Called to order by our Chairman, Bill Cook at 9:05 AM September 27th.
Reviewed the Board Code of Conduct and Responsibilities in regards to confidentiality. Board members are bound by this code even after their term has expired.
Bill commented on how well the campground was kept over the summer busy season. The roads are also in good shape.
The board accepted Mike Gaul’s resignation. Mike will be missed as a strong advocate and champion of Rimrock.
John has been accepted by the board to complete Mike Gaul’s term and will need to need to run for election in February.
Committee Reports:
Planning. Kevin and Pete are planning their fall comprehensive inspection of all the Rimrock lots for compliance to codes and modest aesthetics. This event usually results in a few letters reminding members to clean up their property.
Question brought up bout storing wrecked or unusable RVs on member lots.
ATV. Riders Meetings were being held every Saturday morning at 9:30 AM. So far ORV behavior quite good but there were a few reports of kids riding through campground not wearing helmets. A few complaints about the dirt bikers.
Communications & Conflict. Judie reported no issues so far.
Activity. No activities planned for this winter.
Old Business. Michael Wyman explained the 180 day rule. Basically the County code is more restrictive to members than the RR covenants. Some day we may want to petition the County for a variance if necessary. Kevin to cover the 180 day rule in the upcoming Rattler.
Dave Billingsly would like to bring in his cows around October 19th for 6 weeks.
Fire season is about over for the year without any range fires. Good job on everyone’s part in being careful.
Annexation to District 13 on hold until the Fire Marshal for Fire District 13 sends a petition to the Douglas County Auditor followed by a public hearing. If this creates no heartburn for anyone the resolution moves to the County Commissioners for final approval. After that Fire District 13 can annex RR into their district.
New Business. Reviewed the budget to date. Income at 90% and expenses at 70%. Lot sales are done for the year with approximately 50 people on the waiting list for next year. Tractor repairs projected at $3000.00 and the brush hog has reached the end of its useful life. Kevin to check on new equipment.
The pool table has been taken out of service and will need to be removed from the clubhouse. Although it proved to be popular, it was also terribly abused and created a few safety issues.
Items discussed to be placed on the ballot for an advisory vote from the membership at the Feb. Annual meeting.
Manager’s
Report: Wi-fi is a success. We get 6 Gig/month at $80.00/
month, enough to handle normal traffic excluding Gaming and movie downloads.
There is an additional cost of $2.50/gig over the initial 6 gig. With movie
downloads running about 5 Gig we need to raise the daily usage rate or block the
downloads.
Motion by Bill to raise the daily usage rate to $5.00 /day & $30.00/mo effective the first of the year, second by Gene with all in favor.
We have several contracts in arrears so we need board approval to have Mike proceed with foreclosure.
Motion by Judie second by Dave with all in favor.
Good of the Order: Board vacancies. Gene, Dom and John are timing out so we need to have everyone looking for good candidates for replacements. Send them to Kevin so we can have their bios ready prior to the end of December, for the annual meeting in Feb.
No news on getting a cell phone tower at Rimrock.
Playground equipment going to be installed at the back corner of the tent area.
Dates and Calendar. Next meeting will be on Jan 24th.
Motion made by Judie to adjourn, second by Dave, all in favor. Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted
Dominique Effray
Secretary.
