Public Comments
Property Owner Richard Feldt of Sweetwater Dr. is looking
for the quickest solution to the problem of non-county maintained
roads, in particular Sweetwater Drive. As we all pay taxes,
he is seeking a more equitable division of road funds. He
was directed to either seek help from the county commissioners,
as they are responsible for the roads in Archuleta County,
or hold an election to form a special road district where
we those owners can maintain their our own roads. Director
Smith pointed out that the commissioners’ intention
to formulate a road plan has never been accomplished. Mr.
Feldt informed the Board that County Commissioner Alden Ecker
would be present at a meeting at 201 Sweetwater on Mon., May
17, 2004 at 5:30 p.m.
Treasurer's Report
The April 2004 financial documents have been reviewed. No
discrepancies or irregularities were noted.
As noted in the Accounting report, collections of dues payments
through April 30, 2004 are 2.3% behind compared to 2003. This
is an improvement of 5.7% over the collections through March
31, 2004, compared to 2003.
Committee Reports
- Recreation Committee Report –- A meeting was held
on May 10, 2004. Director Nobles commented on the fact that
the Triathlon pays for itself, and that insurance costs
continue to rise. Also, the USFS charges us a $75 use fee
to use the path through the forest during the Triathlon.
The path is partially on USFS land, but they expect us to
maintain it. We also must furnish liability insurance for
the Triathlon, at a cost of $500. General Manager Lukasik
and Ming Steen are working on re-routing the Triathlon for
next year. Attendance at the Rec. Center is higher this
year, partly due to the increase in timeshare visitors.
Fishing license revenue is also up more than $3,000 from
last year.
- Lake, Fisheries & Parks and Lake Study Committee –-
Minutes not yet available.
- Ad Hoc Lake Study Committee –- Minutes from April
7, 2004 provided.
- ECC agenda and minutes were included in the DCC report
for your information. A committee report was included as
presented by liaison member Pierre Mion. Be advised that
p. 33 is incorrect. These are last year's figures rather
than this year's.
The regular Board of Directors meeting was temporarily adjourned
to allow the Board to meet in Executive session at 7:33 p.m.
The Board adjourned the turned from Executive session and
resumed the regular Board meeting at 7:43 p.m.
Old Business
- General Manager clarified drawing from Davis Engineering,
of proposed line placement at Hatcher Dam. LPEA is requesting
an easement on the greenbelt owned by PLPOA. South Shore
residents have approached council for an opinion on their
perspective. They are adamant that they will take legal
action if the line is run as proposed. Director Smith made
a motion to give LPEA a choice of condemnation of the greenbelt
to permit the line as they would like it to be, indemnification
to us against such legal action, or re-routing of the line
for South Shore Estates goodwill. Seconded by Director Nobles.
Motion carried unanimously.
- General Manager explained responses received to voter
rights comparison. Discussion of pro and con statements
of the proposed bylaw amendment.
New Business
- DPE Manager Lynch met with the golf course people management
on Monday, May 10, 2004. They presented
a proposal for golf ball flight safety at the north shore
of Village Lake. The Association does not have the
liability for golf ball injuries, and there are no state
statutes defining golf ball liability. They are all decided
on a case-by-case basis. Director Smith argued for marking
it as a hazardous area, not as an off limits area. Director
Nobles recommended advising people using the area of the
danger, and being pro-active with the golf course in signifying
the hazards on land and on water. Board agreed to cover
half the cost of buoys markers in an amount not to exceed
$250-300. As that is within the signage budget, no motion
to approve was necessary.
- Discrepancy noted in the figures provided by Curt Johnson.
Motion was made and seconded to adjust insurance limits
on the Rec. Center to be appropriate to reconstruction costs.
Discussion was made of requesting a second opinion on replacements
costs for the Rec. Center. Motion was made and seconded
to table the motion until such time as other bids could
be received and reviewed.
- Discussion was made regarding policy of replacement of
homes in case of total or partial loss in instances where
new building regulations have been put in place. Motion
was made and seconded to have General Manager Lukasik will
draft a resolution for the next Board meeting
regarding the grandfathering of the original size of the
home, relative to code. Motion carried.
- Affirmation of one DCC un-protested fine. Motion was made
and seconded to affirm fine. Director Bundy requested clarification
regarding the right to waive the fine, and was informed
that we do have that right. Motion carried unanimously.
- Director Nobles explained the voluntary Proclamation of
Water Wise Usage, and recommended the Board endorse it.
Motion was made and seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
Correspondence
There were 3 items of correspondence included for review.
Adjournment
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned
at 8:30 P.M.
Respectfully Submitted,
Gloria Petsch/ Recording Secretary
Leona F. Payne/ Corporate Secretary
Hugh Bundy, Vice President
