Dollar amount of future
HOA dues – Starting Jan. 2007 the PBH Board of Directors recommends to
increase dues to $75. Communication about what the funds are being used for
has to be reinforced. In addition, campaigning to collect dues from
everyone has to increase. Maybe a “dues” marketing group has to be formed.

HOA has contributed to
install a bronze dam plaque for the de Haas family.
New Business:
Election of HOA Board
members for 2007 (first term for Treasurer, second term for others)

Suzanne Adams – The plan
is to provide some information about the history of the PBH firehouse.
Renewing or refurbishing
street signs around PBH. - This big item has to be re-visited at future PBH
meetings.
Program:
Recreational use of the land around the dam, which is owned by the
Water Board
·
Formation
of a committee to develop a usage plan
Re-vegetation options of
the dam/reservoir are highly regulated by the County. Wild flower seeds
might be a great alternative to expensive pine trees. Native vegetation is
preferred. Landscaping will probably start by end of 2007.
·
Collected
input from HOA members regarding topics that the committee will study
The business meeting was adjourned at 8:50pm.
