Water:

Bednar

fixing
several
water
leaks
2
weeks
ago
on
Mimbres,
still
one
leak
on
Scouts
Lane.
There
is
an
underground
leak
at
system

that
has
not
been
located
yet.
Disinfection
of
the
new
section
of
pipe

station
by
Chlorination
is
done.

of

rate

$30
dollars
per
hour
(up
from
$20).
Nate
made
move
in

Orlando
seconded.
All
board
members
in
favor
Architectural:
Don
pointed
out
some
previous
board
members
were
too
overzealous
for
enforcing
architectural
rules
(even
though
residents
make
improvement
to
the
property,
it
gets
scrutinized
by
the
architectural
control).
This
is
not
an
issue
in
the
last
year,
however.
Roads:
Orlando
brought
a
copy
of
proposed
improvements
needed
for
the
association
roads.
Legal:
No
news
Fire
Wise:
No
news
Forest
Service:
They
are
done
with
controlled
fires
on
Cat
and
San
Juan
Mesa
for
this
year,
as
the
moisture
levels
(snow)
has
increased,
the
temps
have
now
become
too
cool
and
the
days
will
not
warm
up
enough
for
a
burn
of
the
area
to
be
productive
until
next
year.
There
will
be
one
last
chipper
day
for
this
year
on
this
Saturday,
Nov.
22rd.
Parks:
Eric
Larson
when
on
the
board
and
in
charge
of
the
parks,
purchased
2x10
to
rebuild
picnic
tables
in
front
of
Fire
Station,
which
are
being
stored
at
this
time.
Scott
Watson
expressed
interest
to
build
the
tables.
Nate
will
also
contact
a
thinning
company
to
thin
a
cul-de-sac
area
over
on
Chaco
off
of
Hovenweep
Loop.
Unfinished
business:
Proposed
for
letter
to
Bob
Bootzin.
The
letter
restated
that
unit
9
is
not
part
of
the
SLPPO
association.
There
are
6
lots
between
in
units
5
and
7
that
he
can
potentially
sell
into
association.
Lots
21
and
22
of
Unit
7
at
the
end
of
Los
Griegos
-
have
no
access
to
assoc.
water,
yet.
In
which
case
there
are
membership
dues
to
the
association
from
these
lots.
We
expect
him
to
decide
if
these
lots
are
part
of
the
association
-
if
yes
then
he
must
pay
dues
by
December
31st
.
He
can
choose
not
to
develop
them
and
then
he
will
have
no
responsibility
to
pay.
Third
option
is
to
change
his
mind
and
develop
lots
in
the
future
but
he
would
need
to
pay
$5145
plus
reasonable
difference
in
lapsed
time
from
2003
till
decision
to
develop.
If
Bob
decides
to
develop
unit
9
he
will
not
be
able
to
connect
to
Association's
water
system.
Board
agreed
unanimously
to
send
the
letter
to
Bob
Bootzin
to
start
the
dialog.
2nd
letter
to
Stewart
-
to
start
dialog
regarding
his
well
which
is
in
Los
Griegos
road.
Next
meeting
is
January
21st
2004
Meeting
adjourned
at
10
pm.
