BOARD MEETING SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

The meeting was called to order by president Darron Hendrickson at 9:05.  Board members present were Darren Hendrickson, Jan Thomson,  Andy Koosman and Nancy Schulberg. 

There were several members of BCCA there.  Dan and Carolyn Brotherton,  Tom Moore,  Jess and Rhonda Morris, Bill and Marilyn Bryant and Duane Wells.  Curt Thomson and Dave Mathis representing water.  Jerry Deputy representing marina.

The minutes had been emailed .  The motion to approve as written was made by Andy and seconded by Nancy.  Approved unanimously.

The treasurer’s report was handed out and reviewed.  Nancy is continuing to get bids on road repair on N. Beach Drive.  Andy needs signatures for the bank from Nancy and Darren and Rhonda.  We also need to delete Tom Moore and Jeff Schattuck from the bank account.  We need to set a reserve amount for BWUC.  The motion to approve treasurer’s report as printed made by Jan and seconded by Darren passed unanimously.  

WATER REPORT

The water commissioners are seeking an additional engineering study specific to needed revisions to the pressure reducing  station on Blue Jay Lane.  The revisions to this part of the water system will require a vote of the membership in June due to the expected cost.  At that time they will have a revised estimate of the cost of this revision. (We will want to transfer money from the Seattle Loop Drive reserve to Blue Jay reducing station reserve).   Transfer of the money will require a vote from the community.  Bill Bryant suggested to the water commission that the lot owner that did the logging on the hillside be put on notice of the potential for damage to the water lines and pressure reducing station located below the site of the logging operation.  It appears this logging was not on owners property but on property listed as sensitive. 

Dave completed flushing the lower portion of the water system this past week.  Dave reported that there was very little manganese this time because of the high water usage during the hot summer.

South Beach Drive has an erosion from rocks being removed from the breakwater that is threatening the main in that area.  Curt will write a letter to Trails End  advising them of our concern.

There is a ditch that has been filled in near the Peabody pressure station.  BWUC will follow up.

The State Health Department inspection of the water system came back with a very positive report.

MARINA

Jerry stated we now have 2 throwing devices on the dock.  We need a ladder for the dock area.  The fire extinguishers need to be serviced or replaced.   There are now life jackets on the dock to be used and returned by all children on the dock.

OLD BUSINESS

Dan Brotherton questions why  Carolyn was removed from architectural committee.  She had not been appointed by the board but had been told she was on the committee.  After discussion,  there was a motion to add her to the committee, by Andy’ and seconded by Darren and passed.   She will be the 4^th member on the committee for this year.

MARINA UPDATE -   Andy Koosman; states we are looking for a person to take charge of this project.  There has been a request for a marina project manager on the web site for nearly a year.   As yet, no one has come forward to volunteer.  No one has even volunteered to help with the project.

There are people of interest from Gig Harbor and Port Townsend to consider for project manager.  This project is a full time job and needs to be done if we are to keep our marina.

COVENANT UPDATE -  Website shows current draft for revision.  There are 2 issues 1) Airbnb and 2) storing RV’s on lots.

NEW BUSINESS 

INSURANCE-we were down to the wire on this.  The water and the BCCA now have separate policies.  The total cost is 15 thousand.  One policy for Water,  one for BCCA and D&O.  We can save money in the future if we have an audit of the water system.

Jeff Shattuck had to resign his board position for personal reasons.   The board appointed Rhonda Morris to fill the term as board member at large. 

Andy made a motion to adjourn at 10:45. Passed.
