OLD
BUSINESS:
A.
Audit
Report. Scott Rulon was present and
reviewed the published Independent Auditor's Report dated October 26, 2001
(Audit) as issued by Rickards Long & Rulon CPA's ( CPA) of the R & R
Association for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001. Mr. Rulon stated that although the Audit
reflects the fiscal years stated, he reviewed and examined records of the R
& R Association for the 5 years prior to when the last audit was performed
to reconcile and update the financial records of the R & R Association to
the beginning date of the Audit. The
Auditor's opinion is that "…the financial statements referred to above (
attached to and as a part of the Audit ) fairly reflect, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Glacier View Road and Recreation
Association as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with United State
generally accepted accounting principles." Mr. Rulon stated that this is the highest and best response that
can be given to an audit.
B.
CPA Audit letters. Mr. Rulon also reviewed two letters issued by the CPA's dated December
10, 2001 that accompanied the Audit.
Both were a discussion of the accounting standards, policies and review
of internal controls that the Audit reflects.
C.
Availability
of Audit. A copy of the Audit and the
accompanying letters are available for review and inspection at the GVM office
for members of GVM.
D.
Policy
& Procedure/Delinquent Dues and Fees.
Chuck Huddleson reported that he reviewed with Management the delinquent
dues and fees that have been classified as bad debts in the past and for which
no collection efforts were instituted.
Chuck found they were so classified for a variety of reasons. Chuck will review the previous accounts
declared as bad debts and see if any can be assigned to a collection agency for
collection and discuss with Management a procedure to recommend to both R &
R and W & S Boards to implement in the future for collection of delinquent
dues and fees and/or pursuing/foreclosing assessment liens.
E.
Formalize
Budget Committee. See discussion and
action above.
F.
Public
Sector/Personnel Proposal. It was moved
by Chuck Huddleson that this matter be referred to the Personnel Committee for
consideration. Motion passed
unanimously.
G.
Fire
Department Lease. Chuck Huddleson and
Gus Eykholt or one of them will locate the existing lease between the GVM R
& R and the GVM Fire Department for the Fire Department's use of the fire
facility located in the ___Filing. The
lease will be modified to reflect a long term with 10-year renewable rights. It will be submitted to the Fire Department
for its review and when approved, brought back to the Board for review and
approval.
NEW
BUSINESS:
A.
Review
of Transfer Fees. Presently GVM R &
R charges $25 and W & S charges $35 to anyone inquiring as to the status of
assessments, dues and fees of a lot. A
party has recently complained about this cost.
This is allowed by statute and will continue as a policy of GVM.
B.
Management
Audit. Gus Eykholt reported that the
Board is and will be working on the R & R Boards response to the recent
Management Audit conducted by the Rules Committee.
C.
Covenant
Discussion/Animal Control. Chuck
Huddleson reported that dog owners in his area are not observing either the GVM
covenant restrictions or County leash law restrictions on keeping dogs under
leash or control. Those present voiced the same concerns and complaints. Various solutions were discussed including
(1) use of animal traps, (2) filing complaint with the County Animal Control,
(3) have a complaint procedure with GVM and/or (4) publish articles and notices
in the ViewPoint.
D.
Litigation
Update. Chuck Huddleson reported that
he will prepare a Litigation Report to reflect (1) the dismissal or withdrawal
of the appeal by the Forum in the Forum vs. GVM lawsuit, (2) Motion for summary
Judgement in the Parker vs. GVM lawsuit and (3) the statement of Ryan Mosher
stating that his affidavit accusing Kent Christen and others of several acts of
wrongdoing in the motion for an injunction made by Parker in the Parker lawsuit
was not his statement and did not truthfully reflect what he said. He further stated that Parker's attorney had
represented it was for what Mosher thought was Mosher's claim for wrongful
discharge and not to assist Parker in Parker's lawsuit.
The
meeting was duly adjourned.
