Old Business:
Cyndie and Paula met with Northwestern Energy and Neely Electric at the well lot. Neely will look into the permitting for the building and should get approval to begin construction. Northwestern Energy will also give us an estimate for running gas service to the lot in case we install a generator.
The board decided to handle the sod contracting for restoration of the O’Connor property and will submit the paperwork for payment.
The board received a bid from MickelsonPlumbing for piping in the well house.
We have one household that has one meter that is no meter and is inoperable. Cyndie has found them an irrigation contractor to repair the line and Mickelson will install a meter and two touchpads.
I think that is all I saw. Thank you!
Amy from Great West said we should have fencing and signage for the well lot soon.
Cyndie, Paula and Julissa will begin installing and activating radios on Friday.
