Ownership of Beauty Bay Drive and Easement: the legal ownership of Beauty Bay right-of-way was raised when the sale of a property at Beauty Bay Estates was stalled because of “no legal access” to the property. This situation was from a dispute in the early 1990s when Floyd Flowers was to have given up the right of ownership of the right-of-way in exchange for other land adjacent to his property. A survey was completed and papers filed with the court in 1995. It was assumed that Mr. Flowers completed his part judgement. BBHOA has done due diligence in trying to resolve the issue and were under the impression that all parties in the lawsuit had completed their part. Mr. Flowers has indicated to some homeowners that he can stop access to Beauty Bay Dr. After consulting with legal counsel it was agreed that BBHOA would meet with the county to determine status of Beauty Bay Dr. A new survey needs to be completed by the county – it was not done when the new culvert was installed in 2016 to determine boundary lines for Floyd property. If delineation of the property cannot be resolved from a survey then an attorney will be consulted. Barbara Christofferson is to meet with Mr. Wilson from the highway department.
Application for Submerged Land Lease: renewal of the dock lease is due March 2017. Lease application will be submitted by Angela Brown (Secretary) on behalf of the association and a copy made for the HOA records.
Insurance: Angela Brown will meet with the insurance company to discuss the following
- adding the picnic shelter to the insurance policy
- having coverage for the HOA directors and officers
- explore the “dock language” is in accordance with the Idaho Department of Lands requirements
Delinquent Homeowners: there are two homeowners delinquent in HOA dues. The following was agreed upon by the board of directors:
- ‘Owner’ (Block 4 Lot 5) has paid no dues since acquiring the property in September 2012. Invoices sent via certified mail have been “returned to sender”. It was agreed to place a lien on this property.
- ‘Owner’ (Block 4 Lot 6) has been delinquent in dues since 2006. After much correspondence between ‘Owner’ and the HOA Secretary to try and resolve the issue, the board agreed to reduce delinquent dues to $1000.00 if paid in $200.00 increments over the next five years or when the property was sold, whichever came first. These were to be paid in addition to regular dues each year and ‘Owner’ had to remain current. Failure to do so would result in a lien being placed on the property for the full amount of back dues ($1510.00).
Homeowner Alert System: events over the winter with regard to roads highlighted the need for a homeowner alert system and to quickly and effectively disseminate information. This is also a factor during fire season. The secretary will canvas homeowners and determine the best way to contact them.
Mowing: Bill Braid is going to look into mowing contracts for the common area for the 2017 season.
Snow removal and Sanding Bill: the 2016-2017 snow removal and sanding bill is expected to be higher than normal due to the extreme conditions experienced this year. It was agreed to send out a letter to our non-HOA neighbors to request a donation to help defray the costs of road maintenance this year.
Change in Officers: Barbara Christofferson stepped down as President of the HOA and assumed the position of Vice President. Bill Braid stepped down as Vice President and assumed position of President. A motion was made and seconded by the Board of Directors.
Change Bank Account: It was approved to change location of the HOA bank account to a free checking account. Currently only one signer (Angela Brown, Secretary/Treasurer) is on the account. The Board of Directors approved Bill Braid (President) to be a second signer on the account.
Meeting adjourned at 7:30pm
