MINUTES:

A motion was made, moved and passed to approve the Minutes of December 3, regular meeting with the following corrections:

  • In Roads – ‘More material (road base) is needed from CR 510 to the corner of Sundance Circle.”
  • In Roads – Abernathy’s culvert still needs to be cleaned.

 

WATER REPORT:

A frost free hydrant froze and broke at 160 Brice Place (Wester).  Robert went out to turn off the water so they could fix the hydrant.  They caught it fairly quickly, should not be a large amount of water loss.

Grant for 1.2 million was applied for looping Riverfront, Pioneer Circle and Sundance Circle.  It will be a project for 2016. The plans call for approximately every 1000 feet for valves and hydrant separation. The pipe would be bid at C900.

On the current project Goff has the drawings done and will have the bid docs by the next meeting.  Plans are to award the bid in March.

Gary Skiba will get the lease to Steve to sign and then send it on to Davis for signing by Skywerx.  When it is returned Gary will get it to Marsha for the files.

ROADS:

Rex stated that he would like to have a change in the company who does repairs for the District’s water truck and grader.  Kurt’s Repairs is just too bus, at times, and he feels that Advantage Repair Service is less expensive and will get the work done more timely for the District.

  1. The heater cord was replaced and 2 tires.
  2. The diesel fuel tank is flowing OK now.
