The meeting was called to order by Mike Deck at 4:05 PM. Those in attendance were the other board members (Mark Johns, Bob Farmer, Rick Moeller and Bob Champ) and Water System Operators (Frank Hauke and Dick Winters). No members of the public were present. Terry Kenyon (Water Engineer) showed up later in the meeting for the Water Storage discussion.

Secretary’s Report:

The minutes of the 16 June 2003 meeting were discussed. Rick Moeller made the motion that we approve the minutes of the 16 June meeting. Mark Johns seconded the motion, which was approved unanimously.

Finance Report:

The balance sheet, profit and loss by fund, profit and loss ytd comparison and P&L budget vs. actual (Operating) were e-mailed to the board by Mary Wagner and discussed. Except for the Lafayette tap fees, which were not budgeted for, everything appears to be in the expected range. Our record retention policy was discussed and Mike will contact Dick Lyons regarding our policy. Delinquent payment of water bills was discussed in some detail. Mike will contact the Sheriff regarding a procedure for turning off water as specified in our rules and regulations.

Frank reviewed the operator’s report.

They spent 4.75 hours monitoring the system and 12.5 hours maintaining the system from June 10^th to July 13^th.

Chlorine level was measured at 1.08 mg/l, which passed.

Meters were read on 6/30/03. High grass and weeds make location of some meters difficult, causing an increase in time to read the meters. This time it took 2.5 hours.

Water in / Water out this month decreased form 4.5% to 4.1%. A spreadsheet was e-mailed with the data. Booster pump data was also e-mailed to the board. A meter test was run and it was noted that a slow leak would not register on the meter (on the order of 100g/day).

Water was also pumped out of the Lafayette main meter pit. Frank and Dick could not identify any leaks. The cover was modified for easier removal.

Lead and copper samples were collected at 10 homes and turned in to the laboratory for analysis. One sample tested high for lead. Mike will find out from the state what we do with respect to this data point.

An owner inadvertently caused a leak at his meter, which he contracted out for repair.

Panorama Park records retention was also discussed.

Mark Johns has contracted for electrical work on the gen set with Hale Electric for $8695. Equipment is on order and everything is here except for a large panel, which is on special order. This should be received by the end of the month at which time work can commence. After installation we decided that we should have MWE (preferably Dan Petramala) check the installation. After installation, Rocky Mtn. Cummins will start up the unit and train the operators on its use.

Water Storage

Terry Kenyon presented a preliminary site plan for the tank location on the Deck property. The geometry of the tank was also discussed. It was noticed that this location does not impact the Steinhauer property (although a survey will have to be done). The plans were given to Mike so that he could discuss with his wife regarding the specific location and driveway placement. It was noted that we could progress with a soil test. A motion was made by Bob Farmer that we authorize Mark Johns to contract for a soil test, not to exceed $2500, contingent on the Decks okaying, in principle, the location of the site. Rick Moeller seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

After obtaining the soil test the negotiations for the easement can begin. Rick and Mark will contact Dick Lyons (legal) regarding the negotiations. Construction time would be on the order of four months. Plumbing of the Storage tank was discussed in some detail. Terry thought that only one pipe would be necessary. Frank and Bob brought up the air aspiration problems noted previously. We will guard against this problem recurring with the new storage facility.

A motion was made to adjourn by Bob Farmer, seconded by Rick Moeller and unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 6:08 PM.

The above is respectfully submitted by the secretary…Bob Champ, July 22, 2003.
