Open Forum:  Gauthier’s approached KHHA to place dumpsters, trash and recycling, at the condos located on North Rd.  To be discussed at the next meeting.  Concerns included: size, small animals getting into dumpsters, odors, and environmental appearance.  This would need to be submitted to the environmental committee for approval.

Secretary: The minutes for the December board meeting were tabled for review by the BOD. Review to be completed prior to the February meeting. 

Treasurer: The treasurer's report for December was read and accepted. Dues were paid in full on two delinquent properties.

Roads: We have asked Loukos to put more sand on the roads but please drive carefully in winter driving conditions.  Snow banks have been pushed back.

The Board is still assessing when tree cutting on Birch Ridge can be scheduled.  We will look into the price of renting a chipper to deal with the wood that is cut down.

The board is investigating hiring an experienced road expert to look at the intersection of Birch Ridge and Forest Lane and generate suggestions on how to make the intersection safer.  Priority for road improvements in 2015 is Birch Ridge Rd.

Trails:   The trails are in good shape.  Some trail clearing was performed after the heavy snow fall.  Ann has trail head signs.  One activity mentioned for the spring time was the repair of a bridge on the red trail.   

KHHA Handbook: A draft copy of the handbook/directory was sent to board members and work is being done on a final draft.  Anne to draft a form for homeowners to fill out for their contact information to put in the handbook and keep on file. An updated map of KHHA will be incorporated into the handbook.

Covenant Committee:  The committee members have been sent a copy of the covenants to study.  No feedback from members to date.  Suggestion made to start with reviewing covenants for grammar, spelling, etc.

Secretary Role: Eric Johnson nominated Janice Edler for the secretary position; Seconded by Jim Nichols.  Janice accepted the position.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 pm.  The next meeting will be on February 9th at 7:15 in the lower Westford Town office.
