One member from the publicLocation: People’s National Bank Meeting Room, 651 Scott Ave, Woodland Park, CO6:06 pm Meeting called to order by Eric KeehnOperator in Charge Report
There was a service line leak on Club Drive and it has now been fixed. Corpro tested the cathodic protection and everything tested well. Five Star Automation replaced the red-lion unit (well depth indicator) because the old one was bad. Also the transducer in the well is bad but to replace it would mean pulling it from the well. All agreed to wait until the pump needs to be replaced to replace the transducer at the same time. The electricians reprogrammed the auto start on the V.F.D. drive. The auto start program was set to 0; therefore, it would not auto start. It was reset to 2 and it should auto start now. There has been abnormally high water usage on Illini Dr. It is being metered and the renter is working with the landlord to get it resolved. All well meters were tested last month and all passed but the master meter. Marty is now doing reads off of the individual wells. Reporting of water loss due to unaccountable reasons should now be more accurate. Installation of the new hydrant on Loafers Lane will be done in about three weeks.
Public Comments
A resident came to the meeting and questioned water payment processing. He did not understand why his was late. Said this is the first time that he had been late. Terry told him that he received two checks in the same envelope and the second check was dated two days later. Terry suggested that he talk to bank. The board agreed to waive the late fee this time. The resident wanted to know if the water bills could be sent electronically. Candy explained that we do not have a program in place to do that and would have to check on the legal ramifications and costs if the board was to consider that option in the future. Questions were asked about our bond financing and there was a discussion.
The resident was also concerned about WLWD providing water to Woodland Park and the city’s possible increasing needs. Eric explained that Westwood Lakes residents have first priority. Woodland Park has not accessed WLWD water in 2015 and does have many other resources for water. When Woodland Park does purchase water, our water operator monitors the usage and our Westwood Lakes residents’ needs. It was also mentioned that Woodland Park has its own pump house.

Consent Items/Financials
The May 13, 2015 meeting minutes were reviewed and approved.
Bookkeeper’s Report
– Candy Amerine presented the May, 2015 unaudited financial compilation statements.
Check Review
– Candy pointed out that Frances McLaurin’s check was for two months, the UPS Check was for two months due to the fact that there was not an invoice last month so the payment was held and verified. Marty verified that the check to Mountain States Pipe & Supply was for ordered meter parts.
Account Status/Billing Issues

Operator in Charge Report
–          Marty Parrish stated that the meter transmitter installed at a WLWD residency was still not working and Candy Amerine said that they have been on an average billing until the meter can be repaired. The transmitter has now been replaced and rewired. Kirby is to check it. Marty said that June 22, 2015 will be a good time to replace the water hydrants on Shadowood and Loafers Lane and said that fourteen homes may be out of water if there is not a valve to cut off the water Marty said that the second hydrant on Loafers Lane will not be necessary because there is a blow off valve. Marty is to get the addresses of the homes that may be out of water and it was agreed that the phone numbers would be split and the homeowners will be called to let them know in advance.
–          The 2015 CCR report was reviewed and that Kip Wiley with Woodland Park was concerned about the violations on the last page but the violations were due to the testing company that was used losing their license. The testing was moved to another company and the violations were dismissed. There is not a Certificate of Delivery but this can be printed from the Colorado State website. Terry Amerine is going to get this from the States website and put a copy of the CCR on the bulletin board and on the WLWD website to comply with the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment’s requirement that it be posted in two places. This has to be done by July 1, 2015. Marty is to test for lead and copper in five of the older homes. This can be done only between June and August and requires one set only.
–          Marty will order the second half of the chemicals next month.
–          Marty to show Terry and Eric how to turn on the generator.
Old Business
Rules & Regs
–          Terry Amerine is concerned about paid tap fees. It was determined by reviewing the Rules and Regulations that if someone has paid the tap fee on a vacant lot, they cannot sell the water tap. The person purchasing the lot would have to pay a new tap fee at the current rate.
–          A homeowner is not allowed to shut off or turn on a water valve at the main. Only the WLWD Water Operator can do this.
–          Terry Amerine presented a copy of the Rules and Regulations for each member of the board and Candy Amerine suggested that we include some time to review a portion each meeting. Eric Keehn agreed and it will be added to Old Business.
Infrastructure
– Candy Amerine learned from the auditor that people can donate money, time or supplies to the WLWD and that this may be something to look in to when we get ready to replace the water main.
– Candy Amerine is going to fill out the survey saying that WLWD wants to keep what they have been approved for on the eligibility list. All agreed.
Squirrel Patrol

Bike Racks
Candy Amerine talked to the insurance company. The liability pool will be contacted and will provide the board liability insurance information related to allowing a bike rack on the property.
2014 Audit
Candy Amerine met with the auditor and the draft is almost finished. Vectra Bank sent the wrong information so that held up the audit. Vectra Bank has sent the correct document and the audit should be completed on time and be available for the July meeting.
Transparency
Eric Keehn is to be listed as the contact.
New Business
Grass Cutting
The same contractor from last year is mowing around the lake again this year. He purchased turf tires for his tractor so should do a better job. It was still wet when he mowed and there were a lot of clumps.
SDA Training in Fountain
Terry Amerine, Candy Amerine and Frances McLaurin will be attending the training. Candy is to register Frances for the workshop.
Procedures for Increasing Water Rates

She made a motion to put the notice to the public on the July water bills that are issued 7-01-2015 and on the transparency linked on our Web site and listed with the Special District Association.

Eric will present the proposal to the county. He made a motion to allow the county to use the Lake Ruth water on our Westwood Lake roads unless the Water Operator determines the need to cease.
