Foothills residents – Here are the minutes from the JFD #1 Annual Meeting, held Tuesday February 15, 2022.
Attendees: Fred Lavenberg, Brian Stevens, Marilyn Marshall, Chris Laskowski, Chris Lavorgna, Ann Kroll Lerner, Dottie Windisch, Drew Bulfer, Charlie Windisch, Jeffrey Earl.
Meeting was called to order at 7:05pm.

1. Marilyn Marshall was introduced at the new JFD #1 bill collector. (Jeannie Satink will continue to mail out the quarterly bills.) As a reminder, the quarterly bills remain at the $235 rate.
2. Elections: Jeff Earl was elected President. Drew Bulfer was elected to join the Prudential Committee. Charlie Windisch and Brian Stevens were elected to remain in their current positions of Secretary and Treasurer, respectively.
3. State Permit status for the greensand filter replacement: Fred reported the permit is currently in the public comment period, which lasts for two weeks. Thus, we expect approval by March 1, 2022.
4. Culligan reported it will take about 4-6 weeks to begin the filter/structure replacement. Given we expect approval from the state March 1, Culligan should be able to replace the filter in the early April timeframe.
5. Financing the filter replacement: Two options here. a) Line of credit from Community Bank; loan from the State Drinking Water Fund. We are on the State list, but currently below the cut-off line (but close). This list gets updated every few weeks (projects are added/removed) so there is a chance we can still get funding from the State. Two advantages of using the Drinking water fund: a) The interest rate is lower; b) Oftentimes part of the loan is forgiven.
6. There was some discussion on improving the current bill pay method – ie, moving to either an on-line payment option or an automatic checking account deduction. When the committee has a proposal, it will be sent out to the Foothills development for comment.

Meeting was adjourned at 8pm. Next meeting: Tuesday March 15, 2002 at 7pm.
