I. MINUTES: The reading of the minutes of April 7, 2008 was waived. The minutes were then approved.
II. FINANCIAL REPORT. Chris presented a custom summary report for the period January 1 through May 5, 2008. Total income YTD is 7,240.00 and total net expense YTD is 2524.84. The report was approved.
III. DISCUSSION WITH RESIDENTS
A. ROLLINS PARK. Several issues were raised. Before we can provide a proposal to Chip Davis for the County taking over maintenance of the park, we need more information, e.g. could LMPOA maintain ownership, what rights would LMPOA have if the County takes over. There was a request from a member to revisit the need for a handicap ramp, but it is unclear who owns the curb. There was another request from residents to have the drop box for mail moved to the west end of the park. There is also a need for new striping, but the County will not do it because it is a "road", not a "parking lot". No Board action was taken.
B. BUSINESS MEMBERSHIP. A motion was passed to create a new category for business membership in LMPOA with yearly dues of $100.00. One business has already volunteered to join. The businesses benefit from Rollins Park and should support LMPOA.
IV.WEBSITE. The website address is www.lakemontezuma.us.
V. COMMITTEE REPORTS.
A. BEAVER CREEK REGIONAL COUNCIL. No report.
B. PLANNING AND ZONING. Bob reported that Luna Vista and Red Rocks Development got approved by the County Board of Supervisors.
C. COMMUNITY PLAN. Steve read the following statements to the Board:
Unsolicited from a member of LMPOA:
"It's my feeling that a secondary egress from Lake Montezuma should be the primary concern for LMPOA and all the residents.,
The Beaver Creek Census area roughly doubled in population between 1990 and 2000. Growth is not going to stop.
Whether or not there is a treatment plant or separate septic systems, traffic will still be the same once RRD starts selling lots. Doesn't matter. Traffic will increase. With a bridge near the proposed low water crossing the overwhelming majority of RRD traffic would use the second bridge."
"We should be lobbying hard for a temporary mitigation in the least."
Steve Sprinz
"Many of us have requested the access in person and in writing. So far that has lead only to a completed study with solutions. (And we worked hard to get that!) The money to build it and the access road have been diverted."
LMPOA Transportation committee
He suggested a petition to present to the County The County says it is short of funds so they stopped negotiating for the Rights of Way necessary to have a secondary crossing. Acquring ROWs is key, and will cost less now than in the future. A motion was made to have the President draft a letter to the County regarding the secondary crossing.
D. WATER/FLOODING. A reminder that property owners are eligible to purchase flood insurance. LMPOA should gather information for its members on how to acquire flood insurance. Karin Krippene volunteered to chair this committee.
E. PARK COMMITTEE. The Board felt there was sufficient funding to continue operating the park this year.
F. TRANSPORTATION. Janet prepared a comprehensive report on all transportation issues. (See attached). Janet informed the Board that Red Rock Development will be sending LMPOA a check for $12,000 to be used for the traffic plan.
G. MEMBERSHIP. Richard Casmier tendered his resignation as chairman of this committee and Lisa Taylor volunteered to take over. One of the goals was to solicit business memberships. Also a discussion was held regarding mailing reminder notices to property owners who were members two years ago but did not renew. The Board would like to see a cost estimate of printing and mailing such notices before deciding.
Ken reported that the membership signs were stolen from the spot near the golf course where they had been posted.
H. PUBLICITY. Carole Penfield-Krowne reported that the Bugle now carries regular announcements about LMPOA meetings in its prominent "Getting Involved" column. Yolanda Sprinz designed a "reminder" flyer to be distributed at local meetings of groups like the Garden Club, Women's Civic Club, Kiwanis, etc. It will also be posted in the Adult Center and other local spots.
VI OLD BUSINESS. See above regarding current status of Indian Lakes, secondary access and new board members. Ken Kasner announced his intention to resign from the Board due to the fact that he is relocating to the Prescott area.
VII NEW BUSINESS.
A. The Board passed a motion to pay for a stone in Rollins Park for E. Lodge. The estimated cost will be $60.00.
B. The Board passed a motion to donate $100.00 toward the fencing for the Hopi Gardens near the Montezuma Well.
