The meeting was called to order by Mike Deck at 4:05 PM. Those in attendance were board members (Rick Moeller, Nick Bennett and Bob Champ) and Water System Operators Frank Hauke and Dick Winters. Mary Wagner (Bookkeeper) was also present. Mark Johns was absent (excused). No members of the public were present.

The minutes of the 13 June 2005 meeting were discussed. Nick Bennett made the motion that we approve the minutes of the 13 June 2005 meeting. Bob Champ 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.

The district is adhering close to the budget on the major line items (50% at the half-year mark). The contract with Bassett is complete and the final check will be mailed after Terry publishes that the contract is complete. One item remains to be finalized. The drain to the ditch must be modified by concreting the drain in place. A meeting will be held between Mark, Terry, Bassett and the Ditch representative to finalize this item. The warranty period will run from the final payment date.

Mary made appropriate changes in the books so that they now agree with the auditor’s report.

The survey expenses (Jason Emry) have been given to Bassett. Also, the check to Mclaughlin is still awaiting clarification prior to issue.

Mary also noted that in the upcoming newsletter she would like to have customers note their customer codes on their payment.

• Frank summarized his report.

• We put in 5.0 hrs monitoring and 33.5 hrs, of which 29.5 hrs were on new tank, maintaining the system from June 7, 2005 thru July 5, 2005.

• Took water sample for E-Coli lab test at fire hydrant at 7302 Spring Court. Flushed hydrant per procedure. Chlorine measured 0.86 mg/l. Sample passed.

• Read water meters on 6-30-2005.

• We flushed an outline fire hydrant at 370 Paragon Dr.

• Fabricated, installed and wired up a light that will flash on and off when the water level in the new tank drops to dangers level.

• Checked in to a very low flow of water coming out of the road in Bench Mark. We think it is from ground water.

• Replaced the broken meter pit cover at 7289 Spring Drive.

• Several customers have re-landscaped putting the meter pit covers a foot or so below ground level. To work on the meter, the pit would have to be dug up. We think these customers ought to be informed that they will be responsible for doing this.

Unfinished Business:

Water Tank Construction status and issues:

The water tank is done and in full operation. Bassett was an excellent corporation to work with and will get a good recommendation from the district.

Service to 275 Paragon Drive:

Rick will measure the length of the extension necessary to service this property and inform Terry so that an estimate can be derived. Or, if convenient, Terry can measure when the meeting with Bassett, et.al. occurs.

New Business:

The Customer Confidence Report has been received from Lafayette and is available at their website or by contacting Bob Champ. Appropriate documentation has been sent to the Dept. of Public Health and Welfare. Because of the size of the district (<500 customers) we do not have to mail the CCR.

Maintaining the grass, etc. around the pumphouse and the master meter pit was discussed. The maintenance of the pumphouse landscaping will be coordinated with the lot owners once they develop the lot. The lot will be hydromulched once the work on the drain is accomplished and the new roof is put on the pumphouse. Mike will notify Mark to not start the hydromulch work until the drain and roof work is complete.

Nick reported on confined spaces (possibly the master meter vault and the lower level of the pumphouse). Our insurance agent was contacted and he noted that this is a non-issue with the insurance company. Lafayette was also contacted and a reply is pending. Also, Cherryvale Fire Department was contacted and their input was obtained.

Frank and Dick will look into venting the lower level of the pumphouse so that it is not defined as an enclosed space.

Mary looked into the possibility of renting a storage space for records. A 4 ft. by 7.5 ft. space rents for $35 a month a may be a possibility for the district.

Nick will make a draft of the upcoming newsletter and e-mail for feedback. Mike will write a synopsis on what to do regarding the district when you sell your house.

Director’s Comments:

A motion was made to adjourn by Nick Bennett, seconded by Rick Moeller and unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 5:03 PM.

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