Project Issues
Two Track Easement: After some discussion regarding where the easement is and where the new pipes are being installed, the subject was tabled until the July 24th meeting when our attorney will be present.
Thomas Leake, from RH2, joined the meeting. He reported that he obtained from the project manager, a three week constructions schedule. Thomas also reported that the original plan called for an expensive pitless adapter for the pump house. The contractor is recommending another one that is less expensive but just as functional according to the contractor and Tumwater Drilling. Thomas presented a change order for the part which will save the district monies.
Commissioner Bohn motioned to accept the change order, Commissioner Harris seconded, passed.
Charlie Cruickshank reported on the project process. The contractor has encountered some issues with ground penetration due to the sandstone and rock.

Customer Issues with construction: The septic drain pipe for one of the customers was crushed during the digging process.

The contractor agreed to replace the two trees from a pile available at the staging area. The trees will be delivered to a location chosen by the customer.
Other Project Issues
The attorney for a customer on Lake Wenatchee Hwy is requesting that he connect to the main system via his sister’s parcel, who is connected along Brown Road. The Commissioners agreed that it is not an option. However since the project has been split into two phases, they agreed to pursue expanding our wetland permit to run a line up the Lake Wenatchee Highway at the customer’s expense. Commissioner Klasell will email Karen Kornher to pursue the possibility and obtain an estimate of the cost.
2015 Funding: Karen Klocke from the Dept. of Commerce and Dan Bannier from RCAC, are available to come discuss funding on Thursday, July 17th. The Commissioners agreed to extend the July 10th meeting to that day. Commissioner Klasell will ask Karen Kornher for a budget for Phase 2 before that meeting.
Administrative
