ENGINEER’S REPORT     County meetings re exemption request re installation of the water storage tank will be held Tuesday March 18th at 1:30, and on March 19th at 6:30 pm.  Mr. Lutz, Mr. Huff and members of the Board will attend.  The Board unanimously approved a motion to state that the Board is officially committed to creating a re-vegetation around the tank area to mitigate adverse environmental impact, consistent with vegetation in surrounding area, at a dollar amount to be determined by the Board.

            Lake Q continues to slowly fill; the depth gauge is on order.  It may be necessary this summer to sleeve the old outlet pipe; the lake will not have to be drained to do this.  Mr. Lutz reviewed the mechanics of why the State Engineer required that the height of Lake Q be lowered by 6 inches.  In response, Mr. Lutz was directed to provide the Board with details of what is involved in a jurisdictional vs nonjurisdictional dam.

            The Board unanimously approved a motion to request another waiver of the Wastewater Discharge Permit, re monitoring annual infiltration flow, due to a drought year.

            Lutz reported that Well # 5 has been online for the past month.  To solve the problem of getting this water to the booster pumps (upper zone of the system) and the to-be-built storage tank, the Board by motion approved to either by-pass or move the current PRV’s, with a Task Order to be submitted for either approval or modification.

 

MANAGER’S REPORT  In attempting to solve the freeze up on Upper Forest, it has been determined that there is over 300 feet of frozen main.  Numerous Action Items were submitted in the report for the Board to consider and approve in the next several months, including finish work at Well #5, hiring a summer collection and distribution technician, approve jetting and valve box cleaning for the upcoming year, and proceeding with I&I.

 

PUBLIC INPUT  Denver NeVaar read a request to be appointed to the open Board Director position.  He was requested to submit a resume to Kevin Zegan. 

 

OTHER MATTERS  Kevin Zegan volunteered to write a blurb about water conservation to be included in April’s water bills.

 

At 8:00 the Board recessed to Executive Session to discuss the pending legal proceeding brought by Evon Nather, and other personnel matters.

 

At approximate 8:25 pm the Board reconvened and adjourned.

 

Approved at District meeting on April 10, 2003.
