MINUTES:
A motion was made, moved and passed to approve the Minutes of November 2, 2016 regular meeting as written.
WATER REPORT:
Robert Ludwig, Water Operator, he was not sure why the water loss was so high but that the meter is working properly. It could be due to power outages or perhaps theft. It is a lot of water to be missing. He will keep trying to find the reason for the loss, but at this time there is no ‘new’ lake showing up in the subdivision. There are still two hydrants that need to be installed but we are waiting for the application for the District to fill out in order to purchase them. Marsha would like to wait until after the first of the year as the budget for 2016 has already been amended and the numbers were not included for that. She will double check but would rather wait until after 2016 to purchase the hydrants.
Loan Requisition form for the balance of the CWAPA Loan has been sent in and payment should be forthcoming. A motion was made, moved and passed stating that Williams Construction has been approved for final payment and the project approved for completion. Bonds Construction will be paid by Williams Construction as the General Contractor of the project.
