Approval of 12/5/06 Board meeting minutes (Mia)

Job
description updates (All)
Presidents job description was recently sent out for final review. The same
format will be for other board member job descriptions. The secretary, Mia
Mestdagh, will compile all job descriptions. The completed job descriptions
will be given to new PBH board members. They will also be added to the PBH
website after being reviewed by all the Board members.
Timber Lane fuel
break and 2008-2009 grant (Tim)
by end of March 2007 we will have spent about $21K - $22K for this phase of
the $40K Timber Lane fuel break. 50% is being reimbursed. Remaining funds
will be used to the Timber Lane fuel break to the Sunshine Canyon fuel
break. We will be working in conjunction with Boulder Open Space. In the
future, the bottom of Bow Mountain, close to Anne White Trail, will be
another project under consideration since the Bow Mountain Road is one of
the exit routes for PBH. Permission and potential funding from homeowners
will be required.
Tree spraying
effort (Suzanne) 35
families responded to the last e-mail message. Suzanne is working on finding
lower cost spraying providers. She is also looking into to see if PBH can
offer free water for this service.
Newcomers Report
(Pam) Tim Triggs providing
report. It's progressing well. Welcome packages have been delivered.
Dam Brass Plaque
Ceremony (May 5?) (Mark) Tim
Triggs has to confirm the date with Mark M. and Bob de Haas.
Uses of the
reservoir (All) The HOA Board
will look at sanctioning specific recreational activity
if the recreational
use of the reservoir meets the following criteria:
1. It is not a problem with the Water
Board.
2. It does not pose safety concerns.
3. It does not require supervision.
4. Pine Brook residents demonstrate a
strong desire and commitment for the particular activity.
Debra Menagh might be
the contact person for community members.
Fishing from the dam
might be one of the activities that could be allowed. If it's a private
lake, no fishing license would be required. In this case, the Department of
Wild Life would not stock the lake. Thus, the HOA would need to provide
funding to have a local hatchery stock the lake (perhaps with Rainbow
Trout).
Another possibility
might be to use the lake as breading ground for Green Back Cutthrought
Trout, a native endangered species. It would be for catch-and-release
fishing only. This option might provide great publicity for PBH and would be
funded by the DOW.
Refurbishing street
direction signs in PBH (Tim) Tim
Triggs received one call about a confusing sign. Suzanne's husband, Bart,
and Shawn Roberts would be willing to help refurbish signs. South Cedar
Brook sign needs fixing. County signs on upper Timber Lane are confusing.
Suzanne will contact Ted Plank at the County.
Re-carpeting the
meeting room (All) Dave Davies
will follow up on quotes Pam C. received. The Water Department and Fire
Department will have to share the costs.
2007 dues
collection update (Dave) (See
attachment) about 60% of homeowners paid fees. We are already above the
total collected amount of 2006. Dave Davies will talk to Joyce Colson to
find out what is involved for the PBH HOA to receiving Non Profit, 501C 3
status.
Ideas for April HOA
program, (Geology of PBH topic?) (All)
Proposal to have speaker before the business meeting. Pete Palmer might be a
good choice for a geology presentation. Sarah Davidson, book author, might
also be an interesting speaker. Dr. Clothing, Steve Burnstein, might be
another option. PBH birds and how to attract them, was the preferred
option.
The
meeting was adjourned at 8:30 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Margit “Mia” Mestdagh, Secretary |
