MANAGER’S REPORT Following the Manager’s report, the District moved and unanimously approved a motion to install water meters at all booster stations at a cost not to exceed $2600. The Board also moved and unanimously approved 10 days of jetting and 5 days of TV at a cost of $18,750. The jetting and video monitoring is an ongoing project that plays an important role in prevention of line freezes by preventative maintenance.
LEGAL REPORT Fred Huff was instructed to respond to John LaChapelle (of 140 Little Creek) re his request to not have to pay to District services if he is not present at his home to use them. In another matter, Mr. Huff had prepared a letter in response to correspondence from Gloria Lawrenz. His letter was reviewed by Board members and he was authorized to forward it to Ms. Lawrenz.
ENGINEER’S REPORT Mike Lutz reported that the 2005 Infiltration Report will require approximately $2500 to complete. Motion to authorize expenditure was approved unanimously. Mr. Lutz will provide an estimate of cost for site application report to cover both Headworks Facility and Organic Waste Inflow.
PUBLIC MATTERS Jason Boling appeared before the Board to explain that the large water usage as indicated on his meter could not possibly have ensued from the small trickle he purposely left running so the pipes would not freeze. After much discussion the Board recessed into Executive Session at 6:55 and reconvened in general session at 7pm. All parties were in agreement that the meter should be tested and as part of that test determine what water usage would be per hour at a small trickle and what usage would be with faucet(s) wide open.
Mike Coors and Mark Williams (of SE Group) made a presentation to the Board regarding the proposed snow park within the District’s boundaries at the old Ski Area site previously owned by Iran Emeson. They provided the District with some usage estimates. Mike Lutz, Fred Huff and Jack Barker were instructed to review the request to determine under what circumstances would the District be able to provide water and sanitation for the proposed usage.
The Board also reviewed multiple queries from Peter Landau regarding tap transfers at several sites. After much discussion the Board motioned and unanimously approved as follows:
Re 398 Beaver: District will authorize moving the connection (to WL U3 Lot 26) if Mr. Landau pays the difference in the system development fees and pulls the service line for 398 Beaver.
Re 361 Aspen and SM U5 Lot 717: Post closing, Mr. Landau must remove the mobile home from 361 Aspen, pay the difference in system development fee, and again, at his expense, pull out the service line at 361 Aspen; Lot 717 will be left with no paid development fee and Mr. Landau will be free to use the SDF on an as yet unidentified future lot.
Re SM U3 Lot 422: District will charge Mr. Landau $10,000 as the difference in system development fees and assess 3 years of past due service charges, which Mr. Landau can pay out over the next 3 years in equal monthly installments.
There being no further issues to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 7:50 pm.
Approved at District meeting on May 25, 2006.
