Mountain Homeowners Association
Meeting
Minutes
November 5 , 2005
Alan opened meeting submitting names of Ruth Schmieden and Don Jacobs to
fill the vacancies on the Board of Directors for Secretary and Member at
Large until the election of new Board at the annual May meeting.
Ruth Schmieden shared the history of the Homeowners Association and the
by-laws that were put in place in l975 and recorded with Jefferson
County, to enforce the covenants and encourage the development of a
community. Ruth shared the benefits of being a community and listed
some of the accomplishments achieved by the Homeowners Association since
that period.
Treasures report was given by Nancy and discussed. Some had issues regarding money spent on Lawyers Fee exceeding the amount of $700. Alan
and Nancy agreed they were also surprised by the bill and would not let
that happen again. Nancy showed Elk Creek Fire signs with addresses on
them and said anyone who paid their dues would receive one for their
property.
Alan discussed the Oct. meeting where a poll was taken regarding whether
those present would like Homeowners Association membership to be mandatory and those who would
like it to remain voluntary. The vote was tied. According to the by-laws this
vote must be taken to all property owners. There was much discussion
regarding this and many questions. Vern Schmieden made a motion for a
straw poll of those present for the Association to remain voluntary
membership. It was seconded and discussed. The vote was 17 for
voluntary, 6 for mandatory, 6 abstained.
Bruce Riley, our Fire Chief and neighbor, shared information regarding
the fire Thursday Morning, Nov. 3, 2005 down by Richmond Hill which
burned 4 acres. A beetle kill tree that fell on a live power line
started it. Elk Creek and the State Forrest Service are doing
controlled burns in our area to reduce fire danger. Anchor point
investigators are on the Mountain checking out our homes to see if a
fire truck can make it up our driveways and be able to turn around,
location of our homes, and any recommended slash removal. We are allowed
to burn slash with a permit issued by Elk Creek Fire Main Office. Bruce
shared diagram how we as homeowners need to clear slash around our homes
and check out trees on power lines and report them to IREA.
Laura Uselton proposed that we as an association adopt the Kennedy Gulch
Road from 285 up 2 miles for trash pick up twice a year. The new signs
will have CMHA on them. Many agreed to help.
The meeting was closed at 11:45 AM.
