CALL TO ORDER: Paul Johnson called the meeting to order at 6:05 pm.
FINANCIAL REPORT: Payment of bills in the amount of $103,874.38 was
unanimously approved, and an expenditure of $374 was ratified. Ginny Fountain was authorized to file liens
in early December on all outstanding balances where payment plans have not been
set up or not paid as agreed.
.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes for previous meeting were unanimously approved as submitted.
MANAGER’S REPORT The Manager informed the Board that Dave Hill had covered a service line on Brook Drive prior to AAA inspection; he will be notified that no service will be provided until the line is exposed and inspected. The Board unanimously approved installation of a Booster at the Parson’s residence to solve low psi at the home, subject to a reevaluation of the problem after the tank is filled and subject to homeowner’s agreement. The Board also acknowledges AAA employee Anthony Ramsey for his achieving Level D Water & Wastewater Certifications.
ENGINEER’S REPORT: Lutz reported that today is completion date for the
Water Storage Reservoir Contract, so from this point forward liquidated damages
could accrue. He reported that the
Change Order request ($41,000) for the granite removal is not justified, and he
will request more information to present the Board. At this time the tank is 2/3 full, with
complete filling expected in next 24 hours.
At that point backfilling can commence, which should take about one
week. Re use of non-stainless steel
bolts on the tank, Mr. Lutz suggested that we obtain an allowance for the work,
to be corrected next year at a time when routine maintenance on the tank would
be scheduled. Regarding Lake Q, the
Board moved to approve Change Order #1, which proposes a suggested proposal to
MLL in the amount of $15,847.85.
LEGAL: Fred Huff has posted Legal Notice for Public Input
on the 2004 Budget. The audit of 2003
will be completed in the next day or so and Mr. Huff will pick it up and review
it prior to presenting it to the Board.
The certified letter sent to Mr. Johnson re the trailer knock down, with
damage to District service lines, has been returned as undeliverable.
OTHER MATTERS: Erin Johnson was instructed to notify Mark Barnes
that he needs to reapply for a system development fee for the residence being
constructed on Lake Q., and to inform Mr. Johnstone of 161 Silver Creek that
the entire amount of his water bill is due and no letter will be provided to
the county re availability of service until it has been paid.
The meeting was adjourned
at 7:40 pm.
Approved at District meeting on December 11, 2003.
C.J. Galbraith, Secretary
St. Mary’s Glacier Water and Sanitation District
