2. Minutes Approved - Board agreed to approve the minutes from the May 13, 2025 meeting. Brent Crouch made a motion and Tim Giles seconded.
Add In - Joel Gines - Joel asked the board to re-iterate the info given to Lee Gines at the April Meeting. Brent C listed the option put forth in the contract to pay the lease for 20 years, then move forward with a purchase. Brent C let Joel know that if they are interested in selling the property included in the lease for the protection zone, that the next step would be determining a purchase price, which the contract states would be done by appraisal, then Hanna Water would work to look for funding. Joel talked about the possibility of selling of an easement/right of way to access the well, but The Board reminded him that the access is already granted with he perpetual easement for access, so the only property in question is the 5.26 acres of protection zone 1, which takes in a very small amount of the area under their pivot and is mostly in the unused ground and rocky area above the well.
3. Operator Update and Discussion - The Board discussed the position of the System Operator in light of Brent's accident and long recovery time. Larry has been in contact with Brent B and talked about the recovery being at least 9 months before there will be an expectation of Brent being able to work again. The Board agreed to post the position and hire someone new for the position permanently. Brent has agreed to help train a new hire. The Board discussed a few local people that were possible options and Wendi will send out the job description for Board review before posting. The job has been posted in the local notice boards and will run in the newspaper until we cancel it with the job filled.
4. Administrative Update and Discussion - Wendi let The Board know that the funding was approved for 100% grant at the CIB Budget meeting she attended and we will be moving forward as soon as the funding planning is complete. Larry discussed the building/warehouse specifications and he will get the info to Wendi to pass on to the Engineer because all plans have to be engineered by a licensed engineer. Larry requested that we ask for help from the prisoners to move the materials from the old trailer to the conex once the shelving is ready. Wendi and Larry met at the conex for measurements and Larry will pick up the lumber to work on that. Wendi to send a letter to Brent and Michele Lee, stating that Hanna Water will continue to maintain one access to the tank, as the contract states and letting them know if they have additional information they would like to consider they can bring that to our attention. Wendi also to send a letter to Dave Aldrich letting him know that the Tabby Springs development is not in our Hanna Water Service District.
