* President's Report: Dave Morley

BVRI Board Election is winding down. Ballots must be postmarked by 3/1/10. The count will take place next weekend with three board members who are not up for re-election.

Current Status per Dave: No requirement to put in a tertiary treatment plant although they're still making measurements as the snow melts and working with state to rework the permit and determine what the capacity is. We don't expect to have a lot more information about this until the summer time.

Discussion: Letter from Dave Ritchie to CDPH. Discussion about final report produced by BVWD regarding the tertiary treatment plant. Discussion about consideration of rate payers first. Dave Morley agreed to keep this item open for further discussion.

Discussion. The business association and BVRI Board have each written letters to LAWC appealing to the owners and directors to leave the rate structure the way it is now.

It appears that rate changes are on hold until the measurements come back from the sewer board indicating how many hookups can be handled under the current structure. Per John Dralla, as of the last sewer district meeting, it was reported by the district engineer that there will be only 27 hookups available.

Discussion about history of this question. Changes to CC&Rs cost about $2,500.

Community group has come to BVRI to say they don't want to pay for a change to the CC&Rs but they do want to incorporate a square-footage limitation.

MOTION: Ann Porteus moved that the BVRI Board continue to find out how other areas that are comparable to ours are managing the home size limitation issue and how they are handling this including study of other possible mitigation solutions; and BVRI include in the next BVRI newsletter that if enough people want to contribute to the $2,500 cost that BVRI would put it back to the community for a vote regarding a change to the CC&Rs to address home size limitations.

SECOND: Gordon Ritter seconded the motion.

All members in favor.

None opposed.

Eric Jung abstained.

Discussion of leveraging the design standards including installation of vegetation as a requirement to provide visual block for larger homes.

Discussion: Nothing in front of ARC to review at the moment.

MOTION: Gordon Ritter moved for the re-appointment of the five current ARC members who are: Ron Murphy, Terry Woodrow, Gary Willard, Nancy Zawacki, and Chuck Taylor.

SECOND: Sue Garratt seconded the motion.

All members in favor.

None opposed.

Discussion of need for more sand on the beach. Thank you to Gloria for her work on the Beach operations. Sue Garratt agreed to take over this responsibility.

Discussion of bringing water to the beach. Discussion of lake water level.

Discussion of monitoring membership for beach use.

Sue will develop a proposal to clarify BVRI policy for members-only beach use rules. Sue and Paul to work together to prepare an article for the next newsletter outlining the lake and beach that are an extremely valuable asset that need to be cared for responsibly.

* Picnic Date: Sunday, July 4, 2010

Dave Morley mentioned the need for a new BVRI Board leader for this event.

Next newsletter planned for late April.

MOTION: Gordon Ritter moved that we donate up to $500 as a 1:1 matching program with community donations.

SECOND: Jeff Gouveia

All members in favor.

None opposed.

* Report from the Board of Supervisors -- Terry Woodrow

Terry submitted $10K grant request for fuels reduction (chipper program).

MOTION: Eric Jung that BVRI send a letter supporting this grant proposal.

SECOND:

All members in favor.

None opposed.

Terry mentioned that March 13 is Monte Carlo night that benefits BVRI Search and Rescue.

BVRI continues to be supportive of development but we have concerns about parking.
