President Richard Greenhill called the Regular Board Meeting of the Woodrow-Osceola Water Supply Corporation to order at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, October 14, 2008. All Directors were present with the exception of Jane Morgan, James Flanery and Tim Rochelle. Employee Teena Worbington was also present, due to Malcolm Tucker’s illness.
Item 2: Approve Minutes
Johnnie Bankston read the minutes from the September 9, 2008 Regular Board Meeting. Linda Hasselstrom made a motion to accept the minutes as read. Thomas Bills seconded. Vote was unanimous.
Item 3: Directors Source and Application of Funds
Teena Worbington presented the Source due to Malcolm’s absence. During discussion, John Milburn asked to make a note in the minutes of concerns that small tool cost continues to grow. The Directors discussed the solution would be accountability for field employees to be responsible for tools and equipment. Thomas Bills made a motion to accept the Source as presented. Linda Hasselstrom seconded. Vote was unanimous.
Item 4: Well #6
A plan “B” for Well #6 was discussed for scaling back the $1.3 million project. The “B” plan would be only drilling the well and piping the raw water to the Jawbone well for distribution. If necessary we could add a couple of rings to the Jawbone storage tank and plan “B” would suffice for the Corporation to be in compliance with TCEQ and the estimated cost would be $684,000. When the economic picture changes the Corporation could add the pumping station and elevated storage. The consensus of the Board was this would be a better option for the Corporation in these economic times.
Item 5: Directors and Manager Comments
Sandra Chilcutt listed numerous concerns and stated she would re-address them in the November meeting.
Item 6: Membership Changes
Thomas Bills made a motion to accept 2 new memberships, 5 transfers, no revokes and no sellbacks. Sandra Chilcutt seconded. Vote was unanimous.
Item 7: Public Comment

Item 8: Executive Session
None
Item 9: Ajourn
