Chris reported that the February water bill was much lower than the January bill, due to shutting down the fountain and sprinklers.
III. DISCUSSION WITH RESIDENTS
A. ROLLINS PARK. Ken read a letter from Verna Shafer, setting forth the history of the Garden Club's efforts to raise money for and planting the garden in the park. She said it belongs to and is enjoyed by the entire community and was concerned that LMPOA was going to remove the garden and the garden club sign She suggested selling stones to raise money for park maintenance. Other residents voiced that the fountain is the center of the park and very important to the community. Other groups use the park, such as Kiwanis, and may be willing to help support it.
Chip Davis had suggested putting together a plan for the park and presenting it to him. A volunteer task force was created, consisting of Sharon Brooks, Karen Trask, Verna Shafer, Chuck Elston, and Carole Penfield-Krowne. The task force will present its findings at the next LMPOA meeting. It was also explained that Joshua Tree was selected to trim the trees because their bid was the lowest and because they are licensed and bonded.
B. BUZZARD RENDEVOUS. Fred Shute encouraged everyone to attend this Kiwanis-sponsored event to be held in Sycamore Park on March 29th at 1;00 p.m. There will be a BBQ and live music. It was suggested that LMPOA set up a table there for a membership drive.
III. INFORMATION ITEMS; The website is alive and well.
IV. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. BCRC: Luna Vista and its neighbors reached a consensus at the BCRC Planning and Zoning meeting. As a result, BCRC agreed to endorse Luna Vista as a Board and Breakfast Inn, with up to five room rentals.
A motion was made and seconded for LMPOA to send a letter to the Planning and Zoning committee, endorsing Luna Vista's plan as a B&B Inn. The motion passed, and Bob McClarin agreed to submit the letter electronically.
B. PLANNING AND ZONING. Bob McClarin will fill in for Dennis for Planning and Zoning issues.
Red Rock Development held an informational meeting on February 5, 2008, where they presented their revised plan for the wastewater facility they plan to build in Indian Lakes. It will go to County Planning and Zoning on March 21 and then to the Board of Supervisors on April 19th. A concern was raised about the impact of the traffic and suggestions were made to enter into stipulations with Red Rock Development that LMPOA would support their plan if they agreed to assist financially with a secondary access at Brocket Ranch Road. A motion was made and passed, authorizing Janet Aniol to send a letter stating that the LMPOA Board would like to hear from Red Rock Development at their earliest convenience and the matter would be discussed at the next meeting.
C. COMMUNITY PLAN. Steve Sprinz said it was on a fast track, with a completion date goal of August 23, 2008.
D. WATER/FLOODING ISSUES. No report
E. PARK COMMITTEE; Chris Beisecker reported that we are drastically underinsured, and the agent recommends $1 million in coverage to cover the park and outside areas. LMPOA is not covered for liability at current meeting site. Chris got a quote for $2500 annual insurance premium. Although LMPOA is incorporated, we are treated as a "club." Chris will pursue other options for insurance and report in April.
It was suggested that Yavapai County take over maintenance of the park, but this would mean transferring ownership to the county.
F. TRANSPORTATION. Janet Aniol presented a written report. ADOT has assured that funds are secure for the McGuireville Interchange improvements. The pedestrian/bike bridge cannot be considered because of funding and has been delayed for at least 3 years. The Beaver Creek Road reconstruction project is 2 weeks behind schedule, but is expected to be completed by May 15th. The advice to residents is to leave home earlier because delay is inevitable.
G. NEWSLETTER. Bob said all submissions should be in by March 15th.
H. MEMBERSHIP; Richard has placed signs at Rollins Park encouraging residents to join LMPOA. He will be removing them shortly. It was suggested he bring them to the Buzzard Rendevous event.
I. COMMUNITY CLEANUP. Per a letter from the County dated 2-29-08, they do not have funds at this time for a clean-up. Janet passed around a sign-up sheet for volunteers, but no date has been set.
J. SANDWICH BOARD SIGNS. A motion was made and passed to order three new signs, black print on yellow backround. The price will be $150.00 total.
K. LOGO. Yolanda Sprinz presented several design options for a colored logo for LMPOA. The board thanked her for her efforts. The final decision will be made next month.
VI NEW BUSINESS
Resignation of Richard Trask from Board. Lisa Taylor indicated an interest in becoming a Board member to take Richard's place.
Strategic Planning. Sally Kasner volunteered to chair a workshop to create a vision for Lake Montezuma. It was suggested that the emphasis be on a visioning strategy for the LMPOA board.
