The July DPMC Community Meeting was held at Lake Tapps Fire Station Training Room located across from the Chevron at Forrest Canyon Drive and called to order by President Toni Jilek at 7:05 PM.

ATTENDANCE:
Attendees included President Toni Jilek, Vice President Joe Muscarnera, Treasurer Ron Wilderman, Secretary Bob Lee, Ann Beurskens and Devin Graham. 

Community Members in attendance: Past President Chuck Romeo, Don and Ann Fisher, Stan Baber, Dorothy Muoio, Karen Sargent and Bob Jilek.

APPROVAL OF June 13, 2005 MINUTES
The first order of business by your Board was the reading of the June 13, 2005 minutes. At the conclusion, the board unanimously approved the minutes.

TREASURER’S REPORT:
Treasurer Ron Wilderman presented a detailed accounting ledger produced from our Quick Books financial tracking software.  In addition, Ron provided a comprehensive monthly report, which enables us to monitor more closely our seasonal budget expenditures. Our fiscal 2005/2006 operating budget as of June 30, 2005 had deposits on hand of $59,602.36

We paid down the outstanding loan by $11,000.  Although at the June 13^th Board meeting it had been approved to pay down the dept by $13,000.00 it was quickly discovered that we could not exceed our 2005/2006 budget expenditures without approval from the community.  Therefore, we adjusted the payment down to $11K.

COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT:
No report

FIVE YEAR PLAN COMMITTEE REPORT:
A “Community Enhancement Plan” survey has been developed in order to prioritize what is important to community members over the next several years.  After some discussion it was suggested we put the survey on our community web page and include it in our next quarterly newsletter.  Bob Lee will work with Don Fisher to ensure it gets placed on the web site.  In addition, Bob Lee will develop a time line and set a date where all the data can be collated and the next phase of determining cost can begin.

SECURITY COMMITTEE REPORT:
No report

PARK COMMITTEE REPORT:
No report

FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT:
Ron Wilderman and Joe Muscarnera expressed an interest in developing a process for addressing delinquent membership dues.  After much discussion it was recommended that this topic go back to the Finance Committee for further development.  The Board is concerned with those community members who have failed to stay current with their membership dues.  The pending new process will ensure delinquent dues are sent to a collection agency.

OLD BUSINESS

1.                  Income Tax Audit Update:

Our fiscal Federal filings are due July 15, 2005.  The Board agreed to ask for an extension in order to ensure all proofs of compliance are found, assembled and sent. 

2.         Bulletin Board for e-mails:

This has been established on our community web site and has been utilized by several community members. 

3.         Boat Management:

Community members expressed concern over the continued rafting of boats at the North Cove of Driftwood Point.  One member stated the County Marine Patrol Officers had been advising rafters that they would not enforce the new ordinance until 2006.  Bob Lee volunteered to find out more information on the sheriff’s enforcement strategy.  

4.                  Newsletter Advertising:

Several community members have expressed interest in advertising items “For Sale” in the quarterly newsletter publication.  After some discussion it was decided that this would not be in the best interest of our community members. 

5.         Septic Drain Field:

Our septic drain field was inspected and found to be working as designed. 

NEW BUSINESS:

1.            Removal of Trees at Park:

Joe Muscarnera has made a recommendation that five to six trees be professionally removed from the park.  The trees in question are situated around our restroom facility and septic drain field.  It is believed they could potentially cause problems for our drain field and more frequent repairs of our restroom facility roof.  Several Board members wanted to take a look prior to making any final determination on tree removal. 

2.   Grandview Ridge:

Last month, under open discussion, it was discussed that Grand View Ridge community members had expressed an interest in joining Driftwood Point.  Bob Lee volunteered to meet with several Grandview Ridge residents and list both the Pros and Cons of adding 34 property owners to our community.  

OPEN DISCUSSION:

Ron Wilderman requested that we begin looking at the future rotation of trustees.  Currently our By-Laws mandates that the Board of Trustee members serves only a two-year term. Vice President Joe Muscarnera recommended we re-institute a By-Laws Committee to look at this issue and several others.  Community members Stan Baber, Karen Sargent and Ann Beurskens agreed to sit on the committee with Joe.

Meeting adjourned at 8:32 PM
