VI.             Discussion

ü  Bar Ditches- Steve Metzler asked that homeowners please mow their own bar ditches (the area in front of your property to the road).  This will aid us in cutting back expenses for the upkeep.  Many homeowners mow their own bar ditches already.  There was a bit of discussion on property lines.

ü  Steve Metzler gave an update on Roads (see attached road presentation).  Currently we are spending about $30k a year on roads.  We have recently entered into an agreement with North American to patch some newly formed pot holes before winter.

ü  Tom Takes discussed the possibility of a special assessment for roads in order to complete the work in a shorter period of time.

ü  The board plans on calling a special meeting dedicated to roads sometime in the first quarter of 2013.

ü  Annual Halloween Hay Ride will be at the corner of W Canyon Creek Lane and Savage Creek Lane 10/27 @6pm. 

ü  Eric Noll proposed a change to section 1108 of the bylaws regarding term limits for serving on the board for every position except President.  There was a lot of discussion about this and everyone is unsure if this change needed to be on the initial meeting notice to be voted on.  Ultimately it was decided that the change would be written up and sent to all members to be voted on at a later date.

ü  Please notify us if you are not receiving e-mails from the HOA

Bar Ditches

At the time the development was turned over from the developer to the HOA, the HOA was deeded 60 feet including the road throughout the subdivision. 22 feet of this is the actual road and the other are bar ditches. Many of you mow and maintain your own bar ditches, we would encourage you to continue doing so. Due to the nature and terrain of the subdivision to contract someone to mow the bar ditches is quite expensive, this will be done on an as needed basis. If you are particular about your bar ditches in front of your property please mow them this weekend as the work will be done on this coming Monday, September 10. 

Nominations for the Board

This coming year we will have three open positions on the board:
President
Vice President
Secretary
Tentatively, our annual meeting will be held October 18 at 7pm at the Brock Community Center (notice & proxy to follow via mail & e-mail)
If you have nominations for the board PLEASE e-mail them no later than this coming Tuesday September 11 to ccrhoa@yahoo.com
