Agenda

Reading of old minutes: Board voted to waive the reading – all had received a copy – voted to accept the minutes as submitted.

Don Sharp made his report as Dock Master: Dock #1 contains 6 lots instead of 4. June Berquest and Toni Beck represented that dock at this meeting.

Don Sharp gave a presentation as to how, chronologically, this occurred over the past several years, as lot owners acquired additional lots, and thought they were added to the dock – it was quite innocent, however, 6 boats will not fit on that dock.

The Board voted to table this issue until the next Board meeting, and allow the dock owners to explore the various alternatives.

Everyone appeared satisfied that progress had been made, and wanted more time to explore the solutions. 

Fred Miller reported on the Tom Beaton matter involving the proposed new 

garage and our approval of an easement.

4. John Boisen gave a financial report.

Road work: due to the higher than expected legal fees, there are not the dollars to complete the road at this time.

The Board voted to table any discussions on Boisen Road repair until there were sufficient monies in the bank to complete this project.

The Board voted to grant those residents residing on Vanilla Court, a $15.00 dollar credit on next years dues. The credit was their share of Boisen Read repair on which they do not use. However, there is a strong feeling that Boisen Road is an Association asset, and should be charged to all members.

We will propose this to the General Members at their next meeting.

The next Board meeting has been scheduled for June 15, 2006, 6:30pm, at John Boisen’s home.

There being no further business, a motion was made, seconded, and a vote taken to adjourn the meeting.

Agenda

Reading of old minutes: Board voted to waive the reading – all had received a copy – voted to accept the minutes as submitted.

Tom Beaton’s request for variances/easements on proposed new garage.

The Member’s request was two-fold: (1) To build his garage to the property line between his and the Association’s, and (2) for an easement of our property for his driveway.

    Currently, his driveway and retaining wall is on our property, and an easement 

would preclude future expansion of the Boisen Loop Road.

The County Building Department required a letter form the Association, 

approving the above, prior to issuance of a building permit.

The Board reviewed all of the site drawings, and reached the following 

decision:

Approved his building the garage to the property line. It would not hinder future road expansion, as this area would serve as a shoulder to the road.

The Board was opposed to issuance of an easement to the requested area for two reasons: First, it would have could have precluded future road expansion; secondly, the Board does not have authority to give away Association property or to purchase property on behalf of the Association, only the General Members have that authority. We, the Board would have to await the General Member’s Annual Meeting in August or do a mail-out to all Members. This would have been expensive, and since building time was a factor, we decided not to grant the easement.

The Board did vote unanimously to grant Mr. Beaton the right to use the property until such time as we might need the property for road enlargement.

Mr. Beaton agreed to this stipulation.

This was a good solution for all parties involved.

Dock #1 contains 6 lots instead of 4. June Berquest and Toni Beck represented that dock at this meeting.

Don Sharp gave a presentation as to how, chronologically, this occurred over the past several years, as lot owners acquired additional lots, and thought they were added to the dock – it was quite innocent, however, 6 boats will not fit on that dock.

June and Toni added their input, and the Board explored some possible alternatives, which would require some thought process from the dock owners involved.

The Board voted to table this issue until the next Board meeting, and allow the dock owners to explore the various alternatives.

Everyone appeared satisfied that progress had been made, and wanted more time to explore the solutions.

The next Board meeting has been schedule for April  28, 2006.

There being no further business, a motion was made, seconded, and a vote taken to adjourn the meeting.

Board of Directors Meeting

Date: February 10, 2007

Time: 12:30PM

Place: Fred Miller’s Home

Board Members Present:

Bill Putren

Chad Solsvik

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.

There were 14 Members present.

There were 8 proxies received, representing 10 lots.

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

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 4^th 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.

New Business:

Toni Beck noted that the mailboxes at the north end of Boisen Loop are in disrepair. They are falling apart. The Board cannot assist with fixing them because they are not on Association property. It was suggested that those affected take care of the problem.

Don Sharp reported that the picnic tables purchased last year have been popular and other homeowners have requested one.  A motion was made, seconded and passed to order two (2) more matching tables to be placed in front of homes on the south end of the bay and in front of Littlejohns.

Sand for the two current beaches was discussed. A motion was made, seconded and passed to order more sand to enhance the two beaches. It was also discussed that two more beaches be added. Littlejohns were in favor of one in front of their home as was Denise Schumaker. This will be researched by the next Board.

Boisen Loop is in need of sealing. Also, it was discussed that the weeds along the road be sprayed so that they are not detrimental to the road. This will be determined by the next Board.

Bill & Adrienne Putren 10

There were 19 Members present.            

John Boisen, President, opened the meeting.

Treasurer’s Report – Judy Bauer reported the current bank balance of 

$2,360. It was great to hear that for the first time in several years, all members had paid last year’s dues. When dues from 2011/2012 are deposited and recorded, we should have over $5,600.

Road Master, Fred Miller made a report of the condition of the road, and the cause: The damage was caused by trucks with heavy weights, causing the blacktop to flex, crack, and break. Unfortunately, the damage does not manifest itself until 9-12 months later, making it difficult & impossible to pin to a homeowner and trucking company. The current cracks and broken asphalt will degrade rapidly in the future months unless treated. We have received a quote of $1,600 to repair this year. There were no comments or motions.

3. Cleaning up the right of way and stair cases – Fred Miller: A contractor was hired to perform major clean up of rocks, dead brush, and tall grass, falling onto the blacktop, hiding cracks and broken out blacktop. Secondly, the railing on the stair cases was repaired, and a tree that had fallen on the stairs was removed.

4. Judy Bauer weed-wacked a large section of Boisen Road’s right of way, and we have received nice complements from other residents. Thanks Judy for you participation.

5. John Boisen presented suggestions for improvements within the Association including adding additional picnic benches and more sandy beaches. Bill Putren suggested more fire pits be added along our beaches. There were no motions on the above.

6. Snow plowing Boisen Road: Ben Kircher, who plows, the snow, recently wrote a letter to the Secretary, requesting certain changes by the Association:

to help collect from homeowners who fail to pay for plowing (there are two)

to create a safety buffer on either side of the road. 

Ben has in fact, less room to place the snow than in the past, due to new homes being built along the road. John Boisen and Fred Miller had met with Ben to define both sides of the issue. The residents are generally favorable of his plowing, and pricing, although the quality of the plowing could be improved with some extra efforts and the Association can assist by taking action on cars parked in the way.

Jim Ruyf made a motion, that the Association develop an ordinance: parking by any vehicle on our right of way/shoulders of the road will be prohibited between October 30 – April 30 of each year, and any vehicles that violate the ordinance will be subject to a tow away. The motion was seconded, and a unanimous vote passed the ordinance. The bill will be written up by the Board, and sent to the residents along the road.

7. Selection of the Board: A motion was to re-elect the current Board, 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.

2. Treasurer’s Report – Tim Ball, represented by Judy Bauer

Tim Ball was absent, and he make arrangements for Judy Bauer to present his report: we have $1,007.78 in our bank account. 

John Boisen indicated that the priorities for this year are to pay off the road loan and finish the legal work with our attorney to complete the legal work for the ownership of Boisen Road, and strengthen the incorporation of the association. 

This will allow the members to more effectively control renters, and abusers of our road. The sheriff will not enforce laws on our road without our compliance of certain legal requirements.

John Boisen also opened a discussion on what should be done in the future.  He suggested that we look at enhancing our beach and swim areas, widening the road shoulder so we have more room to park cars and trailers and using the dirt removed from the shoulder to fill and area that the association owns to create a parking area.   

These and other items will be looked into by the board and probably be discussed at the next general meeting.

7. Election of Board Members

Minutes from Last Meeting:

1. A motion was made, and seconded, to waive the reading of these minutes. 

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

2. Treasurer’s Report – Tim Ball

Tim Ball reported we have $3,200 in our bank account. 

There is only one member, Allen, who has not paid their dues. That home is under foreclosure, and will be paid by the bank.

There has been great progress over the past 5 years on the reduction  

Of past due, this 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 bank loan balance for the road = $3,800.

Money outflow for the next year: one more annual road loan payment of $2,000, insurance, final payment of legal fees, and a road repair. 

3. Road Report – Fred Miller

0The drain in the road has been broken, and there are three large cracks in the blacktop. Joe Hall Paving, the contractor who did the road, inspected it, and rendered the opinion that a large, heavy truck caused the damage. We have had one new home built in the past two year, and they had heavy cement trucks driving down the road. 

We believe we know the culprit, but can’t prove it. Secondly, we do not yet have the legal means to force a bond.

More on this in the next agenda item: Legal.

4. Legal – John Boisen

    The legal expense is from two areas: road and by-laws.

     Road: When the judge set up the Association many years ago, he neglected to include the road, hence, who owns the road?

The Board met, and passed an amendment to the by-laws, adopting the road as our property. Scot Reed will file the documents with the court house.

Other legal matters: we have road, beach, and rental policies, adopted to protect our members. Mr. Reed informed us that a court decision required these be changed to amendments of our by-laws. The Board met, adopted those changes to the by-laws, and Mr. Reed is filing those changes, which will include filing on each lot.

Scot completed half of this project over the winter, and since the Association id not have the money to pay his entire bill, we all decided to await the availability of funds to pay him.

5. Increased Dues: – John Boisen

    The Board at our June meeting, reviewed our financial position, and the monies that have to be spent in the coming months, and made the decision to increase the dues, to prevent a short-fall.

The members at this meeting agreed with that decision.

6. Snow plowing of Boisen Road

    There was discussion regarding the Association assume the responsibility of contracting for this task. 

Fred Miller pointed out that if the Association contracts with a firm, they must have insurance, and license, which would cost more money. There was a general agreement that the current system is working well, so leave it alone.

7. Election of Board Members

The Members voted unamiously to reelect the current Board Members. A Board meeting was conducted at the same setting, following this meeting, for the purpose for the election of officers. The same officers were re-elected. There being no further matters, the Board meeting was adjourned.

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

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

2. Treasurer’s Report – Tim Ball

Tim Ball reported we have $2,743.90 in our bank account. 

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

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

of past due, this 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 bank loan balance for the road = $8,099.55.

3. Pathway Report:

Fred Miller reported that Rohan Construction had quoted us $1,336.00 to repair the North pathway. When he inspected both paths, he found the South pathway was bad, and dangerous. He rebuilt that path. Jim Ruyf reported, that is much improved, and in good shape.

North pathway: he rebuilt as best as he could, but could not regrade the dirt, because of the numerous tree roots contained therein. He did not want the liability of a tree dying, and falling on someone’s home.

A permanent fix is a complete wooden staircase from the road to the grass areas, which would be above our budget for this year. The Board will look at this for a possible item for next year.

In the meantime, the path is much improved, and passable.

The contractor repaired both paths for the quoted amount, which we are pleased.

4. Road Report – Fred Miller

 Fred Miller made a brief report on the results of the paving of Boisen Road. Some residents expressed a concern over the suddenness of the job after our last Annual Meeting. The answer was that, the asphalt plants close in October for the season, and the contractor had one cancellation, which jumped on it. Had we waited until this year, the costs would have doubled.  Everyone has expressed compliments on the results, and this writer, who worked on that project, appreciated the nice compliments from June Berquest.

5. Problems with Renters:

John Boisen led this portion of the meeting. There were several complaints from the members over the conduct of the renters, a problem that has increased over last year. One case, the sheriff had to be called.

The list ran from pit bulls running loose, 20-30 people renting one house, and causing a scene on the beach, overloading the road, trespassing, and etc.

It has become evident, that the landlords are engaged in commercial operations, and do not care about the welfare of the neighbors. The landlord’s house is strictly a business from which they extract rent at our expense.

There are currently 6 houses identified as rentals, with one charging a reported $6,000 per week, and is past due two years of dues and road payments. We will be filing a lawsuit for the collection of our funds.

There was discussion on what other associations have done regarding this problem:

Russ Niles reported that a group at Rockford Bay allows only annual leases – no weekend rentals.

Don Sharp reported that Captain Kidd Association charges almost double the dues for rental property.

Fred Miller reported that our attorney, Scott Reed represents an association near Spirit Lake, who has banned rentals, period. It has been tested, and stands up in court.

There is a growing trend to significantly increase the dues on rentals in the area.

The General Members expressed a general feeling that the landlord and their rentals had caused significant problems that affected the rest of the neighbors, and the landlords should pay greater annual dues to offset the expenses and aggravation.

Personal remarks from the Secretary

 Last year, I reported that would be my last year as Secretary due to blindness. Well folks, I have been pressed into service again. I have taken training through the Commission of the Blind, and can use a computer and type – someone must have found out about that, and here I am back in the job.

Thanks for all of your help in the past, and I could use some in the future – I will try to do a good job for our Association.

3. Boisen Road Report – Fred Miller

    The road is in poor condition, and needs repair/rebuilding – to ignore it will cost us more expense in the future.

Fred presented both short-term, and long-term options:

Grade and gravel: The less expensive in short-term, but much grater expense in the long-term. It will require annual grading, and dust control.

Blacktop: Greater initial expense, but , once done, it reduces maintenance annual expense over the next five years.

The cost is estimated $20,000, which can be financed by a local bank over a 4 year term.  

The lots who would pay for it, are those facing on Boisen Road.

For the lots who wish to go on a payment plan, the annual cost is $77.00, and for those who wish to pay cash, the cost is $235.00.

A motion was made, and seconded, to blacktop the road. A vote was taken with 28 lots in favor, and 5 no votes.

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.

This wills my last act as your secretary. I am visually impaired and legally blind, and at this time, can not do justice to this office. I will continue to serve on the Board, and support our Association to the best of my ability.

Fred M. Miller
