The meeting was called to order by Mike Deck at 4:02 PM. Those in attendance were the board members (Mark Johns, Rick Moeller, Bob Farmer and Bob Champ) and the Water System Operators (Frank Hauke and Dick Winters). No members of the public were present.

Secretary’s Report:

The minutes of the 17 February 2003 meeting were discussed. Rick Moeller made the motion that we approve the minutes of the 17 February 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 handed out and discussed. The construction expenditure for $19533 was for the gen set. Bob Farmer also noted that we had $5000 more in assets at the end of February than the end of January.

Dick reviewed the operator’s report. They spent 20.75 hours monitoring the system and 6.5 hours maintaining the system from Feb. 11^th to March 10th.

Chlorine level was measured at 0.07 mg/l, which passed. Water sample also passed for e-coli.

The difference between water in and water out increased from 5.8% to 9.6% for the month. The change could have been caused by a major leak at 7494 Spring Drive, which was due to a frozen PRV and water meter. This will continue to be monitored, although it is well within limits ordinarily seen in such systems.

The pump house documentation has been received from MWE.

Meters were read on 3/1/03.

Fire hydrants were checked for leaks but nothing was found. Fiberglass insulation was put in 7 meter pits. An air compressor was repaired.

Operations and Maintenance Procedures were developed and handed out. These will be part of an operator’s manual.

Frank also contacted the Colorado Water Conservation Board and noted that nothing pertinent came of the phone call.

Mike obtained a Certificate of Insurance from Cummins for the Gen set and we were added as a named insured. Apparently this was only for liability insurance and Mike will check with them on their property insurance for the gen set.

The plans for the gen set installation have been received from MWE.

The building permit has been received from the county and it will be placed in the pump station. .

Our next step will be to obtain bids for installation of the concrete pad. Bob Farmer and Mark Johns had names of people that will be able to do this for the district. Bob F. will obtain estimates (2 or 3) by the next meeting. Bob will also contact Terry Kenyon regarding the placement of the electrical conduit (and a possible electrician to install) and the placement of the gas line with respect to the concrete pad.

The logistics of the installation was discussed. It was noted that the gas line is in the road so that replacement of pavement will be necessary.

Terry noted via e-mail that it would be most cost effective to install a 100K tank as opposed to going to a smaller tank and keeping the existing tanks.

MWE is also supposed to probe and stake the Steinhauer Leach Field. This will be necessary prior to negotiating easements with the Decks and Steinhauers. We will have to involve Dick Lyons (counsel) in this matter.

Mike noted that the pumphouse lot (lot#4) was to be sold via public auction on 8 April 2003.

Bob Farmer made the motion that we go into executive session pursuant to Section 24-6-402 (4) (a) for purposes of discussing the sale and/or purchase of the pumphouse lot (Lot #4 Panorama Park). The motion was seconded by Rick Moeller and the motion passed unanimously.

Bob Farmer made the motion that we come out of executive session. Rick Moeller seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Delinquent Water Bills

Bob Farmer noted that we have 3 delinquent water bills. These were discussed and it was decided that we should follow the rules and regulations and stop service to these accounts if necessary according to the rules and regulations.

Mike noted that we are covered for Terrorism insurance at no extra charge.

We received a form from the State regarding eligibility for Grants/Loans, which will be completed and mailed.

The auditor information has been mailed.

Information on another Engineering Company has been received.

A motion was made to adjourn by Bob Champ, seconded by Bob Farmer and unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 5:45 PM.

The above is respectfully submitted by the secretary…Bob Champ, March 18, 2003.
