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

The minutes of the 11 April 2005 meeting were discussed. It was noted that the Storage Tank is on an accelerated schedule and that is the schedule that we are about two weeks behind on. Mark Johns made the motion that we approve the minutes of the 11 April 2005 meeting. Mike Deck 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.

Mary noted that the bond interest has to be paid and the money should be transferred from Colotrust about a week before the end of May. She also noted that the tax money has not yet been received.

Mike discussed the surveying bills and noted that Bassett Construction should be responsible for the surveying regarding the storage tank.

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

• Frank summarized his report.

• We put in 12.0 hrs monitoring and 7.0 hrs maintaining the system from April 9, 2005 thru May 2, 2005.
• Took water sample for E-Coli lab test at the pump house. Chlorine measured 0.92 mg/l. Sample passed.
• Estimated water meter readings on 4-30-2005.
• In the middle of the month, weather permitting, we will be exercising an outlining fire hydrant and some of the buried system valves.
• Checked for a leak at 7420 Panorama Drive. The two sumps outside the house are draining more water than they previously had. We found no indications of a leak in our distribution system.
• Worked with Mike’s Backhoe repairing the air vent at the Lafayette meter pit.
• The Lafayette meter pit is the weakest and potentially most dangerous point in our system.
• Who is responsible for the as-built print on the new water tank?

Because the master meter vault is a confined space with residual water present this should be treated with the appropriate safety standards. Nick Bennett will research the appropriate safety standards and regulations applicable to such confined spaces. Mike has some info from the SDA on confined spaces, which he will provide to Nick.

It was noted that the constructor (Bassett) is responsible for providing the as built prints on the storage tank and the piping.

The schedule and procedure for exercising the valves was discussed. Frank and Dick will begin this after getting the print from Terry. Terry felt that a 4 to 5 year schedule should suffice. Frank also noted that he is keeping the existing drawings up to date.

Unfinished Business:

Water Tank Construction status and issues:

Mark reviewed the status of the construction project. The concrete has been poured and looks good. Frank and Mark are checking the joints and restraints. The piping is being done section by section. Bassett Construction believes that they will be able to adhere to the accelerated schedule finishing by the end of May.

Mike expressed concerns about surface features being contained in the outlot. Mike will look at the map and talk to Terry and make sure that surface features are contained in the outlot.

The added level indicators will be installed. A pull wire will also be installed in case any future wires need to be added.

Service to 275 Paragon Drive:

Rick will measure the appropriate distances for both the high pressure and low-pressure service.

New Business:

Mike noted that he receives many phone calls regarding water service to district homes that are being sold. A home at the end of Empire Drive may be interested in obtaining water from the district, which would entail an extension of a main line and the exercising of a reimbursement agreement.

Also, Mike had to provide clarification of our well on lot #61.

Director’s Comments:

Mike noted that some vandalism had occurred at the site. The matter has been resolved.

Mike also stated that a car had hit the retaining wall during the last snowstorm. No damage to the site occurred.

A motion was made to adjourn by Nick Bennett, seconded by Rick Moeller and unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 5:19 PM.

The above is respectfully submitted by the secretary…Bob Champ, May 10, 2005.
