Board Present: Jim Schrumpf – President, Don Pratt – Vice President, Amy Barber – Secretary,
Scott Silver – Treasurer
Division Representatives present: Bill Barber, Bob Cox, Jim Burke, Hal Martin, and Rich

Meeting was called to order at 10:04 am. Board and those in attendance introduced themselves
and stated the divisions in which they live.
The minutes from the spring membership meeting were handed out and individually reviewed.
A motion was made by Jeff Lovely and seconded by Chuck Rabura to accept the minutes as they
were distributed. The vote to accept was unanimous.
Officer Reports:
President:
Jim Schrumpf began with opening remarks, which included:
 A thanks and to all in attendance for the meeting and to those who attended our work
party and the pool opening and barbeque.
 A Memorial Day remembrance of Bob Denomy and Jerry Davis, two TCA members who
have recently passed as well as to all veterans and those who are currently serving in
the military.
Treasurer:
Scott Silver, treasurer, presented a copy of the balance sheet. He reported that the finances are
in good shape. Our annual budget is $65,000. We have collected $51,000 to date. We still have
30 to 40 members who have not yet submitted dues and Scott will send another reminder
mailing to all. A big thanks goes out to Scott and Debbie Neitzel, our bookkeeper, for all the hard
work ensuring that TCA remains financially solid.
Continuing Projects:
Community Center and Grounds.
Lighting for the Community Center kitchen area is still a work in progress. It has been decided to
install low voltage track lighting that will be on a separate circuit and include a dimmer. Scott
Silver recommended that we have a carpenter install soffits over the cabinets so that the LED
lights can be hung above the stove and sink area and a track system with adjustable LED lights
over the work bar. Jeff Lovely asked for a budget. Scott felt that all this work could be
completed for under $1,000.00. Jeff Lovely made a motion to accept this budget item and Mark
Metsker seconded the motion. The vote for a lighting budget was unanimously accepted.
We have not completed the search for a security camera system. Before we can finalize the
choice, we must address the Internet Router/Booster needed for the Community Center. The
router should not be a separate one from the pool or the security system would have to run on
two different communications systems. The purchase of an overhead projector for the
Community Center is also incomplete. We hope to wire and mount the device this summer. The
projector could be used for movies, etc.
Two benches have arrived! One will be placed near the play toy and other will be placed near
the tennis courts.
Pool
The pool is looking great thanks to Kim and Paul. Concrete that was lifting up has been replaced
and the heat pump is working; thanks Don Pratt. Copies of the pool rules are available. The
board approved the moving of a water line that is too close to electrical wires. Once the water
line is moved, a simple outdoor shower will be installed for easy rinsing before entering the
pool. Wristbands are now available. Kim also has a petition that can be signed to convince
Century Link to improve our service.

Cover over the Community Center door: Randall woods gave an estimate to build an alline roof over the door. The window above would need to be removed to allow for the
appropriate angle. The bid was $4200.00. Hal Martin suggested we consider an awning
similar to the one at Blantons. The Board will look into it.
Repair the Community Center door: Steve Fohn will take the lead on this project.
Suggestion of lighting for the tennis court. The members present said no to this idea.
The amount of summer daylight is adequate. Additional lighting might be bothersome
to nearby resident.
Suggestion for disc golf holes: this would be fine if someone is willing to take on the
project. Each post costs approximately $160.00
New TCA sign: Amy Barber will look into bids to present at the Fall Membership Meeting
Guidelines for rental/vacation units. Jim would like to see us create guidelines for
homeowners and renters. Rich Welfringer shared a sheet that Summit uses. The board
will research guidelines from other homeowner associations.
New officers and division reps will be voted in at the September Membership meeting.
Don Pratt will donate a microwave to the Community Center
Pat Dyhrman wanted to get the word out about a 4th of July fun run fundraiser in
Federal Way to benefit Mesothelioma. Her husband, Dick, died of the disease.

John Anderson, High Valley resident, joined our meeting. He was very impressed with
the congeniality of the members and the well-run meeting. He is asking for support of
his No Shooting Zone petition. Currently, shooting is legal on forestlands that are right
next to private homes. John is collecting signatures so Lewis County will add an
additional 1000 feet of the No Shooting Zone as a buffer between the two. This petition
is also at the pool if you wish to sign your name.
Remember that this summer will bring with it a high fire danger. Kim Hanson will look
into the possibility of getting fire hydrants in Lower Timberline.
Jim Schrumpf adjourned the meeting at 11:05am
Respectfully submitted,
Amy Barber, TCA Secretary
