MANAGERS REPORT: Steve Horsmon, G.V.M. Manager, presented the manager’s report:

1. The June newsletter is completed and will be mailed out on time. We are now posting the Viewpoint in PDF format on the website. In this issue, we are asking all residents who wish to help save costs and paper to request removal from the mailing list (except for June).
2. The roll-off dumpster is now open and ready for business.
3. We’re ready for the June 28th Annual meeting. The tent rental is scheduled. Need to discuss planning for the Friday Night Social event.
4. Educational article is provided on the topics of covenant violation hearings and "Impartial Decision Makers". Another article is provided on the topic of HOA "Manager Licensing" trends in the U.S.

1. Recent moisture has allowed some decent road grading conditions this month.
2. Lynn completed making and installing a good number of new road signs. Work continues throughout the summer.
3. Met with a stone mason to inspect all rock walls at the GVM gates. He estimates that rock replacement and any needed mortar replacement can be done in 16 hours at a cost of $320. I believe the short rock walls at Gate 1 should be removed. They are in bad shape and are too costly to repair. This repair effort is being taken to prepare the gates for a new gate sign proposal next summer.
4. 12^th Filing slash pile still open – it appears we will be keeping this location all summer since we are past the window for safe burning conditions.
5. Deanna and Mary are gearing up for the 2008-2009 R&R billing cycle.

Water & Sewer Association

1. Gary and Jerry found and fixed a large water leak in the 12^th Filing on May 9^th. Another buried PVC ball valve cracked and lost about 17,000 gallons on Turkey Roost Drive.
2. Pyramid Ct. deep--bury is completed. Waiting for a resident to complete their new water/sewer line installation before the road is put back in shape.
3. Ralph Goble has completed the approved 4^th Filing system upgrade which has reduced our booster pump cycling by about 75%. We still need to install the emergency automatic storage tank shut-off on the 7^th Filing tank line.
4. Planning to begin the Quandary Ct. sewer line repair project on 5/20. The Mt. Massive/Sunlight Cr. project will begin in June.
5. The assessment resolution hearing for the Wastewater Treatment project was held at the County on May 12. Thanks to Jim P. and Al S. for attending. Resolution was passed with only one resident showing up to object. The annual assessment will be $247.75 or $3521 for those who wish to prepay. Final loan approval is completed and funds should be available by the end of the month. Met with Stantec to revise the final locations for the plant and control building. To avoid setback issues with a resident’s property line, the location was moved about 100 ft. to the northeast. The proposed Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) for the system is Wayne Ramey who is reviewing the specification now.

APPLICABLE COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Nominating Committee – Jack Carroll reported for the committee. Jack reported that all is in order for the annual meeting elections in June. Linda will be out of town for the annual meeting this year and has appointed a substitute to coordinate the voting at the annual meeting.

OLD BUSINESS:

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Address poor lake water levels and 2008 fishing policy: The manager reported that due to drought conditions, the water levels in Riddle and Crellin lakes are very low. Because the water levels at Batterson Lake remain good, residents have questioned the catch and release policy at Batterson Lake. We propose that during the drought or until the water levels in the lakes can support stocking fish that the Association allow 2 fish per person day and a maximum of 4 fish per day per lot allowed at Batterson Lake. Bob Naftzger moved to allow a temporary policy change at Batterson Lake. The manager was instructed to place a sign at Batterson Lake explaining the temporary change to the catch and release policy. Unanimous-motion passed.


2. Resident proposal for greenbelt usage at gate 5- Soccer Field: (see attached)

Joe Schroedl, Recreation Chair, presented a proposal to the Board to use the greenbelt at Gate 5 to play soccer over the summer. Joe stated that the present GVM recreation field (baseball field) is insufficient for the current needs of the soccer players. Joe also stated that the biggest problem is that the field is extremely dusty, very sloped and very small. "The area is about 1/3 the size of an average youth soccer field. The soccer teams need alternatives, and we have a good alternative here. Since the area we wish to use is directly over the upcoming construction site and will be torn up by tons of heavy equipment our impact on the meadow would be irrelevant compared to the impact of construction. My hope is to demonstrate that greenbelts could be utilized for group sports without long- term impact so long as it is used conscientiously. This may open up opportunities in other places on the mountain."

Linda Adams, Road & Recreation, voiced concern over parking on Batterson Hill, where in the last five years, five accidents and two deaths in two separate accidents have occurred. There were questions concerning the safety of players and vehicles driving on Hwy 74E.

Randy Mae, Water & Sewer asked Joe if the Fort Collins Soccer Club provides insurance for players. Joe said he would check and get back to the Board.

It was also stated that the Ecology Committee should have input on any decision concerning use of greenbelts. The Board tabled further discussion until a site visit of the area takes place by the boards, the ecology committee is notified and asked for input, Joe checks on liability insurance.

3. Resident, Anthony McColl, F-08, L-21. Dues and Fees

   Mr. McColl asked the Boards to consider giving him a break on late fees accrued on his property account. He stated that he sold the property a few years ago and recently had to take the property back. The process of taking the property back has cost him a lot of money and paying the dues and late fees at this time will create a hardship for him. During the time the owners had the property they did not pay dues or late fees. Mr. McColl is willing to pay all past dues but is asking for a break on the late fees accrued on the property. He is trying to sell the property and will pay all past and current dues upon the sale of the property or will pay both accounts in full by September 1, 2008.

   The Boards discussed options with Mr. McColl and agreed by consensus to waive late fees during the time during which he was not the property owner. If both accounts are paid in full by September 1, 2008, late fees will not accrue between now and then, however, if both accounts are not paid in full by September 1, 2008, late fees of $15/month will resume on both accounts.

4. Agenda Review and Planning discussion for Annual Meeting - June 28^th, 2008.
