Master Plat Plan
Pat gave Kevin a C.D with a map of the community and trails. The board requested that a sample of the map be made in two sizes, one small and one large, and present them at the March meeting.

Possible Dog Park
John brought up the idea of the possibility of leasing the land south of Gateway for a dog park. He noted that this would have to be brought before the whole community to vote and approve, he wanted to get a feel from the board on the idea. The board felt it was something worth investigating.

Numbering Neighborhoods
At the request of Ed, Kevin obtained new prices for numbering the duplicate neighborhoods entry signs. The new cost is $1,481.27 from MGA. Ed brought up the reasons why this is something the board should do. The board asked Kevin to look into something that could go on the other side of the neighborhood name to balance the sign with numbering them, like a cactus.

Fire House
Pat said there is still an interest in locating a fire station in the community. The fire department may approach the board in the future.

Plant Replacement Policy
Pat talked about the issue of a plant replacement policy along SMD and in the entry’s. It is a problem due to the visibility issue to avoid accidents in which the county is looking into what needs to be done.

CD’s
Ed presented rates to invest the reserve funds into CD’s that he recommended. Ed made a motion to invest $100,000 into a 6 month CD, $100,000 into a 9 month CD, and $100,000 in a 1 year CD and the remainder in a money market fund all at Gold Canyon Bank, approved unanimously.

Playground
Kevin is looking into the cost and insurance ramifications.
