President Drinkard proposed that the Board seat occupied by Frank Cafferty be vacated and Tim Blankenship be interim Member. Frank will continue to do all he is presently doing, and will provide other services such as manager responsibilities, as needs arise, and be compensated for his time.

Frank and Fred met with new Dover Mayor- he took info under advisement and will visit with others to figure out best way to proceed with our interest in getting water from Dover. Discussion addressed alternatives, i.e. seriously considering upgrading our existing system by adding generator at pump station and increasing water pressure to higher elevations in the system. Tim will ask Sewell to outline how to best accomplish this.
Drinkard proposed that a workshop be scheduled for deciding on upgrades, work schedules, etc. He will find a date that works with Sewell and Board members and advise.
Bylaw final review can be done at this workshop also.
