Old Business:
Jackie reported
that they met with Reedsport last Wednesday and progress was made on the
negotiations, they will meet again next Monday to discuss 3 financial questions
and correspondence from the attorney.
Jackie also
reported that she had received a new MAO from the DEQ, but John Gasik called
and let her know that he will be on vacation until April 9th so
would like to hear from her after that.
Jackie let him know that she will be on vacation from April 9th
through the 21st so she would let him know as soon as she is
available to discuss it. She has
already heard from the district’s engineer and he is pleased with the revised
MAO.
Garrett Pallo
is putting together a scope of work for the under-river line replacement
project so the project is still moving forward as quickly as possible.
Charlotte
reported that after the last storm, it was discovered that the office computer
was not working so a repairman was called and apparently a fuse had blown which
caused the problems. In the process of
getting the computer back up and running, he found that there was no current
antivirus program so he updated that.
Also, Microsoft has announced that they will no longer be supporting
Windows XP so it is time to either upgrade or get a new computer.
New Business:
Ray
reported that the line repair was completed on 3/15 by Orca Divers. While the line was down, Ray installed the
flow meter sensor, but when it was hooked up the error code was still flashing
as it had before the new install. Ray took the transmitter apart and cleaned it
and it started working properly. He has
the last valve installation planned for tomorrow. American Bridge wants another survey done to confirm the original
survey before they will grant the easement, so Ray asked the board if they
would authorize that. Marc made a
motion to have Ray tell American Bridge to go ahead with the survey that they
want done, not to exceed the $550.00 quote that was given, Dennis seconded and
the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Jackie
reported that the district received a letter from the DEQ regarding the loan
repayment schedule, which she reviewed with Garret Pallo and he had a few
suggestions for her to approach the DEQ with.
