III. DISCUSSION WITH RESIDENTS
A. INSURANCE. Guest speaker with Kelley Gahanr-Reay of Draxler insurance. She did not feel that directors/officers insurance was necessary because the LMPOA does not make decisions that affect members. LMPOA is more like an advisory committee that gives recommendations for action to the County, but has no legal authority to make final decisions. However, she agreed that LMPOA does need general liability insurance. She gave a quote of $348 annual premium for $2 million aggregate and $1 million per occurance. She also stated that this policy covers LMPOA for its meetings, regardless of where the meetings are held. After reviewing bids from three insurance agencies, the Board passed a motion to accept the Draxler proposal for general liability insurance. Chris Beisecker received thanks for working hard to find good insurance for LMPOA at reasonable rates.
B; ROLLINS PARK. Carole Penfield-Krowne presented the initial report from the task force. Richard Casmier pointed out that it takes 128 members to pay for park maintenance. A discussion was held whether LMPOA would be willing to give up ownership of Rollins Park to the County. No action was taken.
C. BEAVER CREEK SCHOOL. Karin Ward, principal of the school, presented a request for funds to purchase a new printer to replace the one that is broken. A motion was passed to donate $650.00 to the Beaver Creek school to purchase a printer.

V. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. TRANSPORTATION. Janet Aniol reported that the I-17 interchange improvements will start this fall. Dallas Hammit will speak at the LMPOA meeting on June 2, 2008. The Beaver Creek Road project is on schedule for completion May 15th.
The committee met with Red Rock Development following the last meeting and they have agreed to certain requests, including paying for a traffic plan to slow traffic, installing a larger pipe from the proposed wastewater treatment plan to the golf course, modified hours for construction, and certain covenants in their CCRs. (See Janet's report for full details). Steve Sprinz recommended that this agreement be put into a "letter of intent", rather than a stipulation. He also recommended we request a temporary secondary access road for construction of Indian Lakes.
Jim Bennet, a community member, brought a signed petition requesting LMPOA reverse its decision to support Red Rocks' treatment plan, expressing concerns that the developers may ask ADEQ to form a sewer district and force septic owners to hook on. Bob McClarin explained the reasons LMPOA supported the new plan, adding that the pipe is one way and sewage cannot be pumped up the hill without building a lift station. If such action should be proposed, LMPOA would object.
B. BEAVER CREEK COMMUNITY PLAN. Steve Sprinz reported it is on track. They hold frequent meetings. A motion was made by Bob McClarin to donate $100.00 to cover the costs of printing and mailing the survey. The motion passed unanimously. A second motion was made by Bob McClarin to donate $100.00 to the Community Plan in memory of Eddie Lodge. The motion passed, with one opposing vote.
