Communication for July was presented by Mr. Jumps from Paul Schmidt of Kemper CPA Group related to our financials for July 1995. Also presented was a monthly update memo from Proctor and O’Neill. Mr. Jumps indicated that the tax exemption had been filed and we are currently waiting for an answer from Springfield. He also indicated that the 1996 Budget meeting will be in two months. Per Ron Lada, meter replacement is 50 meters away from completion. Mr. Betts stressed that all board members be present for the Budget Preparation Meeting in October and that they be called prior to the meeting as a reminder. It was also decided that action had to be taken on the John Ryan account as no payments have been made toward the installation nor the minimum monthly water bill for the past 8 months.

Relating to the Donow line extension, Mr. Jumps explained that Ordinance 94-3, as indicated in Mr. Donow’s letter, Section C refers to “further” extension. Only at the time Buncombe Public Water District extends from the existing line, will Mr. Donow no longer be eligible to claim recovery costs. The Board gave a verbal OK to accept Mr. Donow’s proposal for recovery costs with the exception of the section of land on the north side of the road as it is not in our district.
