1992 Meeting Minutes

January 21, 1992

6:30 P.M.

Those Present: Carroll Steele, Homer Dixon, Roger Lindsey, Gary W. Jackson, Ronald Repp.

Discussed a letter received from the Farmers Home Administration advising us that in 1990, Congress enacted legislation that will have an effect on FMHA borrowers and grantees such as us.

Under new Food Agriculture Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, this act set up the RDA Rural Development Adm. and all programs such as this one will be transferred to the RDA in the next several months.

Our Budget for the year 1992 was presented by Gary Jackson. This was discussed and was passed upon motion by C.T. Steele and seconded by Ron Repp.  Copy attached.

Our insurance policy was discussed. Questions as to our liability were discussed, our lift stations and etc.  C.T. Steele is to look into this.

Ron Repp will contact Mitchell & Stark again regarding flow meters.  C.T. Steele had done this last month, but to date we still have not heard from them and they have not been reinstalled.

The Trustee reappointed Gary Jackson to another term, from Feb. 1, 1992 for 4 years.

Election was also held. Reelection of Ron Repp, as president and C.T. Steele, as Sec. and Treasurer.  This was done on motion by Steve Fellows and second by Gary Jackson motion carried.

February 18, 1992

6:30 P.M.

Those Present: Carroll Steele, Gary Jackson, Ron Repp, Roger Lindsey, Homer Dixon, Steve Fellows, Kenneth Graves.

Carole steel gave a financial report stating that the corporation had a balance in all accounts of $68,420.67.

We discussed delinquent accounts that Roger Lindsey, Attorney, should send letters to.

Ron Repp is to get in touch with Mitchell & Stark regarding the flow meters.  He was to do this last month, but it did not get done.

Kenneth Graves, a prospective customer, was present.  He is building a new house and wants his tap to come from across the road, which would mean cutting across at a large expense.  The alternative would be to tap next door at his rental at a future date and perhaps having problems with easement.  Roger Lindsey, attorney, said this would be no problem at this could be written into the deed at the time of closing.

Also we told Mr. Graves that he would have to pay the entire cost of cutting across the road.

March 17, 1992

6:30 P.M.

Those Present: Carroll Steele, Ron Repp, Gary Jackson, Homer Dixon.

Our attorney, Roger Lindsey, could not be present as he was in the hospital.

We discussed the fact that our flow meter was back in operation again.  It has been out more than in.  It is thus far working properly.

Homer says that we have a flow of approximately 120,000 gallons per day into the lagoon according to the formula as originally set up.  However, we feel as this could not be possible.  We or Ron Repp are to contact Sam to see if the formula need to be changed or the calibration is off.

The computer is down and since it has been such a problem, and unless the state says it must be in, we decided not to repair it.

April 21, 1992

Again we did not have a quorum and therefore could not hold a regular meeting for this month.

However, C.T. Steele and Ron Repp were present and we did discuss a few items in interest.  We went over our delinquent accounts.  We have 7 customers that owe us $4071.00.  These have been turned over to our attorney for suit.

Bill Boles has been called regarding Gene Wells past due, since Wells is trying to sell his property. Ron thought CT should write a letter to Boles mainly so we would have one for our files that we had in fact informed him of the bill.

We are having trouble with the flow meter and Ron is to call Sam, the electrician.

September 15, 1992

6:30 P.M.

Those Present: Carroll Steele, Gary Jackson, Roger Lindsey, Edward Arthur.

The important issue discussed this meeting was the delinquent accounts that we have.  After much discussion it was decided to give these folks one last chance before filing suit and have our attorney, Roger Lindsey, send each of these accounts and the property owner if a rental house, a certified letter with receipt request.  We will give them until October 15, 1992 to pay or make arrangement, or we will proceed to file suit in the courts.  The following persons are involved:

Robert McCauley

Jane Case

Gene Wells

Those Present: Carroll Steele, Homer Dixon, John Hobbs, Edward Arthur, Ron Repp, Roger Lindsey, Gary Jackson.

John Hobbs was present to discuss his new tap on Nabb-N.W. Rd. We did not want to cut the road here and we had given him a price to go along James Plasketts’ property, and had obtained right of way and a legal description, but John wants to bore under the road.  We have never done this.  We obtained a price from Henderson’s who has done this work.  His price is $573.15. It was decided to proceed.
