Dave Anderson opened the meeting. Dave called for finalizing
plan for long term road maintenance as the first order of business.
Pat Moyer suggested we discuss the pros and cons of paying for the entire
development road needs at one time and breaking payment and completion
into phases. One time would reduce inconvenience and payment would require
a special assessment close to $1,000. Breaking project into segments
would require some inconvenience every other year for the next eight
years but we can pay as we go without requiring a special assessment.
This approach will require a $100 increase in annual dues.
Plan discussed last week was finalized. Current Road account has a balance
of $,8000 in 2008 an additional $7,500 will be added. The total will
pay for Segment 1 roads repairs in 2009. Dues collected in 2009 and
2010 will replenish $15,000 to the Road fund to pay for Segment 2 road
repairs in 2011. Process will continue in this manner until all four
Road Segments have been repaired. Based on our studies the process will
begin again with repairs due for Segment 1 again in 2019.
Slow progress in completion of lampposts was discussed. Our cost saving
has been significant making it easier to accept the slowness of the
project. Bob agreed to stay on top of Tim, the electrician.
Pat read the Landscape committee request for plantings around the new
lift-station for both soil retention and screening purposes estimated
at $5,500. Board approved $4,000 for these specific landscaping expenses
request.
Board agreed to keep regular gate maintenance at twice a year for the
2008 contract instead of three times a year to save money because the
third maintenance did not seem necessary.

Video camera installation was discussed as a way of both preventing
and perhaps capturing an event in progress. Board agreed to seek out
additional quotes for a system. The Board already has a bid from one
vendor.
Need for some
additional signs were discussed. No Solicitation, No Parking on Streets,
Safety signs. It was agreed to procure no solicitation, and no parking
signs.
Meeting was adjourned.
