In the absence of the treasurer an informal report was given by president Mike Brockert. There is approximately $5,000 in the bank, to date.

Old business:
The new membership form was presented. President Mike Brockert said we now have approximately 60 members.

President Mike Brockert read a letter from Mike Robinson, who heads the committee on dumpster acquisition. All of the options were discussed. The dumpster matter was tabled until spring.

New business:
President Mike Brockert explained that Ray Sola has volunteered to put up a web site for Ponderosa Park Association. There was a discussion held. The web site will cost only about $15 per year. Carol Hinkle made a motion that we put up the web site. Connie Ellis seconded the motion. Motion carried. If you have information for the web site, contact Ray at RSola AT Ponderosa Park Association.org. Our new url for the website is PonderosaParkAssociation.org. Our official name is Ponderosa Park Association.

There was discussion about the concern over fast and unlicensed vehicles on the park roads. The only recourse is to call the sheriff’s office. If you can find out ahead of time where the vehicles originate from it will be helpful to the sheriff’s office. But they will only come out while the vehicles are operating in an unlawful fashion and only if they have someone free at the time.

There was a discussion regarding playground equipment at the picnic area and president Mike Brockert explained that it was decided at the previous meeting not to do this because of liability issues.

There was a discussion about the silent auction for the picnic and the general consensus was that the money from the silent auction would go to a separate fund to purchase something for the picnic area or to purchase a permanent sign for notice of meetings, etc.

President Mike Brockert thanked Judy Midkiff for preparing and putting up all of the signs for the picnic and for getting all of the food and supplies for the picnic.

He also explained that we are going to start putting the Ponderosa Park Association newsletter on our new web page instead of mailing it out to everyone. In the coming newsletter that we will send to all members we will ask that if they want a mailed copy they will have to request one in writing.

At 3:45 P. M., Allen Laudenslager made a motion that we adjourn the meeting and Glenn Peterson seconded the motion. The motion carried.
