OLD BUSINESS
Netafin Project- An update was provided to
the Board regarding recent discussions with the Town of Castle
Rock Council as well as Town Utility Department staff. The Town
has advised the Association that although over the past 4 years
the Town has allocated 1 ½ inches of water per week they
are planning to implement a new policy that will only allow a
maximum of ½ inch per week. The Town staff admits that
they fully understand ½ inch of irrigation per week will
not sustain turf as we know it and is currently installed in the
median. The Town Council and staff also admit that they desire
that the turf be removed from Plum Creek Boulevard and replaced
with xeriscaping such as gravel and drought resistant shrubs.
Based upon this new information, a motion was made, seconded and
passed to suspend the Net - a -Fin project until a final determination
can be made. The Board was also apprised that the portion of Net
- A -Fin installed this spring on several islands at the south
end of Plum Creek Boulevard have a net cost of $ 8,200.
NEW BUSINESS
Speed Signs-At the Boards' request, Pristine
Communities obtained a bid proposal to install traffic monitoring
signs for installation along Plum Creek Boulevard and Mount Royal
Drive. The Town of Castle Rock Public Works Department was also
contacted to advise them of the planned traffic system. The Town
staff has advised the Association that speed monitoring devices
must be approved by the Town and they have not yet approved the
monitoring devices being considered by the Association although
Douglas County has just spent in excess of $ 100,000 to install
the same exact system at Perry Park. The Town also advised the
Association that they are considering other "traffic quieting
" options but would not be more specific. The Board has decided
to table this matter until the Town of Castle Rock provides specific
information on their plans.
Education Programs - A motion was made, seconded and passed
approving the reimbursement to board members who elect to participate
in education programs that are offered by Community Associations
Institute for which the cost does not exceed $ 100.00.
