Approval of Minutes: Cyndie made a motion to approve the minutes, Meggan seconded and motion carried, minutes approved.
Financial Information: Meggan read the financial report for March. There were some charges that require more information, Cyndie is going to investigate. A vote to approve will be taken after she gets answers.
Public Input: Doug Byrne and Dusty will get together so Doug can sign the easement document for access to the portion of the water line that runs through his property.
Old Business:
Work on the well pumps has been completed, pumps have been tagged and Amy is working on providing as built and manuals as requested, Cyndie has requested the remaining balance of our grant.
The board discussed switching to monthly billing during the winter months that are currently billed quarterly. This was suggested so that we would be able to detect leaks earlier. Doug Byrne asked whether we could just read the meters monthly and still bill quarterly. This would save the expense of process the bills monthly and still enable us to monitor leaks. Dusty made a motion to read meters monthly and continue to bill quarterly. Michael seconded, motion carried and approved.
The board received a bid for continuation of work on the sewer system that was started in 2020. Cyndie will research how much was done and how much remains to be done before the board approves the bid.
The septic tank at the sewer lot has been pumped and invoice has been paid.
Cyndie has completed the SAM.gov 2025 website renewal.
New Business:
There was an alarm at the well house. Cyndie went to cancel it locally and followed up with a call to Mike Neeley to look at the telemetry system. He checked it out and said that the company was no longer in business and there was no support. He said it would be expensive to replace the system. The board is researching options.
Cyndie and Paula will post more no parking signs on the well lot fence.
Dusty and Michael will remove the shed on the well lot.
Adjournment: Paula made a motion to adjourn, Michael seconded and motion carried, meeting was adjourned.
