Briarwood Action Association board approves minutes, financials and utilities; discusses dam repairs and lake security
Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting, the Briarwood Action Association unanimously approved prior minutes, the financial report and the utilities report, and discussed maintenance items including seeking new bids for dam rip-rap and reports of an untagged boat fishing the lake.
The Briarwood Action Association, the homeowners' association for Briarwood Estates, voted unanimously on Dec. 9 to approve the previous meeting minutes, the financial report and the utilities report, and spent much of the meeting reviewing maintenance and security issues.
President Brandon Buehler called the meeting to order at 7:15 p.m. and Travis Roe recorded the minutes. A pre-meeting note recorded that Michelle Sauer dropped off a construction packet and bond for 1645 Brandywine.
The board approved the prior meeting minutes on a motion by Josh Brower, seconded by Greg Davis. The financial report, presented by Brandon Buehler and read by Greg Davis, was accepted on a motion by Brower and a second by Jim Camden. The utilities report, presented by Greg Davis, was likewise approved on Brower’s motion and Camden’s second. Each motion carried unanimously; no roll-call votes with individual tallies were recorded in the minutes.
On maintenance, Greg Davis reported he had called Ultra about rip-rap and cutting of the dam but had not received a response and said he would seek other bids or sources for the work. Board members also reviewed lake and beach upkeep: Brandon Buehler said Mickey Kays removed a porta-potty from the beach while Jim Camden removed picnic tables, and the board discussed adding sand to the beach area.
Security issues were raised in the utilities/security report: a maroon Dodge towing a Ranger boat has been observed fishing most Sunday mornings without Briarwood tags, suggesting enforcement of lake access and tags may be needed. Separately, Jim Camden reported he purchased and applied grease to the back gate to address a maintenance problem.
The board noted an update to its rules and regulations: information about chicken coops has been added to the association website. On roads and equipment, Greg Davis requested a bid for a lean-to shed to protect the plow truck and reported that gravel had been laid and graded to repair roads “as fast as possible.” The board is also checking into a new speed-limit sign for the front entrance, has sourced replacement stop signs and noted that Rob purchased a 6-foot ladder to assist with maintenance tasks.
The meeting, which listed seven members present and two absent, adjourned at 7:52 p.m. on a motion by Josh Brower, seconded by Jenni Reid. No votes other than the consensus approvals were recorded in the minutes; no formal timelines or deadlines for the discussed maintenance actions were specified.
