Item 9: Directors and Manager Comments
Sandra Chilcutt asked, if we had any information on the water loss? Rodney said, he had put the line detection on the back burner. He said, he was going to pursue the radio read water meters that have been in the ground for 10 years. He continued, by saying as the meters age they could get sand, mineral buildup or debris, causing the meter from registering all the water moving thru them. Thus, possibly explaining water loss. The body of meter could possibly be replaced rather than the meter. Sandra said, the BBQ at the Annual Meeting was wonderful. Garry Reynolds stated, the only thing wrong was he didn’t have a plate now. Pam Fletcher said, she enjoyed the Annual Meeting. Also, she commented how much she appreciated Teena notifying them they might have a leak and they did find one in their pasture. Rodney said, she did that for everyone. Dottie Sulak said, she enjoyed the Annual Meeting. Johnnie Bankston said, she got side tracked because of the voting for Directors not being clear, but we prevailed. All of a sudden I realized I hadn’t been noting Directors comments, so please forgive me if I didn’t get all the comments correct. Tom Bills said, he wanted to apologize for getting rattled at the Annual Meeting, but the count for the election took us by surprise when we had two different totals. He also, asked if next year some of the Directors would help hand out door prizes.
