Lisa with the BLM was not very positive with the possibility of redeveloping the historic old spring site. JK Allred was very supportive of whatever we need to do to develop water in the area. The Board felt like we needed Jenna's response to Lisa's email. John will contact Jenna for clarification, legal resources, and a road map for us to move forward. The item was then tabled until we have more information. ServLine Program Follow-up Report Shelly presented the information we received from the ServLine Program. Basically, it is an insurance policy that customers can only use once a year when they have a leak. After discussing the pros and cons the Board decided that it would be more of a financial burden for both our customers and ourselves to implement the program, especially where we have so few leaks. The motion was made to not accept the proposal. Motion: John Corkery Second: Bill Winfield Vote: 5-0 in favor Old Business: Reports and Updates Chairman Updates and Report: Les Thayn The Grand County Road Department has been working on the road up the canyon to help protect our water line as well as improving the road. They have been hauling out our crushed concrete for the Upper Spring area. Some of it has been dumped at the loadout area. Ryan was going to talk to Russell Bauer about a price he would charge to haul what has been dumped at the loadout up to the Upper Spring. Darrin with the Utah Local Government Trust called and reported that our insurance application has renewed and we will be saving about 7% over last year's cost or about $350.00. Grand County Commission Update: Bill Winfield Bill updated us on the DOE Pipeline from Green River and the bill that John Curtis, our U.S. Senator, has presented that will transfer the property and pipeline to the Grand County Conservancy District. The actual transfer date has not been determined. The water will have to be treated. Water Operator Update and Report: Ryan Bell Absent so there was no report. It was recommended that when he isn't able to be in attendance that he email his report to Shelly.
