* 2007 Fire & CC&R Inspection Update--Dave Morley
Dave Morley reviewed the county ordinance language supporting lot clearance. The ordinance is stated to be enforced by the Sheriff and the court process. They will follow all CDF rules and process in terms of enforcement. Sheriff Rick Stephens (present) indicated they would be publishing the rules to the community. BVRI will publish a copy of those rules attached to our newsletter as soon as it's available.
Per Terry Woodrow, forester Ross Richards just approved paperwork from the forest service for Sean's Tree Service to do all the common areas for all the dead and dying trees to cut and remove.
* Snow Mobile Trail
Public meeting and workshop on Saturday September 29th at 10:00 am for the public to provide input to the county council to provide their input. BVRI board will not take a position on this topic until after that meeting when the community in general has had a chance to comment. Notice of the meeting will go out to all property owners (from the county) in the next couple days.
Per Terry Woodrow, the County council has already addressed the encroachment of the trail on private property. Per Terry, the homeowner is satisfied with the resolution.
Rick Stephens and Terry Woodrow (both present) will be at the meeting. Gordon Ritter and Jack Wedgwood should also be able to attend the meeting.
* Beach Operations--Gloria English
Looking into bringing water and electricity to the big beach. Also looking into expanding the beach area to accommodate more people comfortably. The porta potties will remain to serve bathroom needs. The cost to support the three existing porta potties is about $1,500/year and putting in bathrooms will be a major expense that is at this time deemed unnecessary.
BVRI will need to allocate funding to support the cost of water and electricity.
Gordon brought up a couple of comments about boat storage. Gloria will explore some simple options.
Beach close of 11:00 pm will continue to be enforceable if complaints are submitted. Sheriff Stephens indicated he only got a couple of complaints this year.
* Development Plan Update--Dave Morley
Draft EIR is coming out this winter (approximately November). We will have 45 days to review and comment.
Question raised about how the EIR will be distributed. Terry Woodrow will follow up and find out. BVRI will post to website if possible and inform membership.

Terry Woodrow reported some increase in expenses for transfer station and solid waste landfill. These increases will show up on bills this year.
