The meeting was called to order by Mike Deck at 4:04 PM. Those in attendance were board members (Mark Johns, Nick Bennett, Rick Moeller and Bob Champ) and Water System Operators Frank Hauke and Dick Winters. No members of the public were present.

The minutes of the 14 March 2005 meeting were discussed. Nick Bennett made the motion that we approve the minutes of the 14 March 2005 meeting. Rick Moeller seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Mary Wagner had e-mailed the financial packet to the board (Balance Sheet, P&L ytd comparison, P&L budget vs. actual, transaction report). Also e-mailed were usage comparisons, the storage tank project expenses vs. budget, the storage tank expenditures and a cash flow worksheet. Mark will check with Mary to make sure that the cash flow is not going to be a problem.

Mark also noted that Terry still had not clarified the invoices from McLaughlin Rincon.

Frank summarized his report.

• We put in 4.0 hrs monitoring and 3.0 hrs maintaining the system from March 8, 2005 thru April 4, 2005.

• Took water sample for E-Coli lab test at The Barcelona Drive fire hydrant. We flushed the hydrant per procedure except for exercising the buried valve. Chlorine measured 1.29 mg/l. Sample passed.

• Read meters on 4-1-2005.

• There are 39 8" buried valves and 31 6" buried fire hydrant valves in the system. How often should we be exercising them?

• We have added a switch to change between the two buried tank water level probes that control input water valve. That is the only modification needed in the controls for the new tank.

• There is nothing to alert us if something should happen to the controls, probes or input valve that the new tank was not bring filled. We have several suggestions of what could be done about this problem.

• Boulder County sent a letter asking for any comments and suggestions on the document we use for the E-Coli lab sample.

The timing for exercising the valves in the system was discussed and Mark will check with Terry as to how often to do this. Also discussed were the hydrant flushing at the dead ends. It was decided to flush the dead ends twice a year and also measure to ensure chlorine is present. Frank also thought it would be a good idea to put a probe in the storage tank to assure the tank is being filled. Mark will contact Terry to see if other instrumentation should be included while the tank is accessible.

Unfinished Business:

Water Tank Land issues:

The land issues are finalized.

Water Tank Construction status and issues:

Mark reviewed the status of the construction project. With the recent snow, Mark thought it reasonable to have a soil analysis prior to pouring the floor of the tank. This will be done. He also noted that there was a change order to relocate the fill line. This would be in the form of a credit and it was thought to be the right thing to do. The project is now running about two weeks behind schedule.

Backflow Prevention:

The letter was sent out and some responses have been received.

New Business:

1. Frank will get water usage in Benchmark for their homeowners association so they may assess their community septic system.
2. The procedure to install meters was discussed. In all cases we will install the meter and obtain reimbursement from the customer. Water usage outside the district was also discussed.
3. Service to 275 Paragon Drive was discussed. Mark will talk to Terry regarding the cost of extending the low-pressure line. Rick will measure the distance involved and will also assess the trade off of going with the high pressure line.

A motion was made to adjourn by Nick Bennett, seconded by Rick Moeller and unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 5:26 PM.

The above is respectfully submitted by the secretary…Bob Champ, April 12, 2005.
