HOA Documents, Members and Dues:

We need to be incorporated and need a resolution in order to open a bank account. We must be organized as a charitable organization in order to receive the land from RDA. We voted to adopt the RDA Bylaws as presented for an interim period not to exceed 120 days from today’s date. We voted to adopt and file the articles of incorporation. Jerry will file the articles of incorporation and get a tax ID number for us. Jerry will write the resolution and deliver it to Chris so she can open the bank account. Checks will require the signature of the Secretary and one of the other officers. We need to research insurance options. Jerry will check with USAA. Each household will pay $100.00 at incorporation and then $10.00 per month in dues beginning in January.

Door-to-Door Campaign:

Steve will send out all information electronically, and will post notices of the doors of those whose email addresses we don’t have.

Mill Creek Pond Clean-up Project:

Steve used his chain saw to cut down trees along the south shoreline. Others used loppers and leaf bags to remove trash and invasive weeds. Shelly removed most of a tree that had fallen on the west island. Then we moved on to Michele’s house where Shelly’s chest waders were put to good use cleaning debris from the creek. Everyone helped carry logs and stack debris by the curbs.

Assignments:

Jerry will check with USAA for insurance options, file the articles of incorporation, get a tax ID number for us, and write the resolution so we can open the bank account

Chris will open the bank account and obtain the necessary signatures.

Other Business:

1. Michele suggested we get a copy of the city’s Storm Water Management Plan to ensure the county doesn’t violate it.

2. South Salt Lake will be removing the tree from behind Rocky’s place as early as next week.

3. We need chain link or chicken wire on trees to protect them from the beavers.

4. Everyone needs to friend the MCPAC Facebook page.

5. Minutes, articles, etc, will be sent through email. Charitable activities can be posted on the blog or Facebook.
