3# FINANCIAL REPORT: Financial report was submitted to the Board for approval.

Financial report was approved unanimously with a motion by Bob Davis, seconded by

4# MANAGERS REPORT:  Report on number of water wells currently registered in DeWitt Co.  ____.   Gen. Mgr. Bob McCurdy suggested that we move forward with a

program to promote well registration; with news releases, and ways to get the public more informed and involved.  Bubba Steen asked if we could put a deadline on free well registration and then charge a fee for registration after that time. Suggestion will be taken under consideration for more discussion.  Dist. Mgr. Bob McCurdy then informed the Board that our engineering for the Alliance group is still under scrutiny by the TWDB and until they decide to accept the findings, that we may have to postpone our Rules & Mgt. revisal. Bubba Steen offered to check into State contacts to see if we could get the engineering moving forward.  Also Dist. Mgr. will make calls to TWDB & Dr. Uddamerri to accelerate approval of the GAM. A discussion was opened on geo-thermal wells scheduled to be drilled in the County and it was decided to contact Jim Allison for a determination on whether these wells should be permitted, and what kind of permit might be required.   

It was noted by General Mgr. that we needed more regulation on the capacity of new wells drilled and equipped by the driller.  However, since current rules do not address this issue, we have no option, but to deny permits to non-compliant water well drillers.  Whether we have the authority to deny permits was discussed and it was agreed to discuss this with our attorney for guidance.

 

5# REQUESTS TO BOARD: General Mgr. Bob McCurdy asked the Board for approval of and overhead projector, range finder/ distance meter, and new office computer.  Board approved expenditure of $1500.00 for the purchase of these items with a motion by Bubba Steen, seconded by Gary Colman, passed unanimously.

The Board then reviewed the prospectus for an employee retirement plan, and decided that the plan submitted was not feasible for two employees with one part-time.

 

6#  ADJOURNMENT:  There being no other agenda items, a motion to adjourn was made by Bubba Steen and seconded by Bob Davis, unanimously passed and the meeting was adjourned at 5:15 PM.
