Director Streseman made the motion, with a second by Director Valentine.

MOTION: That the Board concurs with the Design Review Group’s recommendation and accepts the Gallup Construction bid of $1,354,000 for construction of the Community Center.

The motion was unanimously carried.

DISCUSSION

The Planning Committee will brief the Board on the status of the Association’s Master Plan, projects that are presently included in this plan and the source of funds for these projects, the results of the Town Hall Meetings that were held on May 6th and May 14th, and changes to the existing Master Plan that the Board will be asked to approve during the Board’s June Meeting. (0804-10, Planning Committee)

Chair Gary Eckhardt said that there were two Town Hall Meetings about the plan, and they were very well-received. Copies have been submitted to Board Members, requesting feedback to the Planning Committee.

NEW BUSINESS

1. The Board will be asked to approve FY 2008/09 Replacement Reserve Funds not to exceed $20,000 for installing 6’ chain link perimeter fence commencing at the North Gate and proceeding north for approximately 1,600 linear feet. (0805-07, Findley/Public Safety Committee/Arne/Haushalter).

 

Director Valentine made the motion, with a second by Director Springer.

MOTION: That the Board approves 2008/09 Replacement Reserve Funds not to exceed $20,000 for the perimeter fencing along Pleasant Valley Road beginning on the north side of the North Gate entrance and continuing approximately 1,600 feet. The Board also authorizes staff to use Empire Fence as the sole source contractor for this project since Empire Fence has been the Association’s fence contractor for many years, their prices are very competitive, and the quality of their work is outstanding. The project would not commence prior to June 1, 2008.

Don Hatten said possibly we can go out next year and get more bids. Director Pack questioned the “like for like” concept under Replacement Reserves. Other Members questioned the intent for all of this fencing.

and Valentine voting nay and Director Springer voting yes.

MOTION: That the Board authorizes FY 2008/09 Golf Operational Funds not to exceed $3,500 for a USGA greens expert to provide a detailed written analysis of each of the Association’s greens as well as the life expectancy of each of these greens.

The motion was carried unanimously.

4. The Board will be asked to approve a Weed Abatement Contract with Western Land Renovators (WLR) to clear the Association’s greenbelts, road shoulders, and areas of the golf course of weeds and ladder fuels, as well as clear Members’ lots that are not in compliance with our Weed Abatement Program. (0805-10, Arne/Haushalter).

Director Springer made the motion, with a second by Director Streseman.

MOTION: That the Board authorizes staff to let a contract with Western Land Renovators for this year’s annual Weed Abatement Program. The exact amount of the contract will be determined by the number of Member lots that are cleared and the time required to clear Association lots. Whatever amount is charged, funds have been budgeted to cover the expenses that will not exceed $17,000.

Director Doscher asked whether foreclosed, empty lots are cleared, and General Manager Haushalter said that those lots are cleared.

The motion was carried unanimously.

5. The Board will be asked to approve the Association’s insurance providers, the amount of insurance, the type of coverage for fiscal year 2008/09, and the dollars to pay for these policies. Insurance policies include property, general liability,

automobile, crime, inland marine, umbrella, excess crime, and Directors & Officers. (0805-11, Haushalter/Olivas).

Director Pryor made the motion, with a second by Director Streseman.

MOTION: That the Board of Directors approves renewing the lowest priced comprehensive package policy with the same or better coverage through a carrier TBD once the bids are received, in an amount not to exceed $185,000. Should the final quote for the comprehensive package policy exceed $185,000, if time permits for the Board to meet and approve additional funds, such a meeting will be requested. However, if time does not permit a meeting, staff is authorized to select the lowest bidder and renew the policy so it does not expire.

The motion was carried unanimously.
