Financial Information:<\/strong>\u00a0 The board is still waiting for most reports from the county.\u00a0 The\u00a0 board reviewed the reports from Robbie.\u00a0 Everyone is up to date with their bills.\u00a0 Robbie messaged Cyndie and Meggan 18 minutes before the meeting to say that the county had sent some of our financial reports.\u00a0 They look more like the financial reports they used to send.\u00a0 Meggan will look them over and let us know how much improvement has been made.\u00a0 They were from December 2025 through March of 2026.\u00a0 Robbie will go through all of them as well.\u00a0 Cyndie has set up a meeting with two county commissioners- to go over our issues with the financial statements.\u00a0 Cyndie, Meggan, hopefully Robbie and possibly Dusty will attend.\u00a0 The meeting is set for June 10 from 3-3:30 in the old Garlington, Lohn & Robinson Building.<\/p>\n

Public Input:<\/strong> None.<\/p>\n

Old Business:<\/strong>\u00a0 Cyndie called Amy from Great west to check on the status of the VFD’s for the well pumps.\u00a0 They are still waiting for pricing on the parts, they want to make sure that everything is compatible this time before they order any parts.\u00a0 As soon as they get the pricing on the correct parts they will submit the request for the emergency grant, she believes the grant will be approved.<\/p>\n

We had alerts on the new telemetry a few days ago, it was due to a brief blip in the power.\u00a0 Both Daniel Fultz (IMEG) and Cyndie had acknowledges the alarms.<\/p>\n

Booster tank replacement:\u00a0 Cyndie called Mickelson to see when the tank replacement would happen.\u00a0 They said that they were just informed that the tank was on the way and replacement is scheduled for June 16.\u00a0 Cyndie sent all of the booster information to Daniel and Dusty.\u00a0 Dusty thinks we are losing about 1\/3 of the water pumped from the booster station.<\/p>\n

The water line at one of the homes on the hill (Harmon house) had leaks and was replaced by Chris Rate.\u00a0 That repair could have an impact on the amount of water loss.\u00a0 The board will keep\u00a0\u00a0collecting data and see how we are doing after the line repair and the tank replacement.\u00a0 Robbie couldn’t read the meter because the radio had been removed from the house.\u00a0 Cyndie had the homeowner take a picture of the meter for her reading.\u00a0 If the radio cannot be found we can replace it, we have spares.<\/p>\n

The sewer line video is on hold, the manhole cover has been repaired.<\/p>\n

The person who Cyndie though might take over our website management may not be able to do so.\u00a0 We will keep looking for someone.<\/p>\n

Ordinance, By-law and Policy review:\u00a0 The board discussed the volume of papers we need to edit and decided it would make sense to do it in smaller chunks.\u00a0 We agreed to do the Ordinances first, and then decide what document to work on next.\u00a0 Once we have documents ready we will notify system users via an insert in their bill, make the new documents available on the website and hardcopies available for those who want them.<\/p>\n

New Business:\u00a0 <\/span>The board reviewed the operator contract with IMEG for system operator services.\u00a0 Dusty had some questions about an hourly rate sheet that they use for different professional services.\u00a0 Our contract specifies that all work shall be performed at $130.00\/hr.\u00a0 Cyndie asked Dusty to speak with Daniel Fultz and clarify the board’s position.\u00a0 Dusty asked the board to table the decision until he could speak with Daniel and clarify.<\/p>\n

New Insurance quote:\u00a0 The board received a quote for renewing the insurance policy for the next fiscal year.\u00a0 The insurance covers us for liability, property damage, etc.\u00a0 The policy cost increased\u00a0 by $21.00.\u00a0 Dusty made a motion to accept the quote, Paula seconded, motion approved.<\/p>\n

Completion of ARPA Grant:\u00a0 The board received final payment of $8601.45 of miscellaneous expenses and the project is complete.<\/p>\n

Sewer and Booster station mowing:\u00a0 Jeff Skelton is hoping to be able to mow Friday.\u00a0 Cyndie said she would go up the booster station to let him in let him in and take her weed trimmer up when he mows.<\/p>\n

Phillips 66 Drilling project:\u00a0 They are planning on drilling under the river and through our subdivision.\u00a0 We need to pay to have our water lines located.\u00a0 They have a utility easement that was granted before the subdivision was created.\u00a0 Cyndie called one of our system users, Steve Williams to ask who to contact for location services.\u00a0 He works as a line locater for the city of Missoula.\u00a0 He said that he could do it for water credits.\u00a0 He did a bunch of locating for us after contacting the engineers and looking at the plans for the project.\u00a0 The board agreed to 5 water credits.<\/p>\n
