C)     Mailbox Shelters: Bob Naftzger stated that he had spoken to Juanita at the Livermore Post Office.  Juanita had said that she would provide paperwork that outlined the agreement made between Kelly Curtis and GVM regarding shelters.  She has not provided the documents as of yet.  Bob asked the Board to close the issue until further information is obtained.

D)    Mistletoe Issues:  After consulting the forest service, it has been determined that the best procedure for control and to prevent spreading is to create a 40-60 foot buffer zone between properties, greenbelts, etc.  It was determined that the interior of an infested property is not an issue, just the perimeter.  Frank McCormick made a motion that our policy be to respond to complaints about mistletoe infestations and take action within setback areas according to 6.6.2 in the by-laws. – Unanimous – motion passed.  It was decided that the mistletoe letters would need to be revised to incorporate the new policy.  Greenbelts were discussed in relation to the recommendations of the Rules Committee report.  Frank McCormick made a motion to use the inappropriate and appropriate uses, with the exception of number 1) grazing, stated in the Ecology Committee report to achieve reasonable order and condition as required by Larimer County regulations for open space. – Unanimous – motion passed.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

 

D)    Complaints – Pfenning and Lifto:  The Board looked at the filed complaints.  It was decided that the office would send a letter to the Lifto’s about their tent and that Kent would write this.  The mistletoe complaint against Pfenning will be addressed by sending them a revised mistletoe letter.

 

Frank McCormick announced that he would be away for the next 5 months and would miss many meetings.  Due to this situation he said he would resign and the Board could find a replacement if it wished.  After some discussion, the Board decided to find a replacement for Frank and ask the runners up of the election if they would be interested in finishing out the year.
