Financial Information:  No November finalcial report recieve from county.  Meggan and Julissa spend a lot of time catching up past financial information.

Linode charge for website has been charged monthly, board would like to pay yearly with credit card.  

Annual financial report to the state:  Recent years have been a long version.  Since we are a small district, we should be able to do a more streamlined version.  This has been done, submitted and approved.  Julissa has bee a great help.

Meggan is working on a template for the yearly budget.  

Public Input: None.

Old Business:

Cyndie spoke to Anna Miller with the State Revolving Fund to ask about help with our loan.  Anna wants to meet with Cyndie and Andy to go over loan paperwork.  There may be a chance when the loan paperwork is completed to get partial loan forgiveness on the existing loan.  The paperwork needs to be completed sometime next spring.

There was a discussion of the tool use that was brought up at the last meeting.  Homeowners have access to shut off water to their house at the curb box using tools that belong to the district.  However, this requires getting in touch with board members which is not always possible at short notice.  Homeowners can also have their own tools to shut off the water service at the curb box.  Most system members should be able to shut off inside most residences.  The concern came from one of the homeowners who have more than one meter. one for water inside the house and one for outside of the house for irrigations.  It is probably not a concern for most system users.

Easement documents are being processed and mailed to the District P.O. box.

Paula is working to post photos of the sewer system maintenance project.  Michael may also try to post the photos on the home page.

New Business:

Julissa is currently working from home and lives outside fo Missoula.  The board is looking at enabling digital signatures of board members to facilitate submission of documents to the coundy.  Michael was asked to research options for this.

Adjournment:

Dusty made a motion to adjourn, Cyndie seconded, motion carried, meeting adjourned.
