Old Business:

Speeding Awareness Campaign:

Bill Baker and Heidi Lipp reported the parties involved in theft and vandalizing the speeding awareness signs in September and November have been cited by the San Benito Sheriff’s Department and will face misdemeanor charges in court.

More signs were placed on our roads in November. These signs stolen in on evening of December 31.  A resident found them discarded on Quien Sabe Road in Tres Pinos and returned them to the guard shack.  Two signs are still useable and will be placed on our roads by Dennis Hughes.

With the disappointing results of the signs, the board has investigated and discussed rubber speed humps and/or speed indicator signs.  Homeowners will be mailed a package of options before the next board meeting so they can indicate their preferences with a ballot.  The board will review and discuss the results of the mailing and move forward with a plan.

Bill Baker asked Dennis Hughes to contact the CHP regarding monitoring our HOA streets.

New Business:

Election of Directors:

The results of the balloting for the two open director positions was reported by association bookkeeper, Ellen Fisher. 62 ballots were received and counted.  Parris Giunta and Heidi Lipp were elected to serve two more years on the board of directors.

Electronic Billing:

Ellen Fisher reported she has received 20 requests for electronic billing.   Another insert will be in the next statement asking homeowners if they want to receive their statements via email rather than mail.  Heidi Lipp will also send out a separate email reminder to all homeowners on our distribution list.

Wynn Development Plans:

Bill Baker will request a meeting with Geary Coats of Coats Consulting who represents Mr. Wynn for an update on the development plans for Ridgemark Golf and Country Club. 

Road Resurfacing:

Bill Baker will appoint some directors to study the resurfacing of our roads and make a report to the board of directors.
