Lake Tahoe Park Association
Board of Directors Meeting
Minutes
June 30, 2006
Present: Bob Thomas, Milt Hyams, Beverly Hemphill, Nancy Morse, Pete Hutchins, Margaret Pinter, Jim Davisson, and Richard Wilson
Topics:
- The minutes from the last meeting were reviewed and approved 6-0.
- Rich Wilson presented a budget to the Board for the 2007 calendar year. He discussed the sources of income, anticipated expenses, and maintenance projects that need consideration. He noted that our current assessment rate, buoy fees, and the first year special assessment provide enough income to balance out our operating expenses. However, he noted that the need to maintain the park will require additional income from an alternative source.
The areas requiring funding were discussed by the Board. Legal fees will be incurred to petition the Lahontan Water Quality Board to issue closure on the gas station property. Our current legal firm has been instructed to proceed with this request. Additional funds will also be needed to continue with our court petition to establish the Board of Directors’ powers to deal with the gas station property.
The existing piers are in need of deck repair. The Board discussed the various products available including the installation of Tex decking. It will have to be determined if the existing structure could handle the extra weight of Tex decking. It was noted that we would need a material which did not become too hot in the summer. The concept of engineering floating boat-loading ramps would make the piers much safer. The ramps would adjust with the water level.
Graveling of our walkway will still require more funds. The project is about 50% completed. It is hoped that Osborn Construction will deliver the gravel and have the onsite staff spread it out. The project is expected to be completed by this fall. In addition to graveling plans, the Board needs to consider installation of handicapped access to one of the lakeside picnic tables and to the restrooms.
The exterior fence is in bad condition and needs repair or replacing. The Board had an existing bid to repair the fence for $7,600.00. Discussion ensued as to whether it was practical to install a new, better looking fence, rather than spending funds for the repair.
General discussion on the above issues centered on Bob Thomas making an announcement to the membership at the Annual Meeting that a special assessment would be required in an amount up to $200.00 for specific improvements. The Board favored the concept of a special assessment for specific improvements rather than an increase in the annual assessment. A motion was made to have a special assessment for improvements in an amount not to exceed $200.00 per parcel. The exact amount would be based on estimates obtained during the summer. The motion passed 6-0. A second motion was made to keep the annual dues at $225.00 for 2007. The motion passed 6-0.
- The next topic was a review of our insurance policies. Rich Wilson informed the Directors that the current Directors liability policy was for $2,000,000, rather than $3,000,000. Pete noted that the Dollar Point association had a $2,000,000 policy. Margaret had not heard back from the Tahoe Donner Association. Pete indicated that the Workers’ Compensation policy fee will be reduced in price next year and that we should have the exact cost in the fall.
- Bob summarized the phone meeting held with Jonathan Redding concerning a change in engineering firms to expedite the closure of the gas station. It was Redding’s recommendation that we change companies, based upon his experiences with both firms and the success with obtaining closure and getting reimbursement from the State Clean up fund. At the last meeting, the Board authorized Bob Thomas to make the appropriate decision based on the phone meeting. It was decided to follow Redding’s recommendation.
- The two options for the graveling of the beach were again discussed. One is to continue working with Osborn Construction who has been providing gravel and trying to minimize the cost. The second is to hire a company in South Lake Tahoe and have the material delivered in several large semi trucks. Bob suggested that he discuss the issue with Steve Osborn and make a decision after that meeting. He will then E-mail the Board on the approach that will be used.
-
The court petition that was filed with Placer County was reviewed by those present. To date there have been very few comments or requests for the complete petition document. The filing will be discussed at the annual meeting and the hearing will be held on July 25, 2006.
- The key/card system was once again reviewed. Jim and Richard questioned how it was going to improve the beach membership access. They were concerned about losing power to the system, having the system fail, as happens with computers, and how the data is imputed and stored in the system. From an access point, Margaret indicated that the system will not keep people out of the park any better than the keys, however it could reduce costs.
- The agenda for the 2006 Annual Property Owners Meeting was reviewed and approved.
- The next meeting will be held on Saturday, September 2, 2006 at 10:00 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard J. Wilson, Secretary
