She thanked homeowners who volunteered their help to spread the cedar bark over two days in February.  She also said when we receive our next delivery of cedar chips they will be used to complete the ground cover on Paullus and Ridgemark Drives.  We do not have a date when the next load of cedar chips will be available. When we know the date, we will ask homeowners to help spread the chips. 

• Old Business

1. Roads and Guards Report – Bill Baker

Bill Baker reported on the status of the south gate repairs.  New parts are to be delivered and installed by QuickPass.  This is expected to be completed this week.

The gate on Southside Road (Promontory) is now functioning with RFID tags but tag reader needs to be relocated to pick up the signal from RFID tags on the driver’s side of the car window.  The scanner does not always read the RFID tag when entering from Southside Road.

There was discussion about the gate being open at the end of Dan Court by Sierra Golf.  They open the gate for employees to enter and leave and sometimes it remains open so cars from Hwy. 25 can enter Ridgemark without passing through security.  It was decided that some members of the board will meet with Sierra Golf management to discuss this issue and to ask for their cooperation in keeping the gate closed during the day.

Harvard Sung asked the board what should be done when children drive golf carts recklessly on our roads.  He is concerned about their safety and our liability. The recommendation from the board was to call Ridgemark security to report the incident.  The guards will be asked to respond to the incident and warn the children of the danger and to ask them to slow down and to get their address.

• RV Parking by residents and guests – Bill Baker

Bill Baker shared a notice he had developed to be placed on RV’s, boats, and cars that are parked on our roads and driveways more than 48 hours per the RM XI HOA CC&Rs.  Some additions and modifications were suggested.  Bill will make those changes and distribute the form to the board members.

There was discussion about the RV parked in the driveway at 1515 South Ridgemark Drive.  The RV has been reported to be parked for more than 48 hours on many occasions.  Bill Baker reported that he met with the owner, and he agreed to move the RV.  It was moved but just to another location on Paullus Drive and it reappeared in the driveway at 1515 South Ridgemark Dr.  The board has decided to warn offenders and then to assess a fine of $100 per day if the homeowner does not comply with the notice.

• New Business
  • Election of New Director – Jeanne Mitchell

Jeanne Mitchell introduced herself to the directors present.  It was moved by Bill Baker and seconded by Parris Giunta that Jeanne Mitchell be elected to the board for one year term to fill the position vacated by Bart Racca.   The motion passed by unanimous voice vote.

• Discussion of repairs to road cracks in cul-de-sacs

Paul Namkoong reported that he was noticing cracks in the surface of roads in the cul-de-sacs.  He thought the cracks might be caused by the settlement of the sewer line.  Grant Kane volunteered to get a quote for the repair of the cracks.
