Water Committee
Meeting Minutes
June 27, 2001

Present: Jim Davis Rick Johnson Will Potter Mike Shelton John Woods Harriet Vaugeois

Also Present: Don Canella Vern Jaschke Dave Olson

Absent: Mike Shelton

Dave Olson formally accepted the role of water system manager during this period of start-up and testing. He will work with both Vern Jaschke and the OPEC representatives. Details on compensation will be finalized in the next week or so.

In an effort to keep Kesler informed of developments with the water system, Rick agreed to forward him copies of our recent “letter of understanding” to OPEC.

Don Canella of OPEC was concerned about the exact date that the warranty begins on road repairs. The Committee agreed to respond to OPEC promptly after a review of the contract or other documentation to verify this date.

Also, Don indicated that it was important from OPEC’s perspective that the Metro District “clear the air” on any old claims regarding OPEC work prior to commencing with leak detection and repairs. Jim Davis indicated that a letter would be forwarded to this effect.

The issue of who is responsible for the cost of water during the leak detection and repair process was raised. After a short discussion, it became apparent that this was unclear and that the parties should refer to the original contract to make this determination. This review will be completed prior to the next meeting.

Rick reported that the repairs to Pump #1 were completed. Vern then reviewed his updated protocol for the completion of leak detection and repair of leaks in the water system to get us to the point of sanitization and testing for approval for use. Vern also indicated that he would test and adjust all PRV’s as OPEC checks the lines.

OPEC set the date of Monday, July 9th at 9 a.m. for the start of their work. Vern, Dave Olson and members of the Water Committee will be on site also.

The next meeting of the Committee will be on July 12, 2001 at 10:30 a.m. at the Johnson’s guesthouse followed by a lunch meeting at 11:30 a.m. with OPEC and Vern to discuss progress of the testing process and follow-up on other business. The regularly scheduled meeting of the Water Committee on July 10th has been cancelled.
