One design for the Red Rock Ranch logo was received from a high school student that was received with a less than favorable response from Board members present. It was decided to continue the contest for one more month to give students more time to present designs.
Director David Weber stated that he delivered the finished Association newsletter to Tri Lakes Printing and it will be ready for mailing in a few days. The Board thanked Mr. Weber for producing another fine and professional letter.
Resident John Novotny made a new sign for the south entrance to Nevins Park, which is now in place. He received thanks for this project, as well as for making another sign that is on the north side of the park. It was agreed by Board members that Mr. Novotny’s voluntary dues be waived in appreciation for his work.
The chipper to be used during the spring cleanup was mentioned, and was tabled until the next meeting when President McGuire will report on his progress about obtaining the service of resident Thad Hendrick for chipping branches.
It was mentioned at the March meeting and reiterated that non-residents can dump during the spring clean-up for a $35 fee. Treasurer Bill Martin stated that Board members on duty during spring clean-up should ascertain that Ranch residents who have not made a voluntary contribution not be allowed to dump. There were some residents last year who had not paid, said they would send a check, and then failed to follow through.

Jim Bergeron reported an accident that occurred on Tuesday, 02 April 2013 in which an automobile ran off Red Rock Ranch Drive, destroying a fence at Nevins Park and ended up being stopped by large rocks in the garden at the north end of the tennis court. He obtained the name, address and telephone number of the driver who resides in Forest View Estates. It was agreed that the fence be replaced when work is done on all the fences in the park, and a bill for lumber used to replace the demolished fence be sent to the driver involved in the accident.
Director Craig Ketels suggested that signs be posted at Nevins Park with hours listed when it is open. His suggestion was from sunup until sundown, except on holidays when it might be used for Association events. In addition to preventing after-hours use for such things as underage drinking, it would reduce the Association’s liability in such situations. The suggestion was tabled until the May meeting when more Board members will be present.
Director Jim Zalmanek presented a map produced by El Paso County which purports to trace the outlines of Red Rock Ranch, but it includes Sundance Estates, Red Rock Reserve, and Forest View Estates that are not part of the Ranch. Members present made corrections and a new map will be given to Board members at the May meeting.{tab=Adjournment}
