Financials - 

·        Michelle presented the balance sheet as of today's date.  She discussed the amount of financial/tax paperwork that she does each year.  Art suggested to investigate getting outside help to do payroll, in the future.    

·        Michelle released three liens. 

·        Michelle stated she received a Bankruptcy Notice.

·        Checks were signed.

·        Michelle spoke about credit card payments and that it is more work that it is worth.  The Board stated that credit card payments would not be an option anymore due to the cost of fees involved.


Manager's Report-

·        John gave updates from December to current; burned slash piles on Lantern Way, had roads graveled twice due to ice, repaired water valve at 82 Meadow Drive, responded to water leaks at Watson's and Webb's, installed new Meadow Drive sign on upper portion of the road, had snow plowed, plowed to widen roads after the heavy snowfall. 

John stated he has been doing daily recordings of the run times and water usages of the wells.  He has over a month of data and hopes that is enough for engineers to be able to use for their compilation.  John suggested doing preventative work on the well pumps to prolong their life.  Art would like to have information on the financial side of the divisions' water usage to get an idea of how much is used, on  average, per household and what the costs may be for preventative maintenance.

Old Business-

·        Brent stated 0.1mg/gl is the current arsenic reading from the wells and we are within CDH limits.

The faucet and pipe between Zaspels and the well house was discussed.  The faucet is not being used for anything so John was instructed to remove the pipe and faucet, in the spring, and cap it off. 

New Business- 

·        Art asked about an earlier discussion on the Division 4 property owners, that have their own wells, having their water tested for arsenic to send along with the community well tests.  This would be voluntary and at the owner's expense.

·        Brent stated to be thinking about topics of discussion for the annual meeting  in May.

·        CCR's - need to continue working on possible updates.  Discussed possibly having one set of CCR's for all 4 divisions for uniformity. 

Next meeting March 3rd, 2012, 8:30 am at Jeffes' cabin, 248 Meadow Drive.
