MINUTES:   Max Beavers moved to accept the minutes for the Jaunuary 21, 2000 meeting. Justin Franz seconded the motion. Motion carried.

 

TREASURER'S REPORT: (See Attached) We should be able to produce our first set of financials, using the new computer system for the March meeting. So far, we have spent $17,000.00 for the new computer system. Dan suggested that we us a capital project spread sheet that would tie into the capital accounts to show that expenditures are made appropriately. In the Norwest account we have $150,000 dollars, we will transfer $23,400 dollars into a separate SIA account to be used specifically for the 12th filing Phase II Distribution System. Ralph Goble questioned the Glacier Viewpoint line item with an expense of $113.05 year to date, he also requested breakdown of costs and revenues, and the items are to be net.  Dan also requested that the General Funds line item year to date be broken down. Max Beavers moved to accept the financials. Dan Smedra seconded it. Motion carried.  Maggie Snyder drilled a well, and is no longer using the Cottonwood Hollow well; she is also current with her Water and Sewer dues account and is no longer required to ratify with the Water and Sewer Association.  There was some discussion as to whether Mrs. Snyder needed a water meter on her well, it was decided if she is part of our water augmentation plan, she would need to have the well metered by the year 2003.  Each month we will be provided with a Status of Collection/Foreclosures from our collection attorney, this document is of a confidential nature. We have collected $33,000.00 in past dues for both associations, to date.    

 

PROJECT STATUS REVIEW

 

RADIOLOGICAL TEST RESULTS / FILING 12 NO. 2 WELL: (See Attached) Prior to a well being used on a community system, it must fulfill state testing requirements. The 12th Filing NO.2 well has tested high in Goss Alpha, Gross Beta, Radium–226, and Radium-228 these test results have prevented the 12th Filing NO.2 well from being put into production. The Manager was instructed to investigate treatment methods, such as aeration and ionic exchange, and report back to the Board.       

 

FILING 12 / STORAGE TANK ISSUES: (See Attached) It was decided that M&M Tank will provide the proper epoxy seam-sealer to seal the overlapping seams that have separated inside the tanks. When the crew began repairing the tanks, surface preparation was deemed inadequate because they did not grid it down to bare metal, which would be necessary for the epoxy to adhere. We are taking pictures as the work progresses. We will also take samples of the metal flaking from the inside of the tanks and submit for testing. The possibilities of becoming a water district were again discussed.         

 

DEVELOPMENT OF PHASE II BID SPECS / MARK PETERSON:  Grant contacted Mark Peterson and requested an update of the bid specs and forwarded the redline copy to him. We have not heard back from him. Grant was instructed to contact Mark Peterson at home and then get the boilerplate back from him so we can send this job to various contractors to receive the necessary bids. 

 

MANAGEMENT ACTION ITEMS: (See Attached) Grant reviewed each action item that pertained to the Water & Sewer Association. We will be using a paging system to alert Kent or Scott for after hour emergencies. Recently Grant attended a Larimer County Board of Adjustments hearing regarding a propane staging area involving Poudre Valley Coop propane and Cottonwood Hollow, the Board opposes the proposed location and instructed Grant to campaign for a different location, possibly near the current fuel tanks or cabins at Cottonwood Hollow.  Ralph Goble moved that we oppose the propane storage facilities’ proposed location on the highway and suggested an alternative location by the fuel tanks. Max Beavers seconded the motion. Motion carried.   The water augmentation plan should be completed by next week. Ralph Goble moved to lease out 90% of our unallocated shares of water. Max Beavers seconded the motion. Motion carried.   Grant investigated the liability of employees using Association equipment and/or facilities, after normal working hours. Employees would need to sign a waiver that the Association would not be responsible for any injuries, which may incur while using Association property. In addition, the waiver would also need to contain language regarding the issue of not using drugs and/or alcohol while using Association property.

 

CORRESPONDENCE: (See Attached)  Mr. Eller’s lines have frozen up and he has been advised not to dig up the area until seasonal thaw conditions, as to protect our main system from any damage. The Association has offered to supply him with water and septic hauling over the next 2-3 months, at no charge, until temperatures allow better digging conditions. No response from Venables-Kyrk on the insurance claim letter.

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

HUDSON COMPLAINT: (See Attached) The decision was made to  wait until we hear further, regarding the Hudson’s intention in reference to  their defective pump and float system. No action taken by the Board at this time.

 

OLD BUSINESS

 

FORMATION OF BUDGET COMMITTEE: The Board instructed Grant to contact various individuals to serve on the Budget Committee, the following suggested were Keith Weeks, ex-officio member Dan Smedra, Mike Stone, Steve Kockeritz, Frank Winter, Lucille Schmidt, Jim Lasch, Jim Slewitzke, and Jeff Hatch. The first meeting will be early March and the budget hopefully will be ready for our Annual Board Meeting.
