Minutes:  Minutes from the March Board Meeting were approved as submitted.

Financial Statements:  Financials as presented were approved as submitted.

Maintenance Report: The Maintenance Report was approved as submitted. Still having heavy rains and snow melt; however, not affecting the District.

OLD BUSINESS:

1. Brett Converse from JUB addressed the Board. The Cottages Homeowners Association approached Brett regarding assistance with the irrigation of the common area when the District finalizes the infrastructure from the lake up to Nancy Road for discharge. Brett is looking into low-cost systems as part of the District’s project.  Although the final project could be as far as 10 years out, the infrastructure may be able to begin sooner.

Discussion included possibly making a formal change to the District’s Rules and Regulations no longer allowing transfers of ERs between properties (with the same owner).  But, instead only allowing a sell back to the District. Purchasing of additional ERs for parcels would be allowed with the submittal of plans showing the need for the additional ERs.  This would eliminate vacant ERs from accumulating without benefitting the District patrons.

2. Ponderay Car Wash (HWY 95). No new information has been submitted. No Action Taken.

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Representatives for The Cottages Homeowners Association were not present. Some updates were discussed with Brett Converse under old business. No action was taken.
2. Sewer Main Extension Agreement for the start of plan review for the Cove at Whiskey Jack was approved and signed.
3. Discussion of adding a 2nd monthly meeting on the 4th Monday of every month for addressing City responses to zoning changes as they affect the District. No action taken at this time.
4. Budget Hearing dates were set. Budget Workshop scheduled for Tuesday, 12-2 p.m., Approval for Publication scheduled for discussion at the August meeting on Monday the 8th and Public Hearing scheduled for Monday, August 25th.
5. There is a State Assistance Fund that is available for patrons for Water and Sewer utility payment assistance. Eric moved to make this available to patrons.  Larry seconded the motion. All in favor.  This assistance will not interfere with patrons applying for the help your neighbor program through the District.
6. Blue Cross discussion. Eric motioned for No Action at this time.  Larry seconded the motion.  All in favor.
7. Colleen reported to the Board that the Idaho State Unemployment Tax has gone down this year.
8. Adjudication of Rights to the Water from the Clark Fork Pend Oreille River Basins Water System, Civil No. 00-69576. KPSD does not draw water and Idaho allows wastewater irrigation to be used to extinction.  This ruling does not apply to KPSD land applying.
