Item 7: Directors and Manager Comments
Ray Mershawn stated he was asked, if the Corporation would consider doing repair work at a lower cost on private water lines. The answer was no, it would be too much liability for the Corporation. Sandra Chilcutt asked, if continuing education could be done on the internet. Malcolm said, yes they did as much as possible. Jane Morgan asked, if we had any temp employees and said the water loss was high. Malcolm said, no one had filled out an application for the temp positions and they were still working on the water loss. Malcolm informed the Board, the new pump replaced in the Osceola Well was having the same problems. He asked Ray Mershawn, if he could visit with him the next morning to discuss some ideas, because he was more knowledgeable on motors. Ray said, he would be available. Johnnie Bankston asked, if the field employees had thrown their safety vests away or behind the seats. Malcolm said, the field employees had commented that nothing had been mentioned in a long time.
