Summary of 2011 was given by Syd Huxtable
Road grading and maintenance
2011 is the first year we have had quarterly and better grading schedule.  Our roads are improving with each grading and we can see that improvements are lasting longer than in the past.  Mohave County has graded the main loops 5 times this year.  TLC has graded the 8.5 miles of tributary roads 4 times.  Lawman and Stagecoach were upgraded in March 2011. Rain damage was repaired in September.
TLC has been contracted to grade the tributry raods 4 times in 2012.  The Board of Directors has agreed to contract with TLC to do additional work to groom for drainage, recover fill and to make sure the crowns are correct on those tributary roads.  We plan to incorporate this work with 1st or 2nd quarter grading.
Discussion ensued regarding Mohave County taking over Lawman.
Insurance
Our insurance premiums have increased because of the 2 lawsuits.  Additionally, the insurance company has denied the POA coverage for "Breach of Contract".
Assessments
Assessments were held at the same level as previous year. The number of miles of roads we maintain has gone down, but the cost per mile went up because the contractor's costs have gone up.  We anticipated the need to pay a management company for a performance audit.
Lawsuits
Confidentiality agreements prohibits from discussing details of either case.
McAlpine vs. Lazy YU Ranch Phase II POA, Inc.
Court dates are set for March 8, 2012 and March 9, 2012 in Lake Havasu City, AZ

Some assessments have come in since the printing of the budget.  More was added to Legal to cover costs of a contract with a Management Co. for a performance audit & 6 months of consultation as part of an agreement.  Road Maintenance was increased to cover storm damage on the roads.
