BOARD MEETING

July 18, 2015

Attendees: Brent Adamson, Art Burget, Diane Cowles, Scott Jackson, Lynn Murdoch, Lisa Kindelberger. Guests: Doug Ebling, Carol Ebling, Dave Burt, Lisa Burt, Roy Doan, Jim White.

The agenda was amended to include a discussion on fire protection. Moved by Brent, seconded by Scott. The Board agreed.

Fire Protection

· The contract stating Idaho City will provide fire protection to Duquette Pines for one year was signed earlier this week. Term is Sept 1, 2015 thru Aug 31, 2016. Cost is $12,000. Each homeowner is required to sign a form stating the fire department can enter their property in the case of a fire.

· Art motioned, Scott seconded, board agreed a letter will be mailed with the page for homeowners to sign. The letter will include mention of the valve needed for the fire department to successfully connect to our water system.

· The Area of Impact issue is tabled as Idaho City made a subsequent change to their Comprehensive Plan that makes this solution irrelevant. The Board will need to work on an ongoing solution for fire protection as current Duquette Pines funds can only pay for the first contract year.
