TREASURER’S REPORT: (enclosed)

Gene Watt reviewed the current budget status.  He went over the percentages of each part of the budget at 33% through the year.  He stated that we are on course.

 

MANAGER’S REPORT: (enclosed)

Kent discussed the situation of El Diente Court and told the Board that the pipe/heat tape could either be fixed temporarily or be deep buried.  Ralph Goble suggested that deep burying would be the best option, but that Kent should wait until the ground thaws and in the meantime just fix it.  Kent stated that the price for an acre foot of water jumped to $750.00 and asked the Board what it wanted to do.  Ralph Goble made a motion to approve the purchase of 9 acre feet of water for $750.00 per acre foot. – Unanimous – motion passed.  Kent continued his report and addressed the audience concerning the importance of water meters, and stated that having one is a state law.  He reported to the Board that the audit for the fiscal year of 02-03 is estimated at $6,000.00 per Association.  The Board found this figure to be outrageous and suggested that we research other options.  It was tabled to the Joint meeting on March 15^th.  Kent stated that a private attorney had contacted him requesting the names and addresses of contingent property owners.  The Board decided that we should release the names to the subdivision presidents only.  In closing Kent asked the Board if he could attend a training session in Pueblo, CO for a few days, and the Board granted permission.
