MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

ST. MARY’S GLACIER WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT

Held: Thursday, March 11, 2004 at 6 pm at the Alice School House, Silver Creek Road, Idaho Springs, CO.

ATTENDANCE: A regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the St. Mary’s Glacier Water and Sanitation District, Clear Creek County, CO, was called and held as shown above and in accordance with the applicable statutes of the State of Colorado, with the following directors present and acting:

Paul Johnson

C.J. Galbraith

John Pacetta

Butch Taylor, excused absence

Also in attendance: Fred Huff, Counsel for the District, Ginny Fountain, Bookkeeper for the District, Erin Johnson, Customer Liaison and Jack Barker of AAA Operations, members of the public.

CALL TO ORDER: John Pacetta called the meeting to order at 6:05 pm.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes for February’s meeting were unanimously approved as corrected.

FINANCIALS: The Board approved $10,688.34 in unpaid bills. They authorized that the annual water usage fee of $1130 could be paid in as many as 12 installments, in which case there would be a $2 service charge per month.

MANAGER’S REPORT Jack Barker reported a frozen water main on Alice Road, and frozen sewer line at Lower Forest. At Mr. Barker’s recommendation, the Board authorized by motion the finish of detail work at Well #5 in the approximate amount of $1700, to prevent further corrosion damage.

LEGAL: A motion was made and passed unanimously to authorize Richard Egan to review possible loans available for 2004 from DOLA. C.J. Galbraith moved and Paul Johnson seconded and all approved to cancel the 2004 election, as there were not more candidates than there were seats available.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Mr. Opel discussed his original plans for water/sewer service to the General Store/Residential Units and the evolution of them from a store and 1 apartment unit (initial plan) to a store and three (3) apartment units (as built). Mr. Opel had presented his initial plan to the District, which established a system development fee for that proposal based on the rules and fee structure in effect at that time. The fee was 1.5 times the residential fee. That plan was apparently not acceptable to Clear Creek County under the zoning code in effect at that time. Mr. Opel revised his plans to comply with the zoning code but did not seek further review of his revised plan from the District. The revised plan contemplated the store, two (2) small apartments of approximately 400 square feet each, and a storage area. As built, the structure consists of the store and three (3) apartments of approximately 400 sq. ft. each. There is a single water meter for the structure, and it is impractical to separately meter the store and each apartment. The water use for the structure is metered and will be charged at a commercial rate.

Rebecca and Bill Mazewski, owners of Lot 831 and 832 of St. Mary’s Subdivision Unit 5, petitioned the Board to vacate the easement between the 2 lots, as it is their intent to build one single family residential home on the two lot site. The Board approved that the District do so, subject to legal counsel including in the vacation the clause that the District could reinstate the easement should the single residence on the combined lots not be constructed.

The meeting was adjourned at 6:50 pm.

Approved at District meeting on May 13, 2004.

C.J. Galbraith, Secretary

St. Mary’s Glacier Water and Sanitation District
