Prairie Township Community Room

Present at the meeting: Max Lines, Raul Pinon, Betty Gipe, Doug Karst (Utility Supply Co. representative), Scott Cronk, George Savage, Dewey Hillman, David Greene, Sally Greene, Kenny Stockton, Diana Berry. Sharon Jessup absent due to illness.

Max called the meeting to order at 6:40PM. There were no minutes to read from the previous meeting, minutes were tabled until next month.

Sally Greene submitted a letter and repair of leaks for Jon Miles and requested an adjustment to the water billing. After discussion by the board a motion was made by Betty Gipe and seconded by Raul Pinon to adjust $85.00 plus tax from the bill to allow for the leak.

Kenny Stockton reported there are no concerns at the water treatment plant at this time. He is currently working with Scott Cronk to dig a meter pit and install new meter at 304 N Walnut. The meter is in the basement and the property was recently sold at an on-line auction. They are having trouble locating the service lateral. Will continue on this project tomorrow. Needs outside shut off valve at this address also.

Doug Karst answered questions about the proposal he made lst month concerning the purchase of a radio frequency meter reading system for the water utility. The board approved the purchase of the new system. Initial set up will be $10,000.00. This includes 20 pig tails to attach to meters for remote reading. The additional approximately 144 pig tails needed will be at the cost of $65.00 each for used. The new system will eliminate estimated water billings.

Dianna Berry came before the board to request an adjustment to her water billing for a bathroom leak she had repaired. The board agreed to adjust $85.00 plus tax. Raul made the motion and Betty seconded.

Betty said she would like to do fund raising activities this summer to raise money to purchase new Christmas decorations for the town displays. Betty and Sally Greene will serve on the committee but need more volunteers to serve as well. Dewey Hillman agreed to be on the committee.

Board approved the repair of existing chuck holes in town streets. Scott Cronk said the highway department has received a shipment of cold patch and he will contract them to be what we need. Also approved, for Scott, to replace street signs.

No other business, register of vouchers signed, and meeting adjourned.
