1)      Minutes/Financial report: The Board unanimously approved the minutes of the Oct. 4, 2005 meeting. The current checking account balance is $4,935.72 and the reserve (money market) account is $59,028.18.

2)      Managers report: Jim reported the following

  • The incoming gate was broken on Oct. 15 and both gates were broken on Oct. 16. Jim purchased new gate boards. Tom Glass is continuing work on the outgoing gate. The depth of the buried loop is a factor in the repair work to be done on the outgoing gate.
  • ABC Well Drilling advised that DPHOA will need to contact DEQ regarding a permit for deepening an existing well. Jim indicates that the well being considered for deepening is currently producing at a very satisfactory rate (26 gallons per minute for 1 to 1-1/2 hours). He indicates some testing of one of the lesser producing wells needs to be done. The Board agreed that we postpone deepening the well at this time pending consideration of contact with DEQ and Dept. of water Resources to determine the current requirements/engineering necessary for a new well. Brent will obtain information from these Depts.
  • Jim said that a water line was broken and repaired by Qwest.
  • Jim explained the need to modify one of the new water tanks to transfer the water level probes from the old tank.
  • The fire truck will need to be drain and winterized.
  • Jim will be gone for the month of November. Jon Long, Sr. will be the acting Resident Manager in Jim’s absence.

3)      Building Plans:

  • Wydra: The Board approved the plans submitted by Don and Paula Wydra for an addition of a garage to their existing home.
  • Stubblefield: Allan and Noralene Stubblefield were present to advise the Board of their intention to build on their property in Sub. 2. They had preliminary plans available. They were provided with the Building Plans Guidelines and will present final plans at a later date.

4)      New Business:

  • Jim White reported on the BLM meeting he attended with Bruce Reichert in regard to the grant received by Duquette Pines, to be administered by the County. Jim indicated that the contractor will do an inventory of the lots to assess the work to be done. The probable lots in consideration will be those adjacent to BLM land. There will be an ‘in-kind’ contribution required of the individual property owners accepting this assistance.
  • Clint Watson and David Burt expressed concern regarding the boundaries between their individually owned properties and the adjacent roadbeds, easements and rights of way, especially with regard to snow clearance this winter. They also expressed concern about the possible future impact of these issues on emergency vehicle access. Subdivision manager, Jim White, agreed to review snow clearance guidelines with the road contractor, Gardner Company. The board agreed to keep these issues in mind in future reviews of subdivision affairs.

5)      Meeting adjourned.
