SPECIAL BOARD MEETING MINUTES Thursday, October 16, 2025 - 10:00 AM Fruitland SSD Office 1. Call to Order & Roll Call The special meeting of the Fruitland Special Service District was called to order at 10:01 a.m. Board Members Present: Vick Savage, Mike Wilkerson (via Zoom), Steve Hille, Bart Morrill, Michael Scheetz (via Zoom) Staff Present: Judy Wilkerson - Clerk Zack Taylor - Operator Jeff Baker - Engineer Public Present: None 2. Resolution Authorization - Parameters Adoption A motion was made by Mike Wilkerson and seconded by Steve Hille to adopt the parameters of the following resolution: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING NOT MORE THAN $650,000 WATER REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2025B, TO FINANCE WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS; PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION OF A NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND BONDS TO BE ISSUED; FIXING THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT, MATURITY, INTEREST RATE AND DISCOUNT OF THE BONDS; PROVIDING FOR THE RUNNING OF A CONTEST PERIOD; AND RELATED MATTERS. Motion passed unanimously. 3. Discussion - Impact Fee Analysis and Water Rights Capacity Jeff Baker reviewed key factors for the ongoing Impact Fee Analysis and discussed with the Board the following: - Current impact fee analysis does not account for excess capacity in pipeline infrastructure. - Capacity calculations must include water storage per connection, water source capacity (springs), and water rights availability. - The Division of Drinking Water (DDW) requires a factor of safety, which must be incorporated into the analysis. - Outdoor use allocations rely heavily on acre-feet of water rights. - Currently, 1/4 acre of outdoor watering is allowed per connection, but actual use within the system is much less due to many part-time residences. The Board agreed that the 1/4 acre outdoor watering standard should be reconsidered. Discussion included the possibility of amending bylaws to avoid overpromising outdoor irrigation capacity for new connections. Bart Morrill raised a question regarding whether the District could limit annual connection sales to slow growth or decline new connections if the system is nearing capacity. The Board discussed potential legal implications and the need for counsel guidance before implementing such measures. Consensus was reached that the Board should gather at least one year of additional metering data before finalizing the Impact Fee Analysis to ensure accuracy. Decision: The Board directed Jeff Baker to postpone completion of the Impact Fee Study until sufficient system usage and metering data are available. 4. Adjournment A motion to adjourn was made by Bart Morrill, seconded by Michael Scheetz. Motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 11:05 a.m.
