1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:02,680
Okay. Oh, join.

2
00:00:06,110 --> 00:00:13,530
We're going to retry it. Let's see if it comes back on. As that's loading, we're recording on on

3
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:19,510
each phone. Any comments or concerns or additions to be added to the board

4
00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:20,710
discussion to this point?

5
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:32,160
We use state your name just so it's on here.

6
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:57,200
And you're asking that I'm glad Roy's here to answer that I will say as a newly elected board chair

7
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:07,040
Richard, I continued to be amazed at the decisions that have been made to put us in the situation that we're in.

8
00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:16,600
And that's Craig and his leadership, it's Monten and his attention as a clerk to the finances and everything else.

9
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:27,640
We had to work the budgets around, move dollars around to exercise the college well.

10
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:32,040
And that was a $70,000 expense.

11
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:38,720
The trading of the water share for the O-12 lot was just a trade.

12
00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:42,900
It didn't have a financial implication.

13
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:53,880
it had a balance sheet implication and it was a wash, but I'm thrilled with the financial

14
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:02,540
condition of the FST. Every month, we have our feet to the grindstone. We have to make those

15
00:02:03,060 --> 00:02:10,900
monthly contributions to the restricted accounts. We make those. I don't have any doubt Richard

16
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:14,900
that we'll be able to make our loan payment in November when it comes to.

17
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:22,180
Our collections are good, we have a few, and we'll cover those in our closed meeting,

18
00:02:22,180 --> 00:02:31,460
but we have a few accounts that are passed to one or two that go back to 2015.

19
00:02:33,380 --> 00:02:40,040
But we're taking action with those, so I think the answer to your question is the finances

20
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,040
were solid and we pay a lot of attention to them.

21
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:47,440
In that other thing I was looking at was the Elk Meadows.

22
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,460
What do you about the Burns Creek Phil Station?

23
00:02:51,140 --> 00:02:52,120
Are you talking about the land?

24
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Well, it would be the, it's the Elk Meadows well.

25
00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:00,840
If it's a Phil Station, then it would probably be the

26
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,180
Birch Creek Phil Station or something like that.

27
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:04,220
We haven't even gotten it.

28
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:11,720
I'm going to have to recall the transmission line left off the road, that's what you think

29
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,120
on the mountain?

30
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,560
No, that will follow the road.

31
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,020
That's a lot of line.

32
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:15,420
Yeah.

33
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,080
It's in the master plan.

34
00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:23,400
Any law that it would go by, those people would be able to connect.

35
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,180
Of course, you can only get to six months out of the year.

36
00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:38,660
So, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, but we've got to get to the finals.

37
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,780
And I would say, Richard, this has been a discussion.

38
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:53,400
Every law has a utility easement down the law line.

39
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,260
And on the map, it looks great.

40
00:03:56,260 --> 00:04:03,060
just go right straight down, but you couldn't even get equipment as steep as that is from the

41
00:04:03,060 --> 00:04:09,700
talk about Meadows 2. That's the reason there's so many switchbacks, but it wouldn't make any sense

42
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:19,400
to go down a utility line. If the long term, how long is long term, 20 years, 40 years, 50 years,

43
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:31,420
The road is the best place but it's a long distance and we accounted for that in the

44
00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:41,060
grant application that we put in. In 2019 numbers a full distribution system for

45
00:04:41,060 --> 00:04:47,520
for Birch Creek down to D1, which is right down at the bottom, was $6 million, round numbers.

46
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:59,700
That was 2019, and we, for this grant application, we went through some fairly significant

47
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:08,140
well-documented calculations to say our estimate today just to the bottom of Birch Creek would

48
00:05:08,140 --> 00:05:09,440
be about $4.5 million.

49
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:17,440
Now, once you're at the bottom of Verge Creek, it's actually pretty easy to put a distribution

50
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,000
line on down Verge Creek Road to all of those lots.

51
00:05:24,340 --> 00:05:33,900
So we're planning, we're applying for grants, we're doing the things as best we can to be

52
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:36,140
able to keep our system growing.

53
00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:41,580
Let's not forget, we have the same opportunity at Thad's Peak.

54
00:05:41,980 --> 00:05:47,580
We have a lot up above Thad's Peak that we could put a story's tank on

55
00:05:48,130 --> 00:05:52,860
and start distribution down that path as well.

56
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,520
It was our decision.

57
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:58,420
We have Thad's Peak now.

58
00:05:58,420 --> 00:06:01,660
We put a million dollar facility in Thad's Peak.

59
00:06:01,660 --> 00:06:06,600
We need to look at something for Birch Creek as the next priority.

60
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,240
It's just, it's a zigzag road down to Birch Creek.

61
00:06:13,980 --> 00:06:16,120
Other questions, Craig?

62
00:06:17,370 --> 00:06:21,640
With the early spring, I'm coming with our town.

63
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:26,760
Jeremy was just up there, what, yesterday?

64
00:06:28,460 --> 00:06:29,660
So give us the update.

65
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:31,060
Hold on ground.

66
00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:32,580
They have the hold up.

67
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,100
They go up.

68
00:06:33,220 --> 00:06:36,790
The materials have been started.

69
00:06:38,010 --> 00:06:39,530
I think we're going to be up there today too.

70
00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:41,050
New work is good.

71
00:06:41,710 --> 00:06:42,150
I see.

72
00:06:42,190 --> 00:06:44,250
So they were ready to pour cement.

73
00:06:45,490 --> 00:06:47,970
We just want to make sure they don't miss our side.

74
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:49,170
They're going on the couch.

75
00:06:49,570 --> 00:06:50,690
Before they get the couch.

76
00:06:51,250 --> 00:06:53,450
And all they have put it up after the tower.

77
00:06:53,630 --> 00:06:54,950
Oh, I can put it up back.

78
00:06:55,810 --> 00:06:57,490
And I think Jim.

79
00:06:58,010 --> 00:07:00,570
Jim, Michael, let's talk with you.

80
00:07:00,570 --> 00:07:04,260
Oh, we have pictures.

81
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:12,760
If you want to see Craig, you can come up and look at it.

82
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,260
This is right now, good pictures.

83
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:29,060
So it's moving forward. Jim is working on the batteries for the current solar.

84
00:07:29,060 --> 00:07:40,260
on the community wildfire committee call a couple of weeks ago there wasn't a

85
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:48,000
field we're trying to search government surplus for a new siren this is an

86
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,740
old siren. But it will do.

87
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:05,480
And it's not going to have the same distance as a new one. But we'll

88
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:17,980
continue to look and we need that siren functioning to see if it covers the whole resort or the

89
00:08:17,980 --> 00:08:26,220
We certainly with now the property of metals could look at a poll and a siren there.

90
00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:32,460
We need the siren. We have the poll. We need the installation. So there are options there

91
00:08:32,460 --> 00:08:33,440
that we would explore.

92
00:08:36,010 --> 00:08:36,670
Other questions?

93
00:08:42,380 --> 00:08:43,760
We're still not back online.

94
00:08:47,020 --> 00:08:51,980
If you can go on your email and allow me, then maybe I can start it on my computer.

95
00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:52,900
there, so

96
00:09:03,010 --> 00:09:03,890
maybe it's not needed.

97
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:12,970
Yeah, I think I'll call for a motion to adjourn the board meeting and to open a closed meeting.

98
00:09:13,610 --> 00:09:14,950
An executive meeting?

99
00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:17,650
Do I have that motion?

100
00:09:18,610 --> 00:09:23,390
Do we need to state anything legally why we're going to a closed meeting and what we're going to discuss?

101
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:28,170
I can certainly do that in quick summary.

102
00:09:28,170 --> 00:09:47,690
We're going into close meeting. There's some open contract things that meet to be discussed. We also have the property considerations that are under way. There's one personnel issue and a couple of legal discussions that need to be had.

103
00:09:48,530 --> 00:09:53,510
So, we will terminate if I can get a motion to adjourn.

104
00:09:53,510 --> 00:09:55,010
Make a motion that we adjourn.

105
00:09:56,150 --> 00:10:01,390
And, going to an executive session, I have that motion.

106
00:10:01,570 --> 00:10:02,310
Do I have a second?

107
00:10:02,430 --> 00:10:02,610
Second.

108
00:10:03,630 --> 00:10:11,010
Mike makes that motion, month, second to any, everybody, all those in favor say aye.

109
00:10:11,310 --> 00:10:11,550
Aye.

110
00:10:11,550 --> 00:10:15,690
Hi. Hi. And we've lost on online.

111
00:10:17,270 --> 00:10:18,870
I'll take a bite in that break.

112
00:10:19,470 --> 00:10:25,390
Yeah, five minute break. I'm getting a text that my son Trent and K are still on.

113
00:10:25,690 --> 00:10:28,830
We'll tell him don't worry about it. We're done.

114
00:10:29,310 --> 00:10:33,010
Thank you and thanks Craig and we're done for stopping.

115
00:10:33,290 --> 00:10:33,490
Good job.
