Location: Boise Basin Library, Idaho City, Id

Board Members Present: BrentAdamson, Theresa Mann, Elizabeth Martin, Loyal Willis

1) Minutes: Following a motion by Elizabeth, seconded by Loyal, the minutes of the Aug. 5, 2003 meeting were unanimously approved as written.

2) Financial: Checking account balance - $5,731.54 with $2,815.00 collected, to be deposited. Reserve account balance of $63,636.31.

3) Managers Report:

· Jim reported that he would be purchasing a meter from Consolidated.

· Jim will obtain applications to open accounts at Consolidated and Home Depot to expedite purchases of materials.

· Jim met with RDC (fire prevention) – they will be in Duquette to evaluate potential properties for use as examples/education of their project (mulching) and consideration for access to a portion of their grant monies. A ‘fire plan’ will have to be identified for our area. This doesn’t require commitment or involvement of the DPHOA, rather individual owners may become involved.

· Jim repaired the valve leak in Sub. 1

· Wells: Dave Adamson attended the Board meeting to provide information regarding the current attempt to deepen one of our wells. They identified that between 480 feet and 600 feet there was a good source of water. He indicated that, while attempting to put in new PVC, at approximately 340 feet they hit a rock. After numerous attempts to remove the old liner and deepen the well, they continued to hit rock and collapsing walls. Due to probability of continued problems with collapsing, Dave recommended the Board discontinue the attempt to deepen that well and consider replacing the well with another in the same area. He indicated that, when digging in a new area, he can move past the area that is collapsing by use of perforated steel casing. He suggests either a 6 inch or 8 inch diameter well. To eliminate the costs of engineering required of a new well, he suggested the Board contact DEQ and advise that we want to replace a well and ask if the Dept. of Water Resources could provide any necessary inspections. Dave also recommended that, due to the age of the pumps, they be replaced them on any replacement well or well that we deepen. He will assess the potential areas for consideration for a replacement well. Dave can provide an estimate of the cost for a new well (he offered a rough estimate of approximately $18,000.00 - $20,000.00). The Board will review options, determine access to property (ownership) and contract DEQ for additional information.

4) Correspondence:

· Loyal provided information that the phone company contacted Duquette Pines Inc.

(Loyal) indicating that, when the new wire to the well was being placed, a phone line was cut. Loyal responded to Qwest advising that DPHOA (rather than Duq. Pines Inc.) is the entity that contracted the digging that line and they should contact DPHOA. Jim was not aware of a line being cut however, if Qwest pursues this through DPHOA, we will determine if any damage was done at the time of the digging and then determine who would have responsibility (Dig Line; Gardner Co., or DPHOA).

5) WLC: Loyal spoke with Brad Stone and was advised that the posts that will support the new sign should be standing by Sept. 8, 2003. The electrical work for the gate will begin on Sept 6, 2003. He said it would be two to three weeks before the gates are operational.

6) DPHOA/WLC proposed property exchange/road easement. A meeting will be scheduled with DPHOA attorney to finalize a proposal.

7) CCR violations: Junk cars – letters have been addressed to property owners with inoperable vehicles not housed in an approved enclosure. Ken and Carol Kirkland attended the meeting to address the Board regarding what appears to be inoperable vehicle in Sub. # 3. The Board will determine ownership of the property and address the appropriate letter to the owner.

8) Newsletter: It was decided to postpone the newsletter pending further information regarding plans for the well and possible WLC/DPHOA property exchanges.

9) Meeting adjourned
