MINUTES
WATER BOARD MEETING
REGULAR
FEBRUARY 22, 1995
1. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Shirley.
Members Present: Shirley, Chell, Wier.
Members Absent: None.
Also Present: Assistant City Engineer Kennedy.
2. The agenda was approved as submitted.
3. MOTION by Shirley, second by Chell to approve the minutes of
January 23, 1995 as prepared. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
4. It was noted that City Engineer Kaldunski would not be present
at the meeting.
5. There was a discussion of current well use and location of current
wells in relation to well sites for the future and the future reservoir
sites. No action was taken. Further discussion is needed.
6. The water report to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
was discussed. It was determined that a fee of $609.04 is to be paid
for water usage. MOTION by Wier, second by Chell to authorize payment
of the annual fee. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
7. A request to fund drop boxes for collection of fees to the City was
discussed. It was felt that since the City collects all fees, this
really didn't involve the Water Board. Instead, it was felt that if
a box which causes people to go into a retail store is installed, the
funding should be provided by the store since they benefit from the
improved traffic to the store. The matter was tabled.
8. A discussion of electrical bills came about. It was felt that
there was something amiss in the NSP bills since there was a charge
of over $250.00 for 71 KW of electricity usage. It was decided that
this was likely due to an electric heater in the wellhouse being
hooked to the standby meter for the well itself. The Board directed
Member Wier to discuss this matter with City Engineer Kaldunski.
MOTION by Wier, second by Chell to approve payment of the bills in
the amount of $13,929.71. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
9. A short discussion of water rates was held. Further discussion is
needed. The Finance Director is to be requested to attend the March
meeting for further discussion.
10. MOTION by Shirley, second by Chell to adjourn. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED.
