BOARD MEETING was called to order at 6:00 p.m. by Board Chairman Jim Osman.  Other Board members present were Eric Paull, Bob Thurston, Larry Ellis and Cliff Sires.  Employees present were Tanner Weisgram, Colleen Johnson, and Laura Dallas.  There were no members of the public in attendance.

INDIVIDUALS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD:

• 6:15 pm           Brett Converse, JUB (Called he will not be in attendance)

 

ADDITIONS TO AGENDA: Less than 48 hours prior to the meeting

1. Under Old Business add the Cottages Homeowners Association regarding the timeline and placement of the offshore line.

Minutes:  Laura let the Board know that the Minutes presented at May’s meeting was actually from March and not April’s minutes.  The District Clerk was not present at the May meeting; therefore April meeting minutes did not get submitted for approval at the May meeting.  April meeting minutes and May meeting minutes were presented at tonight’s meeting and approved as presented.

Financial Statements:  Financials as presented were approved.

Maintenance Report: The Maintenance Report was approved as submitted.  Land application usually does not start until July.  Heavy rains may delay the application.  Operations completed 154 locates.  Many of these cover several blocks due to boring.  (Ziply, Vyve, Ting are just a few companies that request long locates.)

 

OLD BUSINESS:

1. Brett Converse from JUB was not in attendance. There were no updates regarding the NPDES.
2. The Cottages – Homeowners Association (CHA): Tanner had reached out to 3 Amigo’s for general information regarding boring for possible deep lake outfall. Received some information for a discussion point only.  Price of pipe would be 2-4” at $25.00 per foot or 8-10” at $40.00 per foot. Tanner will get best size of pipe confirmed – 8” or 10”. Board discussed starting project with the just the irrigation pipe.  District to send a sample of what the easement would look like to the CHA.  Brett to look into the price of an easement as a lump sum.  Tanner will be checking into pipe size for cost.  The Cottages Homeowners Association will be on July’s agenda for further discussion.
3. Review of New User Facility Fee rate and structure. Need to make clear that this is for the adjustment of the New User Facility Fee (NUFF) only. Discussed structure for developments and projects. Discussion only, no action has been taken.  Points of Discussion: For developments or projects, especially those taking a significant amount of time to complete, possibility of the District accepting a substantial deposit with balance due upon connection.  Other discussion points:  1) retain a portion of deposit for administration fees should project not be completed and balance of deposit returned; 2) have a contract with the District in place and recorded.  All NUFFs must be purchased at building permit. Lot splits would no longer require the purchase of additional NUFFs until building permit, not at split. Change in ownership would require partial NUFFs to be paid in full.  NUFF contracts with partial payment are not transferrable. Discussion around Sewer Main Extension developments:  will they require a full NUFF paid for all lots or will they fall under vacant lots with no NUFF until building permit.
4. Assignment of Capacities for 53 and 55 Emerald Industrial Park Drive. P & D Development.  Assignment was approved and signed.
