K.B.S.D. September 2025
In attendance: Gil Tumey, Dave Conboy, Larry Uptain, Doni Guyer, directors; Stacy Wilhelm, secretary; Anthony Hall, plant operator; Dan Larson, Engineer.
No conflicts or corrections.
A motion to approve the minutes from the August 11, 2025 meeting was made by Guyer and seconded by Conboy. Motion passed.
A motion to accept the Treasurer’s report and bills paid through August, 31 2025, was made by Conboy and seconded by Uptain. Motion passed.
A letter was received from Rich & Teri Dahm regarding their shared tank. There was much discussion and the board agreed that since we just received approval of the planning grant and the tank would eventually be replaced as part of this plan, the Dahm’s would be given the choice to replace the tank now and or wait the 2-3 years when the new plan is implemented. If they choose to wait, the risk of a potential backup would be at their expense. Dan Larson will reach out to the Dahm’s and discuss their options.
OPERATIONS REPORT:
Hall reported August was slower month than expected. He has a customer with a tank lid that needs replaced due to a crack from someone driving over it. Board agreed that the customer is responsible for the cost of the lid but the district will not charge for the labor. Hall will order the lid and also a few more to have on-hand. He reported a call for a customer that is one a grinder pump and they had a backup due to wipes and feminine products that were flushed down the toilet. Board agreed the customer should be responsible for the cost of the repair.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
Wilhelm reported that she reached out to all the customers that she still needs email addres for and also included a note in the bills to all the customers that are currently being billed quarterly to see if anyone would prefer annual billing.
OLD/NEW BUSINESS:
Dan Larson reported that the planning grant application was submitted and has been approved. Now just waiting for the contract from DEQ and he expects we should have that back soon.
Wilhelm presented a proposed budget for 2026 and hard copies were provide to board members to review for discussion at the October board meeting.
Motion to adjourn was made by Uptain and seconded by Guyer. Motion passed.
Respectfully submitted,
Stacy Wilhelm
Secretary/Treasurer
