The members expressed their thanks to Director David Weber for another fine newsletter that was mailed to all residents.
The situation with chickens being kept on the Ranch was postponed since Frank Chuba was not present to render a report. Recorder Jim Bergeron will contact Mr. Chuba to assure a follow-up is made and report to the Board at the May meeting.
President McGuire reported that he discussed blind e-mailings to residents with webmaster Jase Campbell and it can be done. If a filter can be added to the site to block pop-ups and unwanted ads, that would be beneficial. Mr. Campbell will be asked if that is a possibility. Since Director Jim Zalmanek surfaced the idea, it was decided to let him coordinate the project with Mr. Campbell.{tab=New Business}New Business:

President McGuire had complaints from residents about the use of salt licks on private property and also the habit of some residents who push, or plow snow, into the public streets. A call to the Department of Wildlife (DOW) was made, and there is no prohibition concerning salt licks in the state, even though they usually draw deer which in turn draw mountain lions. However, the lions are here to stay and will continue to prey on deer whether or not there are salt licks, according to DOW.
Pushing or plowing snow into the roadway is against the law and there is a statute covering that. The first two offenses carry an increasing fine and the third carries a 3 day jail sentence.
With no further business to conduct, the meeting was adjourned at 1930 on a motion by Craig Ketels and a second by Fred Lanyon which was carried unanimously.
The next regularly scheduled meeting will be at 1900 on Monday, 10 May 2010 at the Tri Lakes Cares building,

The semi-annual newsletter will be completed by the end of this week, according to Editor David Weber. Several of the board members submitted articles for publication. Treasurer Bill Martin has an updated mailing list for residents on Red Rock Ranch and will assure that the Tri Lakes Printing personnel have a copy. He will also purchase postage stamps for mailing the newsletter and the return envelope enclosed for voluntary contributions. Director Craig Ketels volunteered to contact Tri Lakes Printing about printing the newsletter in a timely manner so it can hopefully be mailed by Wednesday or Thursday (17 March or 18 March 2010). Several members volunteered to stuff and stamp the envelopes at the Tri Lakes Fire station.
It was noted that the current RRRHOA covenants are due for renewal. According to article 24 of the covenants, renewal can be up to 20 years with the approval of an agreement of a majority of the lot owners in the subdivision. On a motion from Craig Ketels and a second by Jim Zalmanek, it was agreed by the board to extend the renewal period for ten years with the approval of a majority of lot owners, as stated in the covenants. A ballot for that approval will be included in the return envelope that will be mailed with the newsletter.
The RRRHA Board has become aware of a resident with chickens at his property and that resident has been approached first by a neighbor, and next about by Architectural Control Chairman Frank Chuba, which is in line with a written policy about resolving issues on the Ranch. The resident has been informed that he has a thirty day period to dispose of the chickens before action is taken.
Director Jim Zalmanek suggested that residents be given a choice to be part of a blind mailing list via the internet for urgent and/or time-sensitive messages, such as warnings from the police about potential con artists or suspicious burglaries in the area. At present they can go to the Association website that is kept up to date by webmaster Jase Campbell, but it was felt a faster method would be more helpful. Director Zalmanek said he would take the responsibility for that program and it will be a subject for the newsletter in six months.
With no further business to conduct, the meeting was adjourned at 2023 on a motion by Fred Lanyon and a second by Jim Zalmanek which was carried unanimously.
The next regularly scheduled meeting will be at 1900 on Monday, 12 April 2010 at the Tri Lakes Cares building, 235 Jefferson Street, Monument, Colorado.

President McGuire noted that weather conditions have prevented work on the tennis court at this time.
President McGuire did take the RRRHOA position paper regarding the proposed Dyad drilling to Commissioner Wayne Williams at the NEPCO (North El Paso Coalition of Community Associations) meeting and was told by Mr. Williams that he would like to wait on any action until a government permit is issued; otherwise, it will not be read. Mr. Williams did appear interested in the RRRHOA position, according to President McGuire.
Director Fred Lanyon gave an update on the proposed drilling which is on-hold at this time, probably because of funding problems. He discussed environmental impact statements and environmental assessment, noting that some work has been done in that area, but is now at a standstill. Information can be obtained at http://frerc.org . President McGuire will research this web site and discuss his findings with commissioner Williams.
