   Minutes for the last (February 27, 2006) meeting had been e-mailed to the board and were approved as written.

I. OLD BUSINESS 

  A. FINANCE: Paul Finkel had e-mailed the latest Bank Balances, etc. to the Board and there were no comments at the meeting. There is little change from last month.

  B. MEMBERSHIP: Don Dettmering handed out the membership renewals for the last 12 months. Since 15 September 2005 we have 21 new members and 274 renewing members. Don will expand the summaries to include prior years.

  C. SPR&TV MISSION: Based on some editing comments from the Board in the last two meetings, Steve Smith presented the final Mission Statement. This was unanimously approved by the Board and will be e-mailed to all board members.

  D. BALDY EVENT: The clean-up event will be on 21 July. Several of the more rugged vehicles will take non-hikers up from the parking area at the top of Baldy Road where the dirt road to Iowa Mine begins. Meet at this point about 8:30 AM. Water will be available at the site, but no lunch as we will be down by lunch time.

  E. SIGNAL: There were 550 Signals printed, 520 mailed, and 25 distributed to the three libraries.

The costs were $390 to print, $108 for postage, and $75 for the layout editor. The next issue will be printed early in July. George Kornreich plans to feature one board member in each issue.

  F. SUMMIT CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP: Our membership renewal of $120 is due and Sue Greene asked if we are getting our money's worth. The unanimous response from the Board was "no" and we will not be renewing this year.

  G. ENGINEERING: Gary had e-mailed lots of information on engineering accomplishments, progress and plans as well as other technical issues. Additional information was provided at the meeting. All discussion was on the first item - the status of the conditional use permit process. Several board members voiced concerns about our tenants and landlords in regards to legal consequences of inclusion in our use permit. Our lawyer was not present and so we were free to voice our many concerns about the possible dire consequences if we are not careful. This process will be continued at the April meeting with informed legal input.

     ***********************

   NEXT BOARD MEETING: The next meeting will be at 5:45 on Monday 24 April 2006 at the County Commons in Frisco.

   OTHER DATES TO REMEMBER: 21 July (Baldy Event)  and  5 August (Picnic).

John Roberts, Secretary
