Fred Lanyon made a motion to donate $200 to Tri Lakes Cares as thanks for the use of the conference room for Association meetings. A second was made by David Weber and was passed unanimously by the Board.
Bill Martin mentioned that the Wolf Rescue organization will pick up any dead deer found on the Ranch as food for the wolves. That will be done for free.
Craig Ketels expressed thanks to Bill Martin for his diligent efforts to obtain liability insurance for RRRHOA at the most competitive rates, and for his “correct to the penny” reports each month.
Kelly McGuire reported on the NEPCO meeting and stated that County Commissioner Darryl Glenn was the main speaker who gave his economic assessment of the county. Minutes of NEPCO meetings can be found by accessing a link through the RRRHOA web site or www.elpasoco.com.
Frank Chuba made a motion for a contest to create an Association logo that has been discussed in the past. He further suggested the contest be held at Palmer Ridge and Lewis-Palmer high schools with a $50 prize for the winner of the best design that will be judged by the Association Board. Craig Ketels seconded the motion and it was approved by all Board members present. Frank Chuba will draft the rules and e-mail to Board members for comments which will be presented at the next meeting on 10 December 2012. Craig Ketels agreed to present the contest to the appropriate personnel at both schools.
Jim Bergeron mentioned that the sand barrel at the intersection of Red Rock Ranch Drive and State Highway 105 is on the wrong (west) side of the road, which is across from the east area where cars become stuck on the icy upslope. This became apparent when his wife stopped to help a stranded motorist and fell on the ice while traversing the road to get sand. It was agreed that it should be moved where it will be more easily accessible. Craig Ketels will accomplish the move with his tractor.
David Weber gave the Board a presentation about the mechanics of putting notices on the Association website, which will be used for such things as crime alerts. All notices posted will require a signature by the writer- no anonymous postings will be allowed.
Recent burglaries were mentioned. In addition to Woodmoor, there have been three known break-ins locally; one on Red Rock Ranch, one in Sundance Estates and one in Forest View Acres. Two young men have been arrested, and hopefully they are the miscreants responsible for all these crimes, but residents must always be alert and report any unusual or suspicious activity to the El Paso County sheriff’s office at 719-390-5555 (non-emergency number).

Respectfully submitted,
Secretary/Recorder, RRRHOA
