Briarwood Action Association board votes in new member, hears water-treatment crack report and approves routine reports
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting the Briarwood Action Association board unanimously approved minutes and financial and utility reports, voted in Joe Poffel as a board member and heard that the water operator reported a crack in a water-treatment cell and recommended an engineering review.
The Briarwood Action Association board met Jan. 13, 2025, and unanimously approved the Dec. 9, 2024 minutes and the association’s financial and utility reports before voting in a new board member and discussing infrastructure needs.
President Brandon Bueler called the meeting to order at 7:07 p.m.; Travis Roe served as the recording secretary. Greg Davis moved to accept the Dec. 9 minutes, Nancy Lewis seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Jim Camden moved to accept the financial report, seconded by Kyle Bone; that motion also passed unanimously. Josh Brower moved to accept the utility report, seconded by Greg Davis, and the board approved it unanimously.
During pre-meeting remarks, resident Joe Poffel said he had ordered new speed-limit signs and that BAA would reimburse him; he also asked about the association’s cold-patch road repairs. The meeting record notes that oil-based cold patch cannot be shoveled until ambient temperatures are above freezing.
Josh Brower read a message from Don, the association’s water operator, saying there was "a crack in one of the cells of our water treatment facility" and recommending that the board hire an architectural engineer to investigate the defect and consider adding a sewer cell to the treatment structure. The board did not record any engineering contract or vote in the transcript; the recommendation was entered as a report for follow-up.
Committee reports were short. The Architectural Committee, Lake and Beach, Security, Rules and Regulations, and Website each reported nothing to present. The Dams Report said the board is seeking bids to rock about 200 feet of the dam to address erosion or stabilization concerns. The Roads report noted the salt-truck agitator needs replacement and named “Caldwell” as the party to perform the work. The Park and Entrance report said the island at the front entrance was struck by the association plow.
The board entered a closed session to discuss legal matters, lot ownership issues and outstanding back dues; the transcript records only that the closed session occurred and that the board later returned to open session. In new business after the closed session, the board voted to appoint Joe Poffel as a board member. The meeting was adjourned at 7:48 p.m. on a motion by Josh Brower, seconded by Greg Davis.
The board’s minutes record the motions and that each passed unanimously but do not list individual roll-call votes in the transcript. No firm decisions about hiring an engineer or scheduling dam work were recorded in the open transcript; those items appear as reports or requests for follow-up.
