1) Grant Funding: Gordon Ravenscroft, the disaster services point man for the County, attended our June 5 Board meeting, to discuss the latest on the wildfire mitigation grant. He said there's about $15,000 left from last year's grant, and that he feels confident that he'll have close to $60,000 from the second year grant to devote to completing the work on Duquette Pines, including Sub. #4. He may have upwards of $70,000 in additional discretionary funds.

2) Minutes/Financial: The minutes of the May 1, 2007 meeting were approved. Treasea Long reported a checking account balance of $4,112.50 and reserve account of $101,563.34.

3) House Plans:

• Heintzman, Kim and Cathy – Sub. #1, Blk. 1, Lot 23 – Building plans for a wood shed was approved contingent upon confirmation that the structure met the CCR regarding distances from property lines. Subsequent to the June meeting, information was provided to the Board confirming of the above was received. The plans are approved.
• Gribble, Cliff and Beth – Sub #3, Blk. 7, Lot 6 – a verbal request was received by a Board member prior to the meeting for approval to modify the previously approved building plans. Jon Long will contact Cliff Gribble to request that he submit written plans identifying the modifications.

4) Managers Report: Jim White reported the following:

• Roads - Dust abatement: Gardners will be completing the 2^nd application of the dust abatement product on Wed. At this time, it appears that the application is reducing dust.
• Gate: Jim advised that the outgoing gate functioning problems will require either digging up the old loops or leaving them in and placing new loops at approximately $200.00 per loop. The Board authorized the purchase of new loops as being more cost effective than the labor of removing the old loops, with no guarantee that they would be able to be repaired and reused.
• Weeds: Jim has applied chemical to noxious weeds on common property/road ditches.

• Signs: Numerous signs have been placed along the road property – mainly realtor signs. The Board asked Jim to contact the realtors and property owners (if/when determined) of the CCRs regarding the number of signs allowed and the placement of signs, requesting that they remove or replace the signs in the appropriate location.

5) New business:

• As discussed at the annual meeting, Jon Long has been gathering bids on metal buildings for the propose building to house a fire truck. He presented bids of $23,250 for a 30’x 40’ building or $28,550.00 for a 40’x 42’ building. The building is to house a fire truck that the Idaho City Volunteer Fire Dept may provide. The Board is reviewing the options for location (common property) and building type.
• Newsletter: The newsletter will be mailed with the 2007-2008 invoices and the ballots at the end of June. Articles will include annual meeting notes; information regarding the Fire Grant; information on the proposed building to house a fire truck; bio. Information on the Board nominees; and a new gate code.

6) Meeting adjourned
