The minutes were accepted by consensus.
TREASURER’S REPORT: Gene Watt gave a synopsis of financials at the Eleventh month of 2004. All line items are within acceptable parameters except 002 Community Systems supplies and Operations supervisor and Maintenance II wages attributed to water hauling costs to the 12th filing.
MANAGER’S REPORT: (Enclosed)
The manager advised the Board that the F-350 had to be fixed as winter is approaching. Front end work and tires @ $1700.00 split unless you advise otherwise. The vehicle should be good for two more years.
The manager notified the Board that 2004 testing for total trihalomethane and halocetic acids as well as other required testing for fiscal 2003-2004 is complete. Next year we test for synthetic and volatile organics, cost est. of $6500.00, which is budgeted for.
The computer remodel is complete @ $1296.00 plus a Yardi update @ $400.00 split between both Associations.
The Ionic Exchange (water softener) in the 12th Filing was scheduled for maintenance 04-05, I was forced to service early @ cost of $500.00. The equipment is out of warranty.
A residence in the 12th Filing went under foreclosure, the bank ordered winterizing, and the contractor drained the home with the main service open. We lost an estimated 45,000 gallons of water. The manager informed the Board of intentions to pursue assessing the bank for the cost of the water. The Water & Sewer Board gave consensus to do so.
The plant improvement fees within the Community system adjusted to $4200.00 per the C.P.I. index.
PUBLIC INPUT: Opinions voiced as to the Board of Directors responsibilities as well as policy and procedures concerning the Board and the Glacier View Office.
COMMITTEE REPORTS: No Committee reports were presented.
OLD BUSINESS;
A) The Board reviewed an issue involving existing spring water originating in
Filing 1, but planned usage within filing II.
Gene Watt moved that Water and Sewer dues structure be applicable to the point of origin of the water source. Unanimous-motion passed
NEW BUSINESS:
A) The Board discussed the issue of properties over 35 acres which have been granted Exempt Well Permits from the State of Colorado Division of Resources. Board consensus as before, Glacier View Water and Sewer does not contest the authority of the State but holds that the only authority is the Division I Water Court in any action. As there is no authority to "un-ratify" a property within the Augmentation plan, Board consensus is since the State and the Water Commissioner has waived the Association from regulating and reporting of parcels 35 or more acres in size that obtain or have obtained Well Permits in the past, the Association has no authority to assess dues structure.
Meeting Adjourned @ 7:18 p.m.
