New Business:
.
a) Future Wellsite Issue: Engineer Mann gave the Board background information on the
wellsite located on lot 1, block 1 of Nelsen Hills Farm 5th Addition that was purchased from
the developer but was not recorded at the County as being deeded to the City. The developer
allowed the property to go into tax forfeiture and the city acquired the property at that time
(2002-2003). Recently, the city was made aware of a state requirement that tax forfeited
properties acquired by local governments must be used for the purpose which they were
acquired for or they would revert back to the state. Staff recommended that the Water Board
authorize a monitoring well to be drilled on that site. A motion was made by Shirley and
seconded by Krueger to have a monitoring well drilled on lot 1, block 1 of Nelsen Hills Farm
5th Addition. APIF, motion carried.
