[0:00] One more.
[0:03] August 13th, 2020. Is that okay with everyone?
[0:12] Okay, this is the
[0:17] 13th meeting of
[0:20] the Wolf Creek water and sewer improvement district. It's 8 a.m. mountain time and we have
[0:30] trustee's, Stefani's, Ming's, not Bingham, but Young and
[0:41] Hatchel's present. So we have
[0:43] four trustee's present, trustee has refused himself from the first item on the agenda
[0:49] and at all previous other times. So I am going to ask for a motion.
[1:01] I am going to ask for a motion to return the share to Mr. Jason Fuller as requested by
[1:11] the customer. This was from efforts to establish a commercial entity about two years ago,
[1:20] which eventually came to the point where they decided not to pursue the project and understand
[1:26] the commercial side of this has been removed from our books. So I would like a motion to return
[1:35] the Court of Shared to listen to Fuller and may I have that from one of my board members?
[1:46] I would like to make a point that I have recused myself on this issue and we will abstain
[1:54] from voting. Thank you, Trustee Bingham. That recuse all that is accepted by the Chair.
[2:03] All those in favour say aye.
[2:13] I—I—I—I—
[2:13] Rob, would you like to give Mr. Fuller his paperwork?
[2:20] Give him a chance to read.
[2:22] Or a net, whoever's got it there.
[2:25] Here's a pin.
[2:34] We need a signature on the receipt, please, Mr. Fuller.
[2:38] And I'll make a copy of what you've done.
[2:44] Then, a net, have you only got a copy of that?
[3:05] It's good.
[3:11] Okay, have we completed that item?
[3:13] No, not yet.
[3:14] that.
[3:14] I
[4:09] have to climb over that corner.
[4:11] Let's see.
[4:12] Now I got struck.
[4:18] That is my room.
[4:19] You know, the Christmas tree.
[4:21] I have
[4:35] to give it.
[4:36] So I'm gonna give that all for the DIY sonet.
[4:42] That's for the elephant.
[4:45] Good.
[5:32] Both of them.
[5:39] That's the one on the genomes.
[5:42] What company is that?
[5:46] Davis Construction are DX construction.
[5:49] They're coming out of Eden Hales with Fiverr up through
[5:56] Pass blood place down to rule of Lodge
[5:59] Will Lodge has committed or accepted their bid for Fiverr for the most list
[6:08] As a resident right there. I wish is this this is this is Xfinity the Comcast people all new to all band
[6:19] all's west all's west is that a third fiber company yes yes oh my god so we probably have
[6:28] an entire new fiber network going in yes well at least two full floods oh my goodness all right
[6:38] how many of those easements eight feet from the road until he's not like it's 10 I measured 39
[6:47] I am in my place, what a message they made to them trap or save a little way back into some of those properties.
[6:55] Jason has received that it's signed, I have copies, so that is complete.
[7:01] So a gender item one is complete.
[7:05] Rob, would you like to give us a summary of where we are on the creep view shoreline?
[7:10] Yeah, so met with Mike yesterday. One of the things that changed is in the original design.
[7:19] It was fairly deep going back behind John's place and Campbell's.
[7:25] Not only is that going to cost more to install, but I don't think it's going to do any favors either behind John's bond.
[7:33] So I had them revisit that. They got some new lines. I need to sit down with John
[7:39] and Campbell now to take a look at that because we'll probably end up bringing
[7:44] in some more fill and have to do a little bit more grading to make that work. But
[7:48] the sewer will be much shower and it's always amazing to me why we're on this
[7:54] hillside and we have to have sewers that are 18 feet deep. But anyway it happens. So for
[8:01] most part I've got to work out a couple of things with John and then I think we're getting
[8:07] very close to putting together some bit docks. Working with Nancy Leifer on getting a number
[8:14] current value for property. She's held me out with that so once that's complete then I can once
[8:23] again approach John and Mr. Campbell and see if we get those easements.
[8:30] Okay all the Campbell's the
[8:32] aware that there's something coming out of them.
[8:40] There's no point getting this whole thing
[8:42] buttoned up if Mr Campbell there comes back and says no, not going to happen. That will
[8:48] be a waste of money.
[8:54] I'll leave it to you Rob, you know these, you know folks, you know
[8:57] how to do this. Does anybody on the board have any questions about this? What diameter is
[9:05] this line incidentally. 12 inch one. 12, did you say? Yes.
[9:15] Jason, do you have any questions?
[9:17] Is it an eight inch?
[9:21] Yes. So Mr. Polar has a question. He just has what size of what's
[9:25] going down pre-view right now. And it's an eight inch down pre-view at this time. Okay.
[9:32] So this is it's taking and it eliminates that drop mountain hole, right?
[9:39] Correct.
[9:40] Off a big deal.
[9:42] Yes.
[9:42] Everything that comes down patio springs drive will be bypassed.
[9:46] It won't drop into a few.
[9:50] Okay.
[9:51] I'll keep my fingers crossed so you can get this thing to float.
[9:56] I do look at the amount of money that Ned and I talked about, the amount of money that is left on our sewer.
[10:04] own
[10:09] that we got through DWQ for SOAR. I don't think until we've got the easements that I want to
[10:16] get Andrew involved officially but Pam could you please call Andrew and let him know but this is
[10:27] some a project that we're looking at and would be fully consistent with the normal intent of that
[10:38] loaned the Clean Water Act in a state revolving fund.
[10:42] Well, we've got the impact fee money that we've got to spend on those two.
[10:45] We've also got the impact fee money to spend on it, actually I think.
[10:49] But most of the impact fee money,
[10:52] most of it's in the sewer buy-in.
[10:56] And so I don't want to spend that money because that money has flexibility
[11:01] because it's not officially impact fee money.
[11:04] I think the amount we've got in the buy-in is
[11:11] the
[11:18] amount on the so-up PTIF impact fees
[11:25] is, I looks like 1.5 million, so that should be enough for this, right?
[11:31] Yes.
[11:33] Do we have an engineer's estimate for this little gem?
[11:37] He's working on that as well.
[11:39] Could you say that again, Rob?
[11:40] I didn't hear you.
[11:41] He is working on that now.
[11:43] He's working on it. Okay, right.
[11:47] All right. Are there any other questions about this?
[11:50] You still want me to call Andrew?
[11:53] Well, maybe we should wait till we have the easement.
[11:56] I, the easements in particular on this are, have been historically complicated.
[12:04] So let's wait until we have the easements all bundled up. Does that make sense to people?
[12:13] Well,
[12:17] if we're getting close to getting bids, what is your image on the time frame or
[12:23] getting the project done if the easements go through smoothly?
[12:28] As soon as we could make it happen.
[12:30] I'm sorry, I can't get you in.
[12:32] As soon as we could make it happen.
[12:35] But that will be this construction season?
[12:37] Yes.
[12:38] Okay, great.
[12:39] That would be great, because we're, you know, the weather forecast is a beginning to jump
[12:44] up and down about whether it's going to be a wet winter because of El Niño, but we
[12:49] don't need this as a further complication. We'd like to get the new system up and running.
[12:56] All right. Any other questions on item, a general item, too?
[13:08] Hearing none, unless I miss something, I go to say I don't hear everything that everybody
[13:14] what you're saying. Hearing none, I suggest we move on to the meeting that Rob and I had
[13:21] with the contractors for the sewer feasibility project for pumping sewage over the north
[13:33] divide from the valley.
[13:43] It's an interesting meeting because they appear to know very little
[13:48] about our situation.
[13:52] I don't know.
[13:58] Who is sitting behind gone incidentally? Is that Rick
[14:01] Everson? Yes. Rick Everson, okay.
[14:07] Rob, do you want to say what you thought of that meeting?
[14:10] I
[14:19] run into with the other districts,
[14:30] but I think they figured there was going to be a lot
[14:33] more of a solution way in
[14:37] the situation.
[14:42] I think there was quite a few surprises. We were
[14:45] the first stop, but I think it was a real opener for me.
[14:48] Was that the questionnaire that you filled out that we got out of them?
[14:53] Yes, we did that and we sat down here and went over that.
[14:55] Yeah.
[14:58] And.
[15:00] Subsequently, I'm saying this in an open meeting because this is communication with our city,
[15:06] which is also an open and public entity. I have had a conversation with Don Hickman, who
[15:15] is the, has the public works portfolio for the city.
[15:22] During the meeting with JUB representing
[15:25] the project thought that Boeing Collinces is involved in, JUB had implied very clearly that
[15:34] they thought there was going to be some sort of sewer overlay district put throughout the valley,
[15:40] and I mentioned this to Don Hickman,
[15:45] and he very strongly stated that the project was only
[15:52] to do with the feasibility of putting a pipe up and over the divide. It had no component
[16:03] that he, in his opinion, talked about how to bring the sewage to the bottom of the divide
[16:11] this side. In other words, the question of how much sewage would be involved, how many
[16:23] he regarded as outside the scope. I don't think that's the way that the county sees it.
[16:34] I don't know that that's the way that JUB and Bone Collins sees it. So it sounds like
[16:42] there are complexities to this whole thing, but we made pretty clear to the team from
[16:50] JUB that our district did not expect to be hooking in on a short-term or medium-term
[17:02] basis to this system, because we have us with treatment plants and our customers have
[17:07] spent millions of dollars in establishing a system. So why should they pay for a new system
[17:15] when they've got one that works and is fully permitted and fully functional? And that would
[17:20] go also for our developers, to the extent that we have a cheaper solution here, why would
[17:29] we buy into a system that is going to be extremely expensive both to build and to operate?
[17:39] So, I think we made that pretty clear in the meeting on Hickman understands our position.
[17:48] Do any of the board have any questions about that?
[17:55] That's the way I am, so it was just pumped over there, that was all in this kind of study.
[18:01] Nothing else?
[18:03] Yes.
[18:04] Do you still want to understand the size and volume to be able to come up with that calculation?
[18:09] Sure.
[18:13] I think that that's their point, but the problem is that the 2000 unit capacity that was built
[18:21] into Brown Lift Station, which would be a no-brainer to include that. They still got to find an
[18:27] easement to get that align from Brown Lift Station to the bottom of the north of I. It looks like
[18:34] they're looking at that question,
[18:40] and then they've got to deal with the question of Eden Waterworks,
[18:44] not wanting to have their sewage going into that system. So we basically told J&B they should go
[18:51] talked to in waterworks and they are already planning on talking to Don Hickman and we'll
[18:59] see what comes out of this. As you know, I also talked to Rob. I went with Rob. We
[19:09] went and sat down with Brock Hans just so that we all were clear on where we all were
[19:15] on things.
[19:18] Not slam the door but we haven't said we can take any of those sewage.
[19:23] But we did say we would look at the question of whether we could take any polished water,
[19:28] that was the same quality as our reuse water, that that might be something we could consider.
[19:37] But once again, this is all big, very big picture stuff, and my understanding is that they've
[19:43] now got at least initially some plans in place to expand their lagoon system.
[19:52] and we'll see how that proceeds along.
[19:58] Was JV aware of our commitment to provide 200 units within the ESSA area?
[20:10] We did talk about that.
[20:14] We showed them the maps including the ESSA areas.
[20:33] I don't know if there's any other questions at this point.
[20:35] I don't know. They were talking about having an answer by next spring. I think it depends.
[20:42] Even the geotechnical is only a desktop study, so I'm not clear why it's going to take
[20:48] until next spring to get an answer on this. But we'll see.
[21:02] I didn't hear that.
[21:03] Don't say moving on. Moving on. Let's talk about Acer. Is that the end of this?
[21:10] questions from the community for a Rick or for anybody else. I suggest we move on
[21:17] and see what comes out of it over the next few months.
[21:24] Acer trees is the next
[21:26] item on the agenda.
[21:29] I'm going to share the share that.
[21:40] So this is an outfit that
[21:41] dealt with trappers. I've also used them at my home.
[21:55] Can you show the map? Do you see
[21:58] the map. I guess it's just a bit in their mind. Basically it's the area around the wedding garden
[22:05] so that'd be kind of to the west of Warm Springs. And then there's two clumps of trees
[22:14] in the parcel that's by the Warm Springs well. A couple of great big cottonwoods and then a
[22:20] little bit smaller one. And those are all broken down in that bid.
[22:25] It's a lot of timber to come out of there on the wedding and parcel.
[22:32] Yeah.
[22:33] I thought that this bid was a lot less than I had anticipated to be truthful.
[22:39] Yeah.
[22:39] There's a lot of trees there.
[22:42] But they're going to leave it as chips, right?
[22:44] So they'll bring a chipper and then...
[22:46] They're going to put a lot of chips.
[22:47] I'm probably going to take a lot of it down to the plant for some whole chain.
[22:51] I'm sorry.
[22:52] You said you're going to take the chips where?
[22:54] down to the treatment plan a lot of it we'll see how much and we discussed that
[23:00] that would be you know take what you want and all the rest of ways so whatever
[23:04] we see fit on that. I'm gonna say there's hauling debris on the quilt here.
[23:12] Okay
[23:15] questions from board members what do you think of this? I looked at that bed and I'm
[23:20] on. I've spent a little bit of money to have trees take care of around my place and
[23:27] you know I thought this bid was very good just because there's a lot of trees
[23:35] that have to be dealt with there. It's actually seen the seen it right.
[23:41] I don't think he's coming.
[23:43] It's big.
[23:44] The two hold on the front side, by the well, or huge.
[23:49] And that's part of the four he's got up there.
[23:51] That's 75 for all four.
[23:53] It can't be.
[23:54] It's 10 to 5 for all four.
[23:56] Yeah, okay.
[23:57] I'm also...
[23:58] Well, while they're there...
[24:00] I was going to say...
[24:02] While they're there, if they could drag out that...
[24:05] It could remove that Russian olive that's by the bone...
[24:09] That's a piece of junk.
[24:11] I mean, it's just those Russian olive trees
[24:13] with their spines are just nasty to have around.
[24:17] I know it's a living tree,
[24:19] but I'm sure that would be a five minute job for them.
[24:23] Well, I think that this is a project
[24:27] just from a liability point of view.
[24:30] You know, those trees hanging in so many
[24:34] that could fall over in a windstorm.
[24:37] I think it's something we really need
[24:39] to take care of. I agree. I agree. Any opposition from anybody on the board or a reason
[24:47] why we shouldn't do this?
[24:53] Hearing none, I'll accept a promotion to accept this bid.
[24:56] I'll make a motion to accept that bid. Second. All those in favour?
[25:02] Aye. Aye.
[25:04] I see this is extremely inexpensive reduction in risk of trouble down the road of one sort
[25:13] or another due to a dead tree falling on somebody or something or somewhere that's inconvenient at
[25:18] a bad time.
[25:21] So, I think this is great. As Captain Kurt would say, make it so.
[25:29] All right,
[25:30] that was item 4. All right, I have, we're chewing through this agenda.
[25:39] Next item on the agenda is
[25:41] minutes from prime meetings.
[25:47] Any comments from board members?
[25:49] Today I would like to make it known that I would abstain from voting on the
[25:56] meeting that I was absent from. The one emergency meeting.
[26:02] Oh, were you not here?
[26:04] I was not here.
[26:06] I'll take that.
[26:09] Okay, thank you for that correction, John.
[26:11] I did have John Bingham recused but you were just absent. Yeah, just put absent in parenthesis. We'll move on. Okay.
[26:25] Motion to accept.
[26:27] I'll make that motion. Second. All those in favor. Next
[26:47] thing would be the financials. Let me on
[27:16] that you're you're at the floor.
[27:19] Okay. This is the see
[27:23] the financials. Yes.
[27:25] was starting all the bike statement, the balance sheet, all the bike statement at the
[27:32] balance sheet.
[27:35] Current cash in the bank is $636,000.
[27:39] Miranda and I talked yesterday, why the water and the irrigation had so much money, but
[27:45] let's just pay back from the bond where we were paying invoices and then when we finally
[27:53] got the money from the state. We've put it back in there. So
[27:58] that's a very long delay on
[28:02] that money from the state. Very long delay. Very good. If you'll scroll down in the PTIS, all
[28:11] the reserves have been covered. If you see their emergency number 1178 there. Since we paid off the
[28:22] We were based in contract.
[28:25] I've still just kept putting some money away
[28:29] while we still have it right now just in there.
[28:32] So I've just been putting it in the emergency reserve
[28:35] just for case we need it in the future.
[28:40] But as far as the rest of the reserves,
[28:44] they have all been funded.
[28:50] Okay, keep scrolling.
[28:53] Impact
[28:59] fees are there and I have broken out that's where Miranda got her
[29:04] information on the buying amount which was actually a million three in the
[29:11] buy-in but the sewer impacts got a million five so but it's there PTIF count
[29:17] yeah so that water that money we do need to use that all within the six years
[29:28] That's the money that we should use then instead of taking out the law, we should do a financial
[29:34] comparison to see if it makes sense, but probably it makes sense to pay down the impact
[29:42] fees.
[29:43] This one here, that our impact sewer impact fees would be the one to pay for the creep view
[29:49] line.
[29:50] I can't imagine it's going to be more than that, but let's find out.
[29:53] And
[29:57] then the culinary, yet we're still down on the...
[30:08] I think my preference would be to use the impact fees, so that we're not accumulating more interest and more debt.
[30:22] We have that. We might as well use it. While we're looking at this, could you please advise the situation?
[30:32] be east well to even waterworks connection that needed a repair piece of kit piece of valve of
[30:41] some sort. It was a backflow preventer check valve that operated twice. Basically there's a disc as
[30:51] the water comes it pushes the disc open and then when the water the pump is turned off that disc comes
[30:58] back and there's an o-ring in here and that o-ring pulled out and got stuck in
[31:05] the check valve. So we had to assemble a good section, a business
[31:10] assemble, a good section of the piping inside of these 12, which was very
[31:14] frustrating. They no longer make that one, probably for that reason. So we're
[31:22] looking for another replacement at this time and hopefully get that back online.
[31:28] We can't further the testing on the communications down at Burnett Springs until we can operate the well.
[31:36] So this was actually in the well house that we had this problem?
[31:40] Well, that was the problem in the well house, there were still communications down at Burnett,
[31:45] which they think they've got that taken care of, but we need to do a flow test
[31:50] and just put it online, put it automatic, and see what it does to make sure.
[31:55] Yes, yes. We need to use this east well.
[32:01] Talk to Tom, let's talk to Tina. A range of
[32:05] schedule for using it on a regular basis, so we keep all of this kit running and operational
[32:11] and find any other bugs in the system.
[32:20] And that further thoughts?
[32:22] Did we get Tina calm down when she realized we were just testing things?
[32:28] I haven't heard any more. I don't know what Miranda has.
[32:31] Now what was that? I didn't hear.
[32:34] Where Tina was a little upset that we ran that well to mine all of us. That's all behind
[32:42] this, but yes, we do need to once this is back together. Whether we all sit down or have
[32:49] conversation, but yeah, she needs to understand that we need to operate it to make sure that it's
[32:55] in good operating condition when we need it. Exactly. Or if they need it for that matter.
[33:03] I think it's just as likely that they will be the ones that will need it and that we will need it.
[33:13] Let's see, let's make sure, because I think this is an item that needs to be fully taken care of
[33:19] before we do any further testing on the warm spring at EC5, if that is going to move forward,
[33:27] I say if not went.
[33:30] Okay, so that 792 is what is left on the bond that we have not used, so
[33:39] but I would rather not use it and just use that me in five. I don't appear okay with that.
[33:49] All right. Understood. Okay. Moving on, we have 8,900 on our account
[33:58] receivable at the end of the month, which is fine. So as current assets,
[34:06] we have 4 million eight. We did not change any sewer at any sewer assets.
[34:14] can you keep scrolling? Or water assets, they're the same.
[34:21] And irrigation assets are also the same.
[34:25] This is a legal defense. It is included in receivables, no. In receivables? Yeah, it is.
[34:33] Yes, it is. Rob just asked me a little bit ago, he haven't got to yet, but we have a couple of people
[34:41] who don't want to, don't want to pay it that we know about and then we'll talk about
[34:46] a worldmark in a bit.
[34:50] So we have the construction and progress. The secondary water project
[34:57] is the ones where we were trying to get the homes off of the golf course so we haven't
[35:03] put that much into it yet because that just isn't moving along right now. Don't have
[35:11] these months and then the bridges reuse pond we're at nine million seven. We haven't moved
[35:20] it anymore on the sewer plant expansion but that's what we've spent on that so far. The one
[35:26] that's moving right now is the S-S-R-1-B. That's where we're at on that one so we're about 10 million
[35:33] in construction right now.
[35:37] So we have total assets 27 million payables were at 40,000.
[35:46] At the end of the month we did payables the other day so that's paid our
[35:54] liabilities.
[35:55] Total liabilities are 8 million. I don't know. 9 million. Can't see that. Can you scroll up?
[36:04] 9-4-9.
[36:05] I think there's a good 9-4-9, equities at 17, so we're balanced or liabilities and equity
[36:13] equal our assets at 27 million,
[36:20] okay, good, the loss.
[36:29] We got a little bit of money there for our Kobe branch there.
[36:34] They did 24, was it 24?
[36:36] Lots.
[36:37] I think so.
[36:38] We shouldn't get out of there.
[36:39] 9, yeah.
[36:41] We have 9 more coming up on Kobe.
[36:42] So that'll help with the connections.
[36:46] They had already paid the impact with that money
[36:49] that they gave us, that million dollars.
[36:52] So that those were paid.
[36:53] So this is just a clarify.
[36:56] This is the $1, the $1,500 per unit
[37:01] that was the adjustment for the East Eden
[37:05] Sewer Service area.
[37:06] Correct?
[37:07] Correct.
[37:08] All right.
[37:10] So we did get a little $100 from a little grandma request that we had for there's
[37:19] another lawsuit going on and we got kind of called into it had to give grandma
[37:24] information and but they paid us $100 so that's what that is. Total income for
[37:29] the month was 383. We are a little ahead at two million two or we thought we'd get
[37:35] too many in one so not a ton but a little had general administrative.
[37:47] We had
[37:48] the bond they have annual fees that I thought were at a different time but
[37:55] they put us over what we budgeted. So we're a little high there. We did have some
[38:01] fuel and repair. We put some tires on Taylor's truck and that's that's what that
[38:09] was. As you're working out, keep
[38:14] scrolling. You can see our legal fees were
[38:19] 16 lower than normal but we're at 188. We thought we'd be at 210. But I just
[38:28] This had Rob look at one that was for $27,000 that I have, that I got from Cohen Kingmore.
[38:35] John, she went, so it's not in there.
[38:41] We are sending Taylor down to the rural water, it's in Layton, so, okay, not the big one,
[38:49] not in February.
[38:50] There we go.
[38:52] Oh, okay, there we go.
[38:53] So General Administrator, we spent 124 for the month, we thought it would be 180 or under budget for General Administrator of 935 or we thought it would be a million.
[39:09] Irrigation, that engineering there is, they're working on IFFPs, Gardner Engineering, so that's what that was.
[39:20] irrigation was only, we didn't have any repairs and maintenance that we've
[39:24] got the bills for yet. So that's a good thing. So Willie spent 1,500
[39:31] we thought it would be an 11th and we're at 105 for the year when we saw
[39:38] over budget on irrigation,
[39:43] drinking water. Again, the engineering is
[39:53] We just bought some more meters there, so we'll catch up with that.
[40:00] We're at 20,000. We thought we'd be at 11. For the month, we're at 168.
[40:08] Or we thought we'd be at 89. Let's do two repairs and maintenance that we've had in the drinking water.
[40:17] the SSA was 3,500 and that's obviously because of the labor. That's just Rob's time.
[40:27] He's putting a lot more time working over with Kobe even those guys.
[40:32] So we put him up to 12 hours instead of 6 if we were so that's why it's over.
[40:40] sewer is doing great, there's been some engineering, I have to be stuck there so we're over budget for the month at 6,000 but we're way under for the year at 13,000 that would be at 26 so we're doing really well there.
[40:59] The sewer plant, we're at 16,000.
[41:04] You can see that the electric is way, way more than we budgeted for.
[41:11] Still under budget for the year, but at that rate we're going to go way over.
[41:16] That's 4% pop I think next year, it was a big issue with the, they want it with 30 or
[41:21] some ridiculous number, I think.
[41:23] Yes.
[41:23] So it's all boils down to four points I think.
[41:26] Yeah, so let's see how it's good. So it's not electric just because the rates have gone up or it's not because we're using it more or anything and we're running at 24-7 so, you know, we're using all that we can. So it's a 56, but for the year, we're still a little longer budget for the plant at 134. We thought we'd be out 144.
[41:56] I would like to say something on this, people keep on saying why wouldn't you put in
[42:01] solar to cut your electricity bills, because of the way we are billed based on demand and
[42:08] the fact it's a 24-7 plant that runs through the night.
[42:13] It does not pencil out in any way, shape or form, it would only be a, quote, sustainability
[42:21] stability step, it would not bring any actual financial benefit to have solar panels as far as I can figure out.
[42:29] That was what we were told by Inter-Mountain Wind and Solar 10 years ago,
[42:33] and I don't think it's changed because of the way we are charged by Rocky Mountain power,
[42:39] based on demand the number of maximum megawatts or kilowatts versus kilowatt
[42:50] hours, which is what you get a benefit from when you have solar panels. Just
[42:56] getting that on to the record one more time. So total expenses, the sail
[43:03] be happy we're still under budget at a million three and because we thought we'd be at a million four.
[43:10] So even though the electric's really big we are doing all right with our expenses.
[43:17] Like good. Any questions? Do you want to look at
[43:22] that? That bank discrepancy will not show after
[43:26] this month. Last month it was a being charged as or remember there wasn't thing went over the year
[43:34] So or over the month last time it was a credit of a million one hundred and thirteen this time
[43:41] It's a debit and so that time now it'll disappear
[43:48] I'm making that happy
[43:55] Okay, okay, so I'm going to switch to the a a cancer see if we'll encounter paddle.
[44:11] Okay
[44:14] Yeah, cash receivable equals what it was on the balance sheet at $8,944, so
[44:26] pretty much we do have a lot of credit all their stuff, 13,000, it is prepaid payments, it's funny that payable.
[44:38] We just had a lady walk in here yesterday, two days ago. Another check, here's another year, sort of.
[44:43] Okay, alright so as of July 10th on that payables keep scrolling
[45:03] King Waters on there for 18,000. Let's write above King.
[45:14] King was 16,000. Maybe right in James was 18,000. Those were the big ones on this table run.
[45:29] Rivers, ad was 19,000. What project was that, do you remember?
[45:37] Okay, I'd like Shionna's efforts to keep a list of where a lot of weeks are located.
[45:45] She maintains that list and she links up the invoices to those locations.
[45:53] So is that going smoothly, Shionna?
[45:56] I usually enter it as well.
[45:59] Yes.
[45:59] Yes.
[46:00] Okay, that's good because it really helps us to understand what it really costs per leak
[46:07] to fix things which is really important for us to keep our top off.
[46:15] The Utah local government's trust, that's our property taxes, this is the month that
[46:24] comes to do property taxes for the year, the automobile insurance, you know, all the
[46:29] insurances that we have, the E&O insurance, so that's why that was so high, and workers
[46:35] come, so that's what those are.
[46:40] This waste management, this is the one for the sewage plot, right, the $2,000, is it waste
[46:49] based or is it just flat rate? It's flat rate.
[46:56] Flat rate? Okay.
[46:57] Well, it's based on a container, it's the four-yard containers.
[47:01] Four-taping. Okay.
[47:04] Four of those a week
[47:07] to show up.
[47:09] Nobody else will haul this stuff, waste management.
[47:16] Yeah, I'm not questioning this bill. The only reason I'm raising this is
[47:21] we had additional questions from Andrew Pompeo related to the reuse
[47:25] pond involved completing a notice of intent which was a long
[47:33] federal government form and it may need us to approximately calculate the number
[47:42] of tons of waste and there are so many questions on this that I didn't know the
[47:50] answer to, I set the whole form off to Bride Rasmussen.
[47:56] If you, Pam and Bride may need to
[48:00] get together on this to figure out what the, and Rob may need to get together on this to
[48:04] figure out what some of the answers are, but basically they wanted to know everything
[48:08] in them. It's brother about our sewage treatment system, although it's a reuse, but what
[48:16] What I don't understand is how that relates to the reuse pond, but I've kicked it over
[48:24] to the Brad Ryzen, because I just couldn't deal with the questions, I just didn't make
[48:28] sense to me.
[48:32] So, our July camp run was 133,000?
[48:39] How is our legal defense fund keeping up with expenses?
[48:48] It's almost there, it's about $1,000 short, but we can cover.
[48:54] So $5 on the first sheet we have, $55 this month, $44 last month, those are just the balances
[49:01] at the end of each month, right?
[49:03] So we're 10K over and fund as it sits today that we go to last month.
[49:09] Yes.
[49:09] Yes, but then last month we didn't have as much.
[49:14] You did most of the stock in it.
[49:15] Yeah, like I said, I just got one yesterday for $27,000, so we'll go out.
[49:23] We had an AECOM,
[49:28] you know, it's about $15,000 something for AECOM.
[49:34] I think, no, there's one more after that was only $14, $100.
[49:39] So, and that is on the reuse pond. So, they're coming through.
[49:48] There works is where we bought the meters that were on the sheet.
[50:01] Remember last month I told you that the employees or PEHP,
[50:06] when everything was going up, all the percentages,
[50:09] that's it, that 13,000, it went from 7 to 13.
[50:14] So, that's the increase in health insurance and medical.
[50:19] And
[50:23] the signs was that 3,000 was their annual fee on there for them handling the bonds and stuff like that.
[50:32] That's what they charge us.
[50:34] That's one type fee.
[50:35] So that was it.
[50:37] There's your bank statement.
[50:41] Did you guys agree?
[50:44] So this has all been reconciled by Shayana since that right-side Shayana confirms that everything is squared away.
[50:54] And any board member, or any member of the public indeed, could come in at any time if they really wish to go through this painful process of making sure that all pennies fail.
[51:04] I did it once, I think I fired it.
[51:07] Yeah, I did it in a couple of pounds, but I'm glad so.
[51:13] Okay, I think we've reviewed this pretty thoroughly. Any other questions from a board member?
[51:19] But I just, if you don't, as far as our financials, they're done.
[51:27] We signed everything.
[51:29] I just don't have them or I would have presented them to you.
[51:33] The audit financials.
[51:35] So we
[51:38] talked about that last time.
[51:40] So I'll just say, you know, I'm just waiting for them to get them.
[51:44] Are we getting a new auditor?
[51:48] As soon as I get this, then I will talk to them.
[51:51] Will they get a new editor or a whole new company?
[51:57] Yeah, that's what I'm trying.
[52:01] Right, let's get that one squared away too.
[52:05] I have a distinct impression that I've got things
[52:08] better squared away than our order.
[52:09] That's so rude.
[52:11] All right.
[52:12] John's trying to talk.
[52:15] Second.
[52:16] Don has a comment.
[52:18] No, I just don't.
[52:19] Okay, don't.
[52:20] I missed it on the spreadsheet.
[52:22] What is it?
[52:22] What are the legal expenses here today?
[52:26] I'll need you to repeat John's comment.
[52:29] The legal expenses, or how much have we collected?
[52:34] Expenses.
[52:36] What do we need?
[52:37] Voice 4.
[52:41] 188,000 I think was the number yeah okay thanks yeah
[52:50] okay I will accept a motion
[52:58] to accept the financials as presented by our controller I'll make that motion
[53:05] second.
[53:09] All those in in favor say aye aye.
[53:17] Do you have any operational items?
[53:23] I was just
[53:23] trying to squeak through the year on irrigation.
[53:28] We are taking the full diversion because Wolf Creek
[53:32] irrigation has discovered another valve bomb in their system at the end and investing wants to
[53:39] do a visual inspection of the outlet structure to make sure it's still sound and misses and something
[53:45] that's just been floating around in the system since the last event.
[53:50] So right now, the only thing that's feeding their own is warm springs.
[53:55] I mean, you're just letting you see each take it down, which will probably happen overnight.
[54:00] That will take that inspection and then fill it back up.
[54:08] It's going to be interesting to see how many golf balls there are at the bottom of that.
[54:12] That's an opportunity for any.
[54:15] Imagine this if child with a long pole.
[54:17] Oh, they walked in there and then unfortunately the poor I'm sorry. I didn't get that wrong. It says unfortunately that they go after him
[54:26] No doubt about it. And then the ball washer on number 12 takes a beating
[54:31] Turns it just slouch
[54:39] Cheyenne needs to report on the lead and copper
[54:43] all right
[54:45] So I talked to Sunrise because usually about this time we start preparing for our notice
[54:52] we sent out to customers, but with the pop bullying they have classified us snow-led
[54:58] lines in our full system, so we filled out the form for the state to deem us snow-led
[55:06] in our system and submitted that, so we don't have to do the notifications anymore for
[55:12] each year but it sounds like next year is when some of the other new things may pop up so I'm
[55:21] just going to check back with them next year to see if there's anything new we need to worry about
[55:25] or if we're all good with the report we just submitted so either right now there's nothing further
[55:31] we need to do. Question Rob. I don't know exactly how to ask it but how is how's the reuse pond handling
[55:40] The drought and the demand on irrigation water.
[55:45] As mentioned in the paper earlier, if we didn't have that 45-acre flood, we'd be in a world
[55:49] hard right now.
[55:51] Or still.
[55:52] Is it like down to what?
[55:54] No, it's probably.
[55:56] I don't think we're 50 percent.
[55:57] We're probably getting close.
[55:58] Yeah.
[56:00] But yeah, it's working great and what it's supposed to do.
[56:04] So, with all of the visitation that helps our re-use pond, doesn't it, by adding the
[56:17] pothole?
[56:18] Well, right now everything that's been produced out of the treatment plant has come strictly
[56:23] to the front line golf course, which that they're on to face down, probably lower than we've
[56:29] ever seen.
[56:31] but they're using a little more than I'm producing every day.
[56:35] And up until hopefully now with this ring to be able to shut down parts of the golf course
[56:41] and hopefully other folks as well turn their system off.
[56:45] When the main con overflows, it fills that pond on number nine.
[56:50] So hoping to put some fresh water back into that as well through this.
[56:54] That's important information. I know every time I get asked about
[56:58] Levels of irrigation water, I keep telling you that we're glad the pond is there.
[57:03] But, you know, I don't know how much it's being used or anything like that.
[57:08] So in the operational review, if you could at the end of the month to say things are good
[57:14] and things are bad or the list level, just give us a little review.
[57:17] So I've got something to tell the neighbors when they ask, that's sure.
[57:20] All right?
[57:20] Now, we're pumping out of there anywhere from 220 to 250,000 gallons a day, so what we're pulling out of that.
[57:32] So, between that and converting the crypto spring at this time is to irrigation, which comes up to about 850,000 minimum that we've added to the system.
[57:46] So that's good news for the users, you know, they're seeing that their money's down to a good cause and it's working.
[57:51] Well, I just said, we would, we would be well beyond drought rates if we didn't have that long issue.
[57:58] That's what I was looking for right there, I think, don't, yeah.
[58:01] Okay, appreciate that.
[58:03] What, uh, what about ten acre lake capacity there is that?
[58:07] On what's left?
[58:08] Not much down to, only the one pumpkin that worked long because it was out of the water now.
[58:13] So there's probably only two feet left in there at this point.
[58:20] So we'll figure out how to do it.
[58:25] Hopefully all of this, and we'll just ride this thing out.
[58:29] Like we do every year.
[58:31] I don't know how we do it, but we do something.
[58:34] Yep, they don't pump from their...
[58:37] Oh yeah.
[58:38] They don't have the right steward, as you can say, that pond hasn't fluctuated all year.
[58:47] He's used that before.
[58:49] He's got it today.
[58:49] I want you twice.
[58:50] Didn't you say that?
[58:51] He has not.
[58:52] He doesn't want to use that until all the teas are crossed and eyes are gathered.
[58:58] Because he feels that it's an acceptance.
[59:01] It will review this acceptance if he starts to use it.
[59:05] I could afford to say something about that at that meeting over at the library, no.
[59:09] Do they have to pump out of that, or does gravity keep pumping just like our tentative water
[59:14] because no matter the system.
[59:17] And we have, we did raise to enhance the possibility that in the future the mitigation water might
[59:27] from Osprey, if in fact there is a settlement that involves that mitigation water coming up
[59:32] bus break. We opened the door to figuring out things so that that font could be used as the
[59:39] holding font which would greatly reduce the leak factors and indeed it would be, we could
[59:46] probably find a way to get it as there's a whole question around storage that this involves
[59:54] Council that involves ban king. It's a conversation we need to have in close session about water rights.
[1:00:00] That it may be that we can assist with that process and help our partners to the irrigation company and the developers to figure out something much more smoothly than what's currently going on. But, at this point, we haven't quite got to that. So, I think we covered all the operational items now. I just, I just want to turn. Okay, in that case, I'm going to ask to go into closed session.
[1:00:29] One quick thing, Pam sent out, I think I sent it to you guys, about the cyber security
[1:00:35] and how they're trying to get things, you know, they hit 30 water systems in Minnesota.
[1:00:44] You know, some of them came out of it okay, but others, they're really able to stop at home.
[1:00:50] Yeah.
[1:00:50] It was a system that just served 10,000 people, wasn't a food system, yeah, I think.
[1:00:55] So in regard to that, I don't know the insights looking at any of that stuff.
[1:01:00] We are through admissions in Skater, and they've watched that closely, but I'm probably
[1:01:04] on that system at least three times a day, as well as coal and tin.
[1:01:10] And one thing that's different for us, you know, it's not like we have a chloronator
[1:01:14] that we're going to need to crank it up or turn it off or anything like that.
[1:01:18] And so it is just pumps, but as often as we are on that between the three of us, we're watching very closely.
[1:01:29] So is there a way to get in there for someone to get in there and shut something critical to the system down?
[1:01:37] Now, whether you see it immediately or you don't, it depends on the critical nature of whatever is shut down.
[1:01:47] All they can do is turn it up long, that's all we've got.
[1:01:51] Yeah, so when I talk about this once before, the insight is not messing with that?
[1:01:57] No.
[1:01:58] No.
[1:01:59] So, insight.
[1:02:00] So what I think that you're saying is we're still proactive.
[1:02:03] Okay.
[1:02:05] Inside did ask about it, because we don't have much that they have to do before it, because
[1:02:10] there's no, like he said, chemicals that we add, we don't have to take care of it because
[1:02:17] it's not needed.
[1:02:18] I mean, we view that as the pump running, it's a pump not a, they look at the tank and see
[1:02:23] if the tank is in the normal place, if the tank's halfway down to the pump, it's not running.
[1:02:28] Yeah, that's a problem.
[1:02:29] And then we would address why, but, I mean, we've washed that thing cycle, we could say that
[1:02:33] effects will give to both procuritation.
[1:02:37] Oh, it's not just our color periods,
[1:02:39] our procuritation pumps that we have.
[1:02:43] So I don't see it moving.
[1:02:48] So we're proactive based on the operational procedures
[1:02:53] that we have.
[1:02:54] Oh, see, there it is, that's the answer.
[1:02:59] OK.
[1:03:02] That was bad.
[1:03:02] I think it's good that we're thinking about this.
[1:03:06] I think is where I'm part of it.
[1:03:07] And it's something that we need to raise regularly to just check on ourselves that we know.
[1:03:18] The main concern I have, honestly, is that mission would get hacked.
[1:03:22] It isn't that we would get hacked. It is that mission would get hacked.
[1:03:26] The same thing. If we couldn't get on to our system or mission because they have been hacked,
[1:03:33] We would turn everything off and start doing manual inspections of reservoir levels and times that we've thought.
[1:03:43] Yeah.
[1:03:44] Okay, we've now got, I'd like to move forward into closed session.
[1:03:51] So can we do the steps on that?
[1:03:56] Can we have these have a motion to go into closed session to talk about land, water rights,
[1:04:01] It's eminent litigation or personnel, all those in favour say aye.
[1:04:11] Aye, aye, aye.
[1:04:13] Okay, let me change these.
[1:04:14] I forgot what I was doing.
[1:04:19] And I'm assuming that we have no numbers of community in the base.
