Wissler Ranch Homeowner's Association Board Meeting

May 17, 2006

Posted 10/8/06

Board members: Jim Montgomery, Gary Fish, Nick Dienes, Tony Gallo, Mike Sabath, Bob Lindow, Brian Freese, and Brian Sells
Homeowners: Mark Cookson, Kathleen McCormick, and Sue Shields

Under section 6 Old Business, replace the words "The water report" with "The water usage policy".

The 2006 Budget was mailed out to all homeowners. There were five letters returned because of invalid addresses and one person responded with a yes vote on the budget. The budget was approved at the last HOA meeting and will be brought up for adoption later in the meeting.
The Wissler Ranch HOA electric bill was five times the previous month's amount (which suggests a problem). The board suspects that the reason for the high electric bill was the malfunctioning well pump circuitry, which burnt out and had to be replaced.

Regarding the krebill water meter violation issue; there have been numerous attempts to contact the owner with no results, therefore the covenant committee requests a recommendation from the board on how to proceed. The board made the following recommendation: 1) Visit the home and attempt to contact the homeowner in person; 2) Apply the fine of $25 per day starting as of May 15; 3) If after contacting the homeowner in person the issue is still not resolved, contact the Great Divide Water Company to have them address the issue.

Two (2) new house plans approved for 19570 Box Oak way and 20175 Twisted Pine Drive.
One (1) landscape design approved for 4234 Slash Pine.

Beth Gannon reports that she has found that Elk Creek Meadows will do our front entrance maintenance for $115/month for six months (note, no maintenance needed during the winter). This is the same company that is currently doing our mowing for the common area. They will also give us a bid on doing some maintenance grading on the common area parking pad and walking path.
As mentioned early, the common area well pump circuitry was replaced because it was burnt out. Mario Salazar replace the failed circuitry.
The common area well pump filter was replaced because it was clogged with silt. Mario Salazar replaced the well pump filter.
The two doors that cover the common area well pump are being replaced because they were in need of maintenance and it is more economical to just replace the doors then to refurbish them. Also note that the door maintenance issue may have contributed to the well pump circuitry failure. Mario Salazar will replace the doors.
Mailbox lights - Mario Salazar tightened down the light fixtures in the Mailbox area structure so that they do not rattle (move) so much in the wind. Mario thinks that this was the reason for the frequent mailbox area lights bulb failure.

The water usage policy proposed by Nick Dienes, Tony Gallo, Frank Gyetvan was discussed and the following changes were agreed to:

Section 5: A receipt will be required for the initial filling of water features (pools, ponds, etc.).

Water usage Policy; A motion was made to take the final vote on the water usage policy to the next HOA meeting so that changes to section #5 (only) can be prepared before the next meeting.

There was some question and answers on the 2006 budget, with no resulting issues.
The 2006 budget was approved by the board at the last HOA meeting and since there were no issues the 2006 budget was adopted.

Brian Freese obtained the following proposal from Tri Lakes Disposal if Wissler Ranch switches to Tri Lakes Disposal

Brain Freese will obtain a competitive bid for trash disposal from Waste Management.
