Item 8: Directors and Manager Comments
Ray Mershawn stated, we consider one employee attending Regular Meetings with pay, to familiarize themselves with material covered and Board members will be able to get to know them. The Board felt it was a good idea and stated they should attend the Annual Meeting. Also, he stated we should expand our security at the office, by placing a buzzer at the front door to enter the building and a camera to identify the person. Malcolm stated, we have the capability to put the program in place and the back door will stay locked with admittance only with fob or swipe card. Sandra Chilcutt asked, if a system was implemented, if a problem arose? Malcolm stated no, but they will work on a policy. John Milburn stated, they needed a safe room. Also, Sandra stated the water loss was still high. Malcolm stated, they were closing in on the problem, but still not sure, since it is a 50,000 gallons a day loss. Malcolm said, he had good news on credit card paid bills. Heartland Payment System and Tech Warehouse have a system that most customers cost will be reduced. Transactions will carry a 4% fee from Heartland plus $1.00 from Tech Warehouse, based on the amount of the bill. Bills exceeding $100.00 will pay more than the current $5.00 model. The Corporation will not be charged anything because, Transaction Warehouse is fully integrated with RVS software and there are many more features as shown by the attached benefits memo.

Item 9: Executive Session
