Budget review – A review of the current year balance sheet shows ~$4k accounts receivable as many dues are past due > 90 days. Kim will begin enforcing late fees; fees >60 days overdue are assessed a $25 fine. Dues for the coming year will be mailed on July 1. Kim will email a reminders notice. A review of the profit & loss statements for the past two years indicates mowing & weed control and snow removal continue to be the most significant expenses. Kim will research the difference in snow removal cost over the last two years. Kelly suggested a reserve be created for repairs & maintenance. Brandon suggested increasing the liability insurance policy. Kelly suggested a dues increase could be based on 4-year projection surplus. Dues will not increase this year.

 

Boulevard trees – Bridger Creek HOA covenants indicate there are requirements for boulevard trees. Kim indicated the City of Bozeman offers a cost sharing program for trees. Elizabeth will draft an email for the board to review that will be sent to homeowners regarding requirements for and related information about boulevard trees.

 

Stormwater pond clean-out – Kelly noted that this pond acts as a wildlife refuge. Morrison Maierle advised that vegetation overgrowth does not affect pipe capacity and recommend leaving it alone. The Board is in agreement.

Website Access – Kim provided the Board with instructions on how to gain access to BCSCA’s Blogspot website to add or update content.  (Topic for a future discussion:  Should we move the website to a different platform?)

 

Communications – Emails among Board members should copy the BCSCA email address as well as individual’s personal email.  That will ensure that the BCSCA email inbox captures all communications.  Elizabeth suggested that we list FAQs on the website.  For billing inquiries, Kim should be copied on any replies so she can address the issue specifically.  It is possible to email all Association members, should we ever wish to communicate to the whole community electronically instead of by mail.
