{tab=Arch Control}Architectural Control:
Architectural Control Chairman Frank Chuba presented a request from resident Fred Lanyon, 18080 Red Rocks Drive, to erect a chain link fence at his residence to contain a dog. The front portion of the fence will be faced with cedar wood for esthetic reasons for the benefit of his neighbors. The plan was accepted by the Board after a motion by Jim Zalmanek and a second by Frank Chuba. Mr. Lanyon paid a $25 fee.

President McGuire asked if members had read the proposed letter that will be sent to District 38 schools proposing a contest to draw a logo that will be used on RRRHOA correspondence. The letter states a prize of $50 will be awarded to the winning student which created discussion among the members who felt perhaps $50 might not be a big enough incentive for students to participate. On a motion by Jim Zalmanek and a second by Frank Chuba it was unanimously agreed to raise the prize to $100. President McGuire asked all members to give the letter a final read and be prepared to vote on its approval at the January meeting.

Treasurer Bill Martin made a motion to increase the amount of money given to Tri Lakes Cares from $200 to $250. That was seconded by Jim Zalmanek and was carried unanimously by all Board members.
President McGuire offered thanks to Craig Ketels for moving the sand barrel at the intersection of State Highway 105 and Red Rock Ranch Drive to a more appropriate spot. He then asked if sand barrels could be placed at the base of steep roads on the Ranch which would include Spruce Road, Range View Road and Stone View Road. Jim Bergeron was tasked with contacting the El Paso County Roads Department about the feasibility of new sand barrels at these three locations.
Jim Bergeron reported an incident that was observed by Craig Ketels recently. On two separate occasions he observed a man filling water jugs at the Nevins Park spigot. The first time it happened, the man left in his vehicle before Craig could confront him. The second time, Craig was able to talk to the man and wrote down his license plate number. The man explained that he thought it was community proper water, that he was helping pay for it, and he needed it to water trees and plants on his property. It turned out that the man does not live on Red Rock Ranch, but in Sundance Estates so he is not paying for it. Craig said the man was very polite and agreed not to take water again. The Board discussed the situation and agreed a lock should be put on the tap. The Fire Department should have either a key or the combination, depending on the type lock used. President McGuire also said he would contact Ann Bevis of the Forest View Acres Water District to advise her of the situation.
Jim Bergeron recommended that maintenance work be accomplished next spring at Nevins Park, which would include staining/painting the pavilion and replacing broken timbers on the split rail fence marking the park boundaries. President McGuire added that plastic bags for dog excrement might also be available since many residents exercise their dogs at the park.{tab=Adjournment}
