The Spring 2012 Home Owners Association General Meeting of White Oak Estates was brought to order at 7:15 PM Monday May 21, 2012 1 by President Mike Nelson.
An updated Homeowners List (Phone numbers/email addresses/lot numbers etc) was distributed for verification.
The Minutes of the Fall 2011 General Meeting (as posted on http://www.whiteoakestateshoa.blogspot.com) were read by Association Secretary Rose Maree Hammer. A motion was presented, seconded and passed that the Minutes of the Fall 2011 General Meeting be accepted.
The Financial Report was presented by Association Treasurer Mel Huber:
* There is $29,051.54 in the account.
* Five association members are currently in the rear, four owing $125, and one owing $250. The Board will look into the possibility of placing a lien on the property owing the $250 past dues.
* Our current CPA Dwyer & Company has become difficult to get a hold of. The board will research the possibility of switching to Sandra DeLong, a local CPA in Colfax.
A motion was presented, seconded and passed that the Financial Report be accepted.
The Road Maintenance Committee reported on the following:
* Installation of the “No Access-Dead End Road” sign
* Posts instead of a low bar will be installed to prevent motor cycle traffic through the 50' Fire Access Easement at the end of White Oak Drive.
* Based upon the Livingston bid received last summer, it was moved, seconded and approved not to exceed $8,000 to repair cracks in the road this summer once the necessary bids were received.
* Suggestions on how to encourage drivers to stay to the right of the road at the blind turns (Van Pelt Corner etc) on White Oak were discussed. No action was taken.
A report was made by Association President Mike Nelson that the Post Master in Colfax did not approve of our attempt to purchase a PO Box for the Association in the bank of mail boxes in White Oak Estates. The new Association PO Box address in town is PO Box 1332 Colfax, CA 95713
A reminder was made to clear property along driveways and roadway.
A reminder was made to not let your dogs/animals run loose. Roger Aaronson has spoken to the owner of the peacocks that wander through. She has about 40 peacocks and is aware of the problem. She is feeding them more to attempt to keep them closer to home.
Mike Nelson reported on seeing an 18” rattle snake and reminded all to be cautious.
Variations of the animal restriction language from Section 6 of the expired CC&R document # 5583 were distributed and discussed. A motion was presented, seconded and passed that the following language be added to the current CC&R document as (e) to Paragraph 15:
* (e) No animals may be kept, bred or raised for commercial purposes or in unreasonable numbers (“unreasonable numbers” to be determined by the association board on an individual basis if a dispute arises).
Copies of the Reformatted CC&R document as approved and amended at the Spring and Fall 2011 General Meetings and the Spring 2012 General Meeting will be mailed to all association members after it is filed at the county. This document replaces ALL prior CC&R/Road Maintenance Agreement documents.
The following topics were discussed during the Open Forum:
* Concern was expressed about trees that overhang the road causing those that drive motorhomes to drive in the middle of the road. The road maintenance committee took the assignment to trim back the trees that are over the road.
* A motion was presented, seconded and passed that Dick Osgood be added to the road maintenance committee.
* The suggestion was made that the CC&R document be posted on the association website (http://www.whiteoakestateshoa.blogspot.com/).
A Motion was presented, seconded and passed to close the meeting at 8 pm.
