MANAGER’S REPORT:  (Enclosed)

Kent stated that to date the Franz horse-boarding facility has been refused Larimer County approval. Road maintenance completed @ gate 3.  Next scheduled: Gate 14, and segments of the 12th and 9th filings. The SIA has elected to continue drilling for added water production.  If the production proves not to be of suitable economic value, they are now in discussion of on site treatment and shared cost of a water truck within the 12th filing.  Consequently the manager   held off on the purchase of a new truck.  Kent stated he has one firm quote for   General Liability Insurance for the Road and Recreation Association only.  The out door bathroom is under construction at Crellin Lake.  The season supply of wood for the buck and rail fence will be delivered the week of 07/19/04.  The server’s back up tape drive in the office has failed and will be repaired as time permits.  Kent explained he would be not be available on August 7th, 2004 for workday.  The Lakes were stocked for the Fourth of July weekend; we will assess the water depth for restocking at Labor Day weekend.       

The Manager’s Report was accepted by consensus.

Bob Naftzger made a motion to accept the quote for General Liability Insurance of $5.391.90 per year. Unanimous – Motion Passed.

 

 

 

 

 

PUBLIC INPUT:  There were questions concerning the fish i.e., where do we get them and what is the cost.  We purchase the fish from Nebraska at  $2.50-$2.75 each.  There was also discussion concerning the Fanjoy property and what steps are we or can we take to remove the structure.  Kent will call Bob Brandis to get an estimate on court and attorney costs to have the structure removed.  There was also discussion concerning the Red Feather Transfer Station being closed and the possibility of bringing in a roll off dumpster once or twice a year.  In order to keep the membership informed as to the status of a trash facility i.e., when and where it will be placed, Larry Peterson agreed to attend the County meetings presented by County Commissioner, Kathay Rennels.  .
