There were 4 unpaid accounts for July and 5 past due from June.

Water Report: Clearwater Consulting worked with Brandon Powles to track down and repair a leak on Nuthatch Lane. Brandon has not submitted a statement for his expenses so we don't yet know the cost of the repair.

Road Report: The road district received a tax deposit of $44 and the account has a balance of $29,552.

Old Business: The board decided to cancel the 2020 annual picnic because of the lingering COVID-19 virus. Sharing utensils at the potluck-style picnic could spread the virus.

New Business: Garry discussed a plan for improving the condition of Lark Lane with residents Gary Hansen and Walt Pogorelski. The residents of Lark Lane will be invited to review the plan and cost-sharing over the fall and winter. The plan calls for the board to share in the rehab cost because it has the meeting hall on Lark.

Board member comments: None.

Resident comments: None.

The board adjourned the meeting at 7:06pm.

Carefully written up to the best of his ability by Jim Stewart with help from the board members in attendance.
