Also Present: Dave Olson

Absent: John Woods

Rick Johnson opened the meeting with a brief summary of the meeting with OPEC on July 9, 2001. The key topics discussed at meeting include:

• OPEC hiring of Michael Hughes as their project manager to oversee the completion of the Santa Fe Trail Ranch water system
• OPEC agreed to follow the protocol developed by Vern Jaschke
• Agreement was reached that the road warranty period began on June 12, 2000
• The issue of which party covers the cost of water during testing and repair is not clear in the original contract and will be resolved at or before our next meeting
• Fluid Automation Systems (Kesler) will be asked to OK the operation of the pumps by OPEC during the testing period
• As built drawings will be made available to OPEC
• PRV adjustments will be made by OPEC and the Santa Fe Trail Ranch water system manager under the direction of Vern
• The Santa Fe Trail Ranch will be responsible for the cost of miscellaneous parts
• An on-going meeting schedule will be established after work has began

Rick then presented a draft of the duties to be performed by the water system manager, which was approved by the Committee.

Jim Davis presented a “completion agreement” proposed by OPEC through Mike Hughes and indicated he will forward this to our attorney for review and comment. This information also addresses the issue of water costs during the testing and sign-off process.

Rick stated his opinion that every effort should be made to retain the services of Vern Jaschke to guide us through OPEC’s operation. However Vern has raised an issue of a previous financial obligation that must be resolved. Rick will arrange for a meeting with Vern and members of the Metro District Board to resolve this matter as well as clarifying and documenting the precise role that Vern would play.

The next meeting of this committee will be announced.
