		Greg Reider – insurance:  He passed out copies of both Liability Policies and Directors Liability.  Comments were made that Elliot Insurance Agency had been good to work with.

		Ken Whitmire:  Reported on discussions with Clyde Friend as requested.  Friend does not want to bid on the fall grading.

Discussions were amiable but he was firm in not bidding at this time.

 		Bill Thompson:  Also talked extensively with Clyde Friend.  He had discussed snow removal with other contractors.

		Judy Johnson reported:  She paid the Annual Meeting room bill and discussed record keeping of Assessment Payment records.

	 	Greg reported a contact with DPR Contracting, Scott St.John, about bidding on snow removal.  A map is needed before he can bid.  Richard is working on a map of the roads that are Phase responsibility to maintain.  It was pointed out that a snow removal map would differ from a general road maintenance map.

		It was discussed, moved, and passed that approval for snow removal be done, details via e-mail; approval by phone.  The same for fall road grading and gravel.  Motions passed.  It was moved and seconded and passed to hire an auto company to remove a discarded engine from Lincoln (one of our roads).  Clyde Friend had previously brought this to the Boards attention and reminded them again.

		Several member attendees in the audience spoke during the meeting.  The next meeting was set for Thursday, December 7, 2006 at 6:30 P.M.  The meeting was adjourned at 8:55 P.M.
