MANAGER’S REPORT: Steve Horsmon presented the Manager’s Report

1. Water and Sewer billing completed for 2005-2006. Mary is entering meter readings as they are received and following up by phone or letter when readings are either missing or confusing.
2. We are continuing to pursue past due accounts. Searching county tax records is helping us find owners. Foreclosure process on 12-203/209 is nearing the last phase of Sheriff’s sale. Need to submit application of Sheriff’s Indemnity Bond.
3. Completed annual reviews for Deanna Snell and Jerry Rogers. To be discussed during Executive Session.
4. We plan to keep the Roll-off dumpster until October 15 this year.

1. New well project in 4^th Filing continues. Pump house addition is complete and Ralph Goble is installing underground power and pump controls. New pump for cistern #2 is complete. New manhole and all underground valve manifolds have been installed. Connection of the old cistern to the new cistern is in progress. The last 2 water tests (Fluoride and Cyanide) were submitted and have passed. Plan to activate new cistern #2 and pump by 9/30 while we modify and connect old cistern #1 per the engineering plan.
2. Continuing to work with the Larimer County Health Dept. on matching grant process for new leachfield engineering and design (total of $30,000). The pre-bid orientation meeting on Tuesday, 8/22 was well attended. Next meeting of the evaluation committee was held on 9/20 in Ft. Collins to review the submissions. The check for the matching $15,000 has been delivered to the Larimer County Health Dept.
3. New water tap for Filing 12, Lot 41 is to begin the week of 9/18/06. Met with Elkhorn Excavating and we will help provide proper materials and required inspections.
4. Performed a site visit for two pending taps at Filing 12, Lots 240 and 241. We are informing the contractor that separate septic tank and pump systems are required as well as separate service lines before tapping into the main sewer line at Mt. McConnell Dr.
5. The pump in the upper 8^th filing well burned out. Due to the valve we installed during the deep bury project last year, we are able to turn on the valve and fill the cistern. This will eliminate water deliveries to the upper 8^th cistern.
