BUSINESS TO BE CONDUCTED

 

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

4.  Approve/Disapprove a cost of $925.00 for fencing at Equestrian Park and a replacement gate at Heritage Park to allow the courts to be locked at night

On May 15, 2009 the Board of Directors approved changes to the Membership Handbook / Rules and Regulations related to locking the tennis courts at night, due primarily to the amount of vandalism occurring at both locations.

 

On November 13, 2009 it was presented to the HROA Board that in order to facilitate this, the tennis courts at Equestrian Park should have additional chain-link fencing installed to keep persons from jumping over the short 3' fence.  This was estimated at approximately $3,700.00.  It was also presented that the tennis court at Heritage Park needed a replacement gate as there is not one there currently.  This was estimated at approximately $300.00.

 

Staff was directed to provide an alternative fencing bid at Equestrian Park and bring this item back before the HROA Board.

 

5.  Approve/Disapprove an alternative repair to the exterior of the Association Office building for a cost not to exceed $3,000.00

This item was discussed at the April 17, 2009 Board Meeting, with the HROA Board requesting a composite material be bid for comparison to the T 1-11 proposed.

 

On May 8, 2009 the HROA Board approved a budget of $2,000.00 to purchase and install composite siding.  (At that meeting the concern over the weight of the composite siding vs the T 1-11 was not resolved.)

 

After consultation, it has been determined the composite siding would require its own structural framing / foundational support to handle the weight load.  It is therefore proposed HROA proceed with a combination of T 1-11 and composite siding with the addition of an extended roof overhang on the south-east facing (front) portion of the building for additional protection.  This will allow the Maintenance Department to proceed with this project.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

6.  Approve/Disapprove a second 90-Day AEC extension for Ortiz, Lot 270 / Tract 452, Landscape and Driveway Project

On January 22, 2009 the Ortizs received approval from the AEC Committee for a landscape and driveway project.  The

approval stated they had six months to complete the project.  The completed project requires a final sign-off from HROA.  No Compliance Deposit is required for a project such as this.

 

On July 8, 2009 the Ortizs received a 90-day extension from the AEC Committee to complete the project. On October 30, 2009 the Ortizs were notified by letter that their extension had lapsed.  On November 8, 2009 the Ortizs notified HROA they needed an additional extension, at which time they were notified the matter would be referred to the HROA Board.

 

7.  Approve/Disapprove repairs / maintenance to the two tennis courts at Equestrian Park and the basketball court at Heritage Park for a cost not to exceed $                total

Approximately every five (5) years the asphalt-based tennis courts and basketball court are scheduled to receive repairs / maintenance to the surface, which avoids long-term damage that would occur otherwise.  Replacement nets are also included in this price for both courts at Equestrian Park.  Windscreens have not been replaced (for several years) at the Equestrian Park tennis courts mostly due to the cost involved.  Payment of this would be out of the Reserve Fund.


DISCUSSION ITEMS
:

8.  New Year’s Eve Party (adult)

This item was requested to be added by tenants Greg Howard and Carol Watson who are requesting to sponsor a “for profit” New Year’s Eve Party at the Rec Barn this year.  (Note: “adult” means 21 and older)

 

In October 2009 Greg Howard and Carol Watson proposed to have a “for profit” Halloween Party (adult).  The HROA Board approved that request under the following conditions: 1) the party is shut down at midnight; 2) Greg and Carol hire at least one security person from a licensed security firm to attend the entire event; 3) Greg and Carol provide a certificate of insurance naming HROA as an additional insured; 4) HROA provide free use of the Rec Barn; 5) that the party be available to all members, residents and tenants and their guests, only; 6) HROA to provide free use of website and print flyers as requested for free advertising the event, and 7) Greg and Carol obtain a liquor license in their name, allowing them to sell liquor at the event.  The Halloween Party was cancelled when a liquor licence could not be obtained in time for the party.  Greg and Carol have since submitted an application for a liquor license. 

 

GM Richey contacted Carol Watson in advance of this Board Meeting, to clarify several issues, including that it be assumed that a liquor license be obtained for the New Year’s Eve Party in Greg and Carol’s name, if alcohol is going to be served.  Carol stated that she understood that to be the case and that she further understood that this matter would be placed before the HROA Board.

 

9.  Purchase of a Replacement Truck for HROA Security

It is recommended that one of the Maintenance trucks be given to HROA Security, and that a long-bed used truck (with low mileage) be purchased for Maintenance.  This purchase would be out of the Reserve Fund.

 

10.  Sheep Grazing Contract

This item was requested to be added by property owner Mike Timmons

 

It is the HROA Board’s prerogative to discuss the item, table it indefinitely, or approve it as a later agenda item, setting a date and time at which the agenda item will then be heard (and in what format)
