Motion: There was no motion made.
6) Discuss and Approve Road Maintenance Signs: Whether or not the association should post signs at the main gates to advise landowners and visitors of road maintenance, due diligence, and liability.
Motion: Mandy Kleykamp made a motion to prepare signage and to add that owners obstructing any road will be responsible to other landowners who may be blocked out of their properties. Mike Derrig seconded. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0
7) Discuss grazing lease for the 2006-2007 term: Whether or not a clause be added to grazing lease to require the cattleman to remove dead cow carcasses if requested.

10) Discuss Amendment to Meeting Minutes from 22 October 2005 Meeting: LANDOWNER requested the following amendments to the October 22, 2005 meeting minutes:
“It is a common myth that the appearance of structures, yards, etc. of parcels in the country affects the value of surrounding parcels. There is no evidence to that effect. That concept applies (though not with 100% validity) to city and suburban lots.”
“A few people told me that a person (not me) is polluting the creek with septic waste. I then compared that person’s (not my) amount of waste in the creek (if true) to that of cattle.”
Motion: Mandy Kleykamp moved to approve the amendments. David Weston seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0
11) Identify items to be on the October 2006 agenda: LANDOWNER requested the following items be added to this agenda. Because notice for this meeting had already been posted and sent, and said notice informed landowners that a full vote of the landowners is not required for any of the items on the agenda and that proxies were not needed, these items will not be acted on at this meeting. However, these items will be added to the October 2006 agenda.
- A vote to eliminate the electricity fund by striking it from the CC&Rs (an amendment strictly for that purpose). Then, a vote to either a) divide the money amongst the owners, or – b) apply all the money to road maintenance.
Motion: Moved to add to the October agenda by Kleykamp, seconded by David Weston Ayes: 4 Nays: 0
- A vote to disband or eliminate the Association.
Motion: No motion was made.
- A vote to initiate a third party independent audit of Association funds.
Motion: A motion was made, but not seconded. There was no vote. At the private request of Mandy Kleykamp as an owner, the item will appear on the agenda.
12) Power Proposal: Pat Young has a proposal to bring power down Red Bank Road to the Southeast corner of Red Bank Oaks.
Proposal: FORMER LANDOWNER has a client, CLIENT, who proposes, at his expense, to bring power in to his property from Red Bank Road to the south. The Board felt that in principal the Association’s easements are theirs to approve or disapprove any proposed uses. FORMER LANDOWNER and CLIENT are asked to bring a detailed project proposal to the Association for review by the general membership. Ms. Rowe says that power lines must be underground where they cross her properties. Other Board Members expressed concern that above ground lines represent a fire hazard and that without extensive tree and road maintenance the risk of above ground lines is too great. The Board agreed to meet before October if CLIENT wishes to present his detailed proposal sooner.
Motion:_David Weston moved to allow CLIENT to bring his proposal to the general membership at the October meeting so that its specific costs, construction details, etc. could be discussed. Mandy Kleykamp seconded the motion. The motion passed with all members voting yes.
13) Good of the Order: None.
14) Adjourn: 3:00pm
Respectfully submitted,
Mandy Kleykamp, Secretary Red Bank Oaks Property Owners’ Association
