OLD BUSINESS:
- Brett updated the Board on the progress of the permit, it is still moving forward however he hasn’t heard any new update from DEQ yet. Tanya had no new updates for the upcoming Bond. Discussed invoicing timeline for Bond Council.
The District will wait for verification on ballot results and are looking at alternatives in case the ballot does not pass, such as Judicial Confirmation. - Mike Hammack addressed the Board about the Providence Subdivision. They are still moving forward with a phasing plan. However, he asked the board if the $10,000 SME Fee could be waived that would be required with each phase. Colleen explained that the purpose of the deposit is in the case that developer leaves the project with repairs which need to be completed; the deposit is used to complete the repairs and any costs over the deposit are billed to the developer. The Board decided to wait on a decision until they hear back from DEQ on the number of final approved phases for the project.
- Field of Dreams update, they started looking for a flow meter and saw that it was outside of the budget that was originally planned. They asked the board if it would be acceptable if they hired an employee on their end to track reads. Those reads would be given to the district weekly apart from tournaments where reads will be given daily. The Board approved with the condition that reads be on the agenda monthly to be reviewed at board meetings. If reads are not reported to the district, the city will be required to put in a flow meter.
Bob made a Motion to approve usage reads manual reported weekly and daily on high usage days, Motion Seconded by Larry
NEW BUSINESS:
- Michelle Ward with 108 Tibbetts Lane approached the board about potentially transferring a hook up from the animal hospital to the office building located on the property.
