Old Business:
•	Attorney Letter of Engagement Review
After much discussion and a slight change to the document, Attorney Norrick’s letter of engagement was signed by District President Kimmel. 

•	Median Household Income (MHI) survey update
Rich and Janet Hirsch visited the Bono-Del subdivision and verified the addresses on Sunset, Crescent, and Whipperwill. The map of Bono-Del with control numbers that was originally drawn by Larry Kimmel was redrawn with slight modifications and sent to Dennis Siders of the Midwest Assistance Program. Dennis is tabulating the MHI survey results. Surveys still need to be distributed to the seven homeowners that live on Whipperwill. An email from Dennis indicated he would be out of the office until March 10. We will try very hard to get survey respondents to reply no latter than March 15, which will finalize the survey. 

•	Grant availability update
On Wednesday, Feb. 21, Marilyn Meyer and Rich Hirsch will meet with Barbara Bohley in Pacific Missouri to talk about using her services to secure grants. Apparently she has worked with the Brush Creek Sewer District in Franklin County and has secured a number of non-sewer project grants for the city of Pacific, Missouri. 

New Business:	
There was no new business.

Engineer’s Report:
Anne Scott (Brunjes Associates) sent us maps of the District that were requested by the Missouri Water and Wastewater Review Committee (MWWEC) in their Dec 20, 2006 letter. The maps consisted of an aerial view of the district (from the FSA) and a map of the District showing the houses to be served. We still have to go over the map carefully, but most of the houses seem to be accurately positioned. (An earlier map had numerous errors.)

In response to a question, Anne said that the District will own everything up to and including the STEP tank, while the homeowner will own everything up to the STEP tank.

Attorney's Report:
Att. Norrick talked about some of the difficulties in obtaining easements. Att. Norrick said he needs to examine the Lake Tishomingo Plat and Lake Tishomingo Restrictions to determine what easements the District will have to obtain.  

Adjournment:
There being no other formal business to come before the Board, a motion to adjourn was made by Rich Hirsch and seconded by Marilyn Meyer at 8:11 p.m., with all Directors in approval.

Respectfully Submitted,

Rich Hirsch
Recording Secretary

Approved this 20th day of March, 2007.
