COMMITTEE REPORTS
A.
ACC: (See Attached) John Calhoun reported
for the ACC one new home was approved, and the color change of another home and
shed were approved. The denials consisted of four new homes, one garage, one
deck and four other pending. Modular homes continue to be a problem. Plans are
often incomplete, hand-drawn, and not buildable. Also, failure to build as approved. The recommendation will be
fines. A letter was sent to the committee regarding a residence that is not in
compliance with the ACC and they have never completed their building as far as
decking and reseeding the property, a make shift shed was attached to the
house. The neighbor complaining is requesting that they be allowed to have a 12
foot privacy fence in front of their home so that they will no longer be
subject to looking at the disrepair. There was further discussion regarding
fines, and how to appropriately deal with this situation. Kent Christen,
manager, for Glacier View will began action with this property owner.
B. ECOLOGY COMMITTEE: Harry Corwin reported
for the committee. Alvin Stark made the sign for the Ecology Demonstration
Garden. Last Saturday 11 of the 13 members showed up to refurbish the Crellin
Lake nature trail. There is continued effort regarding the Mountain Pine Beetle
and various noxious weeds. Funds have been allocated for the spraying of
noxious weeds. A property owner volunteered the use of his mower to mow the
noxious weeds, as the Association's mower is not working. There was continued
discussion regarding Mountain Pine Beetle and the need to have identified trees
cut down and treated properly then removed, the Colorado Forest Service is
still sending out the first letter identifying infested trees.

OLD BUSINESS:
COMPUTER SYSTEM
UPDATE: (See Attached) Peggy Bahus reported on the Yardi system once again
stating that the Peachtree database had been severely damaged by the Y2K
problem and should not be used for any reason, she produced a letter from CRT a
private computer contractor. Peggy is currently believes figures from 1/2000 to
3/31/2000 calculated from Peachtree should be checked manually for correct
calculations. Peggy no longer wants to be involved with the Yardi computer
system.
TAPES OF BOARD

tapes of the minute's verses destroying the tapes after the minutes are
transcribed and approved. Merle Niehaus moved that the recorded tapes be

GVM MANAGER: The
Association has hired Kent Christen as the new manager of Glacier View. Kent
has a college degree in business administration and a minor in economics and
water license. Kent has been employed with Glacier View for 2 years and is very
familiar with the water situation in the 12'h filing. Both Boards did meet and
it was a joint decision. Scot Niebur will be fulfilling Kent's place and the
Association will be hiring for the Maintenance I position. Kent introduced
himself and answered various questions from the membership. There was
discussion regarding the consideration of reinstating the Rules Committee to
establish guidelines, ethics and revise the By- laws. Keith Weeks and Peggy
Bahus volunteered to review the By-laws and suggest the necessary changes. Some
of the membership expressed a desire to hire a Parliamentarian to establish
confidence that each meeting is properly and professionally facilitated. Mr.
Corder requested that the Board revisit the schedule of the slash pile, the
past manager did not keep the established schedule of rotation of the slash
pile, and this issue has caused a serious problem. Kent informed the Board that
the F250 would require a new transfer case and is continually requiring new
tires, it is not what we need to plow and haul, the Board advised Kent to do
further research and have solid figures to present to the Board.
AIR
CONDITIONING FOR OFFICE: Marilyn Buhrman moved that an air conditioner_for
the office be purchased. Merle Niehaus seconded the motion. Motion carried
LETTER MAILED TO
BOARD MEMEMBERS - MIMI PEARSON: (See Attached) Mimi reiterated the purpose of
the Committee of Accountability A) To insure that the Board of Directors is acting
in the best interest of the association membership B) To provide a resource and
platform for the independent and objective investigation of facts and
information affecting all GVM owners C) To assist the Boards in their efforts
to do their best in the service for the Community D) To work for the common
interests of the Boards, the members and the staff E) To create long term
continuity and stability in the governance of Glacier View Meadows. There was
more discussion of hiring a Parliamentarian as overseer at Board meetings. Mimi
deferred the meeting to Irish Slack. Iris Slack read from her prepared
statement (See Attached). The Board and Membership collectively looked at ways
of developing effective communication with and among the membership, one way would
be our website, it was pointed out that this means of communication was dropped
by the previous manager and needs t o be reinstated. Also discussed were the
desires of the Ad Hoc committee to be come part of a sanction and designated
committee by the Board of Directors, one opinion reflected that a neutral group
be formed such as the Rules Committee which would be non-political. It was
suggested to put things in a written format and present it at the next Joint
Meeting.
Merle Niehaus
moved to adjourn the meeting. Marilyn Buhrman seconded the motion. Motion
