Soil erosion has filled the drainage ditch in this area over the years and will create run-off across Friendly Meadow during the coming monsoons. The cost of this project is $2,837. Work should completed during May of 2017.

Repair of Cowboy Trail and other Distressed Roads
In February 2017, the Board recognized that the repair of Cowboy Trail was a top priority for the community. The Board explored funding options at the March and May 2017 meetings. The Board will charter a team to look at different options for repairing Cowboy Trail, given the limited funds the Board has to work with. Developments will be contained in the monthly meeting minutes.

A team charter was written and approved by the team members. The team met on December 19, 2017, January 16, 2018 and January 26, 2018. Road repairs for 2018 were identified and marked throughout the community. 18 contractors were called, appointments made to review scope of work, and bids to be secured. Of the 18 contractors called, the Team expects 6-8 bids for the work. Team members met with those contractors that showed interest in the work, and so far most are recommending similar repairs. Bids are expected during the month of February. Prioritized work is as follows:
- Cowboy Trail – starting from the end of the “good” section, north 0.50 mile to the intersection of Friendly Meadow Rd. Repair pothole and road damage. Level high/low areas. Top coat as specified by the contractor. Some recommend chip-seal, most recommend hot asphalt.... which is 2 x the cost of chip seal. 6/2/18 update: The Board expects the work being done on Cowboy Trail to be completed by June 7-8.
