PONDEROSA COMMUNITY CLUB, INC.
BOARD MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 13, 2005
Meeting called to order by President Jim Lawson. Board members
present were Roy Daggett, Bill Allison, Melanie Green, and Judy
Toenyan. The minutes of the July meeting were read and approved.
Secretary’s Report: Judy reported that she has been sending
out past due notices and letters to home owners that are over
due on their balances. Some money is coming in from those notices.
Treasurer’s Report: Bill gave the current figures for
income and expenses. He also reported that the Board is actively
persuing those that refuse to pay or conform to our By-laws.
Directors of Operations: Roy reported that new “no parking
signs” are posted. If vehicles are in the way of snow-plowing,
etc. they will be towed at the owners expense. We have a new
towing company working for us that will be on call 24 hours/day.
The third well is done, with one more to go.
Vice President Report: Melanie asked that the committee for
Property Management keep in touch with her. She should be invited
to all their scheduled meetings. Bobbie Lambert mentioned that
the Board had all received a copy of the proposal. The question
was raised concerning salary and Roy mentioned that he was getting
information also as to the renting of, or purchasing of, equipment.
Motion was made and seconded to accept Melanie’s report.
Bobbie asked how current the budget report was, as unsure if
the Greenbelt total was correct. Bill responded.
Bldgs/Grounds Report: Diane Johansen reported that they still
did not have a chair-person. She has scheduled an electrician
to come out and give an estimate for installing hand dryers.
She will try and schedule a committee meeting this month so that
they can work on a budget.
Greenbelt: Bobbie reported that Balsamroot trail has now been
barked. Jim Lawson mentioned that the loggers will not be out
til the fall, and all trees had been marked. The limbs, brush
will be burned after the first snowfall. The loggers will remove
the trees that are on the BPA right-of-way. Roy mentioned that
he knows someone with a machine that will come in and repair
the greenbelt area that is now torn up.
Roads: No chair-person yet and no meeting this month. Bobbie
asked if paving would be done on the dirt roads at some time
in the future. Roy mentioned that he considers the oil to be
a waste of money and would like alternate methods.
Social: Sharyl reported the ice cream social was a success.
Current balance is $170. Roy mentioned that the volunteer dinner
to be held today is being paid for by the Board. Anything left
over will be donated to the social committee.
Water Improvement: Project going well. Well #2 was dry, therefore
they moved to a different location. There will be a slight difference
in the budgeted amount.
Budget: No report.
Ombudsman: Bobbie Olson reported on a complaint from an owner
where someone’s dog had bitten a member of his family.
She wanted to see signs posted. Roy mentioned that we have no
way to enforce the issue. A security patrol could be hired, however
it would have to be added to the budget and could be expensive.
One home owner suggested a fine against the dogs owner, however
we don’t always know where that dog belongs. Although it
was suggested that signs be posted, we might want to be careful
about how many signs we start putting up in the community. If
the county is called, it will take them an hour or more to respond.
By-laws may have to be changed if people insist. A question was
also raised regarding smoking in the pool area. Although we have
never had a problem, it may be something to look into. Do we
want another sign? Bobbie Lambert suggested that the Board and
Ombudsman sit down and make some guidelines regarding ATV’s,
dogs, smoking, etc.
Un-finished Business: Bobbie Lambert talked to Barbara Watson
regarding the corner at camp 12 road and Plain. They are not
willing to cut any trees. Roy suggested calling the Sheriff to
voice a complaint.
President Jim requested that all committee heads give a written
report to their respective board member, thus making it easier
for the Secretary to report.
New Business: Terry Drexler suggests that a garbage can be placed
down by the river where the rafters come out to get rid of their
garbage.
Sharyl Nelson mentioned that the rest area commitment is September
6 th thru 9 th.. Cookies and volunteers are needed.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted
Judy Toenyan, Secretary
