Meeting location: Deborah Rawson Library Meeting room

Attendees: Fred Lavenberg, Drew Bulfer, Jeff Earl, Brian Stevens, Charlie Windisch

Meeting was called to order at 7:10pm

1. The minutes from the October meeting were approved.

2. Bill pay status: Marilyn Marshall reported (via separate email) there are a handful of households delinquent in paying the 4th quarter bills. Late notices have been sent out.

3. Financial picture: Brian reports we are in good shape. With the dollars from the greensand filter loan our reserves have been rebuilt. Cash flow is good.

4. Asset Management Program update: Jeff reports JFD #1 has attended the mandatory workshops. The engineer mapping out lines, valve locations and inventorying our system has completed a draft report. The report has been circulated to the Prudential Committee for review and comment. There are remaining items on the checklist that need to be addressed to complete this activity. Jeff and Drew are working on it.

5. Service line inventory (SLI) – Per State requirement, the water lines from the curb stop to each Foothills house must be checked for lead. (There are a few exceptions – homes built after 1989 do not need to be checked as the State outlawed the use of lead pipes). Each home should have received a letter from MSK Engineering explaining what needs to be done. There are two options: 1) Self report. The homeowner takes a picture of the water pipe coming into the house and sends it to MSK. 2) An appointment can be made with MSK whereby they will come to check the water line. It is expected that all water lines are copper and that nothing further will need to be done. (Questions? Contact the Prudential Committee).

6. Pumps at the reservoir: We now have the new pump installed, as well as a refurbished pump in place. (There is also a spare pump – just in case). 

7. The heater at the pump house is shot and needs to be replaced. The committee will look into getting a replacement.

8. The lower fields will be brush hogged before the snow flies.

9. 2024 budget – to be discussed at an upcoming meeting.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:55pm
