Our annual meeting was called to order by President Don (Corsette) at 5:45 p.m.
All property owners were present except Carol Wyant (last 8). Bill and Donna Hogan did not attend.
The Secretary's report was given and approved.
At our last meeting we talked about possibly removing the cattle guard at our entrance. Mr. Hogan had suggested last year that we dedicate our road to the city. Costs were prohibitive. There was discussion about possible removal of the cattleguard due to ice and snow. It was decided to keep the cattleguard.
A question was asked how often the road needs chipsealing - about every five years. President Don noted that one of the pillars at the entrance was knocked over. It took quite a while but was repaired by thedriver's insurance.
Donna reported that the city would not put a white line on the entrance road. She also mentioned an upcoming project of about three million dollars ($3M) to make changes on Dry Creek Road. Discussion followed with the thought that at time of changes a white line can be painted on the road at the entrance.
Re: the sewer - Herb Martin had put in sewer lines to each property and that will need hook-up at the future time when sewer is connected.
It was mentioned that we could use two wooden arrow signs. Donna made a motion, seconded by Anna May, that if signs cost $100.00 or less to go ahead.
Also, we believe we need "Topkie Drive - Private" for left-hand side of Topkie. Don Corsette made a motion to see about this sign - seconded by Bob Uvegas. Passed. Bob Uvegas volunteered to check on signs.
Don said he would stay on as our President until he and Mildred move.
Our meeting was closed.
We all enjoyed delicious food and visiting.
