Integrated Financial Plan (IFP):
Chuck presented the IFP with a Power Point presentation. The question of Glenn Harvey payment was discussed as to the payment being made from the current operations account rather than the Expansion account. Jacquie will transfer the money to the correct account.
LID-86 of the 224 LID assessments have been paid to date. The payment is due April 1st 2011. The budget needs to be adjusted for mileage reimbursement and vehicle expense.
Current Operations forecast needs to be added to next month agenda as to the future sewer hookups, the LID shortfall and the repayment of the new loan. The District will need for 25-30 people to hook up to sewer service by 2012 for the pay back of the loan to occur. The Board needs to approach septic tank users to encourage them to hook up very soon.
The Expansion project- we have not received any reimbursement from DEQ to date. The expansion project time line was discussed. The land survey is scheduled for April and the Fish Hatchery lift station for May. JUB will call for bids for the lift station in June and the bids for the rest of the rest of the project will take place by July.
