My take is the following: Lynne needs to be removed from the board ASAP. She is completely toxic to MIR. Anita needs to be off the executive team - but could still be a good board member. Bollman should be treasurer - because he is really good at it, and nobody else wants to do it. My idea for a new exec team: President: Ron Sims VP: Zan Oliphant or Chris Sims or Bill S. Treasurer: Mark Bollman Secretary: Patty Just my idea. But, if nothing else Lynne needs to go ASAP. She is destroying MIR.

Anyhow, I had a good talk with Bill S yesterday. He is working on a bridge project. Earl is a good man, and working on another bridge project. I’m working on a loan for 500K or so - picking up where Julia left off. For starters, I’m working on removing BLK from the board. I had the votes at one point, but then Cameron freaked out on me cause BLK got to him. I’m the bad guy for locking G section gate. Note: the gate is now locked open by some guy named RJ. It may be good to get Chris Sims involved at this point to apply some legal pressure for removal of BLK.

Youve all read Bylaw 4.5 so you know the process including ten days written notice and two-thirds vote by fellow board members. There is no provision for community members to impeach one of us and no obligation for anyone to resign even if half of us dont like his/her behavior. So everybody please knock it off and get back to work! You need to fire back at Mark B and Lynn that they need to be removed from the board and how we wouldnt be having any dicussion about this if they would have acted and led the board to fix the problem instead of obstructing all efforts to correct it! Mark and lynn are 2 peas in a pod! the fact is some of the board was never included in emails on this because mark and lynn dont trust the board members and have not given you guys all the info available I am on my way up now. -Julia On Mar 10, 2014 7:32 AM, Mark Bollman wrote: Thanks, Zan.

Index Reverse Notification Mark Bollman, I need the following from you pronto: Financial Statements - Include financial statements for the last two fiscal years and a current balance sheet.” Just do the best that you can. I need to prove that we can pay for this loan. I’m going for 500K. I’m meeting with Darla this week. Heres a printer-friendly edition of the names, addresses, parcel numbers for the 430 MIR owners without all the financial garbage many of you dont care to mess with. All of this is public record on the countys web site so please feel free to share with all your friends and neighbors. I ccd Melissa Bailey here because she has made it her mission to solicit email addresses and phone numbers for us to add to our master database. Please encourage all your friends and neighbors to email Mel if they want me to add an email address or phone number field. You are all free to do whatever you want with your copy of this file but keep in mind it will be obsolete by tomorrow or next week so stay tuned for updated editions as owners move, buy, sell, consolidate, etc. *Mark Bollman Attached in Excel is the latest edition of MIRCCs list of 430 property owners to be invoiced for regular assessments in 2014. You all voted for a goal of $150,000 but it rounded up to $153,458 so I need you all to send me a YES vote to approve the 2014 assessments per the attached Excel worksheet before I can send it to the bookkeeper. Julia = $402.70 Jim = $522.18 Mark = $646.51 Cameron = $471.23 Tom = $460.19 Patty = $258.29 Gary = $259.78 Lynne = $524.28 Dave = $733.54 Zan = $359.25 Phil = $549.49 Anita = $289.37 Earl = $316.28 Note: I still have one more question to ask the bookkeeper about a certain side road invoice which might lower two of you a couple dollars but everything else is perfect. OK? I vote yes for the updated assessment. Phil Patty says Yes! I vote yes jim blair an votes yes on this. Thank you Mark! We are going to build that bridge. Wood or metal is fine with me. I promise to quit trying to fire board members if they quit trying to fire me. —Z I vote YES. Gary Hubbard Sent from my iPad I vote Yes Anita Yes -Julia On Saturday the 22nd we hope to hear from Zan the Loan Committee Chair one of two reports: Yes, a bank will consider loaning MIRCC money. or No, a commercial bank has refused us so we can proceed with USDA loan program. I believe that is the mission of the loan committee; please let me know if I misunderstood the boards expectations. Mark Bollman Ron Sims and Bill Stehl have both expressed interest in seeing MIRCC seek loan funds so I hope you have invited them to assist with your committees efforts too. Mark Bollman Our contractor will be dropping off some material for pot holes this morning. They will be distributed along the road. All we need now is some help getting the pot holes filled. I see some people have been doing it with just dirt. well here is the opportunity to do it with some real stuff. Tom Yes, I spoke with Mr Fagin and he is more than willing to provide power for lighting. Thanks Ron. Cameron.

Gary, I agree that the intent of the emergency transfer was simply to enable the checking account. Sure, we can spend discretionary community money on road emergency if we want to but we have to be careful going the other way. Judge ordered us to account for non-road things separately so thats why we had to set up the special bank account. Just need to be sure we put some money back in that special bank account if we need to pay for something non-road.

Mark Bollman My opinion is that we are mostly going through dave faigins property with the trail. We need to make sure that he is 100% okay with it. As one of the resident moms on the board, I want to make sure that we are thinking about safety. That waterfall is ragin right now and that is not a very safe location for ATVs. I would say it could be charged to slide work. I also want volunteers to step up and help out for free. Sign me up to help. -Julia Ten straight days of 2 trackhoes and 3 minimum dumptrucks would clear that lot down level with the roadway. Ive seen it before in Alaska and Canada. Jim Blair h yeah, Finance committee is using Facebook to run our operation. It’s just quicker. This is our page: https://facebook/groups/742071052484127/ We need some numbers on land slide work. The bridge work is easier to estimate. Can someone put some dollar figures on slide work based on the geo report? That would be super helpful. —Z Hi Earl, If that is a motion, Zan votes to go for it. We have some cash, money is coming in, and the finance committee is working on a 500K loan. MIR folks need to see the board working for them. I was up there talking to Hoppy and Tom about this. Let’s just do it. I was just talking with Elizabeth about the bridge project. We need quotes for our loan package ASAP. The wood bridge company will be here on Thursday for design work. But, my gut feeling is that the steel bridge will be a quicker solution. Christopher Russek is co-chair of the finance committee, and has hit the ground running. He talked to that John guy from the county for at least an hour today. The county is now working with us on fast-tracking permits and easements. We were doing a poor job of communicating with them. They really didn’t know what was going on. Those days are over. Cheers, —Zan Board there may be a way to build an ATV trail up past the switch back to allow people to use ATVs plus emergency rescue from the fire department and PUD access by ATV to the east side of the slide. The issue is we may be going on the river side of Dave Faigins property and there may be DNR Land Daves Land and some other property owner land to build the ATV trail on. We would need temporary easements. If this were the case would we use MIR Road funds to do this? Would we hire our road contracted to use a small excavator to build the trail? Should this be a community effort only with funds donated by the community to do this? What legal issues will this create? Im thinking on this myself and wanted to give you a heads up because I think it will come up before noon tomorrow so start thinking now. My gut says maybe we should consider doing this but at this time Im undecided. Im thinking that the community is going to expect us to do this with MIR funds, and it is going to be very unsettling with the community if we dont. Right now and Im just guessing this could cost $2 to $3 thousand. Im estimating about $2,000 today to get the road open for walking and PUD trucks to conner 1, and we have some more water management to do tomorrow plus a load of asphalt chips for pot holes west of the slide, which could be another $2,000. Earl Van Buskirk That just might be a fine idea but were getting the cart before the horse and theres no fire here. We usually try to reserve e-motions for truly urgent matters and making the bank transfer or not is the least of our troubles. Enough to say we wont get around to it until we need the money to pay bills or decide to build a trail. Meanwhile, when someone works out the details of a trail-spending proposal, whose land, permission, cost, etc. please let me know and if it cant wait until our next meeting lets consider making a specific e-motion then. Fair enough?
