President Ann Marie Eversole called the
meeting to order at 9:08 am and led the flag salute.
Directors in Attendance: Ann Marie
Eversole, Bill Massey, Sadie Bentz, Karis Pierce and Anders
White
Agenda Additions/Changes: Add a
discussion of office replacement to Office
Approval of Minutes for March 21, 2006:
Bill made a motion to approve the minutes with the correction
of the spelling of "adjourned". Anders seconded the motion
and it was passed by a vote of the board.
Announcements: -County candidates'
night will be April 26, 2006 at 7:00 pm in the Rec Hall
-Sadie said if the rain continues like it has we may need
to postpone the Easter egg hunt to the following Saturday.
Open Forum: Karis
made the suggestion that everyone should stand when they
speak so everyone can hear.
Lupe Green- She announced that there was
an Elder Support Group on the 4th Wednesday of each month
from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm at 1445 Vista Way, Red Bluff.
James Bowron - He wanted to know what the criteria for
voting eligibility were. Ann Marie told him that member's
dues had to be current as of March 31st. The new resolution
will probably not affect this election, but even when
it does it will only affect a small amount of members.
It will affect members who have been in non-compliance
and have gone through the complete fine system and/or
court without correcting violations. Some members have
had chronic situations in violation for years. This does
not affect members who have only had one or two letters
or fines.
Correspondence: Ann
Marie read a letter from a couple who recently moved to
the ranch and want to start a meeting to help people organize
their lives. They were requesting the Rec Hall for this
purpose. She gave the letter to Dee to see if they want
to schedule the Rec Hall.
Treasure's Report:
Karis Pierce
The reserve study will be done in May.
Draft financial Statements for February are available.
Office:

Things are going smoothly. The second
quarter billing is in process. We hope to get a new
building soon.

We are waiting for a Corning permanent
postmaster before requesting a new contract. Karis requested
the contract from Penny McGee. Penny said she would
look for it.
Maintenance: Dennis
Campbell
The Maintenance crew is repairing street
signs and has cleaned graffiti off several signs. They
painted over graffiti on the firehouse and transfer
station. They replaced 3 windows that kids broke at
the firehouse and transfer station. The maintenance
crew repaired the kitchen stove, wall furnace and lights
at the firehouse. They have patched pot holes, trimmed
limbs, and cleaned culverts. They have cleaned up a
large brush pile at the barn. The maintenance crew has
been taking care of the janitorial work until a new
employee can be hired.
Airport: Doug Dugger
In March there were 26 operations and
4 medivacs.
Architectural Committee:
Dee Oliver
Dee said that Architectural is busy
and people are being cooperative. We are still working
on guidelines, because new items are coming up all the
time. The policy on cutting trees is that you need to
let the office know when you want to cut a tree and
the Architectural Committee will send someone out to
check the tree. She distributed (before and after) pictures
of a lot that had a notice sent out on it. It is clean
now and the owner had it done within the time allotted
to him. We appreciate the cooperation. Another member
had called her and said that our notice had motivated
him to clean his property. The committee is working
very hard. If you have questions as to whether a property
is in the notice process, call Janice.
Election Committee:
Marcia Rouse
Marcia was not able to attend the meeting
so there was no report.

had 11 medical aids, 1 smoke check, 2 structure fire,

Hedelius
Leslie is still waiting for the meeting
to be scheduled since December. Karis said she has been
busy with other board and personal health issues, but
she will get the meeting scheduled soon.
Unfinished Business:
-Office Building: Anders went to Fleetwood
in Red Bluff and was quoted a price range of $60,000
to $80,000. He had plot plans for 3 offices. The 1100
square foot office is $60,000. the offices are manufactured
in Washington State and Fleetwood will adjust the interior
to how you want it. Karis would like to get 3 bids .
Golden West Homes has a home for $58,419. The prices
are about the same. Bill made a motion for a committee
of Karis and Anders to get the bids. We can only go
into a 1 year contract. Bill made a motion to replace
the office. Sadie seconded the motion and it was passed
with a vote of the board.
- Fire Safety: Anders went on a tour
of the fire suppression areas. He read a report. He
got information and recommendations of improvements
from Jamie Richmond. Some of these problems are with
CDF and they are going to bring inmates out here to
fix the problems. Dennis said 2 tanks are on Humboldt
and one on Yuba. They will be repaired by CDF when the
weather gets better. The water level is normal, the
ponds are full. When the water level gets to below 60%
the pumps automatically come on. There are 8-9 working
units. We will have Curt Hoag come to a meeting to address
the fire issues.
