MANAGER’S REPORT The water depth readings in Wells #1, 2, and 3 taken in January are the lowest levels ever recorded. Installation of water bleeder lines at the booster stations was approved at a cost of $360 each. Anthony Ramsey of AAA was approved to represent St. Mary’s District at UCCWA meetings with authority to vote regarding matters pertaining to the District. Purchase of rebuild kits for chemical feed pumps for $720 was also approved. AAA was also authorized to build a skimmer for the WWTP at a cost not to exceed $1000. Jack Barker also reported that Heatline will not be able to be used in our District, as product is not guaranteed at pressures above 75 psi. Cathy Harper will look into GPS mapping for the District.

PUBLIC INPUT Mr. Burell of Upper Forest discussed the frozen main which has left him without water for several weeks. He questioned why the newly installed blowout valve was not used to prevent the recurring problem. AAA indicated that they could remedy the freeze with a half day’s excavation, which the Board authorized.

ENGINEER’S REPORT: Mr. Lutz promised that Well # 5 would be brought on-line within the next week. Also the warranty items at the WWTP will be addressed within the week. Mr. Lutz provided a survey (at no cost to the District) showing that the impact of lowering the head by .45 feet will impact the north end of the Lake by increasing the shoreline 5-30 feet. This is the shallow portion of the Lake that previously was only under several inches of water. Re the Storage Tank, Mr. Lutz outlined the County approval process and indicated that the District will apply for an exemption of the hearing process, due to the critical need of the tank for fire mitigation. Integra was authorized to proceed with all phases of the permit process.

At 8:35 the Board adjourned to Executive Session to discuss the pending legal proceeding brought by Evon Nather, and other personnel matters.

At 9:45 the Board reconvened and adjourned.

Approved at District meeting on March 13, 2003.
