Operations
System Meter: Charlie has received the new source meter and it is installed and functioning, although the data isn’t being transmitted to the SCADA system. He will contact Clayton at RH2 to see what he suggests for a fix.
Letter from DOH re parcel with septic violation: We received a letter from DOH and an anonymous group calling themselves The Members of Lake Wenatchee Water District which stated that there is a parcel near one of the wells with an unauthorized septic system. The permit for the system was never finalized and permit expired in 2009. Charlie determined the septic field is outside our sanitary circle of the wellhead, plus is downhill so he is not concerned about it affecting our water. He will contact DOH and advise them of this.
MIU return: Elaine has been in contact with Scott at HD Fowler, they are still working on getting the return authorized with Master Meter (both the 15 meters returned in Nov and the source meter).

Administration:
Options for remote meetings/canceled meetings: Discussion about how to handle meetings if the Covid-19 virus cancels public meetings. MRSC and the State recommend remote meetings, meaning the commissioners can Skype into the meeting if they are unable to attend. The public still needs to be allowed to attend, so if we move the location we need to post 24 hours in advance. But Bonnie or Elaine can set up a PC for the Skype meeting at the Fire Station. Public meetings are crucial as it the only way Commissioners can approve payment of invoices. Imprest will be increase to allow for payment of anything below $250 if a meeting is canceled. Bonnie will also see about getting a third key for the PO Box in case she or Elaine can’t make it into the post office.
