meeting.
Minutes:
The minutes of the
June 6, 2006 Board Meeting were moved, seconded, and approved.Job
description updates: Board members need
to edit and circulate their job description to other Board members for
comments prior to the next Board meeting.
An electronic copy of the finalized job
descriptions could be posted on PBH website. A printed version could be
given to new board members as part of a Board “tool kit”.
New
business up for discussion: To increase
the awareness for the background and the ownership of the Community Center,
a plaque was proposed: Mark and Suzanne will present a detailed proposal at
next HOA general meeting.
Timber Lane fuel break, update and future (Tim)
This project is completed with respect to
currently available funds. A request for the final grant reimbursement
payment was sent to the State. An extra $3000 was paid to the contractor. A
total of $47,000 was spent on this project including $22,000 in grant money
received from the state. For 2007, information was sent to the Steve Lynn,
fire mitigation manager, to compile this information with other fire
districts to apply for a grant for 2007. Compiling this information will
increase the chance for receiving a grant. This 2007 grant is intended to
complete the remainder of the Timber Lane project.
New business: Re-vegetating the dam/reservoir:
Pete Lillydahl will spearhead the
re-vegetation effort in conjunction with the water board. He will conduct
a meeting on this at the meeting room on October 17.
New business: Recreational use of the dam/reservoir:
Recommendation: Make this topic the
“program” portion of the next HOA meeting forming a committee to develop a
reservoir usage plan. Ask HOA members to submit topics the committee will
cover.
Car Show / Block Party report (Suzanne)
Has been a great success. $6,000 was
collected.
Possible 2007 dues increase, and collection status (Alex)
286 out of 390 members paid. 73% of
homeowners paid dues. Alex will send membership dues information to Param to
be added to website. Current available funds are approximately $27,000. This
year, we will approximately go $15,000 over budget. Recommendation: raise
fees to $75. When the HOA dues contributions letter is being sent out, it
will include a multi-level check boxes and an open-ended option to select
higher a contribution. Motion approved.

in full swing.

Fire evacuation signs (Suzanne)
The idea of permanent signs indicating

Arm organization will set up temporary evacuation signs to direct the
traffic to the correct escape route.

last six months discussing supporting aging neighbors who don't want to
leave PBH. A meeting open to all interested PBH residents will be held on
October 29 at 3-5pm in the community room.
Board, Member at Large for ’07? (Pam et al)
Pam will miss at least three general and
one Board meeting next year. Pam would like to stay on the Board but will
resign if the Board decides on having a Board member on board who can attend
more meetings. It was decided that no change would be made at this time,
keeping her on the Board.
The
meeting was adjourned at 9:15 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Margit “Mia” Mestdagh, Secretary |
