The meeting was held at the District office.

The commissioners approved the agenda.

Mr. Kerley gave the following General Manager’s report:
Meter reading and billing was completed on time.
We have received two new water availability requests.
Tom Steenmeyer has installed a permanent ladder on the standby tank. He is now working on the fabrication of a new railing system and then will complete the hatch retrofit and the cleaning and disinfection of the tank.
We have had our initial meeting with Baber and Mason. They are the CPA firm that we have hired to monitor our internal controls.
Phase IV construction may begin on short notice. We are prepared. The District has hired a temporary employee for construction inspection. His name is Mick Holte and his estimated time of employment is for two months.
All of the recent rain and saturation has led to several customer calls for potential leaks. So far everything has been groundwater. We will continue to monitor the problem areas.
In-house water sample testing continues to be of great benefit to the District. We have been able to test the sampling points for coliform bacteria one day prior to taking State required testing.
A discussion was then held regarding the City of Lake Forest Park 100-year legacy proposed trail. Staff was directed to write an inquiry letter about the proposed two phase plan that the District sent the city.
Mr. Mundall gave the following updates:
Brightwater tunnel status: He believes that the boring machine will be under our aquifer in mid-July. At this time the District will need extra staffing and monitoring.
The Backup Wells: We are waiting on the purchase of the SPU property to become finalized.
PWTF Phase IV: The winning bid came in at $464,426.73. The engineer’s estimate was $600,000. If there is a remaining balance on the loan it will be used to replace the watermain on 30th Ave NE and/ or a PRV vault at the wellhead.
Richard Jonson of the Law Offices of Jonson and Jonson proposed an alternate rate structure to the board.
At 10:00 am, Mr. Davis called an executive session for approximately 45 minutes to discuss personnel matters. Mr. Apsitis then left the meeting.
At 10:48 am, the executive session was concluded and the regular session of the meeting was reconvened.
There being no other business the meeting adjourned at 11:00 AM.
