Discussion: Mrs. McPherson questioned
the bills presented by Advanced Gate. Mrs. Brown explained:
The $85 charge is for one trip charge. Mr. Braun contacted Eric
(Advanced Gate) on at least four occasions, requesting that Eric
come down to repair the gate. On each occasion Mr. Braun had the
power disconnected with the gate propped open when Eric arrived.
Eric turned the power back on, closed the gate, and waited at
least one hour each time, but no problems were encountered with
the gate. Normally Eric does not charge for callouts, but after
four unsuccessful trips he felt he had to charge for at least
one trip.
Joe Price motioned to approve payment of the
bills as presented, with the exception of Advanced Gate. The check
for Advanced Gate will be held for one week from the date of this
meeting. If in that week there are no problems with the gates,
Sandy Brown may release the check to Advance. If the gates become
inoperative during the week, the check is to be held until the
problem is properly corrected. Tonya McPherson seconded. Motion
carried unanimously.

carried unanimously.
GROUNDSKEEPER REPORT
The board reviewed the Groundskeeper report submitted by Don Braun
for the period of November 29 through December 30, 2002.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Mrs. Brown reported that six lots have not complied with the requirement
to connect to the sewer. Five of the six property owners have
already contracted with contractors to have the work performed.
The remaining property owner, Cynthia Merchant is currently out
of the country. The board determined that the association will
hire a contractor to hook-up any lots that have not complied within
a specified time period (undetermined) and bill the property owner.
In the event the property owner does not agree to reimburse the
association; the board will lien the property to recover the costs
associated with the sewer connection.
Mrs. Brown stated that Bill Woodside will
begin painting the bridge rails no later than January 15, 2003.
OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Baker reported that $19,980 was retained from Kenko's final
payment. Mr. Churchill has written three letters to Kenko regarding
drainage issues, and damages to property that has not been corrected.
The board reviewed a list of damages reported to Kenko. Mrs. Brown
will obtain a copy of the punch list to determine what the contractor
has not completed, and report to Mr. Churchill.
Mrs. Brown was directed to have a water truck
spray the streets to identify flood areas and report to Kenko.
The board wants requested representatives from both the homeowners
association and Kenko are when this is done to "hash-out"
any disputes regarding liability. Mrs. Brown was further directed
to ascertain and document the areas that had drainage problems
prior to paving and have not been changed in any way by the paving.
The board discussed a drain that was requested
by Mr. Moody. The homeowners association did not approve installation
of this drain. Mr. Moody purchased the materials and requested
the contractor install the drain. The homeowners association is
not liable for the cost of this drain.
The board discussed center markers. Joe Price
stated he wasn't aware of any center markers prior to the sewer
construction. Jack Sweeney stated his contractor had located monuments
prior to the sewer construction, but was unable to locate any
after the construction. Mr. Sweeney will attempt to document where
the monuments were located prior to the sewer construction.
Mr. Baker directed Mrs. Brown to contact Don
Foster to determine if he has received work orders to perform
any repair work within the Keys. If Mr. Foster does not have pending
work orders, Mrs. Brown is to contact the Buckskin Sanitary District
and the contractor to notify that pending problems still exist.
Mr. Churchill was directed to write a letter
to the Buckskin Sanitary District notifying that effective immediately
the Lake Moovalya Keys Board of Directors requires contractors
and utility companies to obtain prior permission before "saw
cuts" are made in the roads.
Mr. Baker reported that he is awaiting a bid
from T&C Seal Coat to "seal coat" the streets. A
seal coat will help preserve the streets. Striping will be completed
after the seal coat.
Mr. Chambers reported that one fire hydrant
was installed on the bridge by Papago Loop. Mr. Baker stated that
the hydrant "looks good". It was suggested that the
hydrants be painted the same color as the bridge rails. Mrs. Brown
will try to coordinate with Mr. Woodside to have the hydrants
painted at the same time the rails are painted. Mr. Chambers recommended
having the hydrants painted before installation.
Mr. Churchill advised the board that Clint
Wells has filed a lawsuit against the Buckskin Sanitary District,
the Contractor, and numerous other to include the homeowners association.
Mr. Churchill responded to Mr. Wells attorney that the homeowners
association did not contract with the sewer contractor to have
the work performed and has no liability. The contract was established
and engaged in by the Buckskin Sanitary District board.
Mr. Baker stated that the county has requested
a current copy of the associations CC&R's. Mrs. Brown stated
that she had provided the County Zoning Department with a copy,
but will give them another copy. Mr. Chambers stated that the
county inspector informed him that the county is requiring all
projects, even if previously approved, to submit a variance request.
The inspector stated that the county is requiring the variance
request due to the problems encountered in the association, i.e.,
Glass project. Mr. Baker requested that Mr. Chambers direct Mr.
Heberling to contact Mr. Churchill regarding this matter.
Mr. Baker asked why the "dead" palm
tree had not been replaced. Mr. Braun was not available to respond.
Mrs. Brown reported that she does have an
American Flag to replace the worn flag.
Mr. Baker was to have plans for the "Association
Building" for the board to review. Mr. Baker did not have
plans drawn up due to differences among board members as to what
is needed.
Mr. Baker wants to have proposals for the
trash gates, stucco work, the building, and any other projects
ready to present at the annual meeting. Homeowners will be given
the opportunity to vote on these projects at the annual meeting.
Mr. Baker asked Mr. Churchill about the status
of the quit claim deed for the common areas. Mr. Churchill responded
that he had not received the "meets and bounds" description
from the surveyor at this time.
The board discussed the antenna at the gate.
Joe Price motioned to purchase a longer antenna,
disregarding the gate company's recommendation. Tonya McPherson
seconded. No further discussion. Motion carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS
The board received plans to be considered for lots 245, and 216.
Construction deposits were not received from either property owner
nor were the plans received in sufficient time for the board to
review. Therefore, the board will review and make recommendations
at the next regular meeting.
Mr. Price discussed having Mr. Parsell examine
the bridges while the water levels are down. Mrs. Brown was directed
to contact Mr. Parsell and request that he travel to Parker while
the water levels are down to physically examine the bridges and
make his recommendations.
