Minutes of the 12 February 2007 meeting were read and accepted as presented. The report was voted upon unanimously after a motion to accept by Phyllis Moore and seconded by Frank Chuba.
Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer Bill Martin reported a bank balance of $9,544.69. 90 donations have been made so far, for a total of $330.00. Expenses to date total $329.16 The Association income tax has been filed and there is no liability. Frank Chuba made a motion to accept the report, it was seconded by Phyllis Moore and voted upon unanimously by the Board.
Architectural Control: Randy Barker and Patti Farley-Barker of 4840 Abo Lane submitted a request for permission to extend a present deck at their residence. They submitted a drawing of the proposal and a check for $25.00. The fee should have been $42.00 and Architectural Chairman Frank Chuba will inform them of the difference. The plan was approved unanimously, pending payment of the remainder of the fee, after a motion by Frank Chuba and a second by Phyllis Moore.
Kelly McGuire presented extensive plans for a 3040 square foot addition to his existing house which will be two stories high and have an inside elevator. The exterior will match the present house and the shake shingles will be replaced by either a metal roof or fire resistant shingles. An El Paso County permit has not been issued at this time. The Board unanimously approved giving Frank Chuba the authority to approve construction once the county permit is in place and the required fee is paid.
Old Business: The Association Park flagpole has again been straightened by residents John Novotny and Carl Gusler, but their feeling is that it is now weakened to the point that it will not stand straightening again and will need to be replaced. The Board expressed its thanks to the dedicated work of these two men.
The return receipt from a letter sent to El Paso County Commissioner Wayne Williams concerning road conditions on the Ranch was received- it was dated 15 February 2007. Other than that receipt, there has been no communication from the Commissioner as of this date.
Bill Martin brought up the subject of the tennis court. After discussion it was agreed that resurfacing is too expensive for the small amount of use that has been noted. The fence surrounding the court is also in need of repair and painting. It was agreed that patching the cracks on the surface and repainting it along with fence repairs should be done at one time. In light of finances, it was agreed to wait until June to see if more voluntary dues are received and make a decision at that time. Meanwhile, President Joline Lee volunteered to contact the Parks and Recreation Department to see who they use for repairs as well as call contractors for bids on patching and painting.
New Business: Bill Martin said watering at the Association Park is scheduled to begin this month. President Lee volunteered to take the task during March.
Phyllis Moore made a motion to buy flowers for Val Martin as a way of thanking her for the almost daily trips she makes to the Park, regardless of weather, to check on landscaping and general appearance. The motion carried and Mrs. Moore is authorized to spend up to $50 for flowers.
President Lee expressed the need for a replacement for outgoing Board member Lorrayne Hodge who has moved from the Ranch. The Board also recognized the dedication of Lorrayne and her diligence while a Board member. Resident Kelly McGuire was asked to consider replacing her and he said he would consider it.
With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 1947 on a motion by Frank Chuba and a second by Phyllis Moore. The Board concurred.
The next regularly scheduled meeting will be at 1900 on Monday, 09 April 2007 at the Tri-Lakes Fire Station.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Bergeron, Recorder/Secretary
