5.10     Maintenance report

Chuck Adams reported that the tennis court log is being complied with and the log is current. Vice President Jack Rutherford inquired about the lumber quote for repairing or replacing the bridge. Jack thinks the replacement can be done with little effort. The bridge is rotten and the support beams no longer support the bridge. There's a feeling that the entire bridge will ultimately have to be replaced, due to the water rotting the wood. Chris Miller construction has bid on the job and Dennis Sullivan may also submit a bid. Jack Rutherford volunteered to get a third bid.

Secretary Bob Stevens will be out of town.
The city of Pacific Grove has not responded to our request for more cans around Arnett Park.
Joseph Chaffers called about the Glen's earthquake insurance. Not surprisingly, the cost has gone up 5% while the coverage has remained the same. The Glen will attempt to extend our current coverage for a multi-year period.
Only one raccoon has been trapped since last month.

5.13     Ad hoc committees.

1. Treasurer Jim Ray reported on the reserve study analysis and bid process. (copy attached)

The Ad hoc committee has selected three painters and three roofers. According to Treasurer, the Sunstone estimates were fairly accurate. Roofers Louis and Riparetti submitted a much too low bid and provided no details. The other roofers did an excellent job. The Ad hoc committee took the 40 year shingle numbers, averaged them and then increased them slightly. The figures for road repair and lake maintenance are relatively small numbers and will not be adjusted,

The estimates from the three painting contractors were more or less the same. All the painters agreed that we need "another paint job." They pointed out to our committee the problem areas. The masonite siding is subject to "exploding" when it gets wet. All recommended that the Glen should paint this year. Board will review the committee report. 

2. The CC&R Revision committee did not report
