2) Managers Report:

• Jim White indicated that lightweight vehicles (i.e. 4-wheelers, light motorcycles) might open the outgoing gate, but not cause it to close properly. He will continue to try to determine the cause, and correction.
• Jim said that Garner Construction had graded some of the roads and cleaned culverts. Gardner will be able to ‘rake’ the ditches as they are now however, they indicated that they will have to contact Dig line prior to ‘pulling’ ditches due to phone lines that are too near the surface, to avoid breaking those lines. Jim called the phone company and obtained the name of a contact person to discuss correction of those lines that are too near the surface. Gardner advised Jim that a drain put in earlier this year is working but may need some additional work in the future. Gardner’s will remove marked trees, and clean up slash, after it snows.
• Jim advised the Board that a yield or stop sign should be considered at the intersection of Meadow Dr. and the new Meadow Dr. (going into Sub. #4 just inside the gate). Following discussion, the Board approved yield signs should be placed at that Meadow Dr./Meadow Dr. intersection; at the Meadow Dr. and Bull Pine (the first Bull Pine intersection when entering the Sub.); and at the Bull Pine and Willis Way intersection. Jim will order and install the signs.
• Jim advised that the new 10,000 gallon water tank (as required of WLC, for fire protection) at has been installed. It will be cleaned as required by DEQ in preparation for connecting to the water system. Jim said that the water system was chlorinated following installation.

3) Grant: Bruce reports that the most recent information suggests that a decision regarding receipt of a grant should be made by the spring of 2005.

4) CCR violations: The Board received information regarding the construction of an outbuilding/shed. The Board will review to determine that appropriate information is submitted for approval.
