  1. Introduction of board members present
    • Resignation of Lori Conaway from the board
    • Explanation of not filling previously vacated board positions
    • Request for interested parties to fill vacated secretarial position
  2. Neighborhood road repair
    • Road committee (Jimmy Smith and Bob Lewis) are getting estimates for short- and long-term road repair costs.
      • Discussed possibility of banning large trucks from entering the neighborhood
      • Discussed possibility of suing 4 Corners
      • Discussed probability of raising dues to cover costs
  3. Treasurer's report
    • Sandee Pelchat gave financial information on checking and savings accounts and passed around handouts 
  4. Responses to anonymous questions posted on website
    • Legality of motorized vehicles in pipeline right of way
      • Neighbors informed us this is private property and that Phillips, owner of the pipeline told them it was illegal and unacceptable to have motor vehicles in the right of way. Will try to get some no trespassing signs posted there.
    • Burning grass
      • It was suggested if homeowners do this a fire truck should be on standby in case of emergency to surrounding property. While burning grass may be legal we can ban it in our neighborhood if there are safety concerns.
    • Fireworks
      • Discussion ensued. Consensus was to come to a compromise and possibly ban aerial fireworks as well as have a curfew and limit occurrences to the 4th of July week. Further discussion will be held and homeowners notified of the outcome.
    • Swing set for playground
      • Monies for this are dependent on our road repair budget as that is a priority
    • Construction trash
      • Will contact BlockOne about this as they have been responsive in the past.
    • No confidence clause and embezzlement possibilities regarding the board
      • We already have a no confidence clause in our bylaws and financial information is readily available and given out regularly
    • Bar ditch north on Douglas
      • We are getting estimates to have this area maintained. Some were told by salespeople that 4Corners would be taking care of this when the front lots were cleared but this is not the case. If nothing else, the weeds will be weed whacked.
    • Violations
      • It was explained that the board is not here to police everyone in the neighborhood and what they do. Fines are assessed for flagrant violations that are brought to our attention. One delinquent homeowner is being fined for non-payment of dues and another homeowner has been notified that his above ground pool is in violation and he has agreed to take it down before the end of the month. If not, there will be a fine levied. Unpaid fines will result in liens placed on the properties.
  5. Next meeting
    • There will be another board meeting before year end.
