Income
Report
June
highlights:
Water
Report: On June 16 the chlorine pump
failed. The backup was installed and
the old one is being examined to see if it can be repaired. If not the board authorized the purchase of
a new backup pump (about $500).
On
June 20 the SCADA system notified Dylan
that the main well pump could not be started.
Dylan started the backup well and Dakota Bice Drilling was called to
pull the pump and motor. The pump
thrust bearings had failed and a new pump and motor was ordered which was
installed on Friday, July 15. Tests of
the main well were conducted on Monday July 18 and it was put back into
service. No water outage took place.
At
that same time Dylan noticed a marked increase in water usage and tracked a
nine gallon per minute leak to a resident's home. An outdoor faucet was the cause and the leak could be stopped by
shutting off the faucet. Repairs were
made within a few days and the board approved a credit of the monthly water
bill to the previous monthly average amount.

Road Report: A tax deposit of $3,822.67 was received in June.
Old
Business: One nominating petition was received so
there was no need for an election.
Jared Nooney is the newest board member and his term will run until July
2025. Garry Colasardo will stay on for
a another three year term and Jim Stewart has left the building.
The
board got an estimate of $349, 925 from Simon to patch, overlay and chip seal
Woodland Drive. The overlay would
extend from the entrance of Woodland Hills to near 9005 Woodland Drive. A chip seal would cover the remainder. The road account has a balance of
$50,817. Simon estimated an increase of
the project cost of about $40,000 to $50,000 for next year. The board will seek resident's comments on
how to proceed. Over a five year period
the cost would be about $60 per month per resident over those five years.
New
Business: The board decided to seek an RSVP from
residents (via email) on whether to hold a picnic this year.
A
discussion was held regarding how best to handle complaints from residents
regarding camper parking and barking dogs.
Emails will be sent to the residents.
The board agreed that talking to neighbors first would be the preferred
process.
