       5.03   WEBSITE REPORT – Glen Grossman reports pictures of former Board members Chuck Adams and Bob Stevens are up on the History page of the website along with Diane Hardcastle and Mark Risley.

        6.06  ANNUAL MEETING Motion by Grossman, seconded by Rugar, to hold the Annual Meeting on 11/15/05 at 7:00 p.m. at the Forest Grove HOA Clubhouse,
Forest Lodge Road, Pacific Grove, CA. Motion passes
.

        6.07  Board Vacancies – At the Annual Meeting, we will have three vacancies on the Board of Directors. The reason for staggered elections is so at least two directors will carry over onto the new Board thus giving the new Board some idea of what is going on in The Glen. With Jack Rutherford leaving in November, Diana Busman leaving the end of October, neither Jim Ray nor Jack Rugar running for re-election, the only way to guarantee two directors continuing in office on the new Board is for Jack Rugar to resign his current position and be appointed to fill Diana Busman's director position. Jack Rugar advises he is agreeable to resigning from the Board of Directors and being appointed to fill the director position of Diana Busman upon her resignation from the Board.

7.0   NEW BUSINESS –

        7.01 Glen Heights Letter - Diana Busman reports we received a letter from Access Association, managing agent fro Glen Heights, stating that The Glen was not maintaining its trees, there were dead trees and dead branches which could damage property at Glen Heights, and that Glen Heights was willing to share the expense of an arborist. Rodger advises The Glen has spent $5400 on its trees this year and the only dead tree on the property is not located near Glen Heights property. This is really about their views and topping trees and we have been told not to top trees because that damages the trees. Rodger will draft a response for Joseph to send.

        7.02 Chain Link Fence - Jack Rugar advises the wooden fence behind unit #102 and 104 has fallen down and we need to install a chain link fence. Rodger estimates the cost at $8000. Rugar agrees to get bids and advise the Board.

        7.03 Management Proposals - on hold for the new Board to address.

        7.04 Membership List - Jim Ray reports he counted 13 units which are rented out. Rodger said he counted 17 rentals.

8.0   CORRESPONDENCE – none except as noted

9.0   FUTURE BOARD MEETING / ADJOURNMENT – 10/18/05 at 6:00 p.m. at the Forest Grove HOA Clubhouse, Forest Lodge Road, Pacific Grove, CA.
