1. Miranda Menzies & Rob Thomas discussed with the board the district's plans to conduct a pump test on the Warm Springs well in August, with a third-party consultant (Bowen Collins) supervising the process. The test aims to accurately determine the well's current water production capacity, which is crucial for understanding potential future development and addressing disputes with developers about water availability. The board agreed to wait for the pump test results before going through the IFA's and IFFP's process, with the goal of ensuring accurate impact fees for any potential new connections and accounting for increased costs due to inflation.
2. Rick Everson updated the board that the golf course irrigation system installation is ongoing. Rob Thomas explained that the work is currently happening on fairway number two. They have encountered some difficulties but are managing them as they move through the process.
3. Miranda Menzies informed the board that there may be some misinformation about the historical water records in our district. Emphasizing that the 1995 water data for a pump test in that timeframe was not accepted by the Division of Drinking Water.
4. Rob Thomas explained that the reuse pond project is progressing, with pipelines completed, pump stations out to bid, and the outlet pipe has already arrived and are expected to be pouring the cement soon. The board discussed the use of rocks on the pond. Jon Bingham made the motion to use the rock being excavated for use on the face of the pond.

Jon Bingham made a motion to address continuous leaks and excessive water usage, with the ability for staff to turn off water systems after notification, while the district develops and incorporates this into our policy for review next month.
