{tab=Arch Control}
Architectural Control: Chairman Frank Chuba reports no new applications this month.
{tab=Old Business}
Old Business: Treasurer Bill Martin reported that he has not yet received a water bill for the Association Park. Director David Weber stated that the water is being used to water the plants, so there is a flow.
The mulch created from chipping branches was discussed and it was agreed to use it in the Park- some on the garden, some to fill in ruts on the driveway and then just spread the remaining amount around the Park. Director David Weber agreed to approach Craig Ketels about using his tractor to spread the mulch.
Bill Martin said it was time to mow the grass at the Park and Jim Bergeron volunteered to contact Mr. Brenneman who charges less than the mowing concern we have used in the past.
{tab=New Business}
New Business: Jim Bergeron introduced Mark Fears who has expressed a desire to join the RRRHOA Board. He gave a brief bio and a motion was made by Kelly McGuire to accept him as a Board member. A second was made by Fred Lanyon and the Board members present agreed unanimously.
New member Mark Fears volunteered to mow the Park, but all in attendance felt the land is too rough for anything but a heavy duty tractor. He did agree to do any trimming that needed to be done and was thanked for that.
The annual picnic is scheduled for Saturday, 20 September 2014 at Nevins Park at noon. Bill Martin will supply water and soft drinks, Jim Bergeron will furnish meats, chips, and condiments.
David Weber volunteered to replace dead or dying plants in the Nevins Park garden that he and his wife have been tending.
Tom Guenther requested permission to speak and gave a summary of the recent county commissioner meetings he attended with attorney Lenard Rioth and Board member Jim Zalmanek. He stated that Mr. Rioth felt now is an ideal time to update or fine-tune the covenants concerning housing on the Ranch in light of the recent concern over a group home on Spruce Road. Tom Guenther volunteered to re-write and submit suggestions to the Board for approval, but the consensus was that attorney Rioth should re-write that section of the covenants for clarity and proper legal terminology. Jim Bergeron was tasked with contacting Mr. Rioth to accomplish the re-write.
{tab=Adjournment}
With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned by a unanimous vote after a motion made by Frank Chuba and a second by Fred Lanyon.
The next regularly scheduled meeting will be at 1900 on Monday, 11 August 2014 at the Tri Lakes Cares building, 235 Jefferson Street, Monument, Colorado.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Bergeron
Secretary/Recorder, RRRHOA
