Wade did not think we were being charged interest but Donna reported interest payments of about 10%. Donna also reported that she will be meeting with the CDC’s CPA soon to review our balance sheet.

Corresponding Secretary/Membership Report: Nothing to report.

OLD BUSINESS:

    • NFCP Update- Wade reports “the status quo” for the power plant. The construction should be completed in 7-8 weeks. He also reported that a meeting of all involved parties occurred last week for 2 full days, 7/17-18.
    • Facebook Update: Nick was not present to report the current status. 
    • Lot Line Adjustments, Transfer Updates and Escrow Status: Everything is out of escrow. John Reed needs information from the Boosters to allow him to finalize the Lot #1 transfer. Cathey agreed to resend the information.
    • Lawsuit Updates: There was a hearing scheduled last week on 7/18 which resulted in an extension to 8/10 with nothing, as yet, resolved.
  • Budget Approval: Tabled for next meeting.
  • Infrastructure Completion Plans (Roads)
    • RFP for roads: The County accepted all engineering plans for the roads.  The RFP is ready to be sent out for bids. It will be sent to 5 companies: Sage Engineering, Faysal Construction, California Paving, Precision Paving 
  • POA Discussion: Wade agreed to add the POA members to our CDC mailing list. We want to invite them to our monthly meetings and Wade reported that the POA has shown interest in strengthening our interactions. Wade explained that he would like them to meet separately before or after our meeting with the hope that the CDC would have a representative attend their meeting and they would have a representative attend ours.
  • Utilities, rental costs, grounds maintenance: Wade reported that he approached Kenny Quigley about becoming our grounds maintenance contractor and Kenny confirmed his interest.  Matt reported that he has continued his discussions with G.S. West about providing a new propane tank to serve the CDC office. They quoted a price of $3.05/gallon versus the $5.30/gallon we have been paying Ferrellgas. The board asked Matt, as an alternate option, to see if Ferrellgas might reduce their price given this large discrepancy. Matt agreed. Jennifer made a motion to switch to G.S. West and spend up to $500 to have a trench dug from the Ferrellgas tank to the new G.S. West tank location closer to the CDC office (if an agreement with Ferrellgas for better pricing is not successful).  This motion was not acted upon. Matt discussed the office space rental situation at the CDC office. He reported that we are charging approximately $1.45/SF for rental space (including all utilities) and collecting approximately $28,185/year in rent.  The concern is that the current renters are not being charged uniformly.

New Business

  • Bylaws:  Wade expressed concern that our bylaws are out of date. In particular, the list of potential CDC Organizational Members list needs updating. Jennifer and Christina agreed to review the bylaws and bring suggestions for updates to our next meeting with the goal of preparing a draft by October and a final revision by our November meeting. They also agreed to prepare a list of overall goals for the CDC including ideas for a top priority project for downtown North Fork.


  • Social Media: Wade expressed his desire to promote the CDC in our community by sponsoring events, tours and signage.  Some members of the board thought that it might be a bit early to invite the public until we have established our new overall CDC goals. For signage, Jean agreed to investigate site identification signage and Matt agreed to investigate signage displaying the accomplishments and goals for the CDC site with a map and relevant information.

Organization Reports

 

    • Christina reported that the Indian Museum will be having their annual Powwow on 8/5 & 8/6.

  • Cathey reported that the Boosters will be conducting a fundraiser, Paint at Town Hall, with wine & cheese being served on 8/11 for $50/ticket.

  • Jean reported that the Friends of the Library is having another Yard Sale & Swap Meet at Bandit Town on 8/26.

  • Infrastructure Completion Plans (Roads)
    • RFP for roads: 3 contractors/crews are interested in doing the road work. Cathey has two fences up and will need reimbursement. Wade believes that if we were to hand over a lot to the POA, the project should be completed. Paul shared that County improvement agreement documents that responsibility. Dan shared that we ought to consider that we have some credit with the POA. It as asked if we have a seat on the POA board or have someone attending their meetings. (we might consider displaying parcel map at future meetings)

New Business

  • Discuss Lots 5, 6, and 8 (Should we sell): Cathey made a motion not relist them. Seconded by Sandy. Motion carried.
  • POA Discussion: POA does not currently have a regular meeting time/location. They are interested in working together and meeting with us i.e. coming to our meetings and piggybacking on our meeting dates.
  • Utilities (i.e. solar, propane, garbage): Matt volunteers to do some research/organization of costs i.e. per square footage, perhaps referenceing pricees in Oakhurst. A crane might be required to remove the propane tank (which we own) and possible move to new more accessible location. Discussion of continuing use of the one we own. Jean raised the point that there are ever changing codes/etc that could be more easily managed by renting. Solar panel arm is broken, Cathey/Jen might know someone to fix it and will reach out to that person. Donna shared that not many options for garbage service (EMADCO).
  • Rental costs for tenants (COLA statement, utilities such as H2O)
  • Consideration of regular grounds maintenance staff (for inside/outside, esp. around CDC bldg) Wade talked to someone who can cover grounds maintenance. Pritchard creek needs to be cleaned out before regular maintenance can be done there. Dan suggested POA be included on discussion of clean-up. Clarified that frontage will be included.

 

Organization Reports

Cathey shared that the parade is going to go on. Jean shared that the library’s Summer reading program is going on. Lost a little time due to outdated list of contractors. Applying for another grant to expand library into the basement, parking lot, paving, accessibility. The first round of grant funding focus was to address things like safety and drainage.

Mike: Scenic byway is working on interpretive signs (national park standard signs) but there will be a delay with all of the fire work being done. EMC Foundation has a trails group working on connecting communities from here to eventually Mariposa (Jorge Negrete is the lead) for walking/biking/horseback riding “muscle powered trails”.

Wade shared that Tom intends to donate back the old fire engine.

  1. Rodent infestation in CDC building – rats and mice in kitchen, remove washer/dryer for access: One suggestion was to take away the washer and dryer and patch closed the holes.  This will keep the mice and rats out a bit better!   Maryanne Welton moved, Cathey Thornberg seconded, to offer the washer and dryer to someone in need (be it an individual, organization or school), o a first come, first served basis.  Motion carried.  There were several ideas for this, including someone that Donna Henderson knew, who would buy them for $100 each.

Donna Henderson asked if Jason can move to office #4 for the same rent as he has now, and the Boosters rent the office on the end that has handicapped accessibility.  There was concensus to do this.

 

  1. Formation of Property Owner’s Association: Dan Rosenberg reported that the property owners are meeting tomorrow night (January 24th), to form the North Fork Millsite Property Owners Association.  He will report on that next month. They will approve the articles of incorporation, by-laws, and form a board of directors.  They will address the fee structure for the POA.
