Bank balance is $12,465.69.  There have been 120 voluntary donations from residents since the first of the year totaling $4675.  Architectural control fees amount to $228.40 for a total income of $4942.22.  Total expenses for the year amount to $4665.38.

Treasurer’s report unanimously accepted following a motion by Craig Ketels and a second by Fred Lanyon.

{tab=Arch Control}Architectural Control: Chairman Frank Chuba reports that he saw an El Paso County request from resident Randy Phillips to erect a retaining wall at the rear of his house.  There was no request directed to the RRRHOA Architectural Committee.  After discussion among members, it was decided that the by-laws do not address retaining walls and, additionally, the wall will not be seen from the road.  No further action required.

President McGuire noted that weather conditions have prevented work on the tennis court at this time.

President McGuire did take the RRRHOA position paper regarding the proposed Dyad drilling to Commissioner Wayne Williams at the NEPCO (North El Paso Coalition of Community Associations) meeting and was told by Mr. Williams that he would like to wait on any action until a government permit is issued; otherwise, it will not be read.  Mr. Williams did appear interested in the RRRHOA position, according to President McGuire.

Director Fred Lanyon gave an update on the proposed drilling which is on-hold at this time, probably because of funding problems.  He discussed environmental impact statements and environmental assessment, noting that some work has been done in that area, but is now at a standstill.  Information can be obtained at http://frerc.org .  President McGuire will research this web site and discuss his findings with commissioner Williams.  ( Note: frerc is an acronym for Front Range Environmental Resource Coalition.)

Director Craig Ketels made a motion, seconded by Bill Martin, that the Association remit $35 to continue membership in NEPCO.  Members felt it is worthwhile to belong and President McGuire stated that he will attend and said all board members are welcome to attend, also.

There was discussion about messages not always being received via e-mail by members, and two members stated they receive spam.  Director David Weber said he will coordinate with web master Jase Campbell about deleting spam and also have Kelly McGuire listed as president of the Association.

Director Craig Ketels made a motion to set aside $500 for charitable donations such as Tri Lakes Cares, the Palmer Lake star fund, etc.  After some discussion it was decided to table the motion and give money on an as-needed basis.  In light of that, Craig Ketels made a motion to donate $200 to Tri Lakes Cares which was seconded by Bill Martin and approved unanimously.

With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 1939 on a motion by Craig Ketels with a second by David Weber and the motion carried unanimously.

The next regularly scheduled meeting will be at 1900 on Monday, 11 January 2010 at the Tri Lakes Cares building, 235 Jefferson Street, Monument, Colorado.

Respectfully submitted,

Jim Bergeron

Secretary/Recorder, RRRHOA
