TREASURER’S REPORT:  (See enclosed)

Tom Hackman gave a synopsis of the financials.  He stated that everything looks good.  He asked the Manager to comment on the $28,549.00 figure that is over budget.  Kent reiterated that this money was spent to continue road maintenance that the Board elected for in a previous meeting.  The report was approved by consensus.

 

MANAGER’S REPORT:  (Enclosed)

Kent stated that no one wants to insure homeowners associations.  Road and Recreation is able to get a quote, but due to the presence of dams, insurance companies will not give a quote for the Water and Sewer Association.  The carpet was steam cleaned in the office and unfortunately some stains are permanent and will not come clean.  The Glacier Gals were publicly thanked for their $250.00 contribution to the carpet cleaning.  The slash pile will be closing at Gate 3 and will relocate to the site on Parnassus Court.  The location at Gate 3 is getting too large.  Kent reported on estimates for the outhouse at Crellin Lake.  He figured that one could be constructed of wood and have two holes one for men and one for women.  The Board decided it would look at it at budget time.  The Manager’s Report was approved by consensus.

 

PUBLIC INPUT:  Diane Morison stated that the article she e-mailed to the Viewpoint editor was not in the latest Viewpoint.  Betsy Hackman said that she would follow up with the editor and find out what happened to the article.  She also suggested that submissions be e-mailed to the office as well to insure that the articles get published.
