Attendees: Fred Lavenberg, Brian Stevens, Ann Lerner Kroll, Jeff Earl, Charlie Windisch

Meeting Location: Deborah Rawson Library meeting room

The meeting was called to order at 7:05pm

1. Minutes from the February meeting were approved.
2. 1^st quarter bill status: Marilyn reports one household has not paid yet. She is working with them.
3. Bill autopay option thru Community Bank: 11 Families have signed on thus far. (Autopay option means never being late with your water bill payment. It makes the bill collector’s job that much easier. If interested contact Marilyn Marshall).
4. Second quarter bills have not gone out as of the meeting date. Jeannie reports they should be out by the end of the week.
5. Bond (loan) from the State drinking water fund: The committee continues to work with the State to resolve an issue with the sam.gov website. Brian and Charlie met (via an online meeting) for 1 ½ hours on March 14 with our loan processor to try to diagnose the problem. We believe some progress has been made. (Note: Other water districts are dealing with this same issue – it is a known problem.)
6. The antenna at the reservoir was not replaced. Verizon has made upgrades to the service and it was felt this would improve communication between the pump house and the reservoir. Jeff will monitor the communication link to see if it has improved.
7. Curb stop replacement: Committee to contact SOS to get the list of problematic curb stops (shut off / blow off valves). We also need to contact the excavator (Chris Wells) to schedule time this summer to get the replacement work done.
8. Next meeting: April 18, 2023.

Meeting ended at 7:45pm.

Location: Deborah Rawson Library meeting room.

Attendees: Fred Lavenberg, Drew Bulfer, Brian Stevens, Chris Laskowski, Ann Lerner-Kroll, Jeffrey Earl, Charlie Windisch

Meeting was called to order at 7:11 pm.

1. Minutes from the January 2023 meeting were approved.
2. Bill collector report (Marilyn Marshall): 6 January payments have not yet been received. Late notices have been sent out.
3. Autopay option thru Community Bank: 9 households have signed up. With this option, future water bills can be paid with an automatic deduction from your Community Bank account. You don’t have to write a check/mail it in, and you will never be late. This also makes the bill collector’s job that much easier.
4. Financial status: Brian reports our financial standing is good. We have roughly $29K in our account. $15K remains to be paid to Culligan for the greensand filter replacement last summer. 
5. The $60K bond (loan) from the State drinking water revolving fund is hung up in the sam.gov website. We are not the only ones in this position – it has become a known problem that other fire districts are trying to deal with. The committee is working with the state employee who handled our application to try to resolve (hopefully soon).
6. The communication between the reservoir and the pump house is still somewhat marginal. The antenna was supposed to have been replaced (not sure this happened). Jeff to check on this.
7. Asset Management Plan (AMP) – Drew to fill out the application with the state. The water engineer (Tyler Billingsly/East Engineering) has agreed to provide his services. This program will give JFD #1 priority in the event dollars are needed in the future for upgrades/repairs.

Meeting adjourned at 7:44pm.
