RHHA President (Don) proposed to send them out via US Mail paid postage versus leaving them on the door. Motion passed and seconded. RHHA Vice President note, since the meeting was unable to establish a quorum, all those NOT IN FAVOR of using RHHA funds, please email your vote to the RHHA Board members.<\/p>\n<p>n\u00a0 RHHA Treasurer identified that she did not have the address of Mike Gilepsie (house next to John Latuperissa and John\/Tammi Messino) . \u00a0We need to get their address to send the RHHA annual dues bill (John Latuperissa take lead on this)<\/p>\n<p>n\u00a0 Status on pier from Don: first of the year (2011), Don corresponded via USPS mail to our \u00a0attorneys numerous times with no success but after corresponding with Ben\u2019s boss, he received a prompt reply from the law firm. Don told the attorneys that he believed that RHHA did not need to pay to have a new pier engineering plat drawn up. The attorney then stated that it might be in our best interest to have a certified engineer redraw our Rhode Harbor pier plat up. Don identified that the most recent plat was drawn in 1981. Don had spoken with a commercial engineer (McCrone:<u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mccrone-inc.com\/\">http:\/\/www.mccrone-inc.com\/<\/a><\/u>) to redraw our plat and stated it will cost \u00bd of what we are paying our current attorney. Don stated we will not need an attorney anymore if we choose to move our pier project to the engineer\u00a0 (McCrone Survey and Engineering Firm). So everything is in on hold until we meet with McCrone Inc. This will require a vote, so please be on the lookout from our RHHA Secretary or myself (RHHA VP John Latuperissa) for an email that will require your YES or NO vote.<\/p>\n<p>n\u00a0 Don will be speaking wth McCrone, Wednesday the 16th of March, to discuss meeting date and particulars.<\/p>\n<p>n\u00a0 Don discussed potential options on the future size of our pier, in terms of how many slips we may or may not be authorized to construct. The crux will be how the county measures the pier across the river. If they measure straight across, that will be bad for us allowing for only the minimum amount of slips, but if they measure the way the pier is currently and has always been oriented, then we should be able to build a large number of piers.<\/p>\n<p>n\u00a0 Don (RHHA President) stated he will be gone on vacation the 29th of March and forward two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>n\u00a0 Propose May 14th (Saturday) for another RHHA community yard sale<\/p>\n<p>n\u00a0 Jo presented a formal RHHA Community Sign and Tree\/Flower project that included custom drawn CAD renditions of our current planter and sign. In it, her proposal includes<\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0\u00a0 Removing existing trees behind sign planter<\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0\u00a0 Replace above trees with Star Magnolia Trees <strong>(send out via email for a vote)<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\no\u00a0\u00a0 Plant flowering perennials (Tiger Lillies) <strong>(send out via email for a vote)<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\no\u00a0\u00a0 Keep existing border plant<\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0\u00a0 Regravel as needed<\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0\u00a0 Need to ensure that we purchase new trees that are high enough to breach the highest point of the sign.<\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0\u00a0 Decision was made to powerwash the existing RHHA community sign, and if it deteriorates from the power wash, we will send out options to replace the sign via email for a vote. Don stated that he has a powerwasher that can be used to powerwash the current sign.<\/p>\n<p>n\u00a0 Discussion had taken place on the possibility of replacing the current sign. Joe Z. brought up the fact that we may need a county permit to fix, upgrade or completely replace the sign. Another point was brought forward that we may be better off looking for volunteers within the RHHA community to use their own tools and supplies to build a new sign.
