OLD BUSINESS:

1. Brett Converse of JUB addressed the Board. There are Federal Grants available through the State of Idaho that could be utilized for plant upgrades.  There are a lot of requirements that the District would need to meet for a grant; however, the District could start the process now which would allow for flexibility in the final design of the plant upgrades.  The District is working on two possible options for plant upgrades: 1) to build mechanical plant, 2) combine with City of Sandpoint.  Brett to reach out to the City to resume talks of possibly taking discharge. He will also reach out to DEQ to assure acceptance of mechanical plant.   More details in July after WAG meeting is held.
2. The Bonner County Planning Department is requesting a response from the District for signing off on the Providence Park Subdivision. 117 new homes are to be built.  The Sewer Main Extension Agreement has been signed; however, they will need to purchase 91 New User Facility Fees and 26 hook-up portions.

They are requesting the Board to pull back from the County the lien that was turned over for nonpayment.  They suggested once it was pulled back that they would pay installments to catch up, as well as pay their quarterly up to current. The Board suggested that they come up with a solid plan in writing for the next meeting being held in July.  In the meantime, True Value Investment Group will speak to the County regarding their deadline. Their current quarterly account must be brought current prior to any negotiations regarding installment payments.
