K.B.S.D. July 2025
In attendance: Gil Tumey, Dave Conboy, Larry Uptain, TimVentress, 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 June 7, 2025 meeting was made by Conboy and seconded by Ventress. Motion passed.
A motion to accept the Treasurer’s report and bills paid through June 30, 2025, was made by Uptain and seconded by Guyer. Motion passed.
OPERATIONS REPORT:
Hall reported he had a busy month. He stated he had RC Worst test two pumps before he replaced them and they found it was only a problem with the floats so using them to diagnose issues is saving the district money. Hall asked for confirmation from the board that customers are responsible for the cost to uncover tank lids that are not accessible and the board agreed it is the customers cost. Hall reported he had some concerns about roots causing issues with some tanks and Larson said it is ok to use root killer. Hall will keep an eye on these tanks and will do maintenance as needed. He is also inquiring with RC Worst if we need to have a spare irrigation pump due to how long it would take to get a replacement if the pump goes bad, currently there is an issue with the check valve that he is getting repaired. He will report back to the board next month. He is also working with Fritz Broschet from Granite Reeder to get his updated licensing information.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
Wilhelm reported that working on getting all the addresses and LID numbers confirmed for new maps.
OLD/NEW BUSINESS:
Dan Larson reported that we received the invitation to apply for the planning grant, we ranked #6 and they funded up to #7. Application is due the end of October but he will work on getting it in as soon as possible, and these are state funds. The planning project will include eliminating shared tanks and getting tanks sized properly for the size of homes or multiple homes.
There was discussion regarding availability of new ER’s for purchase and it was agreed upon that the district does have capacity to sell additional ER’s, they are currently $20,000. Larson also gave guidance that full-time RV hookups are two to one ER ratio and recreational RV’s sharing a dump station are four to one ER.
Motion to adjourn was made by Uptain and seconded by Ventress. Motion passed.
Respectfully submitted,
Stacy Wilhelm
Secretary/Treasurer
