Board Members Attending: Virginia Parkinson, Randy Mancini, Gary Willard, Gloria English, Ron Murphy, Paul Petersen, Bill Webb, Jack Wedgwood, Gordon Ritter, Eric Jung (took office later in meeting)

Minutes for May 10 Board Meeting: Webb move, Wedgwood 2^nd to approve; unanimous

Treasurer’s Report: Wedgwood said we are about 25 memberships short of last year’s number so far, but we’ll probably catch up during the picnic.

President’s Report: Neth discussed the agenda for the General Meeting. We got a letter from a member about dogs off their leash. Bear Valley Music Festival wants to address the assembly about matching funds and other donations. He will introduce new Board members and announce our discussion or action on Board member term limits.

Bylaws: Re term limits, Neth said Dave Morley is still researching that item with our attorney and will bring back a recommendation to the Board. He said the bylaws allow for fewer Board members than 15, but Wedgwood said a full complement is desirable because of the workload.

Vacancies: Wedgwood move, Willard 2^nd to appoint Ron Rossi to fill Eric Jung’s vacated seat; unanimous. Webb suggested that Jung be appointed to fill Leslie Peterson’s vacated seat. Wedgwood noted that the bylaws don’t stipulate how long a Board member has to stay off the Board after terming out before being put back on. Webb move, Wedgwood 2^nd, to appoint Jung to Leslie Peterson’s seat; unanimous.

Beach: English thanked Paul Petersen and his crew for doing a great job getting the beaches ready. Swim buoys and porta-potties are in, and we’re getting new sand. There was discussion of erosion on the beach, about which there were some comments in the hydrogeologists’s creek report. The swim platform needs work.

Paul Petersen said he’s working with Clay Eastman to get a new steel gate installed, with two 7 foot posts in 3 foot deep holes and 2 lockable 10 foot gates. It will be about $1,000. There was discussion about distribution of keys. It was agreed that the responsibility for emergency access through the gate would stay with the Sheriff, who will be given a key.

There was discussion of the hydrogeologists’s creek report. Jung said there was still unspent money in the creek grant. Webb move, Mancini 2^nd to give Paul Petersen and Jung discretion to allocate the remaining grant money to monitoring and information; unanimous.

Picnic: Webb asked Board members to show up at the beach at noon. Some of the raffle prizes include a Barbara Garvin print and a queen mattress set donated by Randy Mancini.

Architectural Review Committee: Murphy said there’s no new action. There’s a previously approved house on Snowshoe Road. The unfinished house on Orvis is moving forward, but the ARC hasn’t heard anything lately about the house on Bloods Ridge with the unpermitted deck addition.

Forest Trails: Willard attended a Forest Service meeting on winter use. There was a moderator, and there were two separate sessions, one for motorized and one for non-motorized. Willard went to the motorized session, and said it was mostly fact-finding by the facilitator. They discussed land use designations for areas of the forest, and snowmobile access at the end of Avalanche Road. There is no date set yet for the next meeting.

Snowmobiles: Willard presented a draft action plan and invited comments. He said there is better noise-measuring technology now. The action plan stresses education and enforcement. Jung stressed the importance of including Sheriff Crawford in the discussions. Ritter will work on the informational signs, with input on language from Willard.

30 foot Clearance Inspections: Neth said he sent out the binders for inspections and has set up an Excel spreadsheet to make it easier to track the data.

Abandoned Snowmobile: Willard is trying to contact the owner of the snowmobile left in the snowmobile parking lot.

NPDES: Neth will write the letter, previously approved, in support of the Bear Valley Water District’s application for an NPDES discharge permit.

Conference Calls: Wedgwood said he is working on a conference phone-in number with AT&T to facilitate meetings and committee work.

Adjourned to General Meeting at 10:30am.
