Presented by Diane Noble, along with

Mueller and Rogers requested that sections
of Transfer Ordinance 403 be waived. A
water supply formerly supplying a demolished
building has not been capped in compliance
with Ordinance 403.
Mueller and Rogers stated they understood
it was acceptable to install a hose bib on
this line rather than capping it. The
line has now been paved over. Diane Noble
stated this is not District procedure and
all sections of Transfer Ordinance 403
should be complied with.

a whole, schedule a Workshop meeting.
Director Mason reported on three items:
BOARD MEMBER REPORTS
1) He had been unable to contact Melvin

2) The letter received from the Public
Utilities Commissions was copied to Senator
Kopp. It has answers to questions people
have been asking and should be kept in

paper;
3) CASA's annual meeting is to be held in

tor Mason should attend the January CASA
meeting.

STAFF REPORTS
(continued)
Finance Officer:

Quarter Financial Statement was done with
the new billing system. Now that staff is

Manaqer of Wastewater Operations:
Ross Johnson reported the District
is applying for the CWPCA Plant-of-the-
Year Award. Since last year power usage
has been reduced by 8%, and chemical
usage reduced by 27%. These reductions

resourcefulness.

success. Over $100,000 has been refunded;
