a problem.
Pave the road. The cost of paving the road would be around $18,000. Contractor would be available to do individual driveways if lot owners wanted to contract with him for this work. It would be at a reduced rate since his men and equipment would be on site.
Paving the road would cost each lot approximately $300. $18,000 divided by 61 lots. The board has talked with a bank and they would be willing to provide financing if needed by individual lot owners.
Board agreed that road options should be presented to members a general meeting to gather members input.
Next Meeting: June 30, 6:30 at Fred Millers home
