Mr. Wright requested more time to examine the proposed changes.
Ray called
and emailed American Bridge (both the local office and corporate headquarters)
regarding the easement request and has had no response yet.
New
Business:
Ray also
reported on the huge difference between the meter readings of the flow from the
Bolin Island station to the Reedsport plant meter. He has contacted the Reedsport city manager
and explained the situation, and that since he has already taken both meters
apart and cleaned them with no change in results, that Reedsport needs to have
their meter repaired. Mr. Wright
responded that he would look into getting it repaired or replaced.
Ray
suggested that the district should consider filling the fuel tanks for the
generator because they are at about 50%.
Marc made a motion to have Ray get the fuel tanks filled, Mike seconded
and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Ray also
requested an O.K. to do a walk-a-round to find the greatest influx of rainwater
to the system in order to try and implement mitigating measures in the most
needed areas. He would like to order 4
more manhole covers to have at the ready if the board agrees. Marc made a motion to authorize purchase of 4
more manhole covers, Mike seconded and the motion passed by unanimous voice
vote.
There was
some discussion regarding the Winchester Bay ordinances that Ray had presented
to the board members to review for consideration for adaptation by the Gardiner
Sanitary district, but no decisions were made until all board members were able
to voice their opinions and vote on them.
