OLD BUSINESS

     

 *Road Repair Plan 2024

 

Done so far:

 

-Asphalt Repair: We have already accomplished a significant amount of maintenance.

As noted in last month’s notes, we repaired the large sinking patches near the bridge on Sarkisian on January 23.

 

-Clear/trim edge of pavement.We have cleared/trimmed the edges of the pavement on major stretches of both Sarkesian and Powe.

 

- We have cut back vegetation in several easements.

 

Still required:

 

- Trim edges.  Sandy remains to be cleared and the remainder of Powe and Sarkisian.

 

Further Asphalt Repair: 

 

- Several alligator patches on both Powe and Sarkisian. (Described in January minutes)

 

- Aquaphalt 6.0: Rick has researched a newer product called Aquaphalt 6.0, available through major retail outlets, including Ace Hardware. It is activated with water and easier to use in wet cold climates. Also may be easier to apply. The board agreed to try it on one patch to determine how well it would work for our needs.

 

 

 

 

Clearing/Cutting back Vegetation:

 

- Note this task includes disposing of limbs and bushes. The removal of the material is a major part of the job. In each case we must determine where we will put the material & how to haul it, before we start the work party.

 

- Some easements remain to be cleared including overhanging branches.

 

- Hedge along the beach path.

 

- Clear, maintain stairs to beach. It was noted by Jonathon that the steps are easily eroded, so careful work on this is required.

 

- Jonathon also notes that we would like to cut back some of the bushes/trees blocking the ocean and beach view to the south from our public viewing bench at the top of the stairway. We discussed the disposal of material for this task. Not easy to haul out.

 

- Work Parties. We will plan neighborhood work parties for the tasks above.

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

* The members acknowledged that they have reviewed and are cognizant of Public Contracting Laws.

 

* Vector Solutions Contractor to Provide all Training for SDAO.

 

Rick reported that Vector Solutions has been given the contract for all training provided and/or required by the Special Districts Association of Oregon. In the past we have each taken courses required for various matters, so this impacts us. It is not always easy to access the training and can be a time consuming task.

Rick reported the training site offered by Vector Solutions appears to be as time consuming as in the previous site, and possibly worse.

 

NEXT MEETING:

*March 14 @ TBD

 

ADJOUNMENT:

*6:30pm
