Bridger Creek Subdivision Community Association
Board of Directors
Minutes of Meeting – September 9, 2008
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM at the Bozeman Public Library by Vice-President Lindy Halverson. Also in attendance were the following Board members: Sharyn Anhalt, Ernie Vyse, and Dorick Sauvageau, representing a quorum. Design committee chair Les Fischer and members Adam Racow, Shirley Hinz, Carmen Wietlispach, and Golf Course Partners representatives Rex Easton and Jack Schunke also attended.
The minutes of the August 12th and 28th, 2008 meetings were read and approved unanimously.
Ernie reported that the insurance policy has been renewed and our coverage reviewed. We appear to have adequate and proper insurance coverage. Ernie also provided a Treasurer's report, stating that quite a few annual dues have not yet been paid. He will instruct the bookkeeper to send statements for all unpaid dues at the end of September.
The Nemelka fee arbitration hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday September 23rd. Sharyn will send our statement to the State Bar, and Ernie will plan on attending the hearing. Lindy will possibly attend.
Sharyn suggested that the Board re-elect officers in order to assign new positions before the terms of Sharyn and Ernie expire in May 2009. It would be beneficial for the continuing Board members to learn their current duties. We will visit this issue at the next Board Meeting.
The engineer's report from Michael Nicklin of Nicklin Earth & Water was presented. The Board, along with Golf Course Partners, hired Michael to provide an independent evaluation of the ground and surface water situation at the Links Condo Project site. The report concluded that higher ground water existed this year, but that there was still a chronic problem in the area of the Links Condos and Village Green Townhomes. The report suggested that the best long-term solution for both would be to install drain tile along the west side of the Links Condo property, which would help reduce the ground water level for both properties. Golf Course Partners proposed that the cost of this installation be shared between their project and the Village Green Townhomes owners, since it would provide a solution to the ground water problems they experienced prior to this year. The Village Green members present agreed to consider this, and asked the BCSCA Board if any financial assistance would be available from our Association. The Board declined to offer any assistance until a firm cost is known for the project, but would consider helping since it would eliminate the water that currently flows onto Boylan. Jack Schunke agreed to get a proposal together before our next Board meeting.
The plans for finishing the concrete lift station structure were presented by Golf Course Partners and reviewed by the Board and Design Committee. A motion passed unanimously to accept these plans and grant permission for the Links Condo project to resume construction.
Ernie reported that he determined the deed for the trail easement in Phase 1 was never transferred to BCSCA. All other deeds for park land have been transferred. Since the installation of the drain tile discussed previously may require disturbing the trail, Golf Course Partners will complete that project and then arrange for transfer of the deed to BCSCA.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 8:00 PM. The next regular Board Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday October 14, 2008, 7PM location to be determined.
