Guests: Roberta
Armstrong, Carole Garland
The
meeting was called to order at 7:10 pm.
The
first order of business was a discussion of the current road conditions. Up to Junipero, conditions are good. West of Junipero, recent rains have impacted
the road. The ditches are filling with
silt, road gravel, and tumbleweed. The
culvert pipe is about half full of silt on the downstream side and there is
some minor undercutting of the road surface on the north side of the road.
We
then reviewed the Treasurer’s Report.
After discussion, Jake moved that the report be accepted, Henry seconded the motion, and it was unanimously
approved.
The
current balance is $6,462.71. We need to
reserve funds for the following expenses (amounts are approximate) in this
budget year:
Commercial liability
insurance: $1600
One more grading of road 2500
Snowplowing 600
Thus,
we have approximately $1700 left should additional expenses arise.
The
topic of slowing traffic was then discussed.
Several residents have asked whether speed bumps could be
installed. Various options for traffic
calming were discussed but no decisions were made. Al will seek information on
the optimal width and depth of rolling dips (a traffic calming device) and how
such dips need to be marked. At some point we may survey the community to
determine the level of support for some means of slowing traffic.
We
will implement a few ideas to encourage people to drive more slowly:
A sign in English and Spanish,
asking people to slow down
A set of humorous signs (to be paid
for privately)
A letter to residents, reminding
them to drive slowly and to ask delivery people, workmen, etc.
to slow down as well.
Jim will send an email to
the SRRA members with a general update. We also need to contact residents on
the west end of the road so that they are aware that the $1700 remaining in our
budget would not be enough to repair the road if a flash flood washes it out
again.
There
being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
