The Association website was noted to be down today. Director David Weber volunteered to contact Jase Campbell about taking over the website for which he needs the password(s). If no response is received in a reasonable amount of time, President Kelly McGuire will send a letter to Jase thanking him for his devotion to the web site, but feels it is time for a board member to take it over. That action will be taken on a motion from Craig Ketels and seconded by Frank Chuba with concurrence from all board members present.
President Kelly McGuire stated that he would like to see updated addresses, telephone numbers, and as many e-mail addresses as possible added so residents can be notified of upcoming events and it will give the Association knowledge of Ranch wide properties and owners.

Treasurer Bill Martin, who with his wife Val, tend the garden at the Association Park said the area needs approximately ten bags of bark to replace what has blown away. David Weber made a motion to spend up to $50 to purchase bark at Home Depot with a second from Jim Zalmanek and approval from all board members present.
Director David Weber said he has run the watering system at the Park and will continue to do so on an as-needed-basis.
A letter was received from Ranch residents Dave and Sondra Wayman who stated that they are very glad that RRR will have a Neighborhood Garage Sale and they hope the Association can provide funds for the cost of signs, advertising and printing of maps. They also enclosed their voluntary dues for 2012.
The garage sale planned for 01, 02, and 03 June 2012 will be overseen by Mrs. Lucy McGuire and she has requested a budget allowance of $500 to allow for any unseen expenses. President Kelly McGuire stated that Mrs. McGuire would need at least 25 participants at $25 per participant for the event. Director Craig Ketels made a motion to allocate $400 to subsidize Mrs. McGuire for the sale in case she does not have sufficient funds and a second was forthcoming from Jim Zalmanek with concurrence from all board members present. Added to that motion was “any overage in the sale will go to the Association Treasury to be available as seed money for next year’s sale”.
President McGuire stated that he is waiting for a telephone call from Brian at Tri Lakes Disposal concerning cost of dumpsters for the June Ranch wide pickup in the Park. The company that provided dumpsters in the past (Baldwin) has been turned over to a new owner by the name of Patrick, and he has not yet called the President about his offer. The Board authorized President McGuire to make a decision about which company to use based on cost effectiveness.
Director Jim Zalmanek stated that there will be a meeting on 03 May 2012 at 1730 in the El Paso County Court House, 270 South Tejon Street in Colorado Springs concerning HOA’s. It is hosted by the Bar Association as a public service in conjunction with the Council of Neighbors and Organizations (CONO). The public is invited. Director David Weber plans on attending.
Treasurer Bill Martin feels a welcome letter to new residents on the Ranch is in order and said he would provide input to President McGuire for such a letter to go out under the president’s signature.
Board members will be asked at the May meeting to sign up for two hour stints at the Association Park dumpster station in June.
