foreclosure proceedings because of delinquent Association
dues. Recently, the cabin and lots 37 and 38 listed with United
County Real Estate were purchased by a current member. All
back dues, interest and attorney fees have been paid;
therefore, the foreclosure proceedings will be cancelled. The
ownership of Lot 47 is still unknown however, there is an
adjacent member interested in acquiring this lot as well. A
local realtor is also working on this transaction. If the owner
cannot be identified, we may be able to start the Probate
process to sell the lot.
E. Johnson recommended that Board change the Dec. meeting
from Dec. 14, 2019 to Dec. 7, 2019 as the Elk hunt begins on
Dec. 14, 2019. A message will be put in the CCR News.
E. Johnson reported the first application of dust control has
been completed however due to a shortage of product the
cost of brine has increased from .16 per gallon to .21 per gallon.
Future budgets will need to be adjusted.
E. Johnson reported the annual cleanup day was a success
however, this year’s cost was $5,600 compared to 2,900 spent
last year. This year we notice a significate increase in
construction material which may have to be restricted in
future years.
Next month E. Johnson will present the Board with a Ranch
House Lobby furniture replacement proposal. Our current

asked the Board to look at the current furniture before next
month’s meeting.
