Minutes of the regular meeting of the Board of Directors on January 22, 2007

 The regular meeting of the Board of Directors was called to order at 3:10 PM at the home of Ray and Carole Pfoutz.   Board members in attendance were President Larry Bertuccelli, Vice-president Don Nester, Secretary Forrest Dobbs, and Member-at-Large Sandy Piercey.  Also present were Carole Robinson (Newsletter Editor), Carole Pfoutz (CC&R Committee Chairperson), and Joyce Dobbs (Ridgette Chairperson.) 

 Minutes of the last regular meeting of November 27, 2006 were approved without corrections or amendments.

 The Treasurer’s report was given by Forrest Dobbs indicating a positive balance. 

Larry Bertuccelli reported there was a need for listing the phone numbers or emergency contacts of owners who are not in residence or away for long periods of time.    Contacts could then be made when emergencies, such as broken pipes, arise.    This information could be obtained by the Block Captains.

 Don Nester reported that several concerns about septic tanks  or vent pipes being visible have been resolved.  

 Carole Pfoutz reported there has been no activity by the CC&R Committee.

 Joyce Dobbs, newly appointed Ridgettes Chairperson, reported that cards were sent regarding the meetings of January, February, and March.   An addendum regarding the location of the February restaurant, Alfredo’s, will be sent by Carole Robinson.  There is a need for hostesses for future Games Days and restaurant arrangements.    An announcement asking for a hostess for April and the host/hostess for the annual meeting/party in June will be in the next newsletter.

 Don Nester reported that he has completed the inclusion of the CC&Rs for Ridgewood I on the website.    He is working at including those of Ridgewood II and III.   Also, an explanation of pricing system by Amerigas will be included. 

 Carole Robinson reminded that articles for the next newsletter need to be in to her by January 31. Articles already set to be included are ones by Dick Feaster regarding the Amerigas Co-op, the Ridgette article, and one expressing the need for nominations for the three offices (President, Secretary, and Member-at-large) whose current terms end on June 30.  

 Discussion was held regarding the change-over to Amerigas propane company.   Most owners have had a positive experience with both their former company and the new Amerigas company.

 Ralph Legg was nominated for the office of Treasurer (to complete the current term through June 30, 2008).   There was unanimous approval.  

 There is a need  to update the lists of owners/residents and Ridgewood Neighborhood Association members.    It was decided that contact of owners/residents to update their information be made by Block Captains.   A list of 2007 Association members as of this date has been completed.   A reminder to those who have not joined for 2007 will be included in the newsletter.

Larry Bertuccelli discussed his contact with AT&T regarding DSL service in this area.  The Board decided that a cover letter explaining how possible service could be implemented and a petition to be signed and returned be sent as soon as possible.    A tally of those interested will be presented to AT&T.

The next meeting is scheduled for March12, 2007 at 3 PM at the home of Carole and Dick Robinson.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:28 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

 

Forrest Dobbs, Secretary
