Board Members Present, Todd Carlson, Ty Stewart, Vicki Burns, Sid Arola, Guy Whitlock and Bud Bower in person and Eli Allen by phone.
The minutes of the previous board meeting of July 2025 were approved as presented.
Officers Report:
Todd and others discussed the road and cattle guard updates coming soon. The county will be replacing two
Cattle guards on Co Rd 38 between mile marker 5 & 6 and the one at the entrance to the ranch just past mile marker 7. Notice has been posted on the website and on Facebook for members to be aware and potentially use Co Rd 70 to access the ranch during the week of 8/18/25. The perimeter fence will have to be re-set at the new cattle guard at the entrance of the ranch. The fence people will be contacted to take care of this as soon as possible so the work can be done in conjunction with the cattle guard replacement.
Getting another water tank was also discussed; there are a couple of options and between Todd & Bud they will get together and make plans to get another water tank on site and get it set.
The fence had a few trees on it a week ago and board members removed the trees, the fence on the west side was repaired by the fence people and there has been no new report of cows in the subdivision for the last two weeks. Maintenance is ongoing and board members will continue to check for trees & or other
Issues that need to be addressed. Ty will get some more wire and put it in the shed so that it is available when needed. The boundary with the forest is still dealing with the “virtual fence” issues with the cows.

All current board members are willing to continue to serve and the nominating committee has been advised.
Website issues continue to be a problem; original site was developed in the late 1990’s and is getting to the point of not being compatible with Microsoft platform. Board decided to investigate a more user friendly
Website for both the board and members.
New Business:
After discussion at the summer meeting regarding having an audit done for the association and reaching out to several CPA firms in the valley and the Denver area over the past month and a half, a CPA was contacted who has agreed to do an audit.

and the discussion regarding acquiring another tank for the ranch was mentioned,
the 2nd tank is available, it’s a matter of finding the time to get it to the ranch, ground
leveled for it and have it hooked into the current plumbing system to be able to get it filled.
This will be an ongoing project since it requires equipment & manpower to accomplish.
The tank is being given to the ranch, so no cost to the ranch for the tank.

driveway access to your let, its an easy process and the cost is only $100.00 to the land owner.

registered with the State of Colorado.
Policy regarding Collection of Assessments was adopted on 10/17/2013 as part of the By-laws.
Discussion: The President & Board Members responded to questions/comments regarding
several issues from several members. One comment dealt with having an audit ince the by-laws call for that to happen and there hadn’t been one for several years. The topic has been looked into and
several CPA firms had been contacted but none in the Craig area preform audits for
nonprofit organizations so the scope has been expanded to the Steamboat and Meeker areas hoping to find a firm that can get this done. Questions regarding several other topics were discussed and when the
temperatures got a little heated, for the sake of the rest of the members in attendance not involved in those
discussions and sensing the need to do so, the meeting was adjourned.
Note: The new business that was on the agenda regarding appointing a nominating
Committee did not get addressed; while needing to be addressed in the near future, the by-laws
do not stipulate that this had to happen at this meeting and it will be taken care of in the upcoming weeks.
Again, everyone is thanked for their participation and attendance. A big thank you to all who came early
helped set up and those who stayed after to take down canopies and tables and clean up the area.

Annual Fall Meeting Minutes

Pres. Elect Ty Stewart called meeting to order at 612 pm
Board Members Present: Ty Stewart, Bud Bower, Vicki Burns, Sid Arola,
Guy Whitlock.
Ty asked that each person sign the sign in sheet and provide the information requested.
Those present were asked to introduce themselves and mention the lot(s) they owned.
Ty asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the Annual Summer meeting July 6,2024; a motion was made and passed.
Ty then asked for three volunteers to count the ballots for the Director election results.
Volunteers will tally the votes and give the results to Ty later in the meeting.
Report from Officers:
President: Ty noted that several board members were absent due to family obligations.
Ty reported the water tank will be emptied in the next week or two. The lay down of the perimeter fence will be completed by month end. It was noted that the US Forest service is requesting assistance from the association with an upcoming fuels reduction project. Kevin Thompson is here to discuss the project and answer questions.
Guests: Marlin E. from the County building department reported the number of new and existing permits for cabin building in 2024 as well as gave an update on the permits that were pulled in 2023 where construction is ongoing. Marlin noted that he has been monitoring builds in the subdivision and insuring permits are pulled and inspections are taking place.
Kevin Thompson from the US Forest service discussed the upcoming fuels reduction project scheduled to begin summer of 2025 and potentially run through 2027.The project name is The Routt National Forests’ Bears Ears Reduction Project. Handouts were available for members wanted to review the paperwork later. The US Forest service will be working in conjunction with the Colorado Forest service personnel to achieve success in this project. The grant that was applied for in 2024 will again be resubmitted in the spring of 2025 for additional funding to accomplish the project.
Wilderness ranch land owners whose parcels border the national Forest will be contacted for possible access to the forest in areas where it is potentially impassable or dangerous to attempt fuel reduction strictly through the forest land. An access agreement will be entered into with those owners and will be forthcoming in the spring as well. This is a good project that will benefit the entire subdivision. It was noted that for approximately every 10’ of an area where fuel reduction has been achieved, gives owners in that area about 10 more minutes for evacuation when a wild fire is happening. It is only a matter of time as to when the forest has a major fire to deal with, it is not an “if” situation it is truly a “when”!
Sec. /Tres. Report –
Vicki reported that to date there are 326 land owners that have paid dues for 2024.That equates to 382 lots.
This is largest number of paid members. It was also mentioned that this time of the year owners are stopping in almost daily now with hunting seasons here to pay dues, get cards.
The operating account balance is $46,371.34 and the Legal fund balance is $10,312.97.
It was asked that when paying dues, please clarify the specific address you wish cards mailed to as several owners have multiple addresses. Addresses are taken from the assessor’s office records each year and if your home address is listed but you receive mail at a PO Box, this will result in double mailing and ad elay in your cards getting to you.
Old Business:
As previously mentioned, the Forest Service field office in Steamboat (Co. Forest service personnel) will be in touch between late October & November to preview potential areas for forest access for the upcoming
Fuels reduction project planning.
The issue of many cows being in the subdivision this summer was brought up and we were advised that the Forest service has been working on their fencing and have this year implemented a virtual fence in preparation for the fuel’s reduction project. What this means to ranch owners is that the actual fence was either removed or in such bad condition it did not prevent the ranchers’ cows grazing in the forest with a grazing permit from entering the ranch property. Some cows had the collars/tags on them but not all.
The board has asked for a meeting with the Forest service & the rancher to further discuss the issue.
When more info is available it will be posted on the website,
New Business:

Eli Allen and Ty Stewart by phone. Guy Whitlock absent.
Minutes of the previous board meeting of May 4, 2024, were approved as presented.
President Report: Todd discussed the need for emptying the water storage tank as late as possible since we are still having very warm days, and the ranch is very dry. Eli & Ty both said they work on it and will coordinate the project and get it done in the next few weeks.
Fence project update: Bid was received from Smith Fencing contractor we have been using for the past few
years, labor to remove & replace one mile of lay-down fencing is $6864.00 Material cost are
approximately $12,000.00 which the ranch supplies. This does not include clearing the right of way.
After discussion was held, it was decided to contact Smith and coordinate the project for next Spring/Summer. The area of fence to be replaced will be decided at that time.
Sec. /Tres. Report –
Vicki reported to date there were 380 lot dues paid. That equates to 324 owners.
One owner has paid for 2025 dues.
General operating a/c balance as of Sept. 30th balanced bank statement is $46,371.34,
The legal a/c balance as of Sept. 30th is $10,312.97.
Status letter requests since the July meeting has generated $225.00 in non-dues revenue. For those not
familiar, a status letter is requested by the title companies when a lot is being sold to determine if
the current years dues have been paid by the owner/seller, the title company then prorates the dues

Association.
Old Business:
Follow up on lay-down fence being laid down for the winter; Eli will contact fencing people as well as other board members contacting adjoining ranchers to coordinate getting the fence put down.
Fire management grant process update: there is no new information to share at this time.
Website update: We are working to make the website more user-friendly and have the ability to get things posted more easily. Will keep working on this and report back.
New Business: The following individuals have been incited to the Fall Membership meeting:
KC Hume- Mo Co Sheriff, Todd Wheeler- MoCo Fire Management officer, Dan Martin- MoCo Road dept.
Supervisor, Marlin Echoff- MoCo Building dept., still trying to contact someone from Div of Wildlife
and the Forest Service to attend.
Todd & others to talk to Forest Service regarding the fence line between the ranch & the forest land,
It is our understanding that whoever leases the forest ground for grazing is responsible for maintaining the fence. It is painfully obvious that no one has done so for many years. The number of cows coming into the ranch from the forest is not acceptable. The tracking collar program while in its trail period is not working.
Todd will check on having a meeting with the forest service personnel to address the issues of the cows and the fence.
There being no other business to come before the board, the meeting was adjourned at 7:59 pm.

No other old business was brought forward.
New Business:
In depth discussion was held regarding the fencing project for this summer, several board members will
be contacting the adjoining ranch owners to get cooperation with the expense of putting up new fencing
for approximately another mile. The idea of the ranchers sharing in the expense by in-kind work or
providing labor or equipment/operator use was discussed and will be shared with the owners.
Either an email, phone call or letter will go out to the lot owners whose lots are bordered by the fence that will be worked on this summer. It was suggested to advise the owners that an area of 20’ will be cleared on both sides of the fence line for better access and fire mitigation.
Todd dropped off pipe tubing for fence repairs and some is also coming from Montgomery Livestock Co,
These materials will be stored at Eli’s property. Ty is ordering the fence wire, stays and T-posts so all materials will be available when the fence is put back up and when the fence replacement project begins.
Bids will be requested from several companies before the job is given out. As of today, estimates for one mile of fence replacement is approximately $30,000.00. The board is working to keep that cost down by
Members volunteering time and potential equipment use.
The issue of fencing responsibility with adjoining owners was discussed at length and several board members will be contacting The Forest Service office, the local BLM office, The State land board office & NRCS office to discuss shared cost of the expense of fence maintenance and replacement with each of these entities.
It was discussed and a motion was made that once the legal fund balance reaches $10,000.00 to start accruing $100.00 monthly for a contingency or emergency fund for future expenses, these funds could also be used for legal fees if needed.

There have been issues with parking at the snowmobile parking lot, signage does not seem to be the way to clear up the problems. Vehicles being left for very extended periods of time, parking as to not allow for
Others to park or get around vehicles parked. Not sure what can be done but hopefully people will start being more conscientious about how they park and be polite in doing so.
