Minutes of meeting after Annual Meeting approved

Treasurer's report – approved

Joan Michlin will go to U.S. Bank to make sure that bank statements are sent to

our P.O. Box.

We raised the question – should leftover money not spent on maintenance go into a new trails fund.

Mark Holiday spoke to the plan for a new trail connecting Phase 2 and 3. He said that there

should not be a trail between hole 13 and 14 due to safety concerns. There was discussion about the safety of pedestrians if a trail is built in accordance with the plat signed off on with the City. A trail can be perceived as an invitation for a place to walk vs. a public road. Dorick doesn't feel that the BCSCA should fund the from Phase 2 to Phase 3 for the reason of concerns of safety of pedestrians.


 

Erik's proposed schedule for Board meetings was approved

David Anderassi has accepted Design Committee Chair.

Bill Ranard will talk with Les Fisher about storing past minutes and documents for the Association

4 Association signs will be removed.


 

Stuart Jennnings presented his ideas regarding the placement of a trail connecting

Phase 2 and 3. Bill Ranard explained the concerns of Great Northern Golf and Board with a trail.

Stuart reminded the Board that BCSCA was annexed into the City about 1995 and there are

requirements that go with that annexation – water, sewer, etc.

The Board discussed what we are required to do as an Association

Stuart said we have an obligation to build a trail

There was discussion about the spirit of the requirement as well as any legal requirement

Carolyn raised the suggestion that President Obama has a Great America Outdoors Initiative

and that the building of a trail would help the residents of the Phases of our Association

connect better with the outdoors as travel along the road is not safe due to speed of cars, etc.


 

Carolyn moved and Bill Ranard seconded a motion to have special meeting to specifically discuss how the Association should approach the idea of funding any part of the building of a trail. Each member of the Board will gather information on different aspects of the building and the Association's part in it.


 

Board members are asked to forward to Carolyn any thoughts they have on the different aspects.

The meeting will be held in the latter part of August.


 

We discussed Mr. Beebee's letter and the best way to answer his concerns relayed as well

by his attorney. It was decided that Sharyn will draft a short letter and run it by the Board.


 

The Board then discussed the subject of fences as referenced by the building of a fence by

the Love's without prior approval by the Design Committee. No definitive decision was reached

at this point.


 

The meeting was adjourned at 9:45.

Our next regular meeting will be held the Second Wednesday of October.

Respectfully submitted

Carolyn Hopper, Secretary.
