July
Meeting of the Rimrock Board of Directors
Called to order @ 9:34 AM
Statement by Chairman: Campground in good shape, people well behaved except for some drinkers and a few others.
Planning: Kevin –
Most construction under 200 sq. ft. Time to take a tour of Rimrock to check for derelict structures.
ATV: Dale –
ATV traffic calm to date. No major road damage. Important to give out ATV rules to all riders. Dale shared maps of adjacent riding areas within a 100 mile radius. Post in clubhouse and make copies for those that are interested.
Com & Conflict: Curly –
Incident at the pool involving the rule about bringing food into the pool area. Some members are over exuberant in dealing with transgressors. A complaint was filed on 7/15/06. The issue was discussed and we all agree that Kevin needs to remind those people that they are often offensive and intimidating to other RR members. The key thing to remember is that we need to treat each other with respect and involve the staff when issues arise.
Capital projects: Kevin –
Campground final costs came in at just under the $70,000.00 budgeted, right on budget. (No cost overruns allowed at RR)
New Business:
Open Meeting structure; Budget, Lot sales, Trailer hookups, Potluck, Open question and suggestions.
Is there a need to have some way of identifying RR members, cards, keys t-shirts?
Employee attire. Long sleeve shirts, pants, and boots. What are the WISHA guidelines for work clothes?
Shorts OK, Shirt needed, no open toed shoes.
Curly proposes that we abolish the dump fee.
$180.00 collected to date at dump station. The dump fee helps pay down the campground project. We use the honor system to collect the fee. The fee is relatively insignificant. – Motion dies
Curly proposes a riders meeting every Sat. morning @10:00 AM. Everyone planning to ride needs to attend to review rules and safety issues. Bring up idea at open mtg.
Curly proposes that we hire security personnel to safeguard RR and private property.
Off duty police are in short supply; full time security is cost prohibitive, extensive property difficult to cover effectively.
Run a trial on Labor Day weekend with Curly as security patrol from 4:00 PM to Midnight. (Compensation $8.00 to $10.00 / hr.)
Curly mentioned that the RR sign by highway 2 is
faded and needs to be refreshed. Question is do we need approval from the DOT,
and are there risks involved in bringing up the subject. Such as; will we need a
permit, are there any laws regulating road signs that we could be out of
compliance with; could we be asked to just take it down?
Te consensus is that we need to do something. Either fix it up and make
it more attractive or take it down before it becomes a hazard. Kevin will ask
someone at the department.
Curly asked to change the date of the Sept mtg. As it stands we meet at the Time Out Pizza on the 30th of Sept.
Old Buisness:
Dom asks if we are in agreement on the value of having Jon at the board meetings. Most feel that we enjoy having access to immediate legal advice and also appreciate the element of continuity that he brings.
Manager’s Report:
Net income is up mainly due to strong lot sales. If this trend continues we will need to get a 5 year plan put together to address the needs of a growing RR community. The plan would have to include items like a new multi purpose building, expanded laundry facilities, a quiet room for card players, bigger kitchen, handicap access, playground equipment, activities director, even a new pool, just to name a few.
Good of the Order:
Dale is looking ahead at what to do with the camp fee once
the project is paid off.
Motion by Dom to adjourn, second by Curly, all in favor. Meeting adjourned @11:55 AM
