Welcome to the Official Surf Pines Web Site

The rural setting of Surf Pines, a gated community in Northwest Oregon, abounds in natural beauty for its residents and local wildlife, such as elk, deer, pheasants, sea gulls, and eagles. The purpose of this web site is to introduce Surf Pines to non-residents and to communicate news and activities to residents.

Surf Pines Association Organizational Meeting of the Board of Directors
 August 14, 2010, held at the Astoria Country Club

Present:  Directors- Burr Allegaert, Gheri Fouts, Jeff Hall,  Norma Keever, Brian Radditz;             Administrator - Dan Bartlett; Others – John Gates, Dave Lukens.
The meeting was called to order at 11:15 a.m. by Burr Allegaert. The agenda was unanimously approved.

Election of Officers
The newly elected Board discussed responsibilities of the positions, personal experiences related to these positions, and their individual schedules for the upcoming 12 months.  They then elected the following positions.

President; Burr Allegaert elected by a 5-0 vote (motion by Keever, second by Hall).

Vice President; Gheri Fouts elected by a 5-0 vote (motion by Radditz. Second by Hall).

Secretary; Jeff Hall elected by a 5-0 vote (motion by Radditz, second by Fouts).

Treasurer; Brian Radditz by a 5-0 vote (motion by Fouts, second by Allegaert).

Assistant Treasurer; Norma Keever by a 5-0 vote (motion by Allegaert, second by Hall). 

It was also agreed that Jeff Hall would serve as editor of the Breeze, and continue working toward a new Surf Pines Association website. 

Other Business
Ridgeline Development – Polo Ridge.   The previous Board became aware of a proposal to be presented at a Clatsop County Planning Commission meeting for significant expansion of the Ridgeline Development – Polo Ridge Estates.  Therefore an urgent decision was needed by the Board on about August 3, 2010.  Action was taken via email without a meeting as allowed under article 6.7 of the Surf Pines Bylaws.  A decision was made (on a 5-0 vote by Allegaert, Fouts, Hall, Lukens, Wilkin) to send a letter from the Board that rescinded approval of access to Surf Pines Lane for that development based on the material changes to original 9 lot proposal.  The current Board agreed to document that decision in these notes on a 3-0 vote (motion by Fouts, second by Hall, Keever and Radditz abstain). 

Accrual Method of Accounting.  The Board unanimously agreed to direct the Surf Pines bookkeeper to change to a full accrual method instead of a cash basis of accounting as recommended by a recent audit by CPA Dennis Conner. 

The Board also voted 5-0 (motion by Radditz, second by Fouts) to engage and pay for Dennis Conner, CPA, to do future tax filings. 

Finally, the Board unanimously agreed to continue holding their regular meetings on the third Monday of each month at 4:00 p.m., at the Surf Pines meeting house.  However, no meeting is planned for August, so the next meeting will be on September 20, 2010. 

The meeting was adjourned at 11:50 a.m.
Respectfully submitted, August 15, 2010.       Dave Lukens, former Secretary
