Community Awareness
Tim addressed the Board concerning water, speeding and fire dangers that all lot owners need to be aware of. Lot owner, Jim Chubrillo was present and expressed his concern over the extreme fire danger within the subdivision and use of fireworks. Tim stated that about three years ago moveable signage was present in Dakota Ridge concerning speeding and other information. He suggested that new signs with interchangeable messages be purchased that can be put at changing locations as previously done. Messages would include speeding and fire danger.

After further discussion, Tim made a motion to purchase four signs at a cost of approximately $300 and have Lone Oak Studio design the message inserts including “speeding” and “fire danger”. The motion was seconded by Thomas Stone. The motion was approved unanimously.

Other
Medora informed the Board that a complaint had been received regarding the automated calling system. The Board unanimously agreed that the Board will continue to use the automated calling system to provide the association members information in a timely manner.

Information regarding the recent tree study and County fire ban information will be provided with the 2nd Qtr water billing to be mailed out next week.
