Old Business:
Jackie reported
that she received the latest Reedsport contract draft the day before she left
for vacation so she didn’t have much time to review it but she let Becky Bryant
know that they may need to have an interim contract to satisfy the funding
agencies since it may take a little longer to come to an agreement with Reedsport
for a longer term contract. Jonathon
Wright didn’t seem very interested in signing an interim contract.
There has been
no update on an MAO from the DEQ as of today.
The
$500,000.00 grant application has been received and is ready to be signed. Dennis made a motion, and Cathy seconded it,
to give Jackie the authority to sign the $500,000.00 IFA grant contract, and
the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Jackie signed the contract and directed Mary to get it in the mail
tomorrow.
Jackie called
Ray, he apologized for not being present at the meeting, and reported that he
got 2 valves installed and still has one more to go on Bolin Island. He sent a report to the DEQ on 2/9/14
regarding the break in the line under the river. The flow sensor tube is going to be shipped on 2/21 and he plans
to have it installed by the end of the month, as soon as the flows recede. The
system has been on the bypass line since 2/9 but they can’t get the line fixed
until the flow drops to about 70,0000 to 80,000 gallons and the river level
drops. He got the generator at Bolin
Island repaired and it ran by itself yesterday with no issues.
New Business:
There is no
new business to report other than what Ray already reported regarding the break
under the river.
Items Not On The Agenda/Open to the Public:
Jackie
reported that there was a meeting between IP and the City of Reedsport at which
IP suggested that they would like the city to process the effluent from their
landfill that is still open rather than using the outfall pipe.
Suggestions for agenda items for next meeting:
Reedsport
Contract Update
Update on
MAO from DEQ
Update on
the line repair project
