Dick

Income
Report: Total water income for January was
$5241.14. Total net income after
expenses was $1926.02. A check will be
sent to AE2S in the amount of $5500 for preparation of Phase 2 of the water
project. The State of SD is requiring
an annual budget and also a Dunn & Bradstreet #...both will be sent to Ali
Demersemann to be sent in to the state.
Carol made a motion to approve the Income report, seconded by Beth and
approved 5-0.
Road
Report: None.
Water
Report: Ed reported that our losses for the month of
January were at 28%. (not
accurate). He also reported that the
water outage that happened on Feb. 8 & 9, was caused by 2 fuses that burned
out and melted a bunch of wiring. Some
residents had noticed that the light was on in the pump house on Friday, but Ed
was not notified until Sunday that the water tanks were empty. This is a failsafe that prevent it from
running water to the green tanks.
Morford & Sons was able to come up on Sunday and secured new fuses
and the drive appears to be unhurt.
Everything is running smoothly.
DENR
has requested that the Midwest Assistance Program do an update of our capacity
assessment by Jim Jones. This
determines how fit we are to sell water and will give them a complete rundown
of our whole system. There will be no
billing for this. Mainline would like
to replace the 3 valves at the #1 pump house for $8596.64. (Not if the current budget). AE2S thinks that this could be done
independently for around $5000. Ed
recommends to defer this project to another entity to complete at a later
date. Mainline has broken a nut off of
a valve at the top of Lark when trying to open the valve. They will give us an estimate to repair the
valve or replace. We will be open to
cost sharing this expense. Other
alternatives will be sought out.
The
board gave Ed permission to purchase a 100 gallon bulk chlorine tank in the
amount of $240. It will be stored at
the well house. Carol made a motion to
approve the purchase of the tank, seconded by Dick and approved 5-0. Ed also discussed creating a new billing
program as the meters are replaced. He
will bring a proposal of total cost breakdown to the March meeting.
Randy
made a motion to approve the Water and Project Report, seconded by Evan and
approved 5-0.
Old
Business: None.
New
Business: None.
Randy
motioned to adjourn the meeting with a second by Dick and the meeting adjourned
at
7:15PM.
Respectfully submitted by Carol Crozman, Recording Secretary
