Meeting Minutes

Board Meeting Minutes from Jan 13, 2004

In attendance

  • Brad Scheevel, Shari Clark, Howard Mathisen, Steve Moller, Cary Ecker, Brian Stern, Rick from Glenbrook Services

Web site

  • Finally got ownership transferred of totemfalls.com and also registered the-falls.org which redirects to totemfalls.com.
  • Want to have web site at least somewhat functional in time for January newsletter.
  • Are soft copies of association by-laws and articles available? Perhaps through county auditor?
  • Want web site to have map of neighborhood including trails. No such map may currently exist. Some information available through county auditor's website with interactive maps.

Landscape

  • Want to monitor county's plan for Tucker park with respect to landscaping.
  • Want Glenbrook to find new plants for common area. Would like to see more color.
  • Want Glenbrook to install new irrigation in 6 zones. Estimated cost $2000.
  • Will consider re-gravelling trails.
  • Lots of storm damage. Glenbrook cleaned up downed limbs at no cost to us.

Waterfall

  • Waterfall is currently not operational. Lower pond not deep enough to control leaves. Waterfall is off until all leaves can be removed.
  • Rick showed product called No Foam which may help when soap is dumped into waterfall. Product costs $50/gallon and not much is known about it. If it works well, could install new pump in waterfall (est. cost $400) which would inject this into water.
  • Brad wants proposal for hiring ongoing waterfall maintenance. Also wants manual produced to describe operation. Previously Tony (past president) knew its operation and maintained it.
  • May cut down Alder trees that are causing leaf problems with waterfall, if they do not provide privacy to homeowners.

South park area

  • Would like to utilize or get rid of area.
  • Cary knows someone with the county. Will inquire again if interested in taking ownership (for Tucker park).
  • Consider selling area to developer. Need to look into area's zoning.
  • Idea: Could be used to rent RV storage space.
