DATE OF MEETING 1-5-2009 MEETING CALLED TO ORDER: 5:00 pm
BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Sharon Brooks, Janet Aniol, Steve Sprinz, Carole Penfield-Krowne, and Karin Krippene. A quorum was present.
OTHER RESIDENTS PRESENT: 4
I. MINUTES: The minutes from December, 2008 were approved as amended.
II. FINANCIAL REPORT. There was no financial report due to the absence of the treasurer. Janet stated that she did not receive the reimbursement for the Brighter Side which costs were approved at the November meeting. Also, that the money voted to be donated to the Adult Center was never received.
Under her authority as President, Sharon Brooks appointed Maggie Holt as a new member of the LMPOA board and assigned her to be the new Treasurer.
A motion was made and passed by unanimous vote authorizing Maggie Holt as a signator on the three LMPOA bank accounts at the National Bank of Arizona. Maggie is to take a copy of these official minutes to the Bank to evidence this vote.
III. GUEST SPEAKER: None this month. Karin will contact Dwayne Wyles about being our guest speaker in February or March. There are important issues for well owners in this area and the pending Salt River Project lawsuit, which will be up for discussion. Flyers will be posted announcing this important speaker.
IV. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. TRANSPORTATION. Janet presented a summary of her monthly report and answered questions. (See copy of report attached to these minutes). Janet suggested that the Board meet soon for budget planning. She also passed out a "wish list" itemizing certain improvements to be submitted to the BOS. LMPOA should ask for these improvements to be funded by President-elect Obama's stimulus infrastructure plan. Discussion was held on these items. One addition was to pave the well road. Anyone with other suggestions for additions or changes should notify Janet.
There are three scheduled slide presentations on the VV Multimodal Transportation study next week. The study has listed the secondary crossing and the improvement of the well road as "either-or" , but not both. Concerned property owners should attend one of the meetings or comment to phil.bourdon@co.yavapai.az.us before the meetings stating concern that both are important, especially as safety issues.
B. PLANNING and ZONING. Steve gave a brief presentation on disposition of Zoning Ordinance Amendment HA #H7178 (See attached report) and its implications. It was approved by the Board of Supervisors on December 15th. The Board thanked Steve for his hard work in getting these amendments passed.
The January 21st meeting of the P&Z Commission has been cancelled.
The issue of Open Space and Sustainable Development Option, including the 3 alternatives, may surface for BOS decision in February. Steve says there is little doubt that it will pass. These are the new alternatives to illegal Lot Splits.
C. PARKS. Sharon will recontact Chip Davis regarding a possible role for the County in maintaining Rollins Park.
D. WATER/FLOODING. Karen will try to schedule Dwayne Wyles from the Verde Valley Water Association as a guest speaker in February or March.
Karin thanked the Board for helping decorate for Holiday Fest, which was a big success. A motion was passed to hold a work session in March at the storage locker to organize and discard or donate decorations which LMPOA is unlikely to use in the future. The storage locker is very full.
E. PUBLICITY/Concert Series. The Bugle published a notice of this annual meeting in three separate issues. Despite this notice, few members came tonight. Janet mentioned that this is an electronic world now, and people get their information online without having to attend meetings. Additionally, tonight was the Fiesta Bowl football game.
The Spring concert season will be held on the last Sunday in March and April. Two music groups have already been lined up for the April concert (The Rimrockers and The Hired Hands). Carole will contact the Beaver Creek School and Michael Showers to see if their students are available to perform at the March concert. It was suggested that the hip-hop teacher might have her students perform.
F. WEBSITE/Newsletter. New links have been added to the website. There will be a special meeting to put together the January issue of the Brighter Side, which will include mailing envelopes for those members who have not yet paid their dues. The meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 24th at the Adult Center.
G. BEAVER CREEK REGIONAL COUNCIL/ COMMUNITY PLAN. No report
H. MEMBERSHIP. Due to her work hours, Lisa Taylor stated she could not commit to chair this committee.
A discussion was held whether the Articles of Incorporation and or bylaws preclude allowing LMPOA membership to anyone other than owners within the original 36 subdivisions. It is possible to change the Articles, but it must be done through the State Corporation Commission. Changing bylaws is easier.
V. OLD BUSINESS The minutes from the last few years have still not been located. Jim informed the Board that he might have some from the years he served as secretary.
VI NEW BUSINESS Election. Due to lack of a quorum of members at this annual meeting, the Board agreed by consensus that the following members will continue to serve as executive board members for the year 2009: Sharon Brooks, Carole Penfield-Krowne, Steve Sprinz, Janet Aniol, Karin Krippene, Chris Beisecker and Maggie Holt.
REMINDER: Everybody needs to pay their LMPOA dues for 2009!!!
VI ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:42 p.m.
Respectfully submitted
