the road study and the report should be sent to us later in August. There was no tax deposit for July.
Old
Business: The road leading to the well-house had a new
layer of gravel placed. Garry mowed and
weed-whacked around pump-house 1 and 2 and was reimbursed for the nice job he
did.
There
were no petitions submitted for the two vacancies on the board. Garry agreed to remain for another 3 year
term and Jim agreed to month-to-month servitude as secretary.
New
Business:
The board signed off on a new plat for the lot between Garry and Lance
Sieveke's lots. The existing lot
between their two homes will be divided and become part of the lots owned by
Garry and Lance. Garry and Lance also
wish to sell the water right that was bound to the old lot the next time a
water right is requested by a new build.
