Minutes for May 13, 2014 Meeting

Copper Valley HOA Board Meeting
May 13, 2014

In attendance: Bernice, Jeanine, Alisha, Jason, Michelle

1. Calendar Items
a. Next meeting June 10th at Stuart’s at 7:30 pm
b. Community breakfast and clean up.  June 21st at 9:00 am. 
-go through paper products at Stuart's to see what we may need
-Jeanine: Costco shopping for food
-Food: pancakes, juice, fruit, syrup, butter, muffins
-Tables: Jeanine (3), Bernice (1), Alisha (1)
-Camp stoves: Stuart and Alisha + griddles

2. Budget
a. Finance Report – currently have a positive cash flow, past due HOA dues (more than normal)
b. Asphalt bids – Jason explained the 4 bids and the difference in material used.  Recommended we wait until next year to do.  Allow money to build up in savings.  If we do now, it would wipe out all that we have saved. 
Alisha met with new electrician to look at street lights.  Everything is working correctly.  They think there is a nick in the wire somewhere and it shorts when it gets wet.  Line was buried, no conduit.  Will need to keep an eye on them to see when they stop coming on and call him to come back out.  Possibly have them come with tracer to find where the problem is.

3. Discussion Items – comments from community meeting
a. Cost to add springs to man gates.  Buchanan quoted us $695 for both gates to add “kant-slam” gate closers.  Have Stuart as Jesse Watts for a bid.
b. Move tree by west gate.  Jeff Barbee will try trimming the tree first to see if he can get it to grow away from the man gate.  If not, he will remove and can kill off root.  Not worth trying to move.
c. Gates painted.  Jason to contact now that weather has warmed up.  Will not pay until job is completed.  Previously quoted $2000.
d. Reflectors on gates.  Will look into doing after gates have been painted.
e. Pin pad back light (switch from blue).  Received a bid to change out the light.  Not worth the cost to change to another color.
f. Spray for bugs.  Bid from Jason Brixey.  $375 granular or $575 spray.  Have Stuart or Jeanine check to see if they feel there is a big enough problem to warrant.  There will always be bugs outside.
g. Spray paint over west exit sensor.  Don’t want to paint on road.  Add a reminder in newsletter about sensor being further back by Stuart’s fence.
h. Gates close quicker.  Buchanan said that is an easy adjustment.  Find out if Stuart had a chance to talk to Jesse Watts about doing it ourselves.
i. No soliciting sign.  Jason will order a small sign to put under the no trespassing signs.
j. Extra salt in winter by south gate.  Will discuss further when weather is colder.  Jason suggested getting a 55 gal bucket full of salt and with some sort of scoop.  Community members could then put some extra salt down as needed. 
k. Location for basketball hoop.  South parking lot on west side of parking lot.  Have hoop shipped to Bernice’s home.
l. Cost for supplies and equipment to install basketball hoop? Bernice has access to an auger.  Buy cement at Lowes.  Wait until we receive hoop for instructions.  Have men help install day of neighborhood breakfast. 

4. Discussion Items – other items not from meeting
a. Sprinklers in park – Jason will contact to have heads moved to spray only on grass and not on road. Also adjust the time to earlier in the morning so they aren’t on after pump has been turned off.
b. Send separate mailed notice to homes that will be affected by yard fine?  Jason will send letters to board members for those that had been given a previous reminder.  Board to determine which ones will need a follow up letter that have not completed their yards yet.  Will discuss yards with weeds at next meeting. 
c. Newsletter information for June – Jeanine has “message from the board” 
- June breakfast, clean up, basketball hoop install
-Neighborhood update on street lights and gates to be painted.
-Reminder about where sensor is in road to exit west gates.

Other items discussed: trash cans to be purchased for each park.  Bernice to purchase at Lowes.  Will also need chain, bags, way to bolt on chain. 
Homeowners still have trailers not behind fence.  Two households were sent letter back in February with a deadline of May 15th to either put up a fence or to remove from property.  A third household now has a trailer not behind a fence.

Jeanine motions to adjourn. Michelle seconds.

-When exiting neighborhood on west side, you have to slowly pull up directly in line with exiting gate.  Prefer everyone not pull up to the mail box exiting the neighborhood because you then have to back up all the way by Stuart's fence.  Suggestion to spray paint over sensor so everyone gets to know where it is.
