Road Committee Report
This year the committee will focus on safety issues. As a test case, a convex mirror will be placed at the switchback by Dave McCaughan's house to improve visibility from both directions. Reflectors will be placed at points of extreme drop-offs, red reflectors on the right side and blue reflectors on the left side going up the mountain.

Two members of the road committee have tendered their resignations because they are concerned they could be personally subject to litigation in the performance of their duties. Mark Smith introduced a motion for the association to identify all association board and committee members so they will not personally be responsible for all litigation costs and expenses that might arise from the performance of their duties. Mark will work on final wording of this motion to be presented again at the next board meeting.

It is important that lot owners communicate directly with board members or Road Committee members and not with contractors working on the road. The contractors have complained to the Road Committee. In some cases they are getting conflicting instructions as to the work they are doing for the association. We have notified the contractors that they are only to take orders from the road committee members unless it is an emergency.

The committee is still having problems getting gravel delivered. Because the roads are in good condition, this is not a critical problem, but is a growing concern for the future.

Planning is being commenced for the second Annual Mountain Clean Sweep. The date will be announced shortly after the first of the year.

Other New Business
Russell Strickland is replacing Robert Johnson as chairman of the Architecture Committee.

One owner, who was only charged one association fee because part of his property was needed for the road projects, owned lots 1 and 7 on Pinnacle North. He has since sold these properties as a parcel to another owner. Tom Pfaffl will check with the courthouse to determine the legal documentation filed with these lots. The board will determine how to handle the fees at the next meeting. A resolution is not needed until June, 2007.

The Queens Gap Development has blocked our entrance to the REMC rightaway. They were also attempting to purchase a property in our association. Robert Graham will contact Queens Gap as to the intentions for the development of their properties and the impact on our association.

The parking lot at the entrance for Pinnacle Parkway was becoming crowded because of people leaving their cars in the area for extended times. The lower associations put notices on cars stating that cars should not be left overnight or may be subject to towing. This is not an acceptable solution to the long term parking problem. Robert Graham will talk with the lower association president about this problem. Ronnie Styles will talk with Mr. Couch who is the actual owner of the property, which contains the parking lot. The lot should continue to be used for short tem parking for members and guests.

The board approved a motion for repairing well systems that has been damaged as a result of grading. We will purchase a number of supplies to be stored for emergencies. Also, we will pay members for their work at a rate of $100 for the 1st and 2nd hours and $50 per hour thereafter. The work will need to be approved by a board member.

The board also approved the listing of property owner names and addresses (no phone numbers) on the website since this is public information that is available at the courthouse. The member information is only accessible through a pin number.

The association now pays for the website on an annual basis. All information that is placed on the website needs to continue to go through Cindy Maddox.

Mark Smith will follow through on obtaining a credit card to facilitate the buying of supplies or the paying of contractors. The approval process for expenses will not change.

Next Meeting
The next meeting is scheduled at 10:00 AM at Ronnie Styles home on January 20, 2007.
