- Treasurer’s Report
Judy Bauer distributed the HOA’s annual income and expense report for August 1, 2016 to July 31, 2017. 100% of dues were collected. The bank balance is currently $ 7,372.39.
- Old Business
A discussion ensued re: the high incidence of weeds in our bay. The Dept of Lands is currently working on Hayden Lake killing milfoil, a noxious weed. They have not responded to our phone calls. The University of Idaho is doing research at the mouth of the bay on our algae. Using barley straw was offered as a solution and also Aquacide. Aquacide costs $80 for 10 lbs. We do not know the name of our weed. Still researching.
Our new parking area is working well. Need to encourage people to park diagonally. Considering chalking lines. Need to research adding another one – Possibly across from Millers.
Road signs we installed last year are still in place.
- New Business
There are 3 dead trees along Boisen Loop. 1 is definitely on HOA property. We are looking for property lines for the other 2. John Boisen suggested calling Kootenai Electric to see if they will remove them.
It’s been 3 years since our 2 roads were sealed. The Board has called several companies to give bids but to date no one has come. The company that we hired the last time charged $5500 and we expect this year’s bid to be higher. We need at least 2 bids. Still calling.
Homeowners at the north end of Boisen Loop have requested that we cover up the sand on the north beach. They would like to plant grass to the water’s edge. This would require the approval of all 61 lot owners. We are grandfathered in to have 2 beaches. Rick Littlejohn will research to see if the north beach can be moved. He is interested in having the beach by his home. Don will report to requesting homeowners that there is dissension and we are working on it.
The Board received a letter from Fred Miller requesting that we consider cutting our HOA annual dues by 50% – from $100/yr to $50/yr. The Board met to discuss and reported back to Fred, via letter and phone call, that it’s taken us 3 years to save the money needed to repair and resurface (seal) the 2 roads. The Board voted to keep our dues at $100/yr.
- Dock Master’s Report
Don Sharp reported that the Dock issues between Denese Schumacher and Wanda Condon have been solved. The Dept of Lands had incorrect information on ownership of their shared Dock and has apologized for their error.
Don has been notified that one of the docks at the north end of our community property is being enlarged. It is being repermitted at a cost of $2075. All the homeowners assigned to this dock will be signing their agreement and sharing in the cost.
The McQuillans are replacing 2 pilings on their Dock and the other owners have agreed to share the cost.
There being no further business, a motion was made, seconded and the members voted unanimously to adjourn.
Respectfully submitted,
Judy Bauer for Tim Ball, Secretary
