Approval of Agenda – The agenda was approved unanimously.

Amended Covenants Presentation to Membership – The board discussed presentation of the amended Covenants to the Association (as summarized in the February 14, 2016 letter to the membership) at the Annual Membership meeting in May. The current BCSCA Covenants, along with the proposed First Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, can be reviewed at http://bridgercreek.blogspot.com/. Members may also request copies be emailed by contacting bridgercreekboard@gmail.com. Sharyn will contact Eric Nord for legal recommendation for how to present and vote at the annual meeting. Additional information will be mailed with ballots for the Membership Meeting.  A change to the Covenants will require >75% approval by the members.

Design Review Committee
·        There is nothing currently pending with the Committee.
·        Discussion about how to address modifications to siding on a house on Augusta that did not go through Design Review. Sharyn will contact Dave (Committee Chair) and ask him to address.
·        New construction is planned for a lot on St. Andrews. The owner informed Karin that they will be digging a soil test pit soon for informational purposes. Design Review and other permitting is in process.

Park & Trail Committee
·        The City created a large disturbance in the Phase 3 parkland adjacent to the landfill when they installed a gas mitigation system in late winter. Sharyn has been in touch with Craig Wollard about the process (the Association was not notified) and their plans for reclamation of the trail and park. Sharyn asked Karin to follow up, who agreed to do so.
·        Contracts for 2016 mowing/weed spray have been received from Grass Chopper. There are no changes (no price increases) from last year. Karin will follow up with Grass Chopper on the contracts, including communicating about the disturbance in the Phase 3 park, and what impact that may have to the contract.

Finance/Treasurer Report
·        No Statements were prepared for the meeting as the bank statement was not yet received.
·        Sharyn proposed to the Board that she is ready to step away from her bookkeeper role with the Association and asked for consideration of contracting with a new bookkeeper. She is recommending Kim Center, who has expressed willingness and would charge the same hourly rate of $40/hour. Sharyn will prepare a list of current duties she would retain and delegate, and will obtain a proposal from Kim for this work for presentation to the Board. Kim will provide her credentials as well.  

Update on Tom Murphy (12 Acre Parcel Adjacent to Phase 1 Park off Boylan Road) – The application to the County from Mr. Murphy that was reported on at the January meeting was pulled before the County Commission met, as the Planning Board did not recommend approval. More recently, Mr. Murphy has submitted a new application with the County for rezoning as Residential-Suburban (RS). A Public Hearing with the County Planning Board has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 12 and will be publically noticed. Sharyn will review the response previously submitted by the Board and will amend as needed and submit for the April 12 meeting.

Annual Membership Meeting – Monday, May 2, 2016 @ 6:30 pm
***Note: Location change – the meeting will be held at
Lindley Community Center (1102 E Curtiss Street), not Beall Park.***
Ballots will be drawn up for voting for Election of Officers (two positions), 2016-2017 Budget, and Covenants Amendments.  With regard to election of officers, due to the changes that are ongoing with the Covenants, Karin and Sharyn have each agreed to serve for another two year term. The Board is targeting mailing the meeting notice and ballots for receipt before the end of March.

New Business – none.


The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 pm.
