I.
GUEST SPEAKER. Kala Pearson gave a power
point presentation on the Ranch House Community Coalition Development Plan,
which is focused on restoring and owning the Ranch House restaurant as a
community owned and controlled asset. A
new Arizona not-for-profit corporation, the Beaver Creek Community Corporation
was formed for this purpose. Kala
discussed the history of the Ranch House and its recent downward spiraling
trend. The core action team is focused on restoring the Ranch House as
community owned and controlled.
The
first step is to enter into a long term lease with options to renew and
ultimately purchase the Ranch House property. The plan is to do necessary restoration and repairs. The photos showed a need for massive cleanup
and restoration of the electrical system. The goals are to secure safety,
replace flooring and kitchen equipment, revive the lounge (while retaining the
original charm) and to promote restoration of the golf course.
The
coalition plans to raise funds by seeking individual, non-profit and business
members, who would have an ownership interest in the restaurant property with
additional member advantages.
A
letter of intent has been submitted to the owners and Kala hopes they will have
a lease in hand soon. Following a 90 day construction period, with the help of
community members in the manner of an old fashioned “barn raising”, it is hoped
the restaurant may open by September 1, 2010. The restaurant will be open to the public. The proposal does not include obtaining the
golf course, only the 3+ acres on which the Ranch House stands. The liquor
license goes with the restaurant and only needs to be renewed.
[Note:
A copy of the PowerPoint presentation will be placed in the LMPOA minutes
notebook at BCAC. There is also an article in the May 5th Bugle
regarding the plan. For further
information, contact Kala at Luna Vista B&B.]
A
show of hands of the attendees resulted in 100% support for the plan.

VII. COMMITTEE REPORTS
Community
Plan Sharon reported that each committee has been
asked to rank their goals and objectives.
Golf
Club A letter has been sent requesting the owners
to cut the grass and weeds. Lee Weller reported that a permit has been issued
to do the striping for golf cart crossings. A motion was passed to
allocate $400 toward the striping of the crossings, one of which will also
serve as a trail crossing.
Membership Marie set up
a nice table at the Buzzards Rendezvous and gave out lots of material about
LMPOA. Maggie said we have 201 paid up
members to date. Another reminder will be
placed in the upcoming newsletter.
Newsletter Deadline for Input for the next issue is Sunday,
May 9th.
Park Bill reported that the fountain is now working
and he is still waiting on bids for sidewalk improvements. A thank you will be sent to Jeff Dykhuis who
worked on the electric in Rollins Park.
Publicity/Concerts A discussion was held regarding the cancellation of
the April concert and rescheduling the Rimrockers. Carole will call Jess Ebel to see whether
they are available on May 22 at 10:00 am. There is a function at the BCAC that morning so there will be potential
listeners around the park.
P&Z See written P&Z report by Steve Sprinz, attached
to these minutes.
Trails
& Transportation The McGuireville interchange project has been
delayed due to the need to re-engineer a portion of the ramp. The construction may be completed by July 1.
On
Saturday, May 8th, the Trails committee will begin actual work on
the trail from Rollins Park to Sycamore Park. Volunteers will begin cleaning the path, starting at Rollins Park. The hours will be 7:30 am to 11:00 am. They
will also be doing work on May 15th, same hours.
Water. Information
for ordering water testing kits was available for residents, who wish to their
own well water themselves. There is a
charge. Contact Karin Krippene for more
information.
Karin
attended the Verde Valley Water Users meeting. The San Pedro litigation is ongoing. ADWR lost funding, which may slow things down. Karin also attended the Verde Valley Water
Advisory Committee meeting.
Karin
tried to set up a meeting with Chip Davis to discuss the bridge issue, but he
asked her to work through Charlie Cave. A motion was passed to send the board approved letter to
Charlie, with a copy to Chip. There was
also a good article about LMPOA’s ongoing efforts to get the County to do
something about the flooding potential in last week’s Bugle newspaper.
VI.

Bylaws, which have been submitted to all members for review. There were no comments. A vote was taken of all LMPOA members in
