3. Road report: April 28 – May 25, 2004.  Sign needed for Hanapauh road per request by resident. The only road graded was Palisades because of a request from a real estate agent.

a.) Discussion on what roads to gravel and the funds available.

Gary asked what roads would people like done. Lydia suggested that Goldfield be graveled as Kay has obtained a building permit and is concerned about access in wet weather and several other homes will soon be built in that general area. It was noted that this road has never received any base as many other roads in the association have over the years.

The condition of the grader was discussed and there is a need for major repair. Several property owners noted there was a large % of funds left for maintenance and materials from this year’s budget. Gary said it would cost about $8,000.00 to gravel only part of Goldfield.  Kelly said we may have to use some funds to fix the grader and said the decision to gravel any roads would have to be put off until the finances are reviewed next month.     

Kay suggested that a special assessment should be considered to bring all the roads up to standards. Gary asked for a show of hands with zero response.

Dale Ortman spoke again on forming a road committee. He would like to see a written document put together stating how and when a particular road is to receive gravel and maintenance.   

Kelly suggested that the new road committee should make the decision on whether or not to gravel the road.

                            A motion was made to continue the item to the next meeting.
