Roll

Bobby Sadler established that a quorum existed to conduct the meeting. In attendance were Lois Lund, Ed Streibel
and board members Jim Stewart and Garry Colasardo.
Adoption
of Agenda: Bobby
presented the agenda to the board. Jim
added one item to the agenda and it was unanimously adopted by the board.
Secretary’s
Report: The
July minutes were reviewed. Bobby made
a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Jim and the vote was 3-0 to
approve.
Income
Report: Net
income for June was $5,667. Meter
deposits were received from two new residents.
Water
Report: Water losses for July were 9.9
percent. Ed was able to sell our old
Devar controller for $600. The
chlorinator pump needed some minor repairs.
Rich
Rairdon had called Jim over the previous weekend reporting that High Meadows
was out of water wondering if Woodland Hills was at risk? The problem in High Meadows turned out to be
well pump related. With regards to that
Ed looked at some history for our wells.
The system has two wells with the "old" well drilled when the
subdivision was first created. The
second or "new" well was drilled in 1992 and now serves as our
primary source of water.
The
old well has an air check line which allows Ed to check the water level using
air pressure. The old well taps the
Madison aquifer and the pump is at a depth of 648 feet with about 70 feet of
water over the pump. The water level
has dropped about 14 feet since April 2016.
The
new well pump sits at 714 feet and taps the Deadwood aquifer. The air line does not function but when the
well was last worked on in 2008 the pump had about 364 feet of water above
it. The new well pump was replaced in
2008 and has an approximate lifespan of 10 years. The board asked Ed to talk to Taylor Drilling on a price for
replacing the pump, the stand pipe that pumps uses and the air check line. The pump itself cost $3,108 in 2008.
Ed
will introduce Matt Anderson at the September meeting. Matt will be working Ed and taking over some
of his tasks.
Road
Report: The road account has a balance of
$22,500. Bobby signed and delivered contracts
to have road repairs performed by B&H Asphalt and that work should be
completed by October.
Old
Business: Jim got a bid of $2,000 to paint the Lark
Lane building. Bobby made a motion to
accept the bid, 2nd by Garry and the vote was 3-0 passing the motion.
New
Business: A discussion about paying board members was
re-examined. Evan has mentioned to Jim
a state law, SD codified 47-23-29, which states that any volunteer, of a
governmental entity are immune from civil liability in any action brought in any court in this state on the
basis of any act or omission resulting in damage or injury if:
(1)
The individual was acting in good faith and within the scope of such
individual's official functions and duties for the governmental entity; and
(2)
The damage or injury was not caused by gross negligence or willful and wanton
misconduct by such individual.
If
board members are paid then that immunity from liability would be at risk and
the board would have to purchase liability insurance for the trustees. No further action on board member payment
was held.
Jim
purchased six folding tables from Sam's Club for $240. The tables are being stored at the Lark Lane
building.
