IV.      Managers Report:  Clint Watson

3-12-16 Replaced the broken gate at the entrance.  Removed all the snow stakes.  Monitored the pumps.  Pumps are running at 6 hours.  Work regarding Garcia’s water line.  Checked side roads with Gardner for road maintenance.  Roads seem in good condition.  Clint asked the board if he could have a stock pile of gravel in the subdivision so he could repair pot holes in the road through out the year with his own tractor.  The board unanimously approved his request.  Clint is presently evaluating trouble spots on our roads to see what needs to be improved and in what order.

Jon Long: Transition

3-1-16 Had Meadow Drive and Bull Pine graded by Gardner’s for a cost of $208.00.  3-2-16 Ran the generator.  3-8-16 Training time with Clint Watson.  3-10-16 Develop water maps.  3-11-16 Entrance gate broken.  3-12-16 Clint repaired the entrance gate.  All materials, notes, pictures, etc. were turned over to Clint.

V.  Garcia Water Line

The current system is a problem.  At issue are the hydrants, electrical service to pumps, waterline size, and pump size.  Water line service should be approved before construction begins as per CCR’s.  Construction has already begun on this property and there are multiple problems.  The pump must be replaced with a 5 hp pump, (2.5 hp previously).  Pump and wiring must be installed by a licensed contractor.  The subdivision now pays for the power to run the pump.  There will be 2 new residences on this line now.  The electrician recommends individual meters for each property owner.  Over the years the subdivision has paid for electricity to the Willis/Glass property. It was unanimously decided that each property owner needs to pay their own power bill.  Recommendations:

 1. A bid is needed from a licensed electrical contractor for the new electrical service.                                                                                                                                                            2. Once electrical is upgraded who installs the pumps, the subdivision, the contractor or the homeowner?                                                                                                                      Clint will research an answer to these questions. 

Roy Doan made a motion that Garcia’s will not be allowed to hook up to the water system until the system is completely upgraded and the water hook up fee is paid.  Scott Jackson seconded the motion.

VI.  Fire Protection

Roy Doan reported that there will be an open house question and answer held at the fire station in Idaho City on April 16th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.  Roy Doan is on the fire district committee along with 3 of the volunteer firemen.  The fire district will be on the May 17th ballot for vote.
