Missouri River and Eagle Canyon Ranches
Landowners’ Corporation
Annual road maintenance has begun. There is an increase in road traffic from the grader working the roads, dump trucks hauling gravel for the road base, asphalt milling work scheduled for the Rocky road entrance, and concrete bridge work scheduled for later this summer.
PLEASE – Reduce your speed in and out of the ranches and watch for large vehicles on the roadway.
Welcome to the Missouri River and Eagle Canyon Ranches Landowners Corporation (LOC) website!
In the summer of 2022, the Board of Directors (Board) unanimously voted to engage the services of Innovative Solutions Group out of Helena (https://inovativhosting.com/contact-us/) to create a website for the LOC so that Members could be kept informed about the governance of the LOC and activities that committees are engaged in.
Currently there is a Road Committee comprised of Wade Crittenden, Tyson Hunter and Steve Robinson who will continue to work on the annual road maintenance program plus a project to replace the culverts in Stickney Creek at the Charbonneau Road crossing. The Board encourages Members to come together and form additional committees to address issues of concern in an organized manner that can be submitted to the Board for review and action.
You will find links to information about the governance of the LOC to include past minutes of meetings and financials, plus information about the Directors and updates about road maintenance and other activities in the subdivisions.
There are also links to email the Board about any concerns related to the governance of the LOC and to email the Developer about any concerns related to enforcement of the Covenants or concerns related to enforcement of the Declaration of Easements.
The site is fairly new and the Board will continue to work on the content with additions and improvements. Input from Members in the way of constructive comments or suggestions are welcome.
Community Waste Dumpsters
Dumpsters have been relocated from their location near Recreation road. Two dumpsters are in place on lot 87 ( near Rocky Road & Charbonneau) just past the cattleguard entrance area to Missouri River Ranch. The dumpsters are for use by all Eagle Canyon and Missouri River subdivision landowners. The cost is being covered 100% by the Developer, Mark Pieloch.
Please remember – Bag your garbage and do not overfill the dumpster. Winds can carry garbage onto neighboring properties and the highway when garbage is higher than the container walls. Also, Waste Management does not permit tires, large appliances, or hazardous materials at this collection site.
Dumpsters will remain onsite until inclement weather arrives.
Road Base Materials
Trucks have begun delivering road base materials to Missouri River Ranch Lot 87 (located on Rocky Road, just before Charbonneau). Community members traveling during business hours may be sharing the entry road with larger vehicles as these deliveries are taking place.
Just a reminder, these materials are privately owned, and not available for community use. Although this area was previously used by some landowners for sighting in rifles, target practice and had some fill dirt available, it is now under new ownership and trespassing is not permitted.
Nominations Open for LOC Board Positions
Pursuant to the bylaws, our landowners’ corporation is managed by a Board consisting of five (5) Directors. Two positions are up for election this year:
1) A Director-at-large position which will carry a three-year term. Only Class A landowners can vote to select this Director.
2) Resident Lot Owner Director which carries a one-year term. Only full-time residents (Class A or B) can vote to select this Director.
Nominations for positions will be accepted from August 24, 2024, through Monday, September 9, 2024. Election ballots will be mailed out to landowners by September 13, 2024, and must be returned postmarked by October 12, 2024. There will be no voting at the meeting. All Landowners will receive a ballot with a self-addressed, stamped envelope in which to mail their ballots. The ballots will go to the Douglas Wilson accounting firm for tabulation with elected candidates being announced on the Board’s website. We will not have any Landowners, LOC officers or LOC Board Members counting or holding the ballots. Director positions begin in January of the year following the election (January 1, 2025).
