Two (2) homes, one (1) shed, one (1) fence, and one (1) driveway were denied with three (3) homes pending.  Significant issues with modular homes requiring multiple changes to render appearance as acceptable.  The revision of ACC Rule & Regulations will go out to the membership this month with an effective date of July 1.  Residents are to be advised of a more consistent enforcement of ACC Rules & Regulations in the future, as well as rectifying out-of-compliance situations, beginning with the most visible. 

 

B.                 ECOLOGY COMMITTEE: (See Attached) Diane Morison voiced her concerns regarding the spraying of “Curtail” one concern she brought up was that Curtail will be need to be sprayed more then once, as previously discussed.  All of the research that Merle Niehaus had done showed it would need to be sprayed only once.  

 

C.                 GLACIER GALS: Diane Morison reported that the Glacier Gals have found some reflective tape the cost is $24.00 per yard, Road & Recreation agreed to pay half of the cost. The reflective tape will be used to mark and highlight the gate numbers at the entrance of each gate.

 

D.                 MANAGEMENT ACTION ITEMS: (See Attached) Grant highlighted action items for the month of May, he met with the monthly ACC Committee meeting, conducted 9 site inspections. On May 16 the County Commissioners meet with Glacier View Residents and answered various questions pertaining to taxes, and Eiger Road. Obtained a new supplier for Buck n Rail fencing at half of budgeted price. The Mulligan drainage pond issue has been resolved, Shawn Hoff, the Water Commissioner turned the issue over to the Army Corps of Engineers and they signed off on the issue, they have final jurisdiction.  We had a programmer come out from Colorado State and he is attempting to assist us with some continuing issues we have with the Yardi program.

 

Mike Carroll will be conducting a survey and notifying owners infested with the noxious weeds.  The owners will have to deal with the weed as there is a state mandate regarding the owner’s responsibility to keep their property free of noxious weeds or a separate contractor will be called in and an assessment will be attached to their property.  As an Association we can only spray the greenbelt area, the cost would be approximately $1,200 to $1,500 this item was not a budgeted item.  We do have funds available in the contingency fund.  Some questions were brought forward regarding the possibility of the Association spraying along the roadside. We would need to discuss with our Attorney our liability.  Marilyn Buhrman moved to allocate approximately $1,200.00 as soon as timely effective to spray our greenbelt for noxious weeds.  Mark Ahart seconded the motion. Motion carried. The Board requested that Grant follow up with our attorney Mason Mitchell as to how we should proceed with the individual property owners.

 

There was a discussion regarding the improved / unimproved status definition which was adopted by the W&S Board. The W&S Board chose to adopt TCO or CO as the definition for improved vs. unimproved.  Roger Shea asked for a motion for R&R to adopt the same language as W&S regarding improved vs. unimproved. Merle Niehaus amended the proposed motion and said people that are living in their home be charged as improved. This issue was deferred until the next Joint Meeting.    

 

CORRESPONDENCE: (See Attached) We received a bill from US West in the amount of $407.23 our maintenance crew damaged the cable twice.  We did have locates done and twice locates were incorrect.  The Board questioned if US West did the locates or an independent contractor did the locates. Grant contacted US West regarding the charges they had told him they would discount the bill $100.00. The Board agreed to pay the bill.
