Woodland Hills Sanitary
District
September 2014 Minutes
The
September meeting of the Woodland Hills Sanitary District was called to order
at 6:33pm.
In
attendance were: Randy Alexander, Dick
Helmstetter, Evan Hutchings, Carol Crozman, Beth Haivala, Ed Striebel, Lois
Lund and Brooke Stromer (AE2S).
Brooke
Stromer from AE2S and construction manager for the water project was in
attendance. Brooke talked about
progress on the water project. Mainline
(water project contractor) has asked to be able to work on Saturdays when the
weather during the work week delays their progress. The board voted 4 to 1 in favor of letting Mainline work on
Saturday, Sept. 13. Mainline will make
contact with homeowners along Bluebird to let them know that they will be
working and possibly shutting the water service off during the day. Brooke informed us that the work along
Bluebird has been difficult and each service line connection has been
different. There was also a lot of
discussion regarding the budget, and the give and take within the project. Brooke assured us that they are doing
everything possible to stay within the budget and still get most everything
done.
Secretary’s
Report: Carol read the minutes from the
August meeting. Dick motioned to
approve the minutes seconded by Evan and they were approved 5-0.
Income
Statement: Income was a plus
$3030.08. Lois reported that there are
3 new residents and 3 past due accounts.
Randy motioned to approve the Income Statement seconded by Beth and they
were approved 5-0.
Road
Report: There was a tax deposit made
into the Road account in the amount of $44.29.
Water
Report: Ed reported that the water loss
for August was 25 percent. Ed has
recommended that a paint chip from the exterior of the water tanks on Lark be
analyzed for lead. The cost will be
around $50. Ed will follow through on
this in September and give us the results at the October meeting. There have been numerous construction
project concerns. As pipe is being
uncovered they are finding lots of brittle pipe on Bluebird. They have also found that 3 or 4 out of 7
residences that rigid poly pipe was used on those service lines and that they
need 3 to 4 feet of flexible poly connected to the old rigid poly. He also reported that because of connection
issues, they may need to use the original and more expensive saddle replacement
instead of the less expensive ford clamp depending upon each residential
connection. This will affect our budget
depending upon how many they will actually need to change. It was also brought up (again) that we will
need to define who is responsible for the meter pits and curb stops in the
Woodland Hills bylaws. It was discussed
that the district will be responsible for their maintenance. No vote was taken. Randy motioned to accept the water report seconded by Carol and
they were approved 5-0.
Old
Business: There was discussion about
the Homeowners Association to enforce the covenants. Since the old Woodland Hills Community Association was dissolved
over 2 years ago, a new Association would need to be formed that could enforce
these policies. Carol motioned to
accept the old business seconded by Dick and they were approved 5-0.
New
Business: Evan made a motion to fill
out the paperwork to get on the State water agenda in January, Carol seconded
and was approved 5-0. New paperwork
will need to be filed to apply for additional State funding to continue and
finish the water project. Randy will
contact Ali for paperwork.
Randy
made a motion to adjourn the meeting with a second by Dick and the meeting
adjourned at 8:05PM.
Respectfully
submitted by Carol Crozman, Recording Secretary
