Meeting Called to Order - Russ

POA Members Comment The Robinson's were present at the meeting. Mr. Robinson stated his concerns about the horse trails in the Meadow. There are deep mud holes and deep ruts with pockets of water. His concern is how to drain water from those areas. Mr. Robinson said that he would like to help with the areas of concern and would help in the discussion of how to address the water drainage in those areas.

It was also discussed that plowing the rental driveways should be communicated to staff and that the driveways should be cleared by POA. It was communicated back to Mr. Robinson that that communication does exist at this time and every effort is made to clear the rental driveways.

Keys Cabin - Dave has come up with a plan that would help to make the Keys Cabin safer. He will be getting a materials list on the items that will be needed to minimally fix the cabin. It will be kept secure with a lock and hasp. He needs about $1,000 for the materials and has 2 or 3 volunteers to help with the work. He may be able to get donations of materials.

Fire Concerns - Russ. We are still moving forward with the escape routes. We have had a few meetings with the forest service. It has been determined that the escapes routes out Wagon Ridge or West Ridge are both passable by most pick-ups. Another escape route that was discussed was driving a pick-up out Daniel Boone Trail to escape out to the bottom via Elk Ridge or also to go to end of Elk Ridge and go out behind the Jurand's.

Trails - Eileen Abbie has set the weekend before the endurance ride for Trail Clean-up day.

Recreation - Delaine. The log cabin needs to be sealed. Delaine has already purchased the materials for that. There is $1,000 still in the budget for this.

Pool furniture is going to be bought. It has been determined that 5 chairs, 5 lounges, 5 tables are needed at the pool.

During K-Mart's closeout days many sports items were purchased. (Basketball, Frisbee, rackets, floats and miscellaneous lawn toys.)

The Tennis Courts were sealed in the spring of 2002. Dave Bridgers stated that the lighting on the courts needs some attention and that he would check that out.

Raymond Hansmann has always stocked the lake with fish. We have decided that we must continue to maintain that part and to have the lake stocked. Sources will be researched. It was also stated that the mosquitoes are very bad at the Lake. There is also a tree down in the Lake and it will be removed by the POA.

Security - The camera is working. The recorder had some problems but they have been fixed and it is now working. It was discussed that the lighting in the foosball room is bad. That will be addressed at a later time.

It was also discussed to change the POA gate code two times a year instead of the once/year.

Roads. The road committee (Russ Simmons, Eileen Jurand, Phil Whitson and Paul McWhirter) met with Jerry Gentle on Buckaroo and Mr. Gentle agreed to take over the extended driveway leading from Buckaroo Road and West Ridge. However, prior to that, the committee and board agreed to have the POA pay to put in a culvert to divert the run off from West Ridge. Ed Harrison will choose the optimal place to put the culvert. Approximate cost is about $1,500.

It was also stated that culverts around Leatherwood need to be cleaned and that handwork needs to be done around them. It was recommended to work with some of these other culverts instead of putting the money into the second Meadow culvert at this time.
