DISCUSSION
Superintendent Report:
Gary reported that the new plant kept up with consumption and ran fine over the Memorial Day weekend. He also informed the board that the 4” master meter previously ordered still had a few weeks left until the estimated delivery date, and the security camera installation is next on Kenny DeWitt’s schedule. Gary noted that the old water plant will need to be capped off before winter so he will contact Decker Construction to get a bid. Gary also provided information on a 10 day course in September for Travis to attend which will provide enough hours for him to take the test for Class C operator certification. Harlan Horst made a motion for Travis to attend and Jeffrey Speaker seconded. All members were in favor; motion carried.
Kyle Parkhurst, President, announced the next meeting would be July 18, 2023 at the water plant. The meeting was adjourned at 5:30pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Harlan Horst
