Meeting opened by President Mike Benjamin at 4:05 PM
Board Members present: Cafferty, Gabel, Drinkard, Darnell
Visitor: Tim Blankenship, Sewell Engineering
Confirmation of election of two Board members. Since there were no applicants for the two seats terminating the 6 year appointments, the terms of existing Board Members Verna Gabel and Frank Cafferty were affirmed, until 2022.
Copies of new water supply agreement with City of Sandpoint for 2 year term were distributed.
Discussion led by Tim re: The Water Supply and Storage Facility Plan. Four Alternatives were presented and discussed. Each member was given a copy of the Preliminary Draft for individual review, with further discussion at next meeting. This plan did not specifically address expansion of the system due to the lack of interest by surrounding property owners. Connections are available for adjoining property owners, however, if the connection makes sense to the District, on a case by case basis.
Board members are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Draft and have questions or comments at March meeting.
Tim needs the following:
- DEQ Sanitary Survey from Frank
- Accurate Testing Labs test reports from Frank
- Copy of 2015 Expenses and 2016 Budget – Fred
Application for payment for work to date by Sewell approved and signed by Mike, Tim will send to DEQ.
