Web Site: Director Kevin Guy requested to speak first since the battery on his phone was running low and he wanted to let the Board see his presentation on the I Pad before the battery died. He did report on the status of the web site and said that Director Paul Tillotson has been helping. New items to be included will be tabs for documents such as Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation, CWPP and the Single Family Definition. Firewise should have a drop down for dates, contact information and sign-ups, plus a NEPCO dropdown with monthly minutes to post. Board minutes will be posted with a history of five years. There will be a Home Tab to welcome residents to the neighborhood, and a What’s New with current information including the president’s message, picnic information, clean-up information, and Firewise information. A Contact Tab will list Board names, addresses (PO Box) and contact information.
Frank Chuba asked for a printable form for Architectural Control and Kevin Guy said that can be done.
President Lonnquist stressed the importance of having resident contacts on the Ranch, especially in view of the recent fires in Paridise, California.

Old Business: Driving on back side of properties – Directors Paul Tillotson and Kevin Guy presented e-mails from all affected neighbors, except Lee Galloway, who are all against using the utility easement and private property as a roadway. A sign will be erected on the RRRHOA property as approved at the November meeting and will read, “Service and Emergency Vehicles Only” and will be signed by “RRRHOA.org.” The wording of the sign was approved following a motion by Jim Zalmanek and a second by Bill Griffith. Frank Chuba agreed to draft a letter to Lee Galloway explaining the situation concerning an easement that prohibits anyone except emergency vehicles traversing the property and will offer Mr. Galloway alternatives for moving his trailer.
