USFS Permit

Commissioner Harris updated us on his meeting with USFS personnel, with Thomas Leake of RH2 on 9/24 at the proposed tank site.  The Forest Service has taken a dim view of constructing a road through the forested area up to the tank location; they feel there might be a better option across private lands.  They did not appear to be understanding when Commissioner Harris expressed that property owner(s) would not grant us an easement. They agreed that we would flag the area of the desired road and tank location so they could evaluate the terrain and wildlife before the snows hit.  Shawn Fitzpatrick was flagging the area during our meeting.  Once the Forest Service reviews the flagged area, they will then determine if there is enough time for botanist to do field work before winter – if not, we might have to postpone construction for another year.  We are hoping that won’t happen, and will remain in close contact with USFS,

 

1:00pm, meeting continued to 5:30pm at the District office.

5:30pm, meeting reopened – Commissioner Harris, Commissioner Klasell, Barbara Harris, and Karen Dickinson in attendance.

There was discussion on how to pay for the $3000.00 insurance premium.  Commissioner Klasell pointed out that we will have more cash flow now that we are billing and bringing in an income.  She presented a Treasurer and a cash flow report which backed this up.  The commissioners decided to pay the full amount by October 1st rather than spread the payments out and pay interest.

Commissioners signed the warrants, vouchers, payroll and A19 documents which were prepared and presented by Commissioner Klasell.

Commissioner Bohn was asked if he would transfer the secretary duties to Commissioner Klasell so she can be compensated for her extensive work for the district on the accounts payable. Commissioner Bohn gave approval.

Status of Homestead Well

There was much discussion on the Homestead well pump house.  Karen Dickinson presented her issues and concern.  She also indicated that she thinks the options are workable and possible to achieve without too much frustration.  Karen agreed to a 12 by 16 building, with no attic, no windows.  Karen will find out the requirement (fireproof, etc)   She will prepare a plan and estimate soon to be sent to the Commissioners to review before the next meeting to have built a shell building without a floor but a footing.  It was agreed that her detail plan for the commissioners would be reviewed by Karen Kornher, RH2, for compliance to state and county building codes as well as engineering requirements for electrical and plumbing clearances that will be performed by the prime contractor at a later date.

No minutes from previous meeting were presented as Clerk Kinney is out of town.  They will be submitted at the next schedule meeting.

 Commissioner Klasell motioned to waive the $25 late fee on bills until January 2013, motion passed.

The approved Franchise Agreement was received back from the county; it has been scanned and emailed to all commissioners for their files.

The USFS Permit was filed in 8/17/12 by RH2, but our contact person at the USFS (Amelia) is out of the office until September 10th so we don’t know if much will be started on it before then. In addition, the Federal Government year-end is 9/30/12, so there is a chance it won’t be started until after 10/1/12.

 Mountain Park: Charlie presented his options for immediate improvements to the Mountain Park well house and source.  Insulating one main pipe should be dealt with before winter, and the pressure needs to be reduced as it’s currently exceeding the amount allowed on the pressure tanks.  Charlie and Lan will get together to put a bead of silicone/caulk around the cover to the well head to create a sanitary seal for the time being.

Commissioner Klasell motioned to have Charlie install a 2” meter from Whispering Pines storage at the well head, motion passed.

Discussion ensued as to how to proceed with regards to system improvements to Mountain Park. Based on the opinion of our attorney, Mark Peterson, we feel Mountain Park will remain a Class B system as there are only 13 parcels involved in the LID and we are going to do the improvements outlined in the comp plan – improve well house, well head and install mainline pipe/meters as part of Phase I, and they will be connected to the entire system in Phase II.  Commissioner Klasell will contact Karen K at RH2 about getting a scope of work for surveying and have Fitzpatrick submit an additional survey contract for approval.

Homestead Well: To try and avoid confusion, we are now calling the new well drilled on Karen Dickinson’s property the Homestead Well.  The 24 hour well test has been scheduled for Sept 11th & 12th.

Karen D. was presented the design for the 20×20 well house that Karen K. designed, and she is not willing to accept a building that large.  She will contact Karen K. directly to see what can be done to make the building smaller and meet her requirements in the MOU of a 12×12 building.

Insurance

 Dwight Burke emailed that he has received our renewal packet and Karen D had also received/forwarded to commissioners for review; Commissioner Harris was concerned that he didn’t see coverage for board members on acts prior to Aug 1, 2012 included.  In addition, we would like to see what payment plans are available to avoid using our limited funds. Commissioner Klasell will contact Dwight and hopefully will have answers to these questions at the next meeting.

Easements

The easement to allow access to the upper area through lots 3 and 4 has been given to lot 3.  They still are having some difficulties getting it notarized, but Commissioner Harris has told them to sign at their convenience as we won’t need until next spring.

Other Business

One customer has contacted the district; he requires a water availability certificate for his lot.  Commissioner Klasell was authorized to prepare, sign, and send him a form.  Another customer with two lots but with only one drawing water asked if the second lot has to pay the base fee; customer will be advised that base fee is per connection and he is responsible for both connections.  It is the LID cost that will be applied based on parcel number (lot).  Also, a forest service parcel has asked when the final assessments will be determined and when they’ll need to decide to pay in full or make monthly payments; customer will be advised that will be determined at the end of construction.

Mark Peterson explained the water right transfers and the difficulty that may occur because the exact location of the Brown Road well and the LWWU well were not put in the exact location.  He pointed out that the water right process has to be dealt with and can get expensive.  He recommended submitting the transfer document for all the water rights at the same time as one document.

Commissioner Harris opened the meeting at 10 am and acknowledged a quorum existed.

Dan Bannier from Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) presented  a Powerpoint presentation discussing how water rates are determined.  The meat of the presentation is that first a budget is proposed and accepted by the Commissioners then from that the rates are set such that the district will have enough funds to pay the bills plus have a reserve amount which is required by the State.  The $39.00 base rate is a little on the low side but the Commissioners felt that we should start there which will pay the bills and maintain the reserve.  The average base rate for most districts is around $50.00.

The floor was then opened to the public for any questions they may have.  There were a few questions that were answered by either the commissioners, Mark Peterson (our Lawyer) or Dan Bannier.

One of the questions asked was if the district had to have a public meeting before raising rates.  Mark and Dan both answered that there is no requirement to do so but the Commissioners said that would probably would have a public meeting as a courtesy.

Commissioner Harris called for a short break.  Any of the guests that wanted to leave could.

Startup Process

The commissioners reviewed the final transfer resolution.  There was one change designating Jim Ratley as Treasurer of WPWUA instead of Secretary/Treasurer.

The commissioners reviewed the Association easements and water right transfer documents. At the time of the meeting there is some doubt whether Lester Additions has a water right.  They have a water certificate.  Mark Peterson will do more work on the issue before the next meeting.  He will be able to attend the July 26, 2012 meeting for the signing of transfer documents.

Commissioner noted that the insurance negotiations are done.  We are waiting for our renewal.

There was much discussion with Mark Peterson regarding what the individual associations should do with regards to shutting down their operation.  Mark felt that rather than completely shut down to moth ball operation by continuing to pay the $10.00 license fee to the State.  Because of the insurance issue, he felt no more decisions should be made and the board for each association should disband.

Quickwater software: Commissioner Klasell pointed out that it has not arrived.  Clerk Kinney will contact them and get it resolved.

Vouchers

Commissioner Klasell submitted A-19 Voucher #5 for $27,356.93 to pay the bills. Commissioners signed, along with payroll forms and a warrant form for the county.

Franchise Agreement

Mark Peterson felt that the commissioners should send the Franchise Agreement back to the county with the comments that our engineer has made regarding it.

Other Business

Jim Ratley pointed out that the $25.00 late fee that was stated in the letter to all district customers should be re-worded as a service charge for the notification and leg work that results in a non-payment or late payment rather than a penalty for non-payment.  There was much discussion be the commissioners agreed on Jim Ratley’s concerns.  Mark Peterson pointed out the county’s procedure when there is non-payment.  The county will foreclose on the property after there is a lien on the property for non-payment.

The letter from our engineer Karen Kornher increasing the engineering cost estimate.  Dan Bannier will review the proposal and talk to her to discuss it.  It was pointed out that our funding was based on the engineering proposal and to increase it at this stage is not good.  More work will be done on this issue.

Administrative and Vouchers

The commissioners discussed where to move the Whispering Pines Water Association mailbox after the transfer.  It was decided to move it to Clerk-Elaine’s mailbox area because that is kept clean of snow.  Commissioner Harris instructed Elaine to go ahead right now and acquire a new address for the district and when the time is right all mailings will be changed to that address.

Clerk Dickinson told the commissioners that they are entitled to one hundred and four dollars per meeting.

She then passed out I-9 forms which need to be filled out and had them sign their pay vouchers for last month.  From now on the commissioners will get this amount for every meeting attended.  There were no other vouchers to approve.

It was pointed out that as the bills come in they are faxed to the commissioners one at a time for their review then the voucher is filled out with all the approved invoices to be signed.

District Insurance

 Dwight Burke has been negotiating with Cities Insurance Association of Washington (CIAW) to obtain our District insurance.  He was able to negotiate the following:

  1. A premium of three thousand dollars per year.  They refused the twenty five hundred the district proposed.
  2. A ten million dollar general liability coverage compared to the one million CIAW first proposed.
  3. The insurance would go in affect as of Sept 1, 2012.  Dwight asked how they would cover the transfer date of Aug. 1, 2012.  They said that they would endorse the additional property value as of August 1, 2012 but not charge us for that month.
  4. The coverage is on the total property value of four hundred and fifty thousand dollars.  They said they would be with 10% of that figure.
  5. They also agreed to cover prior acts for those three associations that have insurance coverage. (LWWD, WPWUA, Brown Road Assoc.)
  6. Director and Officer Coverage (D&O) for the board would be on a claims made basis. After the transfers are done, the associations can cancel their D&O coverage.  It will now be covered by the Districts D&O coverage.

There was some discussion about covering the boards that will remain in effect for three years as recommended by Mark Peterson. This is in case the District should fail for some reason, the individual associations could start up again and not start from scratch. All three associations agreed to keep their current D&O coverage until the corporations are dissolved and the boards are no more or until we find out more options.

Commissioner Klasell moved, Commissioner Harris seconded, and it passed unanimously, to have Dwight continue talking to the insurance company and attorney, Mark Peterson about coverage issues and how to proceed with the individual boards that will remain active.

Commissioner Klasell moved that we accept the $3000 premium, Commissioner Bohn seconded, and it passed unanimously.

There was discussion about submitting a letter of intent to withdraw 12 months in advance.  Dwight pointed out that for a business aspect, it would be better to submit the letter but since they have worked with us and have a long memory, maybe it would be better not to.  Commissioner Harris felt that it would be better to wait a year and make that decision next Sept.

Dwight felt that on a go forward basis we have a commissioner as the contact person with CIAW.

It was agreed to have Commissioner Bohn be the contact commissioner.  Dwight proposed to write a letter making Commissioner Bohn the contact person.

Commissioner Harris moved that Commissioner Bohn be made the contact person for CIAW, Commissioner Klasell seconded, it passed unanimously.

 

Status of Wells

District Well: Commissioner Harris said they made an offer to Jeff Burgess for the District to take over their well as a replacement well for WPWUA. The offer was turned down.

Letter announcing District Start rates which will be sent to the members of the District.  Dan Bannier said the letter looked good but to add the Commissioners names and contact information to it. After a very lengthy discussion regarding how to handle late fees, turning off water, etc., it was decided to leave the letter and rates as written but add “base rate for residential service” after the thirty nine dollars and add “per billing cycle” after the late fee.  These rates can be changed at a later date if it found that the budget is not substantial.

Easement Status

 Whispering Pines Lots 3, 4 & 5:  Commissioner Harris submitted a map from the engineers showing where the easement will go to access the upper reservoir. This will require cutting down some trees and flattening the ground. This is based on Forest Service (FD) approval to use their land.

Also we will need permission to use the paved driveways to access the upper road to the reservoir.

A discussion was held about obtaining permission to cross Hashim’s land with the pipes. Further work will be done on this.  Whether Hashim owns the small strip will be verified for further planning.

Tice/Schilling easement to put in the pipe:  Commissioner Harris has been trying to contact David Tice to obtain an easement or permission to use a thin strip of his property to place dirt and move equipment.  Whispering Pines already has a 10 foot strip on Shilling’s property but we will need additional space to place dirt and move equipment.   At the time of the meeting, he had not heard back regarding his latest email to him.

North Shore/Lester Addition:  The easement is up in the air at this point and is Karen Korhner’s design changes.

Franchise Agreement
