The meeting was called to order by Bob Naftzger, President, at 6:50 p.m.

The new Directors were introduced. All were present and a quorum was established.

1. Annual meeting and elections were completed without a hitch. We had fantastic support from Gus Eykholt and the nominating committee and the entire staff did a great job preparing for the event. New W&S treasurer, Jim Petrie, will be added to accounts for signature authorization.
2. Office server had a system crash on June 30 while attempted back-up operations. Previous back-up attempts were available, but only up to June 16 due to tape back-up software problems. Contract Networks Direct to help restore network operation and retrieve lost data. Deanna and Mary completed all remaining data updates manually. Two new external hard drives are now installed as our back up system with one drive being taken off-site each week. We are trying to get a credit for the old tape system through Networks Direct. All systems are up and running fine now. Total cost of IT support and new back-up hardware is approximately $900 – within the 05-06 IT budget.
3. Gary, Jerry, and Lynn completed a one-day "Confined Space and Permitting" class.
4. Operations new GVM Spec Book for contractors is nearly complete.
5. Submitted 11 property owners to Collections Unlimited. They all received our notification letter in June and have not responded. Some owners are beginning to work with the office on past due accounts.
6. No major unplanned expenses in the last month

1. Completed experimental road grading using rented water truck and compactor on 6 major roads. We will monitor road durability compared to the normal grading process.
2. Rock crushing project proposal still in work. Need to submit application to State Division of Minerals and Geology for approval.
3. Trash compactor was down for 10 days waiting for motor replacement at GSI’s cost.
4. GSI was able to keep delivering roll-off dumpsters. I am working with GSI to ensure GVM does not get charged for roll-off services. Only normal compactor charges should apply.
5. Received contact from Kevin Fanjoy regarding Filing 9, Lot 33. See fax from Kevin Fanjoy. Association lawyer is proceeding with formal Settlement agreement which Fanjoy agreed to sign. Steve reported that the Fanjoys have signed the formal Settlement agreement.
6. Investigating possibility of constructing a 3-sided shelter (27’ x 72’) behind maintenance shop to improve winter protection and access to equipment for snow plow hook-up. Received quote from Cleary Bldg. Corp. for $13,500. Requesting Board input on this idea. Steve was asked about prices for a fourth side with doors; whether the space would be heated.

A.R.C.: Bob Isaacson reported the committee had met twice and approved one home and denied one home (because owners were trying to move a 1950s home in that would not meet code, etc. He said they reviewed one addition, a change in paint, approved one fence and two sheds. They found 8 properties in violation regarding fences, junk cars, and a trailer parked for over a year and that they would be posting a map showing what they've reviewed. He said the committee was serious about reviewing all properties for compliance with covenants

Trails Committee: Judd Adams noted that the Trails subcommittee has weed whacked the trails to make them passable and is working on developing a team to attack the weeds beyond the actual path.

Special Reports/Glacier Gals: Ginny Doft reported that Glacier Gals are looking at larger, more visible (reflective) gate number signs. She reminded everyone of the Potluck Picnic and Dance on July 30 at 6:30 pm.

Ecology Committee: Harry Corwin reported that the committee has finished mapping the location of the County's five noxious weeds throughout GVM and that James White has digitized the data and submitted it to the county to guide their spraying efforts. The County will be spraying roadsides and greenbelts and those not wanting their easements sprayed must post signs at the boundaries of their property. He noted that the first Community Noxious Weed Workshop turnout was minimal, but that participants thought it was valuable. New information boxes will be placed on the Crellin Trail at other junctions so that those joining the trail from locations other than the main trailheads can access information about the designated plants. He also noted that the Demonstration garden has been weeded and several new plants added. The drip system has been installed. He also noted that Linda Adams was preparing an article for the next GlacierViewpoint regarding where to purchase native trees, shrubs and grasses.

OLD BUSINESS: Steve reported that the Fanjoy property settlement agreement has been signed by all but the judge, which should happen soon. The Fanjoys seem sincere about taking care of everything, and in any event the legal documents will soon be in place to assure compliance.
