- Officers’ Reports:
A. President’s Report:
1. Steve called the meeting to
order and asked about the fall clean up schedule.
a. We will have the dumpsters from
Friday, October 17th through Sunday, October 19th. They will be located at Steve and Shelly’s
house and at Jerry and Terrell’s house.
South Salt Lake will do their fall clean up in November.
b. The official clean up will begin
at 11:00 AM on Jerry and Terrell’s deck.
Bring wagons and wheel barrows to haul debris and limbs to the dumpster.
We will also ask Eldon to let us use his
trailer.
c. We will split into two or three
teams to address areas most in need of clean up. Areas of concern are:
·
A tree by Judy’s deck
·
A willow over the water by Michele’s house
·
Beaver dam
·
Erosion
from high water caused by damming east of Judy’s house and/or damming
east of Rite Aid
·
Trees at Steve and Shelly’s house
·
The area behind George and Kimarie’s house
d. In the future, Chris will order
dumpsters at the meeting before clean up.
Clean up will be clean up only, and will not include meetings, so
official notice of meeting will not be required.
2. Steve asked when and where the
next meeting will be held.
a.
Last February, Stuart said the December meeting and
party could be at his house, but he would make sure Carolyn was OK with
that. The date was set for December 6th:
5:00 PM meeting, 6:00 PM party. If we
can’t use Stuart and Carolyn’s house, George and Kimarie will host the meeting
and party.
b.
We need to elect officers and a trustee in December,
set dates and plan activities for 2105, report hours, submit information for
our report to the city, and party.
B. Secretary’s Report:
1. Terrell has kept the records
and supplied the minutes. The notice of
meeting was mailed within the timeframe required by MCPHOA bylaws.
2. We have renewed our insurance and our business
license.
3. We have logged 81.75 hours for
pond maintenance to date. Chris will
email more time to Terrell, plus we still have fall clean up time to add.
4. Steve will wait until the end
of the year to scan pond maintenance hours onto the blog.
5. Jerry moved to accept the
minutes from the June meeting. The
motion was seconded by George. The vote
was unanimous
6. Michele had a follow up
question concerning the minutes from the April and June meetings. Jerry had moved to have the trustees, plus
Michele, write a letter to the appropriate entities regarding a beaver
dam. The county cleared the dam, so the
issue was dropped.
7. Dale is the county flood
control manager. His number is 801-259-2790. Chris will call her contact at county flood
control to check out the dam east of Michele’s house.
B. Treasurer’s Report:
1. We have 13 members in good
standing.
2. We’re at the end of our fiscal
year. Our accountant has moved to
Nevada, so Chris would like to have their accountant do our taxes for $80.00
per year. George moved to approve
changing accountants. The motion was
seconded by Shelly. The vote was
unanimous.
3. We spent more money than we
took in this year. We took in $1.560.00

- Other Business:
A.
Jerry moved to accept the amended bylaws. The motion was seconded by George. The vote was unanimous.
B.
Jeff and Kristy’s car was stolen from their driveway
sometime between 2 and 4 AM on September 10th. They suspect the culprits are
drug users who live in the area.
C.
Steve will put us on the email list for Neighborhood
Watch which is held on the second Wednesday of each month.
D.
Charles contacted Columbus School to try to schedule an
educational session, but has had no response.
Steve suggested he contact Kari Cutler, and he will give her phone
number to Charles. Charles said that
Erik might be willing to help with the education, but there might be some cost
involved. Our education sessions should
be organized with a set program and script.
Steve asked that we post wildlife photos on MCPAC’s Facebook page so he
can move them to the blog and use them in flyers and educational material. Chris volunteered to help with the flyers.
E.
The best time to plant is in the fall or spring. Some of the seeds came up and some
didn’t. We need to plant more in the
transition zones. Charles said that salt
in the water and soil affects plant growth.
He will check into having our soil and water tested.
F.
South Salt Lake has postponed the requirement for
backflow preventers.
G.
Chris moved to adjourn the meeting. Everyone seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.
H.
The next meeting will be at 5:00 PM on December 6th,
with a party starting at 6:00 PM. Last
February, Stuart volunteered to have the meeting and party at his home again
this year. If that falls through, George
and Kimarie will host.
