MONTHLY BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

                   JONATA SPRINGS RANCH HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION

                    Oct. 24, 2019 6:30 PM Adriansen’s, 1301 Cougar Ridge Road

 

CALL TO ORDER.  Mike Adriansen (MA called the meeting to order at 6:51 PM.  Other board members present were Steve Kantor (SK), Skip Jankoski (SJ) and Bob Cash (BC).  John Burnaby also attended.  Dennis Beebe (DB) arrived at 7:40 PM.

VERIFICATION THAT PREVIOUS MONTH’S MINUTES

WERE REVIEWED, APPROVED, AND DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONICALLY.  The board did verify

TREASURER’S REPORT. BC reported all accounts in good standing.  A former member lot I-6 asked for and received reimbursement for funds his bank mistakenly
continued to send HOA fees after he departed the ranch.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

      1.   Finance – SK still looking for a place to park our reserve funds(see BSMWC minutes).

 SJ presented a proposal to upgrade the website to a professional standard at a cost of $5000-$8000 plus any fees to maintain the site if Jim Powell opts not
to. Site would have public access to video and photos of the Ranch plus
provide members a place to use a credit card to pay water and HOA fees.  SK
will continue to get costs down and we will ask members at the annual
meeting if they agree it to be a worthwhile idea in any form (extensive
professional site or smaller).



2. Roads- Engineering bill for Erosion Basin was paid and Member Steve Luke
will begin trying to get volunteers to complete the suggested work.

Online payments for HOA fees update-See Finance above.

First draft of 2019 reserve study-Reserve study contractor says we are SERIOUSLY underfunded due to mistakes in prior studies. Prior contractors had bad data on our road surfaces square foot data and the correct data shows serious shortfall
which could result in double HOA fees next year and rising to $650 per
month by 2030. The Board is going to ask a different contractor to review the work when the draft report comes in next week; there is a low confidence that we could have been so off over the last 10 years.

   

      2.   Roads - erosion control update- Bluebird latest plan and status

      3.   Trails – No Report 

      4.   ARC- No Report     

      5.   Zaca Preserve and local planning issues-No Report            

      6.   CERT- County drill on October 26.  MA cannot attend.

      7.   Hospitality – The board complemented the Cortese’s for hosting a successful happy hour.  The next one is planned for January 2020.

OLD BUSINESS     

      1. Emergency preparedness discussion. – SJ reported progress on road edge clearing and commended those homeowners who have made the effort to improve both safety and appearance of the ranch.  There remain 5-6 seriously non-compliant properties that both SJ and MA will continue to pursue through communications with the homeowners. SJ will obtain estimates for our landscape contractor to clear those lots and this data will be provided to the non-compliant homeowners.

            The annual meeting will include an agenda item for the homeowner’s consideration for the HOA to perform all road edge clearing and raise the monthly HOA fees accordingly.  SJ will obtain an estimate.

            SJ reported an estimate of $1100 to properly clear the two islands.  The board approved the expenditure 5-0 (Motion: DB; Second: SK).

The board rejected consideration of compensating the owner of Lot IV-4 for road edge clearing.  The owner had suggested that the easement through that property provide access to entire ranch and compensation might be in order.

The board did not sympathize with the hardship claims of the owner of Lot 225 for the expense of road edge clearing.  The board did authorize MA to offer a payment plan of 1 -2 years but no reduction of money owed.

   

    

NEW BUSINESS

 1. MA reported a new law, SA 323, that affects HOA boards.  It appears our board is already in compliance.

2. The board elections for 2020 will be held at the Annual Meeting.  The sitting board has not yet announced their intentions.  ALL MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING SHOULD CONSIDER STANDING FOR THE 2020 BOARD ELECTION.  CONTACT MIKE ADRIANSEN  IF INTERESTED IN SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.

3. The next meeting will be held on 26 November 2019, at 6:30 PM at Adriansen’s

ADJOURN.  MA adjourned the meeting at 8:35 PM.

Respectfully Submitted, Dennis Beebe
