REGULAR BOARD MEETING
MARCH 14, 2017
Item 1: Call Meeting to Order
President Bills called the Regular Board Meeting to order at 6:30 P.M., March 14, 2017. All Directors were present with the exception of Sandra Chilcutt and Linda Hasselstrom. Also, Manager Malcolm Tucker, Teena Worbington and 6 members were present.
Item 5: Marcia Hill Account #317
Item 5 was moved next on the agenda and Ronnie Mekim was the spokesman for Marcia Hill. Malcolm stated, Marcia Hill owned two properties and two water meters, with both adjacent to each other and the property without the home and with both water meters was used as collateral to replace her mobile home. The loan was defaulted on and the property used for collateral was seized and sold on the court house steps to Lars Hegdahl. The seized property had both water meters, therefore going with the property leaving Marcia Hill without a water meter. The family was attending the meeting asking what they needed to do to get water. The Board said, they would have to purchase a new membership because Marcia’s membership went with the seized property and they were very sorry. Johnnie Bankston said, they could pay the water meter out in a reasonable amount of time, if that would help. Malcolm stated, the Board could make a decision on the water meter situation and he could call them the next day with the decision. After the group left and the matter was discussed, Johnnie Bankston made a motion Marcia Hill purchase a new membership at a cost of $3,000.00 and would be paid out at $300.00 per month for a 12 month period, plus the monthly water bill. Gary Reynolds seconded. Vote was unanimous.
Item 6: Lars Hegdahl Account #317 & 914
Mr. Hegdahl purchased Marcia’s Hill property with both the water meters and said, he tried to work out some financial arrangement about water meter #317, but could not come to an agreement. Mr. Hegdahl was not in attendance but, Teena Worbington informed the Board what he told her.
Item 7: Bob Crowder
Mr. Crowder stated to the Board, he did not understand why he was on the agenda and why he was sent a letter about his account. He was told because, he had not paid or made a payout arrangement for the outstanding bill discussed at the February meeting. He said, they were going to pay extra on the next water bill. He was told, that was not the agreement to pay what they wanted to pay and he told the Board a payment plan had been setup. The Board said, this issue had been resolved and there would have been no problem, if it had been taken care of after the February meeting. They thanked the Crowder’s for coming and hope this was the clarity he was seeking.
