OLD BUSINESS

*Culvert at Silver Sands

- PVC pipe was extended through the culvert beyond the north drain exit. We were unable to find end. Dye was used to help find the exit. Unsuccessful also.

-The board has approached Dan Hellin the project manager PacWave with respect to the construction at the north end of the culvert two years ago, possibly causing damage.

Ongoing discussions are now taking place with PacWave and Oregon State.

- Rick has also approached ODOT about responsibility for the culvert repair.

- Another neighbor who does not represent the board has also contacted ODOT.

- In summary, if we are responsible for the culvert/pavement sinking issue our options are:

         Remove culvert and replace for $10k. Bid from Gettis Inc., who will allow us to pay over time.

         Place a new culvert pipe above the existing one. Bid is less for this option.

         Fill in the pavement dip with road surfacing, leaving culvert undisturbed.

         Do nothing.

 

NEW BUSINESS

- It is time for the Spring road inspection by the board. We decided to put it off until we have better weather.

- We reviewed Public Contracting Laws in Oregon.

- A driveway permission request was made and approved, for a new homeowner on Sandy.

OLD BUSINESS

 

*Culvert at Silver Sands

-Determination of drainage exit on north end. Still no success. Plan this month to use long PVC pipe and then dye if needed.

-Possible financing depending on repairs needed.

-Rick has investigated a loan option. The previous loan was obtained from SDAO. This is no longer available. Rick contacted First Security Bank and has determined that we could obtain a loan from them for 3-5 years using the SSRD CD as collateral.

A second option is to pay over time. Gettis Inc. offers this option.

 

NEW BUSINESS

*Al Dexter approved to be on the SSRD Board of Directors by Lincoln County Board.

*Related to Culvert drainage.

-During the storms in Dec and Jan, both of the neighbors on Highway 101 reported to Rick that the road was flooding.

Both believe PacWave to be responsible for the drainage issue and the sinking of the pavement at Silver Sands entry.

-Rick contacted PacWave. Two people came out to inspect.
