OLD BUSINESS:

1. No new update from Brett. A Special Meeting was scheduled for June 24^th, 2024, at 4:30pm. For the board to sign the paperwork for Bond Funding, only drafts were available for review at the meeting. We are waiting for the final document to be signed before the board can sign. Colleen is going to follow up on the confirmation of the election.
2. An updated letter from DEQ was received, however it does not outline a specific number of phases for the proposed phasing project for providence. Tanner requested that Providence present a final phased plan for the District. Brian reworded the SME specifically to this project to accommodate the proposed phasing plan. As the District Legal Counsel, Brian recommended the approval of the revised document for Providence. The Board reviewed the updated changes to the SME for providence.
   Eric Motioned to approve the revised SME, Seconded by Bob, All in Favor.
3. An Out of Bounds Sewer Connection Agreement was drafted by Brian Werst, the District Legal Counsel. The Board reviewed the Agreement and asked that the wording for the Out of Bounds agreement be specific to a municipality.
   Bob motioned to approve the Out of Bounds Sewer Connection agreement with the included edits the Board asked from legal counsel. Seconded by Eric, all in favor.
4. Sewer Main Extension revisions to wording made by Legal Counsel, Brian Werst. The Board reviewed the changes and requested an edit to typo under bullet point #10.
   Larry made a motion to approve the Sewer Main Extension wording revisions with the included correction to the typo. Seconded by Bob, all in favor.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Bob made a motion to approve signing a 48-month contract with Pitney Bowes for Postage Meter. Seconded by Eric, all in favor.
2. Brett that there are more treatment plants he and Tanner plan on touring, to understand what package plant will work best for the District. Once they decide on a vendor, then the vendor will assist Brett in designing the package plant for the District. Brett needs a written confirmation of the Boards approval to continue with a basic design for the plant upgrades.
   A factor that Brett and Tanner are keeping in mind while considering the requirements of the Permit is the possibility of land applying at the Golf Course that McGhee LLC is designing. This would offer the District 30 acres of wooded land to irrigate. The new plant will be able to produce Class A Irrigation water. Right now, the District is treating Class C or Class D, which the Golf Course could accommodate while in development. The Board thanked the McGhee LLC group for coming in and would like more information from Tanner on the option of the Golf Course.
3. Eric motioned to relieve Laura Dallas of being the District Clerk and appointing Rebekah Zwygart to District Clerk. Seconded by Bob, all in Favor.
4. The Board will need an administrator to handle the upcoming Bond Funds. Motion made by Bob to accept looking for an administrator, seconded by Eric, all in favor.
