FINANCIAL REPORT: The Board approved payment of outstanding invoices in the amount of $16.018.46.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes for the May meeting were unanimously approved, as corrected.
PUBLIC INPUT: The excavator for the David Hill project at 29 Eva Road was present to discuss AAA’s inspection of the tap at that property; in the absence of David Hill discussion was tabled. Iyad Allis of 336 Crest Drive was present to discuss reimbursement of expenses related to the freeze up on Crest Dr. that necessitated his bringing in water. Matter was taken under advisement pending research of issues including but not limited to the depth of the service lines in Crest Drive.
MANAGER’S REPORT: No items of significance were noted.
ENGINEER’S REPORT: Mr. Lutz reported that connection of electrical service for the new well will cost approximately $16,000. The Board authorized by unanimous vote to approve the Directors to execute a contract for services up to $20,000 for installation of power to Well Site #5. Regarding the water storage tank. Mr. Lutz presented literature on a tank with a glass fused coating with a lifetime of approximately 50 years, which would require a 12 week lead time to install, a capacity of 250,000 at a very approximate cost of $150,000. The company’s bid must be site specific, because of soils reports, etc. Mr. Lutz strongly encouraged using the Wastewater Treatment Plant site for several reasons: soils reports are already done, there is power to the site, we already own the site, and we can secure the site. This would expedite the entire process; the second storage tank could be put at a higher location, to effect all the advantages of gravity for a second site. The Board will consider asking the Fire District to contribute for a pump at the storage tank to facilitate using the water in the event of a fire. The Board unanimously approved a motion to authorize Integra to get a bid for the WWTP site and give the board an engineer’s bid for the infrastructure.
The water ingress line into the WWTP, and it’s location in a road which is not platted and in fact is private property, was discussed. Cathy Harper is procuring the owner’s survey which will be reviewed by counsel. The property in question is not in the District. Possible solutions include negotiating an easement on the property or purchasing the property (which may be advantageous to obtain a buffer zone around the WWTP site).
Cathy Harper reported that she has been unable to located anyone willing to undertake installation of a headgate at Lake Q. The matter was referred to Mike Lutz for design and execution.
Meeting was adjourned at _________________.
