Water & Sewer Association

  1. Stantec Consulting is continuing work on the Preliminary Design of the wastewater treatment project. Soils and percolation tests were done on 3/20/07. An environmental impact study is currently being discussed. The Wastewater Utility plan is to be complete by the end of March. I need to push Stantec on the evaluation of funding sources.
  2. Well #1 in the 4th Filing water system began leaking at the pitless adaptor on 3/20/07. We need to excavate and repair immediately. New well #2 is currently picking up the entire demand.
  3. 4th Filing pump house carpentry modifications are complete. Will begin final plumbing and electrical changes next week.
  4. As a part of on going education of Board members, included in the Board packet are 1. Origin and appropriate use of GVM greenbelts. 2. Articles from Community E-ssentials: a) Who does "our" Attorney represent anyway? b) Common collection terms.

On the subject of item A: The manager told the board that Ed Schemm of the Larimer County Health Dept informed him that if Glacier View Meadows converts from an "ineligible entity" to an "eligible" entity (Improvement District) we may be eligible for additional grants and or low interest rates for the wastewater treatment project. Steve will meet with Ed Schemm and Rex Burns later next week to discuss our options.

APPLICABLE COMMITTEE REPORTS:

  1. None

OLD BUSINESS:

  1. Wastewater project: See manager’s report

NEW BUSINESS:

  1. Nominating Committee Chair appointment:
    Randy Mae moved to appoint Linda Carroll as Nominating Committee Chairman. Unanimous-motion passed.
  2. Budget Committee Chair appointment:
    Jerry Ryan moved to appoint Cal Bruxvoort as Budget Committee Chairman. Unanimous-motion passed.
  3. Saddle Creek Ranch Agreements vs. new subdivision plans:
    The manager asked the board what their position is on agreements made with the Saddle Creek Ranch sub-division. The Board discussed the fact that agreements made between the board and Mr. Weixelman are for the Saddle Creek Ranch sub-division only. Since the property is now being marketed as Saddle Creek Land and is in 35+ acre parcels, all prior agreements should be null and void. Jim Petrie moved that since there has been a change in the sub-division plan, prior agreements are no longer applicable and all motions that make reference to the Saddle Creek Ranch sub-division shall be rescinded. Unanimous- motion passed.

PUBLIC INPUT: None
