AGENDA ITEMS:
Tom Stephens briefed us on what his records showed as where we left off when Schrepfer discontinued their work.
It was consistent with what Shrepfer's daily work records showed. Known leaks were identified and prioritized for
continued work. Mike Shelton and Bob Scott went over the road repair priorities to coordinate further leak testing to
optimize the opportunity for road work.
Wade discussed the work to be done on the Starkville line and their stategy to isolate what is believed to be a leak.
In discussing the meter readings at the City tap from April of this year whne they discontinued work and November
3rd, it was unclear if the City had actually shut off the tap (as they said they would) or not. It is clear that if they did,
there is either a problem with the City's valve or we have a case of someone tampering it. The decision was made to
have Wade work with Jim Fernandez to determine the facts, but in any case to secure that meter pit with a lock.
Wade reported that the line from pump 2 to the first storage tank is tight all the way. All six pump stations will be secured
with locks. It is apparent from recent inspection that we must secure all vulnerable aspects of the system. The crew is
currently completing unfinished preparatory work and an additional crew should be added next week.
The decision was made to get rid of the seatrain storage unit. It is an unecessary expense as Schrepfer has similar storage
that will be easier for them to access as they attempt to use what they can of the unnecessary over-purchasing OPEC made.
Wade said that the City told him they may have a use for some of the iron fittings and valves we will never use in their gas and
water line work.
Bill Grande is lining up materials, costs and protocol for getting the pump stations we have decided to put below ground and
for the construction of secure and insulated pump station sheds for those we will leave above ground. The costs should fall
within the budget he gave in the spring.
Wade will check each pump to get them prepared for colder temperatures until they are sunk or covered by a shed.
Recent communications with our lawyer were discussed along with correspondence received from the bonding company's
attorney, outlining their disclosures for the mediation hearing.
A recent communication from a property owner was also discussed, but due to its nature and that party's involvement in our
litigation, it was referred to our lawyer and consulting engineer for their review and disposition.
Our next meeting will be held Wed, Nov. 12th, at 8:30 at the Holiday Inn.
