Financial Information: Meggan read the financial report for September from the county. Corrections have been made and our bookkeeper Brennan confirms that our books are correct. Dusty made a motion to approve the financial report, Paula seconded. Motion carried and minutes approved.
Public Input: Barb and Mike Harrison came to the meeting to discuss changes to the curb stop after the board made corrections to the system to comply with DEQ regulations. They had a curbstop that had serviced their property from the Caras well before they had connected to the Sunny Meadows system. It was removed as part of the correction of the shared curbstops that were a violation of DEQ water safety regulations. A motion to replace the curbstop was made, it was tabled until the board could research the legal issues and revisit to make a decision.
Old Business: The correction for shared curbstops that were discovered during the system upgrade has been completed.
The contractors had to return the new pumps for the well lot as the motors were not compatible with our system. New pumps have been ordered and will be replaced within the next two weeks. Mike Neeley came to the rescue and reprogrammed our new system to use the old pumps until the new pumps arrive and are installed.
The No Parking zone signs from MDT have been placed on Sunnyside. We are hoping to also get them placed on the highway.
New Chlorinator: Amy Deitchler from Great West is looking for a new chlorinator for us.
New Business: DEQ lead service line survey- Andy had told Cyndie that he did not have time to do the lead service line survey. Cyndie hired Tammy Quinn to complete the survey. Then Andy told Cyndie he had someone do the survey, but he had not told her before he did it. Michael made a motion not to pay for the second survey, seconded and passed.
Budget: The board will complete the budget projections at the next meeting.
Adjournment: Paula made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Meggan seconded. Motion carried, meeting adjourned.
