Discussion: Centered around cooperative effort with Coper Cove HOA to add our (RRCSD) driveway apron process document inserts with HOA’s packet and our intent to make driveway apron a requirement for new construction.
Vote on motion to defer to a later date. unanimously passed 5/0.
Update on paving projects for June Discussion: Mark noted 6 projects are completed, more precisely 5.5 as there are some delays due to staffing shortages and these associated invoices are completed. Curt spoke to Jim Wilson and paid invoices with additional work to be completed in late July.
Herbicide roadside spraying process.
Sheldon made a motion to add roadside spraying to the next meeting under new business.
Gary seconded the motion
Discussion: Gary reiterated his findings from a call with Jacob Lyle, Calaveras County of Public Works on July 8, 2025. Jacob had suggested community bulletin boards and doorknob flyers as their standard operations. But it is also affirmed that post office mailers are very costly and not as effective as many homeowners have vacation homes and sublets. We discussed ‘sandwich signs,’ which are physical roadway postings for all entry roadways in our district, Nextdoor social media and postings at community areas. It was further discussed that we can point/refer to our RRCSD website for the process for those that wish to opt out of roadside spraying.
Vote on motion to defer to subsequent board meeting, unanimously passed 5/0.
New Business
Survey regarding member requests for posting speed signs on Beaver Rd. The inclination of the board is not to take up this request at this time.
Special district risk management authority election letter.
Move to take up again. Maybe roll into a county election (ballot). Referenced the SDRM Board members Special District for board members for 9/22/25, Board did not take action on the letter.
Jim Wilson addressed drainage ditches on Buffalo street.
