PINE BROOK HILLS HOMEOWNER’S
ASSOCIATION
GENERAL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 26, 2005
The Wednesday, October 26, 2005, general meeting of the Pine Brook Home
Owners Association was held at 12 Boulder View Lane. This location was
chosen because of dam construction around the meeting hall. The meeting was
called to order by Vice President Tim Triggs at 7:05
Minutes: Minutes of the July 31 meeting were moved, seconded, and
approved.
Treasurer's Report: Since Treasurer Alex Baris was unable to attend,
no report was given. Tim Triggs assumed no major changes would be evident
until the next meeting.
Boulder Mountain Fire Protection District: Suzanne Adams reported
that 124 of the fire scouts have been installed in the Boulder Mountain Fire
Protection District. Of those, 40 are inside Pine Brook Hills, and 4 more,
paid for by the PBH HOA, have been installed in Sunshine Canyon. It is hoped
to have some future installations in Left Hand Canyon as well. Yearly
maintenance of these will be provided. The district has received grants
totaling $150,000 so far this year for its own
prevention/education/mitigation programs.
Timber Lane Shaded Fuel Break: Eighty four
property owners along the Timber Lane corridor have been contacted to give
permission to mark and remove trees for this project. Projected completion
is sometime next year. The project involves a total of $44,000 on 44 acres.
The project will be paid for by a Colorado State Forest Service grant PLUS
funds from the Pine Brook Hills HOA voluntary dues (50% each). Property
owners are encouraged to send in permission so this work can proceed.
Reservoir Report: Tim Triggs spoke for Bob De Haas who was not
present. The foundation has been readied with a bottom slot to avoid
slippage. This will be completed next week. The next step is grinding of
rock to be added to sand for concrete. This should take two weeks. This will
then be graded and rolled. Poured concrete against the inside walls will
follow. So far the project is on budget with the finish date of late
December 2005 still on target. Negotiations are underway between the
proposed one year back fill delay so the dam water will sit for a year
versus building the filtration plant where the back fill is currently
stored.
Beetle Busters: Suzanne reported a very successful training
session was held last Saturday. There is a warning that this is the worst
Colorado beetle infestation in years so residents are asked to be alert and
ask Suzanne for assessment if there are problem suspicions. Colorado has
lost 600,000 acres of trees to beetles in the last 6 years. It is probably
possible to save a tree that has 3 or less beetles hits present.
HOA Liability Insurance: Insurance has been purchased to cover HOA
and officer assets. Pam will investigate concerns about personal coverage
for officers.
Election of 2006 Officers: The slate of proposed officers was presented,
opened to floor nominations, and a vote taken. The slate was approved.
President Tim Triggs
Vice Pres. Mark Menagh
Secretary. Margit Mestagh
Treasurer. Alex Baris
Member at Large. Pam Creswell
Committee chairs and members are still being sought. Pam agreed to
coordinate the social committee and newcomers committee. Eleanor Patten has
agreed to help but more committee members are needed.
NEW BUSINESS:
A request was made for names of snowplowing companies.
We were reminded that change forms for the directory need to be received by
November 3, 2005.
A suggestion was received for an automatic sign for HOA announcements. This
will be investigated. The deer warning sign at the bottom of Linden has
disappeared. Could a more attention creating sign be erected, i.e. Fox
Crossing, to remind drivers of wildlife presence.
Deborah Menagh agreed to assume Pine Brook Press advertising duties.
The meeting was adjourned at 8 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Eleanor J. Patten, Secretary |
