Agenda Additions/Changes: Add
under Announcements Sadie Bentz. Add under Unfinished
Business CC&R and Bylaw Committee appointments. Add
under Executive Session Meeting Agenda meeting with
the Auditor.
Guests: Steve Costanzo: Bill
introduced Steve Costanzo. He is from Columbia Communications.
They put in the sign at the Chamber of Commerce on Main
Street in Red Bluff. Steve handed out a packet telling
about the sign program. They have put in most of the
electronic signs in Tehama County. The sign would be
put in without any cost to the Association. 10-12 sponsors
would pay for the sign in 5 years, including installation.
The electricity would be approximately $30.00 per month.
The commercial signage is limited to 25%. The other
75% is available to the Association for whatever announcements
the Association wants to put up. It will be run from
a computer in the Association Office. They are ready
to go with the Board OK. They could have the sign installed
within 7 weeks. Karis Pierce said the Board needs to
check the length of contract the Association is allowed
to enter in to. The Association would have to front
a $15,000 deposit which will be returned within approximately
2 weeks. The ad contracts are for 2 years and Columbia
Communication will get the sponsors for the sign. At
the end of 2 years we can either renew the contracts
or if new sponsors are needed they can come back and
get us new sponsors for a fee, which would be covered
by the ad fees paid by the sponsors. Karis Piece checked
in the Bylaws and Board members are only allowed to
enter into one year contracts. Steve said that could
be worked with in the type of financing they get. The
life of the sign is 20 years, with the need of refreshing
in 10-15 years. After the sign is paid off in 5 years
the Association can collect revenue on the sign ads.
Bill made a motion to enter into a contract that is
allowed by the bylaws for the sign. Karis seconded the
motion. The vote was 4 I's, with Jim Long abstaining.

Post Office: Karis Pierce She
mentioned that the Post Office roof does leak during
the rain and a new building needs to be acquired as
soon as possible. Fire Station: Jim Long wants to put
Anders White as the liaison over the
Fire Station. Jerry Kohler said
he would like to discuss it first.
Maintenance: Danny Murray He
posted a map of what the Maintenance crew will be working
on during the summer. Danny is getting a quote on replacing
the roof of the Fawn Meadows Restrooms and the awing
for the new office. He went to the County and found
out who their road paint supplier is. He is checking
into costs of striping the roads. Danny also checked
on the price of green reflective street signs. Karis
Pierce suggested checking with prison industries for
a price. Jerry Kohler mentioned that all committees
need to submit reports to the office each month on the
Friday before the Board Meeting.
Architectural Committee: Dee Oliver
Written report submitted to the board
Budget/Finance Committee: Danika
McClelland Written report submitted to the board
By-Law and CC&R Committee: Lupe
Green said the committee has some questions they need
answered. She had previously submitted them to the board.
Jerry Kohler said that their charge is to compare the
old CC&Rs with the new ones and to review community
input. When they have their community meetings they
want to have Janice Menzies take minutes. The Board
said that would be fine.
Election Committee: Marcia Rouse
No report this month. Marcia Rouse is ill. Transfer
Station: Cathy Johnson Danny Murray made a report for
Cathy Johnson. They have reorganized the transfer station;
it is no longer under maintenance. Peggy is now in charge
of the Transfer Station and works Monday through Friday.
Johnny Palmer works the weekends. Danny wanted to remind
everyone that trash must be bagged or covered while
being transported to the Transfer Station. This is not
a new rule, but it seems it is being ignored. We have
been having a lot of trash blown out of vehicles on
to our roads.
Unfinished Business:
Appointments to the
CC&R and Bylaw Committee: Jerry Kohler
Jerry Kohler appointed
Wendell Bonner and Larry Williams to the Committee.
Jerry said a list of charges for the committee was made.
The committee said they have not received the list.
Janice Menzies will get a copy and give it to the committee.
New Business:
The Board and Public
Officials: Karis Pierce
Karis said there seemed
to be a negative view of Rancho Tehama in the surrounding
areas. Bill Massey said, as board members, we need to
find ways to involve ourselves in outside activities.
Jerry Kohler said that there are also community block
grants that are available to low income areas. We need
to check into getting some. We could possibly get one
for a gathering place for our youth. Lupe Green said
she has a lot of contacts. She would like to help us
in the public relations area. Jerry Kohler asked Lupe
if she can look into getting us grants for the community.
Dee Oliver mentioned that we should have someone going
to the General Plan Meetings. Lupe said she has been
attending. Jerry asked if Lupe can keep us informed
about the General Plan. Danika McClelland said that
the Budget and Finance Committee is looking into grants
for our parks. Danika asked if Lupe Green can look into
grants for our parks also.
Management Company:
Jerry Kohler
Jerry Kohler asked if
the board would be interested in checking into possibly
getting a management company. It is difficult to run
a million dollar company with volunteers. A management
company would run the operation. Penny McGee has previously
looked into a management company before. We could possibly
look into an office manager. Karis will look into a
manager. Jerry said it is important that we look for
quality in management, not just saving money.
