The meeting was called to order by Vice President Art Burget at 8:30am at the Idaho City Library.  Board Positions were discussed and voting held: 

                President – Art Burget

                Vice President – Roy Doan

                Secretary – Jill Manzo

Clarification to Article G in the by-laws was provided:  If an alternate runs for the Board during the annual election, they vacate their position as alternate and will be replaced by the person with the most votes following identification of newly elected members.  Based on this clarification, Doug Ebling will become the 2nd alternate for this election period.

 

Ø  Lisa Kindelberger presented the Balance Sheet for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2015.  Also presented were the check register and Profit and Loss Statement. Total assets were stated to be $259,722.41.  Questions regarding the P&L categories were discussed and improvement has been made in classifying income and expenses.  There was a 63.6% increase in Liability Insurance expense – Lisa will review the statements and report back.  We will continue to Lien properties that are two quarters behind in payment. 

Ø  Donna Bates requested approval for paint and trim colors of new construction.  Jon will obtain color swatches from Erbe's and provide to Roy and Diane for approval.  To alleviate any delay, the board agreed to have these members speak for the group.

Ø  Jon provided the Managers report for July – problem with the wells due to an electrical short due to flooding which was repaired.  A water valve on subdivision property was repaired with the invoice coming soon.  The gate was repaired as well as spraying of weeds throughout the subdivision.

Ø  New Business:

o   The water bill for Meadow Lot 13 was discussed:  process has been and will remain to bill each property owner starting when the connection is made.  Once the written complaint is received, Jill will draft a response to the homeowner.

o   Tree cutting on Rosebush for new construction:  Concerns regarding the number of trees removed as well as the ruts from the logging equipment.  Art will talk with the homeowner.

o   Noise/Smell complaint from resident on Bull Pine Road.  Roy and Scott will talk with the owner to resolve. 

o   Process for homeowners concerns:  To better track and respond to residents' concerns we ask that written documentation be presented to the board for review and discussion.  Upon receiving a written concern, the board will address the issue and respond to the homeowner as soon as possible.  Communication can be submitted via the website.

o   Posting of phone numbers at the gate:  This is an "Opt In" process.  If a homeowner would like their number displayed there will be a sheet at the gate.  Jill will update the list as needed.

o   Fire Contract has been signed and first year paid by the HOA.  Signatures from homeowners are needed for the fire department.  A letter has been approved and Lisa will mail to owners with a structure on the property.  Jon has adapters for the water stands if needed.
