Entrada POA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes 2011
EPOA Board Meeting 14 August 2011
Present were: Chris, Phil Beverly, Brenda, Terry, Greg, Catherine, Pat, and Coleen.
Chris Opened the meeting at 7 P.M.
Minutes from the last meeting were approved as written.
Terry gave the financial report as presented by Vangarde.
Road Committee: Phil said they were waiting for the end of the Monsoon before scheduling any major
grading project.
Coleen discussed adding another small Road Maintenance Association to our numbers. They are
located East of Kolb Road and probably already use Kolb to access their property. The Kolb Road
lawsuit caused a previous arrangement to fail.
Phil told about negative experiences with home owners on the East side of Entrada, and suggested that
they form a committee to meet with the EPOA board.
Coleen will forward all information to President Joe on his return.
Question was asked, if our Association could foreclose on owners who are way behind on dues.
Coleen explained it is possible, but not advisable because of legal fees and liabilities involved.
Catherine bought a good supply of Power-Aid on sale at Fry's and will store it until the next Volunteer
road grading, saving money for the Road Committee.
Terry motioned to close the meeting, seconded and unanimous. Meeting closed.

Old Business:
Road Committee- Phil Bridgford
2 Y2 years ago a small group took over improvement of the roads. There had been a waste
of $60,000/year on road repairs. The committee has reconstructed 8 Y2 miles of road in 2
1;; years.$9,000 has been spent on culvert pipes, drainage and stabilization of the roads
has allowed water to travel from one side of the road to the other.
Before and after pictures of Wilmot & Mann Roads were presented to the members to show
improvements. Other projects included grading of private drives to avoid water runoff,
stabilizing roads, widening roads, instillation of 3. culverts on Kolb Rd, 2 on Wilmot
Rd, & construction an apron on Wilmot Rd. These projects required 45 days of work.
The Pima County inspector approved the work.
Future plans include:
Installation of culverts on Mann and Kolb Roads, stabilization of corrugated areas,
adding compactable materials, reconstruction of first mile of Mann, dozer to bring road
to a crown, consult contractor on dust abatement- product to add to water truck to help
stabilize the ground, grading side streets,
Volunteers are needed to help with the work; a sign in sheet is on the table. Public
Question or Comment (PQC)
Can culverts be placed on Kolb north of Camino Aurelia to change direction of water?
Answer (A) - Phil talked to state inspector, the state would need to do a water shed
study at our expense- aprox. $22,000. lOft extensions were placed that saved the road.
PQC- has the EP A made any comments?
A- They have looked at our website and stated we have a good program to keep the dust
down, have made suggestions for dust abatement. The major problem is drivers who exceed
the speed limit.
PQC-What can be done to slow driver down?
A- The installer of speed bumps and inverted speed bumps are liable for damages.
PQC- can an off duty sheriffs deputy be hired?
A- Cannot enforce speed limits on private property, can write "reckless
driving" tickets but only if witness speeding, hiring a patrol car to sit on
property cost approx. $100/hr. Suggestion: Call sheriff s dept to report speeders, call
businesses to report speeding delivery drivers.
PQC- Possible annexation with Sahuarita or Vail for police protection? Is this an option?
A-Vail does not have a police force.
PQC- I.there is a child waiting for the bus who needs to be covered with a blanket to
keep off the dust.
2. Thank you to all drivers who slow down for horses on the road.
Phil Bridgford extends a grateful thanks to all those who have helped with the road work
this past year.
Special thanks went out to Robert Tappe for his efforts, design and structural expertise
to keep the roads to County spec's (I was unable to write all the names of those Phil
wished to thank, please excuse me)
Help is needed from people who have experience in working with heavy equipment: grader
experience is needed to run the grader; a CDl, water truck experience and health
certificate is needed for the water truck; will train to run the roller.
A bid was obtained from Dave's Construction for $94,000. This does not include emergency
work after a monsoon rain. Other bids ranged from $130,000 to $150,000
PQC- is it possible to hire someone to help with the work?
A- Anyone hired must be licensed, bounded and insured for I million dollars, also if the
EPOA because an employer payroll takes, workman's comp would need to be paid. More
volunteers are needed to help coordinate workers, equipment, and divide the work.
PQC- a backup plan is needed for a time when there are no volunteers.
A- Money is being saved so that we can do extra work. Hiring an outside contractor is
always an option.
PQC- can we get someone to do the roads at the same price as it cost the volunteers?
A- The board and volunteers will not work on the roads if the members don't want then to.
Discussion of the road committee ended at 2015.
New Business:
1) Budget: proposed budget was sent to members
PQC- why can't the management company send out letters to members with an invoice to
make payments?
A- A letter will be sent after the annual meeting and approval of assessments with 4
slips for
payments and due dates.

The budget was not approved
The board will submit another budget to be voted on in a special meeting.
2) Changes to the CC&R's
The proposed changes that were mailedto the members were read. PQC- why are milk cows
prohibited?
A- They make too much noise if not milked at the proper time; also there is not enough
grazing space for milk cows.
Hogs are restricted unless for a 4H project.
PQC- by removing the R H zoning we would be regulated by Pima County Zoning.
PQC- Pigmy goats are the size of dogs but would fall into the restricted number of
livestock. A-the changes were based on a number of complaint related to the number of
animals on some properties.
