  Minutes of the September 15th meeting were accepted as written, with one correction by Mike Patti.
Old Business:  Paul Pogozelski, Facilities Manager:  On Bulk Garbage Day, 15 containers were filled. Road paving on Deerfield to Westwood and Ridgeview Drive will be done this year. Lakeview Drive East is scheduled to be done next year when construction in the area will be finished.  Grading and scalping sides of the roads is continuing.
  The walkway around Roamingwood Lake will be completed in sections simultaneous with the paving program. A walkway over the dam is scheduled as well. All paving work is being coordinated with RS&W projects.
  Crossover culvert pipe installations on Lakeview Drive East will also be completed next year.
  Emergency lights at the RSC will be checked for depleted batteries.
Paul Taggart, Environmental Asset Manager:  Sterile carp are scheduled to be introduced into Deerfield Lake in two weeks for weed control. As a last resort, we may consider cutting the weeds in Deerfield Lake.
  Princeton Hydro is conducting a fish survey at Deerfield and Brooks Lakes today.
  The Clean-Flow systems at Brooks and Deerfield Lakes are being upgraded.
Sediment removal at Roamingwood Lake will begin shortly, weather permitting.
Five islands are scheduled to be installed on Roamingwood Lake sometime next year.
Ralph Graf, Community Manager:
Roamingwood Dam: the contractor has been making concrete on-site. This is a highly technical process and requires daily concrete consistency tests by an independent lab.
  The Committee requested a field trip to the construction site. The tentative date is 10/28 at 10 a.m., pending approval.
  A capital budget of one million dollars has been requested in the 2011 budget.
Funding for an entrance sign for the North Gate will be requested as well.
  A concept plan for Getaway and Roamingwood Parks is being developed. These are underutilized areas.
  We will probably need to spray for caterpillars by helicopter. This will create an additional $80,000 cost.
  The ski area is scheduled for changes to the point of service area. The new area will be built at the garage. This will alleviate crowding at the lodge for skiers who wish to rent skis and equipment.
Snowcats will be refurbished with the cost to be offset by the sale of equipment no longer in use.
The liability insurance policy for the ski area will hopefully be rolled into the general liability policy, resulting in some monetary savings.
The on-going negotiations with Hamlin and Honesdale Ambulance services
should be completed this month. The result may be an agreement to have
Hamlin Ambulance submit its bills to clients, with Honesdale possibly sharing
the proceeds. All P.O.A. members are urged to support Hamlin Ambulance
Service.
Stock Farm Road entrance bid requests will go out shortly to prospective
contractors. The type of entrance controls (if any) will be a Board decision.
Bill Brenner , Board Liaison, stated:
Bar-code readers for the new Stock Farm entrance are not recommended in
northern climates due to snow and ice obscuring the bar-code on car windows.
Board Liaison plans for 2011 have not yet been formalized.
  Replacement of trees at home construction sites: The E.C.C. has no monitoring process at this time.  Enforcement of this rule is being discussed at the E.C.C. meeting.
  Deer population at the Hideout continues to be a problem. PLEASE DO NOT FEED
THE DEER!  For information, please go to www.pgc.state.pa.us
New Business:  By unanimous vote, the Committee authorized Chairman Michael Krakow to submit a C.M.R. requesting that Bill Brenner remain our Board Liaison.
All observation reports for 2010 have been submitted. The Committee requests  that all Board members receive a copy of these reports.
  Bill Brenner introduced a spreadsheet for use with the observation reports.  This will help monitor items on the list, as well as alert other departments of items that may not be maintenance-related.
  By consensus, this will be our last formal meeting for 2010. Our next meeting will be April 13, 2011.  Have a warm and safe winter!
  The meeting was adjourned at 12:15p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Al Weinberg, Interim Secretary
