Terry and Dedri Haffer were revoked and left owing the corporation $302.00. Dedri Haffer is wanting to return, but on a different piece of property with no tap on 1313.

Tim Rochelle asked, how many open work orders we had. Malcolm stated 71, but about 50 should be cleared out when water testing at home taps are done next month. Sandra Chilcutt asked, about the letter sent with the water bills. Malcolm stated, he neglected to send a quarterly report to TCEQ 6 months ago and they informed the Corporation it needed to be done. He sent the report to TCEQ and was told the membership needed to be notified by letter the report was not filed. Johnnie Bankston asked, how many calls he received and he said two. She said, she knew about the report, but the letter really sounded bad. Malcolm said, it was a form letter by TCEQ. Malcolm asked, the Board to consider a Corporation Credit Card for making Hotel reservations and internet purchases. Also, he asked the Board to consider part-time office help several times a month to learn Teena’s job. Malcolm stated, Osceola well has been off line for two weeks. The pipe from the bottom of the tank has rusted out and has to be replaced. The field staff will do the work and the painting will be touched up. The tank will be completely painted at a later date. Also, the credit card issue will be placed on the August agenda.
