Commissioner Harris reported that Richard McCord has decided to wait until construction is complete to hook up to the District water system.

IAAC attendance: There was discussion as to whether to send one of the Commissioners to the conference.  Karen Kornher from RH2 felt that is was necessary, Commissioner Klasell spoke with Cathi Read at Dept. of Commerce about scheduling a tech team meeting at the conference. Cathi felt it was not beneficial since there are no other funding sources available this year that LWWD has not already contacted.  The Commissioners decided to skip attendance at the conference this year.

Project Issues

99% Plan Review: The following items were identified to review with RH2 before signing off on them:

  • The Commissioners felt that the verbiage addressing “fire hydrants” should be changed by removing the word fire.  They felt they can be called “hydrants” but not related to fire.
  • Obtain a list of all the parcels receiving meters from RH2.
  • Address the moving of Landis Bohn’s meter.
  • A clarification of the number of meters we will need to purchase.  It is not clear how they got to the number they reported.

Meter move from 6 lots from upper system: RH2 has recommended that rather than expend the money to dig up and move the existing vaults and meters to the LWWD easement or the County right away on Lakeview Drive that new meters be installed.  The existing meters can be removed by the district at a later date and used for future installations because they are only 8 years old and in good condition.  The Commissioners felt that we should follow RH2 recommendations.

USFS Permit Update: Commissioner Klasell reported that once the USFS issues the decision notice, there is a 30 day comment period.  If no negative comments are received, the decision memo is issued awarding the permit  If anyone complains, than there will be a 45 day appeal period following the 30 comment period.  The decision notice has not been issued as of this meeting, but is expected to be done soon.

DWSRF funding availability:  Commissioner Klasell reported that there are no available funds from the DOH until 2014.  She will contact Rose at the Rural Development agency to verify the requirements and total funds available per applicant, she will report her findings at the September 26, 2013 meeting.

Other Issues

The situation surrounding next year’s Commissioner position 1 was discussed.  Commissioner Bohn does not want to run for another term.  The time limit has expired to place this position on the ballot for the 2014 thereby losing the opportunity for a write in vote.  Jim Ratley indicated that he will volunteer to assume the position, if Commissioner Bohn will resign his position after 2013. Since Commissioner Bohn would be obligated to remain in position 1 until the next election in two years, he said he would provide the board with a decision on resignation or continuing on as commissioner within the next few meetings.

This issue of two of the three Commissioners residing in Arizona for part of the year was discussed.  It was felt that with use of Skype, the task could be accomplished

Commissioner Harris moved to adjourn the meeting at 11:45 am , Commissioner Klasell seconded, passed.

The next meeting will be held on Sept. 26, 2013 at 10:00 am
