MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

ST. MARY’S GLACIER WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT

Held: Monday, July 9, 2007 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. 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

John Wood

C.J. Galbraith

John Pacetta

Heather Ulrich, excused absence

Also in attendance: Fred Huff, District Counsel, Carmen Barker, District Bookkeeper, and Jack Barker of AAA, District Manager, and members of the public.

CALL TO ORDER: John Pacetta called the meeting to order at 6:10 pm.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes for the June 2007 meeting were approved as submitted.

FINANCIALS: A motion was made and approved to pay current invoices in the amount of $36,523.57. Ms. Barker noted that only 7 liens remained uncollected out of 33 previously filed. She also noted that the annual report to customers of the District could be reformatted next year so that other information would be forwarded that would be of interest to District customers, along with the report. Mr. Goldhammer’s request for pro-rated abatement of his water bill was discussed. His residence at 199 Crest Drive was without service for an extended period as a break in the water main on Crest necessitated isolating 3 homes from the working portion of the line. John Wood made a motion to approve the pro-rate as requested. There was no second. Director Pacetta explained his reluctance to approve such a rebate as it would be in direct conflict with the Rules and Regulations of the District as they are now written. He also indicated that a thorough look at the resulting economics of this kind of a decision would have to be undertaken. It was discussed this would be appropriate to do at the end of the year, when the Rules and Regulations of the District are reviewed for potential revisions. A motion was made by C.J. Galbraith and approved unanimously to examine the idea of rebates for extended outages as part of the Rules and Regs review.

MANAGER’S REPORT Jack Barker of AAA reported that the Alice and Crest Drive leaks had been repaired. It was also noted that the roof of the Alice Booster Station was in serious need of repair and Paul Johnson volunteered to post a notice on the Community Board to solicit bids on the repair.

A discussion of shoring excavations vs. sloping the walls was concluded with the Board indicating they would like a County representative to report to the District at a future meeting as to the merits/advisability of each of the methods.

The following items were motioned and unanimously approved: $2500 for purchase of excavation bedding material, to be stored at the WWTP; installation of a fire hydrant at Beaver & Silver Creek as part of the main line repair in that area; and approval of a flat-top concentric top for the manhole on Overlook, at a cost of $220 plus $165 delivery.

LEGAL REPORT Fred Huff presented the Request for Proposal for the Operation of the District’s Potable Water System, Wastewater Collection & Treatment System, and Water and Wastewater System Emergency Response and Repair Services. It was reviewed by the Board and Mr. Huff was instructed via motion and unanimous vote to post the notices in The Courant and the Denver Metro newspaper.

OTHER MATTERS: John Pacetta reported that at the annual POA meeting, there was some concern that Mr. McKee of the Army Corps of Engineers was requiring that the excavated dirt from the Lake Quivera dredging of several years ago be put back into the Lake. Mr. Huff indicated he would look into the matter on behalf of the District, which owns the Lake property.

The Board also approved an in-kind donation of fire hydrants to the Countywide Fire Protection Plan. Paul Johnson said he would give Fred Huff contact information.

There being no further business, meeting was adjourned at 7:15 pm.

Approved at District meeting on August 13, 2007.
