3) Wildland Fire Prevention: Bruce introduced Brett Ingles of B.S.U. Environmental Science and Policy Research Institute. Brett advised the Board of grant options and other resources for funding that might be available to DPHOA for fire prevention, thinning, equipment etc. He offered recommendations of the information that will be necessary in grant applications. He will continue to communicate with Bruce to determine viable options/possibilities for funding available to DPHOA.

4) Managers Report: Jim White reported the following:

• Due to numerous leaks requiring replacement of water valves, Jim recommended purchasing a quantity of 10 to have them available when needed and to obtain a ‘quantity purchase’ price break. The Board unanimously approved the purchase.

• Jim has brass tags available to identify/number shut off valves to correlate with the map of those valves.

• Jim has contacted Gardners to schedule grading of the roads.

5) CCRs:

• Loyal identified that some of the fire stands, required by the CCR’s, have been modified for uses other than identified by the CCRs. The Board requested Jim identify properties that are not in compliance with the CCRs. Letters will be addressed to the property owners regarding necessity of compliance.
• Correspondence was received regarding compliance of CCRs in regard to inoperable vehicles. The Board is currently in the process of addressing this CCR violation with various owners.

6) Wells: Due to the cost and requirements for replacing a well, Brent has contacted Dave Adamson regarding continuing to attempt to deepen the well he had worked on in August and Sept. Dave has identified a method that may eliminate the prior problem with the collapsing/cave in area. Brent will ask Dave to provide an estimate of additional costs. The Board agreed that continuing to deepen the existing well is the appropriate choice (versus a new well) if the cost is reasonable (less than a new well).

7) Meeting adjourned.
