WOODLAND HILLS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION BOARD MEETING
April 13, 2011
The meeting began at 6:45pm. Attending were Randy Alexander, Jim Stewart, Dick Helmstetter, Kathy Colasardo, Carol Crozman, Lois Lund and Ed Striebel.
Secretary's
Report: Jim read the minutes from the March
meeting. They were superb. Randy motioned to accept the minutes with a
2nd by Dick.
Income
Statement: Net lack of income in March was a minus
$28. Jim motioned to accept the income
statement with a 2nd by Kathy.
Water Report: Water losses
for the month were 28 percent. It was a
quiet month for the water system. Randy
made a motion to accept the water report and Carol seconded.
Old Business: The board
stuffed envelopes with a letter to the residents advising them of the change of
venue for the annual meeting to the Black Hawk Fire Department. The board secured the use of the fire hall
after most folks had already paid their water bill so resident might not have
seen a newsletter in the mailbox.
The board has two openings as Dick and
Carol’s terms are ending. Both have indicated they would run again.
New Business: Blaise Emerson from the Black Hills Council
of Local Government spoke to the board regarding the water project. The South Dakota Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (DENR) approved placement of the Woodland Hills water
project into the State Water Facilities Plan.
This only makes the project eligible to apply to the DENR’s programs for
funding considerations. The next step
will be for the board and residents to agree on the project and submit it for
consideration. A public hearing will be
held prior to the board taking out a loan.
Blaise said that our project might be eligible for grants or principal
forgiveness of 10 to 25 percent of the project cost.
The next meeting
will be held May 11th. This
meeting was adjourned at 7:45pm
Submitted by Jim
Stewart, Recording Secretary.
