Held: Monday, April 7, 2008 at 6:00 pm at the Alice School House, Silver Creek Road, Idaho Springs, CO.
ATTENDANCE A regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the St. MaryÕs Glacier Water and Sanitation District, Clear Creek County, CO, was called and held as shown above in accordance with the applicable statutes of the State of Colorado, with the following directors present and acting:
C.J. Galbraith

Also in attendance: Fred Huff, District Counsel, Jack Barker of AAA, District Manager, Carmen Barker, District Bookkeeper, and members of the public.
CALL TO ORDER: John Pacetta called the meeting to order at 6:10 pm.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: By motion and unanimous vote, the minutes for March 2008 were approved.
FINANCIALS: By motion and unanimous vote, the District approved payment of outstanding invoices in the amount of $31,889.21. By motion and unanimous vote, the District also authorized transfer of $30,000 from the operating fund to the Money Market Fund.
MANAGERÕS REPORT: Jack Barker reported that water usage was down significantly in 2008, compared to 2007. This would be due to more timely isolation of leaks in the system as well as preventive maintenance that has been done and public education on the importance of conserving water. Jack also introduced new Operations Manager, Mark Shaw.
NEW BUSINESS: Ryan Walsh, of Richard Arber Assoc, presented the Clear Creek Utility Evaluation Report. By motion and unanimous approval, the District approved the Wastewater Utility Plan as presented.
LEGAL REPORT: By motion and unanimous vote, Mr. Huff was directed to write a letter to the owner of 606 Silver Creek explaining that he (the owner) would be responsible for payment to AAA for all visits subsequent to removal of the curb stop marker, and to encourage him to come to the next meeting to explain why the marker had been removed. On the matter of Mr. GrechÕs property, the District will cover the cost for AAA to thaw the line, but will not be responsible for payment to the private party originally hired to thaw the line.
PUBLIC INPUT: Bret Hochmouth of 72 Overlook Drive requested that the District assume the cost of clearing his new sewer line of rock and pipe shards. By motion and unanimous approval the District agreed to do so, and directed that from this point forward AAA should use a hand TV to inspect final work on new installations.
Glen Clark again discussed possible extension of the main line services for approximately 200 feet to a site he wishes to build on. It was decided that if he were to perform the excavation work himself, it must be done with the supervision of AAA.
Merle Tann requested that application process for connection fees be smoothed out. It was decided that all applications and checks will go directly to AAA; once funds clear, Mr. Huff and District Engineer will make a decision as to availability of service and then AAA will notify Debra Kirkham at the County.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:15 pm.
Approved at District Meeting on May 12, 2008.
C.J. Galbraith, Secretary
St. MaryÕs Glacier Water & Sanitation
