Old Business

A. Update on FWWPCC facilities planning and plant expansion: T. Peters working with Fontana to improve and access their south shore line. T. Peters met with Fontana Village President, Ron Pollitt; Craig Workman, Public Works Department; their representative; Arvid Peterson and Dave Bollweg to talk about accessing their south shore sewer line. They were really non-committal, and unsure what capacity they would have, but conversation was positive. Might run into problems with Abbey Springs. Are taking on the Yacht Club, and may put in new lift station down at the Yacht Club.

Mark presented Executive Summary and its content was discussed (attached) wherein a comparison was made between alternatives showing the present worth cost per home (over 20 years) and the 20 year Annual cost for initial construction (at 6% interest). This summary involved a 540 acre study area extending from Basswood Drive west to the Village of Fontana, and south to Highway B and contains about 265 homes. Two Type II alternatives were analyzed for a wastewater collection system: gravity sewers and low pressure sewers. Costs, risks, and feasibility discussed. T. Peters will stay in touch with Fontana and Commission to see when we might be able to get those numbers.

B. Newsletter and info mailing: Will restructure in a draft form and inform at next meeting.

C. Update on Intern Project: Lot of GPS readings done; GPS readings done in degrees and decimal minutes. Converting to something of value to homeowners and county. We'll need to input the evaluation grades for each inspected septic system and place into the Access database.

D. Discussion and possible action of local government investment pool: Tabled until Tess returns. Reviewed paperwork from Tess, and seems like a good deal--easy to use.

E. North shore facilities planning: Moving ahead. Archeological sites involved.
