RR Board Pre-Meeting

 

Present: Bill Cook, Dale Knowlton, Dave Mayer, Gene McNeil, Mike Gaul, Judie Sarff, Kevin Danby and Dom Effray

Meeting called to order by our Chairman, Bill Cook at 10:00AM

 

1.      Review of general meeting agenda and presentation.

Bill and Judie up for reelection.

Proposal for annexation into Fire District 13.

Advisory on manufactured homes.

 

2.      Kevin reports on the snowfall and the clearing done with the tractor. How involved should we get in helping members and could this result in more exposure to property damage and liability. We need a policy to address plowing roads for residents or just not take on that responsibility. As always please call to check on road conditions before coming down as the roads get very soft when the frost leaves.

 

3.      Kevin introduced Mike Wyman, our new legal representative, a native to Grant County.

 

4.      Someone asked what the chance of expanding the RV storage area is and the quick answer is that we are maxed out for space at the present location which is ideally situated for convenience and security. And what is the status of the tennis court. Kevin has two bids for the repairs, both costly for the amount of usage and with no guarantees on durability.

 

 

Motion to adjourn for lunch.

 

 

                                February 2008 Annual Meeting

 

 

Meeting called to Order by our Chairman Bill Cook at 1:05 PM, Dale verified that we have a quorum.

 

Introduction of the Board including Mike Wyman.

 

 

Treasurer’s report:  Kevin reviewed the revenue and expense statements. Explained the lot sales strategy and impact on income. Displayed the financials of the last few years to show how well the Association has done.

       Fielded questions on using RR personnel to market member lots. Maintaining a “green book” to manage individual lot s up for resale. Having RR buy back member lots. Posting lots for sale on a bulletin board or on RR web site.

      Questions on choosing how we invest our reserves. Are our investments amounts beyond the FDIC coverage limits?

       Questions about the status of the well and the depth and capacity.

 

Election Of Directors:  Mike Campbell, Bill Cook, and Judie Sarff were voted in to the 3 positions open on the board.

 

Advisory Vote:  The membership is in favor of having the board pursue annexation into Grant County Fire District 13.

 

Proposed Amendment. Proposal #4 has the approval of the majority of the membership. There were some concerns about policing this new amendment

 

Manger’s Report:  Kevin brought us up to date on the winter conditions. Lot of snow kept the tractor busy with plowing and towing.

Last year’s projects include: replacement of the septic system cover, staining a good portion of the outside wall of the clubhouse, removal of damaged asphalt parking pads and re leveling with gravel, replacement of swimming pool fence to meet the new code, Kitchen door replacement and addition of wifi to the campground.

The telephone line extension policy may be changing and line extensions may no longer be available.

 

Questions:  Someone asked if there was any interest in having the annual meeting in Ephrata. No show of hands on that.

      Will there be any cattle grazing in the spring? Only in the Fall or Winter to eat down the dead grass.

The 180 day rule was questioned again. Article 2 Section 9, Covenants, pretty well covers it as well as being more flexible the County ordinances.

 

Awards: Presentation of service awards to Dale Knowlton and Jon Clark for their dedicated service to RR.

 

Good of the Order: Looking for a camp host for the May, June time frame as Ted won’t be able to help out this year.

 

Trivia give-away and door prizes to finish up the meeting
