Unofficial Minutes from our big May Annual Meeting.

1. The newly elected Board met Tuesday evening at August 3, for the first time. Decisions were made on road improvements and water shut-offs. You can see what was decided by checking the unofficial Minutes above. And welcome to our new Board: Wendy Jeffes, Larry Johnson, Dan Gurwell, Brent Adamson, and Art Burget.

2. Homeowners have now received their annual notice for maintenance and water fees for the year. For more information on this, see July's unofficial Minutes.

3. Magnesium chloride was applied to all the roads in the subdivision on June 29th.

4. Thanks to all those who participated in our Spring Clean Up Day in the subdivision on Saturday, June 12th. Here are some pictures of the event. Another one may be planned for this fall. The Board will be contacting several residents whose properties are in need of some serious work in this regard.

5. To save money on postage, the Board is hoping to gather email addresses from subdivision residents. If you would like to receive information via email, please let a Board member know.

6. About forty homeowners attended the Annual Meeting on Saturday, May 15th, to learn more about the workings of the subdivision and to offer suggestions about how things could be better. (See the unofficial annual meeting minutes above for more details.)

Among the things discussed and agreed upon were these: a) spend homeowner money to explore the concept of a class action lawsuit against those who have not been paying their fair share; b) pursue the shutting off of water to those who have not paid in the past year; c) generally increase the level of enforcement of the CCR's; d) continue the dust abatement program initiated several years ago; and e) don't bother to change the gate code.

7. The following individuals are way overdue in the paying of their water and road payments: the names of individuals more than a year behind.

8. We now have a Facebook page for discussions about issues facing Duquette Pines. Check out our page.
