OLD BUSINESS:

1. NPDES Permit: Brett was not in attendance. Tanner updated the Board on the continuing lake study. No changes from last month. Still talking to Sandpoint about regionalization, and Schweitzer still in talks about land applying.  The Cottages homeowner’s association will be meeting next month.  The District has been in communication with them regarding an option to run a line out through their boat access to the lake.  The association has improvement plans for the area in the future and would like to work with the District on the design. The District would be able to bore under any improvements made by the association.  The District should be getting answers from IDEQ by February 2022. The rate study should be complete by February as well.
2. The Board discussed the issue of adjusting the New User Facility Fee for additional dwelling units (ADUs). Jim spoke to the City of Kootenai and the City of Ponderay.  Each city has different rulings regarding ADUs.  It would be difficult for the District charges a different NUFF due to square footage as it still falls under the description of a residential dwelling.  Bob moved to continue to charge ADUs as 1 ER (same as a single-family residence). Eric seconded the motion.  All in favor.
3. Richard and Laura Rain requested a refund of 4 capacities. Larry moved to grant the refund and Bob seconded the motion.  All in favor.  Seven Sisters paperwork for purchasing the capacities was not received by the District.  Paperwork for the refund and purchase of the hook-ups was also not received.  Table until September meeting.

Bob motioned to approve the budgets with no rate changes to be published as presented.  Larry seconded the motion.  All in favor.  Board reviewed the proposed revised budgets for 2020-2021.  Some line items were increased.  Eric motioned to approve the proposed revised budgets with revisions to be published. Bob seconded.  All in favor.
