Motion to approve financial report made by Fluck, 2^nd by Navara. Motion carried.

Operator’s Report – Ron and Logan have been busy jetting on Landen Drive all the way up to Lift Station #2. They had to hook into the city water hydrant for .1 cent a gallon. Ron and Logan did a tap on Landen for Beau Meyer. Logan learned a lot at the CRW Conference. Ron got Logan set up with the state and operator ID number. We will be waiting on the apprenticeship program. A $2800.00 scholarship will be coming up and this is a two-year program.

Ron followed up with Jeremy about the letter of engagement. We need to figure out how to get ammonia limits down before relining the ponds. Haley from Seacrest Lab says CDPHE is going to drop some of the sampling. Ron and Jeremy are looking at a lot of different things we can do at this time.

Ron is now the exalted ruler at The Elks Lodge. Ron has also received a job offer, so he may be working nights and weekends elsewhere.

Continuing Business –

            Rio Grande RV & Resort and Connection Agreement – They bored their line into our sewer line, and they are finishing up cleanouts. The Lift Station is on site. The mission control unit is here. They are doing some jetting and waiting on cameras to video the lines. No pressure testing has been done yet. They are making some changes.

            CDPHE Permit- Hopefully CDPHE will curb some of this PFAS sampling.

            WestWater Engineering Engagement Letter- Engagement letter should be here soon and will be entered into the CDPHE web portal.

            Sewer Line on Aspen Dr. – Ron needs to get a project description to submit to the city and start getting some bids. The whole line needs to be replaced.

New Business –

Resolution 25-02 Exemption from Audit, Resolution 25-03 Cancellation of Election- Refer to additions and corrections to Agenda above.

Adjourned- Motion to adjourn made by Slade, 2^nd by Fluck. Motion carried.         

 

Respectfully submitted this 26th day of March 2025
