Water Committee
Meeting Minutes
May 1, 2001

Present: Jim Davis Rick Johnson Mike Shelton Harriet Vaugeois

Absent: Michael Hughes Will Potter John Woods

Rick, Jim and Harriet met just prior to the committee meeting with Clyde Young and Scot Burbidge of the Clyde Young and Company consulting engineer group from Pueblo. Clyde was brought up to date on the status of the Santa Fe Trail Ranch water system and was given a tour of the Ranch including a look at our pump stations and water tanks. Clyde requested a list of information on the history and design of the system he would need to develop a proposal for an engineering analysis. Rick and Jim are in the process of compiling this information and will forward it to Clyde as soon as possible.

Mike Shelton agreed to take responsibility for coordinating the return of the excess parts inventory from Denver.

The promissory note and modifications to the draft bond letter will be completed by Friday, May 4th.

Rick reported on his telephone conversation with Bill Schafer who is interested in the water system manager position. Bill will be asked to forward his resume of qualifications before a face-to-face meeting. In addition to Bill, one other candidate has been identified and Rick will have a preliminary conversation with that person in the next week.

It does not appear that the Pump one part has been ordered. Jim Davis agreed to take care of this when he contacts Kessler regarding the partial payment decision.

Vern Jaschke has been in contact with Rick and reported that he is almost finished with the “as built” drawings. He indicated that they would be ready for pick up on Monday, May 7th. Rick will forward this information to our attorney’s office.

The next scheduled meeting is Tuesday, May 15th at 4:00 p.m. at Jim Davis’ house.
