2. Minutes Approved - Board agreed to approve the minutes from the June 10, 2025 meeting. Brent Crouch made a motion and Kim Park seconded.
3. Bill Wall Discussion - The Board discussed the calls from Bill Wall where he says he has 2 connections that he purchased, which have been transferred to Ann Cummins and Mark Lollar. Bill also says that he had purchased another hookup in 1999 that he would like the Board to give acknowledgement to. When the original two hookups were transferred to Cummins and Lollar, there was an issue at that time in providing the proof of purchase from Bill Wall, however, with the proof of one purchase and the payment that had already happened to Bill Wall in the transfer of those hookups, the Board did honor the two hookups, also saying at that point that those two hookups would settle any hookups for Bill Wall and he would have no more hookups to sell or transfer. With this information given to the Board, they discussed multiple options and decided that a letter would be sent to Bill letting him know that due to the 2 hookups that have already been given and transferred we would need proof of payment for three hookups before honoring any additional hookup/transfers. Kim P made a motion and Tim Giles seconded the motion.
4. Warehouse/Office Space Discussion - Wendi brought a copy of the scope of work description that was turned in with the funding application that gave a general description of the size and set up of the future office space and warehouse. The board reviewed it and agreed that it was what was wanted. Wendi to contact Chuck and let him know that he can move forward with a preliminary draw up of plans. Update - Chuck and Horrocks structural engineer came to town and met with Brent C, Wendi and Larry and discussed the scope of work and also traveled to the Hanna Water yard to look at options for the layout on the property. Horrocks is working on the options.
5. Administrative Update and Discussion - Wendi asked the Board if they wanted biographies or just names listed on the website, since she has still only received one biography. The Board agreed they would like to just list names, no biographies. Wendi updated the Board that Dorsett is continuing to work on the set up and start of the new SCADA and are looking at a August installation. Wendi gave an update that the contractors are still working on Tabby Mountain, they have had some materials delays, but will be moving forward with the Booster Station shortly. KW also plans to be up in Tabby Swale starting in late August when the water levels are lower for the river crossing. Wendi made the suggestion that the Board draft a letter to Joel and Dale and Linda Gines and possibly send a copy to Lee Gines, which would give them all of the information that we have found and what the potential options are moving forward with regards to the property in Zone 1 of the protection zone, as well as, spell out the hookups that have been used and what is left from the 2002 agreement, to help with the questions and confusion happening with the time lapse between meetings/discussions. The Board agreed this would be a good idea and Brent Crouch will draft the letter and send to Wendi to add the hookup usage list. Wendi presented the quote she got for a hydrant meter for when contractors etc need excess water. Board decided to table that discussion until the August meeting to check into another option that Tim might have. Wendi let the Board know that she has put in the advertisement for the Operator position for the newspaper, it has also been posted in the Merc, Post Office, Hanna Store, on the Rural Water website and our engineer has also distributed it where he could. Wendi also let the board know that she has been training with Brent Bingham and has been doing the meter readings, chloring testing, blue stakes requests, BacT tests and the board did agree that Wendi could contact Rusty Casper for minor repairs/meter replacements. Larry discussed the Hanna Water yard, Tim has put some goats in to eat the weeds, and the pipe in the yard will stay for now. Larry will be working to get a magnet with the Hanna Water logo for the truck, as well as a sticker for the hard hat. Larry is also to pick up the lumber for the conex shelves. Wendi to look into Co2 monitors for the locations and needs to update her voicemail to include hours.
