Kidd Island Bay Homeowners Association

General Member Annual Meeting

Date: August 3, 2019

Time: 11:30 am

Place: Beach, North Walkway

Members Present: 

Tim and Maggie Moss

Don Sharpe

Judy Bauer

Lynn Ciani

Dennese Schumacher

Heather Solsvik

Wanda Condon

Barry and Karen Sill

Russ Niles’ son

Diane and John Boisen

Mike O’Halloran

Tim Moss called the meeting to order.  Members present introduced themselves.

Judy presented the Income and Expense Statement for the fiscal year that ended July 31, 2019. Balance is $4,839.82. No additions or corrections. Neal Schaefer will post on our website at www.kibha.org. 

Don announced that the last vacant lot on Vanilla Ct #38 has sold. The owner is requesting his own dock. The Dept of Lands needs to approve this and per the new owner they are okay with this request. Don, as Dock Master, will ensure all the paperwork is completed. 

Tim reported that It has taken 4 years for us to get our 2 roads seal-coated. Ace Sealcoating finally completed the job with only a small increase from the original bid. However, there are still some spider cracks that need to be cutout and repaved before add’l damage occurs. The roads need to be resealed every 3 years.

Judy Bauer has requested that a battery-operated weed whacker and blower be purchased by the HOA. The one she used to trim the road before the seal-coaters came – so they could see the true edge of the road – was electric and required 3-4 extension cords. A motion was submitted and then seconded by Mike O’Halloran. All attendees approved this purchase. The HOA currently owns a gas grill and a metal detector. These 2 new items will be housed at Judy Bauer’s and may be borrowed by other homeowners. 

Wanda Condon asked who is in charge of debris (downed tree limbs,etc) on the common waterfront area. Our bylaws state that each home owner needs to take care of the property in front of their home. All attendees agreed. Currently all homeowners are maintaining the grass along the waterfront. Per Tim if all homeowners wanted to hire someone to maintain the waterfront, dues would need to be increased.

The Board has researched adding an additional parking area along Boisen Loop. It would be located across from the Miller and Boisen properties on Association land. It was estimated to cost under $1000 to gravel and $2500 to pave. Lynn Ciani proposed adding new gravel to the original parking area and proceeding with excavating the new area. A motion was made and seconded. All attendees approved.

There are 2 dead trees along Boisen Loop on Association property. The Board will negotiate with Nolan Tree service to remove these dead trees.

We are required to maintain our 2 beaches. It was estimated that approximately 6 yards of sand would be needed to make the 2 beaches usable and presentable. Tim Moss will research the cost (approx $36 per yard plus delivery) and ensure this happens before winter. 

Tim requested that anyone having ideas re: improving our common areas contact him through the website: www.kibha.org

There being no further new business, a motion was made by Don Sharp and seconded by Judy Bauer to adjourn the meeting. The members present unanimously approved. The Annual Picnic immediately followed.

Kidd Island Bay Homeowners Association

Board of Directors Meeting

Date:   July 24, 2019

Time:  10:00 am

Place:  Judy Bauer’s home

Board Members present:

    Tim Moss, President

    Don Sharp, Vice President

    Tim Ball, Secretary

    Judy Bauer, Treasurer

    Carol Ruyf, Member at Large

    Lynn Ciani, Member at Large via phone

Agenda:

  • Treasurer’s Report:  

Judy Bauer presented the HOA’s financial report as of June 30, 2019 – approximately $4862. Included in the balance is the payment of $5550 for road sealing. The final financial report will be presented at the annual meeting on August 3rd and posted on our website: www.kibha.org.

  • New Business:

Ace Sealcoating completed the cleaning and sealing of Boisen Loop and Vanilla Court, however there are still some alligator cracks that need to be sealed.

The Board discussed needing to replace the sand on our two beaches. Judy reported that one company indicated they would not cross our dry brook without first inspecting it. Tim Moss will check with Rock Hound that charges $36 per scoop/yd. before the annual meeting. Also need to determine delivery charge.

The Board agreed that another parking area on Boisen Loop would be a good idea and will present it at the annual meeting for discussion and vote. The parking area would be across Boisen Loop from the Miller and Boisen’s properties Association property. It is estimated that it will cost $95/hr to excavate the area. This will assist with fire truck clearance and snow storage.

Don reported that lot 38 on Vanilla Court has sold and that the new owners want to build their own Dock. They reported that the Dept of Lands has approved this. Another owner would be allowed to piggyback on the permit. Pat McQuillan has asked the Board to assist him in collecting fees from co-owners of the shared dock for recent and future repairs. The Docks are owned by the homeowners and the Board will not assist in collecting repair fees. Lynn Ciani our “house” lawyer agreed.

Lynn reported that she’s been approached by a member of the Captain Kidd HOA to see if we are interested in assisting them with weed abatement. Lynn will follow up for details.

There being no further business, Don Sharp motioned and Judy Bauer seconded the motion that the meeting be adjourned.

Annual Meeting

Kidd Island Bay Homeowner’s Association

August 4, 2018

Attendees:  Judy Bauer, Tim Moss, Don Sharpe, Adrienne Putren, Barry and Karen Sill, Jason Heffernan, Maggie Moss and Lynn Ciani

Tim called the meeting to order.  Members present introduced themselves.

Judy presented the Income and Expense Statement for the year ended July 31, 2018.

Barry requested an update regarding the Department of Lands.  Don, Judy and Tim together discussed that the KIBHOA owns the riparian rights regarding the rights abutting the lake.  The Dept. of Lands aggregated all of the privately owned docks together and declared that together they were an association and subject to the requirements for an association.

Lynn asked about the expenses for the fixing the road.  Judy stated that Mike Church is scheduled to repave the road, weather permitting, on Sept. 8 and 9.  He will be fixing the potholes ahead of time with an experimental procedure and, if the experiment does not work, refill them with the traditional method.

Barry requested information regarding the weeds in the bay.  Judy stated that the weeds are elodea, which is a weed found in aquariums.  There is an aquacide available for elodea which can be found on the lake restoration website.

Tim made a motion, seconded by Don, to approve the expenses.  The motion was approved unanimously.  

Don provided the dock report stating in conclusion that all is well.

Jason asked about the ramps to the dock and who was responsible.  Don stated that the owner(s) of each dock is responsible.  Don stated that who owns which docks is set forth on the KIBHOA website.  

It was discussed whether to put the dock numbers at the end of each dock, perhaps making it easier for fireboats to locate the dock where an issue may be.  No decision was made.

Judy read a note of thanks from Heather.

Tim than provide a report as to what occurred during the last year and provided a reminder of certain rules.  He stated that:

  • Kootenai Electric cut down 3 trees and that KIBHOA paid $400 to cut up the trees and haul them away. The trees were on KIBHOA property.
  • The roads need to be seal coated every 4 years and, as a result, it was going to be done this year.
  • He stated that certain members wanted grass where the sand areas were located.  He stated that under the regulations pertaining to the lake that if the sand areas were removed KIBHOA would never be able to obtain sand areas again.  As a result, it was decided to retain the sand areas and to get more sand.
  • Four new signs were obtained for the roads indicating that the speed limit was 12 mph.  The reason behind the 12 mph speed limit was to be different with the hope that folks would abide by the speed limit.  Jason suggested that “Children at Play” signs be used to help prevent speeders.  It was agreed that that would be a good idea.
  • The KIBHOA Policy #0302 was amended to increase the speed limit from 10 mph to 12 mph.
  • Tim reminded everyone that any changes to common areas must first be approved by the KIBHOA Board.

Upon motion made by Judy and seconded by Lynn the members present unanimously approved the adjournment of the meeting.

Submitted by Lynn Ciani for Tim Ball, Secretary

NOTE: Since there was no quorum at the business meeting, election of officers for the upcoming year was postponed. In October, 5 Board Members – Tim Moss, Don Sharp, Tim Ball, Judy Bauer and Rick Littlejohn met to vote on their continuation on the Board for 2019-2020. In addition Jim Ruyf resigned and his wife Carol Ruyf volunteered to replace him. Neal Schaefer and Lynn Ciani also agreed to continue on the Board.

  • 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.

  • Treasurer’s Report

Judy Bauer, Treasurer, reported that 99% of 2015/2016 dues have been collected. One member’s dues are still outstanding and 3 late fees have been added. The HOA checking account balance is $5,532.27. This winter there was considerable wind damage to trees along Boisen Loop. Pictures were circulated. We paid to have the trees chopped and removed. The Board approved an annual budget line of $300 to pay for these kinds of repairs in the future. The HOA’s liability insurance has been increased to $2,000,000.

  • Dock Master Report:

Don Sharp, Dock Master, reported that ownership of the dock formerly owned partially by Walker, now owned by Condon and Schumacher, has been finalized and corrected paperwork has been filed.

  • Old Business:

The pothole on Boisen Loop has been repaired. Tim noted that the road should be sealed every 3 years. So possibly next year it will be needed again. The street signs at both ends of Boisen Loop needed to be replaced this year.

Making Kidd Island Bay a “no wake” zone needs the approvals of everyone living on both sides of the bay. Even buoys would need approval from the County Commissioners.

It was noted that the mailbox stands on the north end of the road are in disrepair.       However, they are on Kidd Island Rd and not on our property so we cannot repair them.

A permit is required to burn on the waterfront unless you are using the fire to cook food.

Open Discussion:

  • A discussion ensued concerning the new parking area across from lots 21-24. There was a misunderstanding re: who would use the area and who owned the area. Tim explained that the parking area is for anyone in the association who needs add’l parking. A sign will be posted indicating it is limited to 48 hr parking and that no trailers are allowed. In the future additional parking areas may be added. 
  • A question arose as to whether or not there is still an active dredging committee. According to Tim, the answer is yes. We were reminded that the state owns the bottom of the lake. 
  • The membership voted to re-elect the Board as it currently stands.  

There being no further business, a motion was made, seconded and the members voted unanimously to adjourn.

Board of Directors Meeting

Kidd Island Bay Homeowners Association

Date:   July 24, 2016

Time:  7:30 pm

Place: Tim Moss’s home

Board Members present:

    Tim Moss, President

    Don Sharp, Vice President

    Tim Ball, Secretary

    Judy Bauer, Treasurer

Agenda:

  • Treasurer’s Report:  Judy Bauer presented the HOA’s financial report as of June 30, 2016.  The balance was reported as $5,722.25.  The end of the year report will include 2 additional invoices for beach sand and road trimming. The HOA’s liability insurance has been increased to $2,000,000.
  • Boisen Loop:  The water district has repaired damage to the road made when a water meter needed to be reinstalled for lot 21. When the asphalt company made the repairs we requested they fill in a large sink hole across from Niles property. They charged us $50 to do this. The parking area across from lots 21-24 was enlarged and excavated at a reduced cost since the dirt removed was used on Ball’s construction site. A sign indicating this area is strictly for cars – 48 hr limit – and not for trailers will be posted. Next year, if the budget permits, the Board will research a retaining wall for this area. Street Signs on both ends of Boisen Loop were replaced. 
  • Sand has been added to the beach in front of the Putrens – 2 truckloads.
  • Per Tim Moss, a burn permit is required on the bay front unless you can prove you are using the fire for cooking.
  • Treasurer, Judy Bauer requested a budget line for maintenance of vegetation on Boisen Loop. This year several trees fell on our property and needed to be cut down and removed. This budget will eliminate the need for approvals in each instance. The Board approved $300 per year.

There being no further business, Don Sharp motioned and Judy Bauer seconded the motion that the meeting be adjourned.

There were 15 Members present

Tim Moss, President, brought the meeting to order. Old and new members introduced themselves. 

  • Treasurer’s Report:

Judy Bauer, Treasurer, reported that all 2014 dues have been collected. As of this date the HOA checking account balance is $5,880.03.

  • Dock Master Report:

Don Sharp, Dock Master, reported that the State of Idaho’s new submerged lease expense is the reason why the HOA dues were raised from $75 to $100 per year.  All docks are correctly assigned and permitted except the Condon/Shumaker dock with is in process.  Don Sharp is also a member of the Water Board and gave a short report. Last week the pumps broke, but are in the process of being fixed. Any questions about water should be directed to Jim Babb, Water Master.

  • Old Business:

We hired attorney Scott Reid this year to attempt to get out of paying the submerged land lease annual fee. The State of Idaho said they were willing to take it to court. So we paid the $150 permit fee and negotiated our yearly lease down to $2385.  Canadian Thistle continues to be a problem on our waterfront.  Kootenai County will loan us sprayers and possible reimburse us for the chemicals in an attempt to get rid of this noxious weed.

  • New Business:

Don Sharp and Tim Moss volunteered their time to spray the edges of Boisen Loop  to keep the grass from destroying the road.  This year we will be patching and repairing road holes and stones breaking through the asphalt.  Don Sharp ordered a new Boisen Loop Road sign for the north end and will install it when it arrives. It was stolen. There is a complete burn ban at this time according to the fire department.

The Board is researching enlarging the parking indentation across from lots 21 and 22. This would require digging into the hill a bit.  The area would then be paved and striped to add possibly 4-5 spaces.  This would be a parking area for cars, not boat trailers. As the budget permits the Board will consider doing this in other areas. Wanda Condon asked about paving her driveway. She was advised to put it in writing and it would not be a problem.

  • Open Discussion:  

We can continue to improve our existing two beaches, but not add any new ones.  Wanda Condon approved access to bring in sand for the beaches via her property. We are checking with the Dept of Lands about using weed killer in the bay.  There was discussion on making KIB a NO WAKE ZONE through the County Commissioners. John Boisen suggested this because of shore erosion which increasing the silt. There was discussion on contacting the other KIB HOA’s. The Board will be contacting the County to see if it’s possible to make KIB a No Wake Zone and what the procedures would be if approved.  The members approved raising our business liability to $4-5 million. Judy Bauer will contact the insurance company.

There being no further business, a motion was made, seconded and the members voted unanimously to adjourn.

Respectfully submitted,

Tim Ball

Tim Moss, President, opened the meeting by welcoming everyone.

  • Old Business:  Tim Moss reported that maintenance on Boisen Loop and Vanilla Court was performed by himself and Don Sharp prior to the professional sealing of both roads. They weeded the roadsides and bleached the edges to kill weed growth. Affordable Asphalt was hired to repair the cracks on the roads and repair a large hole. They then slurry sealed the pavements of both roads. In addition, a pallet of sand was added to both beaches. Tim and Don replaced the stolen street sign on Vanilla Ct.
  • New Business:  The Board conducted a meeting to discuss a letter received from the Idaho Department of Lands regarding State of Idaho Submerged Lands Lease Requirements.  They are requiring us to complete an application for use permit and pay a permit fee of $150 plus yearly lease fees of an undetermined amount.  The Board agreed to hire Attorney Scott Reed to research our obligations and help with permitting.  Kootenai County will provide spreaders for Canadian Thistle weed or Noxious Weed abatement.

The Board has received complaints regarding people parking their boat trailers in front of other person’s property.  In our association by-laws section #4, it states that all vehicles must be stored directly in front of the lot owner’s property.

  • Treasurers’ Report: Judy Bauer reported the current bank balance of $5,027.50. All Members are up to date with their annual dues. 
  • New Business:  We are reminded that additional sand beaches are not allowed, not legal.  Several questions arose concerning the legality of the Idaho Dept of Lands charging our homeowners association for usage of the bay for docks.  Fred Miller reminded us that the common area along the water front is owned jointly by the homeowners.  Fred made a motion that we deed the common area to the individual lot owners. There were no seconds to this motion. It was reported that the peninsula has been purchased and the trailers removed.  
  • 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. A request for volunteers to serve on the board was answered by new homeowner, Lynn Ciani.  A motion was made and seconded to accept her as a Board member. The vote was unanimous.

Minutes from Last Meeting:

  The Members voted unanimously to waive the reading of those minutes.

Treasurer’s Report – John Boisen

 John Boisen reported we have over $3,000.00 in our bank account. 

There are only six members, who have not paid their dues. members.

The Association incurred over $9,000 with our Attorney, Scott Reed. An amount greater than forecasted  last year by both Mr. Reed and ourselves.

Mr. Reed has been paid in full.

There has been great progress over the past 4 years on the reduction   

of past due, which is a reflection of all Members working together, to make this Association successful.

More Members have paid on time this year then in our history.

The Members voted to accept the Treasurer’s report.

A suggestion was made to develop a budget for next year, and the Board will perform and publish on the Web site.

In the past,  a budget was no too meaningful due to the fast and furious legal bill being received. 

Boisen Road Report – John Boisen

Dust control was not applied this year in the interest of cost savings, we did not have the money until just 30 days ago.

The question existed: do we do it now, this late in the season, or wait until next year.

A motion was made, seconded, and the vote was unanimous to wait until early next summer.

There are numerous “pot-holes” on the road. Most are located at the low or dip in the road by Nile’s lots – the water just sits there, and passing cars pound out the soft spots.

A volunteer committee will repair the pot holes on August 12, 2006, thereby saving the Members a great deal of expense.

John reported an estimated cost of $2,200-2,500 to grade the road, add new gravel, and apply dust control.

The Board will develop a policy covering contractors performing construction on the road, tearing it up, and then the Association having to pay for the correction.

It should be the lot owner’s responsibility, who has direct control over his/her contractor, to assume that responsibility rather then the General Members.

That policy is published on our Web site.

Web Site – Neal Schaefer

Neal reported on the vast amount of material listed on the site, which can 

be accessed by all Members.

Our many thanks to Neal for his hard work on this project.

Neal assured the Members, that in the future, when we E-mail to all members, that their addresses are protected, and he is the only one who knows it.

A member recommended that members receive an e-mail of forthcoming Board meetings.

The Board will take this suggestion to the next meeting, discuss the feasibility of posting to the Web site Vs the suggested E-mail, and a decision will be made at that time.

Dock Report – Don Sharp

Don Sharp gave his report: all lots within the Association have been assigned dock space.

He has found Members, who wish to trade their space with another, so their dock is closer to their home. He is presently working with 3 Members on that task and all are very pleased with the fact that we are working in their behalf.

The Board sees its role in the future, now that all lots have been assigned, to work with, and assist Members who wish to trade with another.

New Policy – Members expressing concerns to the Board: John Boisen,     

presented to the Members, this new program, which will

Personal remarks from the Secretary

This was the best meeting I have ever seen as a member of this 

Association, even better than last year, which was fun. We had a large attendance, the Members gave excellent suggestions for the Board to enact in the future – all will enhance our Association.

The atmosphere was very positive and friendly – several Members remarked that we had a great Association, and were pleased to be a member.

Thanks to all of you – both attendees, and those who could not attend for your support and great ideas for the Board.

There being no further business, a motion was made, and the Members voted to adjourn the meeting.

Fred M. Miller

Secretary
