Treasurer’s Report

Treasurer Meyer reported that a refund was received from the Jefferson County Election Authority of $88.32. This was a refund for the Nov. 2006 bond election. The refund will be deposited in the LTPOA account to reduce the amount borrowed by the Sewer District from the LTPOA. 

Old Business

Marilyn Meyer reported that the Board received a letter from Joe Boland of the MO Dept of Natural Resources (MO DNR) dated July 27, 2007 that they received PWSD #13’s application to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund for fiscal year 2008. If we receive grant money, the District will receive the “40% construction grant” and “rural sewer grant” funds from the State Revolving Fund.

We also received a form to apply for the Rural Sewer Grant from Tim Robbs, our engineer. On the last page of this application was a Project Schedule that contained these dates:
A. Engineering Design Complete -- Jan '09
B. All other funding is secured -- Jul '08
C. Engineering Plans and Specs complete -- Jan '09
D. Construction Start date -- May '09

There was some discussion of these dates. Rich Hirsch will ask Tim Robbs to confirm these dates.

Rich Hirsch will also ask about grant money becoming available to us after the Nov. 2008 election. Larry Kimmel said he remembered something about bonds being issued after the Nov. 2008 election to provide grant money for projects such as ours. 

We have still not received any advice from our attorney Mr. Norrick on how to handle the $42,153.67 bill from our former engineer Mr. Brunjes. 

New Business:

Marilyn Meyer indicated that we do not have a copy of the final Engineering Services Contract between PWSD #13 and Taylor Engineering signed by all parties. Nor do we have a signed copy of the addendum to the Engineering Services Contract for resident inspection. Rich Hirsch will ask Tim Robbs for copies of these documents.

The second document that the USDA-RD requires us to publish, Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact, was placed in the Jefferson County Leader. We believe this to be the last document USDA-RD will require us to publish. 

Marilyn Meyer read aloud a letter from Representative Ryan McKenna to Doyle Childers, MO DNR. The letter supported giving grant money to PWSD #13 for sewer construction.
