Options were discussed and their were several names mentioned that possibly could handle the problem. Malcolm discussed with the Board a VF Drives to aid well pumps in their 3 phase operations to convert each phase separately, so as not to have the pumps starting at max speed and possibly extending the pumps life and using less electricity. The item will be placed on the March agenda, if all info has been collected. Also, placed on the March agenda for discussion will be a larger Equipment Trailer and Mini Trackhoe.
