The meeting was called to order by Mike Deck at 4:07 PM. Those in attendance were the other board members (Mark Johns, Bob Farmer and Bob Champ) and a Water System Operator (Frank Hauke). Mary Wagner (Bookkeeper) was also present. No members of the public were present. Mike noted that he had e-mailed the ebcwd list and wanted to know if all had received the e-mail as some entries may not be receiving the mail. All present had received the e-mail.

Secretary’s Report:

The minutes of the 21 April 2003 meeting were discussed. Mike noted that we must review Article 11 of the rules and regs, which were repealed at the last meeting and see if we should reconsider portions of that article. Mark Johns made the motion that we approve the minutes of the 21 April meeting. Bob Champ 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.

It was noted that we have to pay the gen set (Rocky Mtn. LLP) after delivery. It was also noted that we have collected tap fees (2), which must be paid to Lafayette. These were not included in our budgeting process because of the drought. This means that at some point we must amend the budget because we will be expending more than appropriated. It is our feeling that we will do this after the June meeting so we can consult with our auditor (Dan Schwommer) who will be present at the June meeting for his report. Our records with respect to the Lafayette taps were discussed.

Frank reviewed the operator’s report, which was e-mailed to the Board.

They spent 4 hours monitoring the system and 17 hours maintaining the system from April 15th to May 15^th.

Chlorine level was measured at 0.57 mg/l, which passed.

The difference between water in and water out increased from 5.3% to 5.8% for the month.

The leak at 7562 Spring Dr. was repaired.

The air compressors were worked on (switch added, new check valve).

Meters were read on 4/30/03.

A metal detector may be borrowed from Mary Wagner’s water district (Baseline) for finding buried valves for the hydrants at 1027 Paragon Dr. and 7316 Empire Dr.

The pumphouse address is sometimes used (by Xcel), as 7515 Spring Dr. instead of 7493 Spring Dr. Mary will notify them to make the correction.

Because of a leak, which was ascertained to be the responsibility of the district and was paid for by Mr. Yaron an estimate was derived by Mary Wagner that notes that we should refund $913.75 to Mr. Yaron for water he erroneously paid for. Bob Farmer made the motion that we refund $913.75 to Mr. Yaron. The motion was seconded by Mark Johns and passed unanimously.

Mark Johns reviewed the progress on the Gen Set. The pad has been poured and the gas line is in. Mark will contact electrical contractors for wiring. The wiring diagram was received from Greg Scholl and was reviewed. In order to minimize down time wiring alternatives were discussed. It was decided to review these alternatives for minimizing down time with our engineer and get new drawings if required.

Mark will contact Rocky Mtn. Cummins to find out if they will place the gen set on the pad.

Water Storage

Rick Moeller and Mark Johns will get together with Dick Lyons so that easement negotiations for the Tank may begin.

Terry Kenyon is now employed with the new firm referenced above. Because of his involvement with the district from the very beginning and his vast knowledge of the district he was asked to introduce us to the new company. He reviewed the history of the old firm and the purchase of the firm by a larger Alaskan Firm. He noted the expertise of the new firm and gave an overview of the rates. We would receive a 10% discount as an on going customer.

It was decided that we should consider this firm for the design of the Water Storage Tank and obtain rates from them..

Lead/Copper testing will have to be done again by the end of June. The same ten sample locations will be used and we will add two more locations. Mike will order the bottles to give to Frank Hauke.

A billing discrepancy was discussed and a cancelled checks will be given to Mary which will resolve the issue.

A motion was made to adjourn by Mark Johns, seconded by Bob Farmer and unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 6:20 PM.

The above is respectfully submitted by the secretary…Bob Champ, May 20, 2003.
