Item 7: Raymond Lee Acct 1527 High Usage Help
Mr. Lee did not appear at the meeting. His grandson’s high bills were discussed. The policy of the Corporation is if the water passed thru the meter the customer is responsible for the bill. So, unfortunately there was nothing the Board of Directors could do about the high bill.

The new rates for the Grandfathered Health Plan that we currently have are increasing. The new rate will be $2,416.10 up from $1,789.60. After discussion Charles Jones made a motion to continue the Grandfathered Plan with the new rate of $2,416.10. Ray Mershawn seconded. Vote was unanimous.
Item 6: Directors and Managers Comments
Mr. Bills discussed the value of water as it becomes increasingly scarce, sharing an article on a water situation in Weeds, California where the land owners of the well for the city water supply raised the rate to the city from $1.00 to $97,500.00 a year. Sandra Chilcutt questioned if guest quarters needed a separate meter. Malcolm replied it would not if it was attached by a breeze way. Nelda Burt stated she had received comments from a customer about the trucks driving too fast down the dirt roads and not fixing water leaks.
Nelda also asked about bids for the 89 Blue Dodge C250 truck, the engine analysis on the trencher and about Rodney Votaw. Malcolm stated there was one bid of $400.00 from Garry L. Reynolds. Mr. Bills asked if there was a motion to sell the 89 Dodge C250 to Mr. Garry L. Reynolds. Nelda Burt made a motion to sell the 89 Dodge C250 to Mr. Gary L. Reynolds for $400.00. Charles Jones seconded. Vote was unanimous with Ray Mershawn abstaining. Malcolm stated the 934 Bore was complete. He suggested we use the Kubitza Brothers for all our bores in the future. They charge $600.00 to $800.00 and have the equipment to do 8” bores. The Board approved the Kubitza brother to do our bores in the future, passing the cost of the bore plus $200.00 to the customer. Malcolm also stated there was a potential customer wanting a meter on the section of 1207 that we do not have lines on. He quoted her $5,000.00 over the price of a membership to extend the line. She has not responded back yet. Malcolm relayed to the Board that Rodney was back at work and he thanked the Board for paying him while he could not work.
