The meeting was called to order by Mike Deck at 4:03 PM. Those in attendance were the board members (Mike Deck, Bill Barclay, Bob Farmer, Bob Champ and R. A. Ristinen) and Terry Kenyon (Engineering). Dick Lyons (Legal Counsel) was absent. Mary Wagner was present during the treasurer’s report. No members from the public were present at the meeting.

Secretary’s Report:

The minutes of the 21 August 2000 meeting were discussed. A motion was made by Bob Ristinen that we approve the minutes of the meeting. The motion was seconded by Bob Farmer and approved unanimously.

The minutes of the 30 August 2000 special meeting were discussed. A typographical error was noted in the public comments and the minutes were so amended. A motion was made by Bob Farmer that we approve the minutes of the meeting as amended. The motion was seconded by Bob Ristinen and approved unanimously.

Treasurers Report:

Mary Wagner handed out a balance sheet, profit and loss year to date comparison, profit and loss by class and profit and loss budget vs. actual with the % of budget remaining.

Mary Wagner reported that the interest payment on the bonds was not included in our current budget. The interest payment is made twice a year and is on the order of $10K per month. It is doubtful we will spend all the engineering and contracting monies budgeted so that we should remain solvent.

Engineering Report:

Terry Kenyon discussed the draft plans of the district. He has gone over them with Lafayette (Brad Downs) and the plans are on schedule to obtain bids (pipeline portion) by the end of October. The pumphouse was separated out of our discussion because the bids on this portion of the work will follow the pipeline portion of the work. It was decided that we would have a special meeting (30 October 2000) for the final approval of the bids and the awarding of the contract for the work. As of this point we are still on schedule for water to the district on 1 June 2001. Terry is still planning to issue a memo stipulating the need for added water storage capability (about 100,000 gallons). The cost of such a tank (installed) would be about $1 per gallon.

Terry then reviewed the pipeline blueprints of the district. Benchmark has relayed through Bill Barclay that they will give us the easements and pipelines but that they wish to retain ownership of their well for possible irrigation purposes. Terry has information on installed meters. The type of meter the district will install is still under consideration. The blueprints will become more detailed in the next two weeks.

The blueprints were reviewed by the board members to address any mistakes on inclusions and exclusions, pipeline easements and pressure zones. Discussion also included the possible location of the large tank (100,000 gallons) for water storage. Bill Barclay will discuss possible location sites with Benchmark (e.g. The cul-de-sac island, outlots). Also discussed were possible looping pathways with Lafayette to minimized dead zones. Location of fire hydrants was also discussed. Routes of the pipeline through Apollo were discussed and Terry will contact Michael Yaron to further discuss the Apollo situation.

Also discussed was the installation of a fireflow pump in the pumphouse. Such a pump could be a 750 to 1000 gpm diesel driven pump. Also discussed was a back-up generator to assure water delivery during power outages. The electrical power issue to start such equipment is being reviewed by Terry.

It was decided that we would hold a special meeting on Monday, 2 October 2000 to approve the final set of documents to be sent out for bids.

Request for Inclusion (Relin/Schwartz Property):

We have received a request for inclusion for this property. Bob Ristinen made the motion that we schedule an inclusion hearing in our regular November meeting. Bob Farmer seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Selection of Budget Officer:

Bill Barclay volunteered to become the budget officer. He will have a budget for the November meeting.

Rules and Regulations:

Bob Ristinen took the hand outs of other district’s rules and regs (including Lafayette) and will fabricate a draft document from these for our district. A rough draft should be available for the October regular meeting.

Database Management Systems:

This issue was tabled to the next meeting.

Review and Approve September Newsletter:

The newsletter was handed out for the board’s perusal. Comments should be e-mailed to Mike in the next couple of days.

Status of Negotiations with Panorama Park, Benchmark and Apollo:

Plans for dissolution should be put in place. Dick Lyons should advise on how this can be accomplished.

Appointment of Watkins and Schommer (Dan Schommer) as Auditor:

A motion was made by Bob Farmer that we appoint Watkins and Schommer as our auditors and allow Mike Deck and Bob Champ the necessary authority to effect this appointment. Bill Barclay seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Director’s comments:

Mike has been in contact with a lot owner who is currently outside the district and would be difficult/costly to serve. It was decided not to encourage inclusion of this lot.

Adjourn:

A motion was made to adjourn by Bill Barclay, seconded by Bob Farmer and unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 6:39 PM.
