Stillwater, Minnesota, February 9, 1961 Regular Meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Thursday, February 9, 1961 at 4:30 P.M. All Commissioners present. President Peaslee presiding. " The minutes of the regular meeting held on January 12, 1961 were read and approved. The Secretary read a letter from WAVN asking permission to install a receiving antenna on the West Myrtle Street Standpipe. After some discussion, Board members felt they should co- operate with the station and agreed to give permission to WAVN under certain conditions and by Ir charging the station a nominal sum, $25.00 per year, as rental. The f ' 4 Secretary was instructed to contact Mr. Richard Power of WAVN before having City Attorney Couville draw up an agreement between the Board of Water Commissioners and Radio Station WAVN. Assistant Manager Foster stated that William Multer of Oak Park had asked permission to buy or rent a standpipe for the purpose of hauling and selling water to persons not having city water. Since the water to IIIbe sold by Mr. Multer would be for the most part to persons living outside the city limits and in view of Resolution No. 726 dated August 11, 1959, the Board unanimously agreed that such permission and installation not be granted. The Secretary read a letter dated January 20, 1961 from City Attorney Douville regarding the water service installations from main to property line in certain streets before contemplated street surfacing takes place. Mr. Douville states "It is my opinion that before proceeding independently in the matter of sewer and water connections, the City Council and the Water Board should consider the feasibility of including the lateral water and sewer connections in the street improvement contract and assessing the cost therof as in the case of other local improvements pursuant to Article XI, Section 214, of the City Charter." Assistant Manager Foster stated that the yearly Water Works School at the University of Minnesota Continuation Study Center will take place on March 8, 9 and 10, 1961. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Olsen, all voting "Aye ", Mr. Foster be authorized to attend Water Works School and that his expense be paid by the Board.

Banister could be present to more fully explain the problem, possible solutions and to gi',e Board members anopportunity to ask questions. The Board felt, it unwise to delay any action. longer than is necessary. 1 21 General Manager Foster stated that City Engineer Ehlinger had asked that the Street Department be allowed to mix blacktop on the area East of the Mulberry Street Tank and that he could see no harm in such a request. The Board agreed that we should cooperate with the other City Departments and allow said request. Mr. Foster further reported that the State Public Examiner had started auditing On 1.1rch 26, 1962 for the year 1960 and 1961. The need of approximately 620' of water main in Sycamore Street between Fourth and Second Streets was pointed out because of the large number of customers now served by one 6" main. Mr. Foster estimated the cost of the project slightly over $2,000.00 for excavating, pipe and backfilling. The labor would be furnished by our crew. Included in the above figure is pipe which we have on hand amounting to about $1,325.00.

President Peaslee presiding. President Peaslee stated that General Manager Foster had cLlled him earlier in the morn- ing stating that a failure in the Third Street Pumping Station equipment had developed which need4d immediate action. Mr. Foster had called Don Hering of Linner Electric Company to diagnose the trouble and Mr. Hering found it to be of a serious nature. Mr. Hering stated that because of the age of the starting equipment, if repair parts were available, it • would, be unwise for many reasons to repair said starter. Mr. Hering recommended that a new starter be installed and by calling St Paul found that such a starter could be made available by Automatic Control Company within 24 hours. Mr. Foster stated that without our Third Street Pump available we would be unable to keep up with the demand for water and recommended that the Board authorize Mr. Hering to install said starter at once as an emergency measure. Mr. Hering stated that the approximate cost of the starter would. be $2,000.00 exclusive of labor and material which would run around $400.00. On motion of Commissioner Bloom, duly seconded by Commissioner Olsen, all voting "Aye" Linner Electric Company of Stillwater by authorized to install necessary new starting equipment at once. Mr. Hering agreed. to begin work immediately dismantling the old equip- ment and installing the new. There being no further business, on motion meeting adjourned.

(3) parking lot could easily be policed for hour and half cn Sunday morning, but would it be policed at other church funct4ons? (4) would neighborhood cars be allowed to park in the lct from Sunday P.M. to the following Sunday A.M.?, (5) who would have jurisdiction of lot? After much discussion and serious consideration, the Board unanimously declined permission to allow parking on property owned by the Board of Water Commissioners in accordance with Charter, etc. The secretary was instructed to write a letter to the church informing ther of its decision.

All Comreiseionere present. President Bloom Presid.ing. The mlrutes of the regular meeting held on December 9, 1965 were read and approved. Aleo present was Wilbur Liebenow frcm Banister Engineering Company. Mr. Liebenow was presert for the purpose of acquainting the Board with a Report on Municipal State Aid Street Study for the City of Stillwater prepared by Banister Engineer- ing Ccmparv, Specifically Mr. Liebenow wanted to know what, if any, changes or improve- ments sho ld be made in the water distribution system in streets named for contemplated imorovement in a long range program. Since many of the street improvements will be deferred for several years the Board felt it wise to consider each project individually at a time more immediate to the actual construction than to try to foresee certain needs five or more years hence. Mr. Liebenow agreed with this reasoning and since there was no immediate decision to be made he left the meeting. The matter of accounts receivable was discussed. Mr. Foster reported the balance as of the end of 1965 and stated that it was the lowest balance at the end of a year since 1958. The matter of salary and wage increases ws discussed at some length.

Berg-Caswell $8390.00 $7730.00 $6790.00 $6770.00 Representatives from the two low bidders were given a chance to speak briefly about their product and to answer questions asked them.

All Commissioners present. President Bloom presiding. The minutes of the regular meeting held on September 12, 196$ were read and approved. Manager Foster reported that Johnson House Movers had inspected the North Second Street Pumphouse regarding the feasibility of moving the building to South Fourth Street. For various reasons this building would be fairly difficult to move, according to Bill Johnson, and the cost would be around $5,000.00. After some discussion Board members were of the opinion that it would be better to construct a new pumphouse, perhaps identical to the Olive Street Pumphouse, rather than to move the brick building from North Second Street. No other action was taken. Mr. Foster read a letter dated October 10, 196$ from Warren Lindeke, Vice - president of Layne Minnesota Company, offering a proposal and estimate to increase the pumping capacity of the Olive Street well with slight modification. Specifically, based on previous test pumping information it is felt that an additional 300 GPM can be obtained still using the same pump motor, starting equipment and controls. Board members felt this proposal had considerable merit. On motion the matter was tabled until the next Board meeting. Mr. Foster also read a letter dated September 26, 196$ from Mr. A. R. Hart of Bergerson - Caswell Inc offering a proposal to attempt to recover part or all of our Wilkin Street Well. In view of the large amount of money which has already been spent at the above location it is question- able if more or how much more should be spent with results unknown. No action was taken.

The minutes of the regular meeting held on January 14, 1971 were read and approved. Manager Foster stated thptCumnins Diesel Company had been engaged to perform minor maintenance on the diesel motel- in the Third Street Pumphouse. Upon removal of the pan, large particles of metal were discovered in the oil and in the pan. Upon further exploration it 1;z's found that the bearings, camshaft and crankshaft were all in very bad condition. It is quite necessary, according to Mr. Foster, that we have a standby power unit than can be depended upon. The present unit was purchased in 1945. Lee t's Wilcoxen then explained to the Board the advisability and estimated cost of repairing the old motor. Repairs, according to WilcoAten would run in the neighborhood of $2500 versus a firm price of $3950 for a new unit installed with trade-in and also cancelling the charges for work already performed on the old motor. On motion of commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner Simonet, all voting "Aye", the Board deem it an emergency and purchase a new diesel installed at a price of $3950.00, unit to be installed at the earliest possible date. Jerry Mahoney, comptroller for Hooley Super Markets, with consent of the Board spoke regarding the possibility of doing the water billing on a computer presently owned (or leased) by Hooleys. Mr. Mahoney soke briefly about the operation and asked permission from theBoard to make a study of its needs and report back at a later date. The Board unanimously granted said permission with the understanding that it in no way obligated the Board and that the study would be made at no cost to the Board. The Secretary submitted the annual statement to the Board covering the year 1970.

The minutes of the regular meeting held on July 13, 1972 were read and approved. Duane Elliott and Bill Vose explained the progress to date of the drilling of the West Side Well #7 and also an analysis of the Jordan water produced by the well. The quantity of water was excellent, but the quality of the water had two very serious characteristics, namely 1.4 P.P.M. Iron and o.18 P.P.M. Manganese, both far greater than the acceptable limit. Both men outlined possible future courses to take and answered numerous questions regarding same. Possible solutions suggested, not necessarily in any order, were: 1. Submit Additional samples for testing. 2. Drill present hole deeper into the Hinckley formation taking and testing samples at various depths. Drill a test well at another location. 4. Add polyphosphate and chlorine to this water (purpose to hold iron in suspension.). 5. Construct iron removal plant at a cost of about $110,000.00. Duane Elliott was authorized and instructed to further pursue the problem and report back to the Board. Mr. Foster stated that he had received the formal report of audit for 1971 by DeLaHunt & Co., Ltd. with minor journal entkies to be made by the Secretary. No action was required. Mr. Foster also stated that in his opinion the heating plant at the office was very inefficient and recommended that it be improved.

All Commissioners present. President Olsen presiding. Also present were Ray Marshall, Duane Elliott and Dennis McKean. The minutes of the regular meeting held on August 10, 1972 were read and approved. Duane Elliott furnished Board members with two proposals from Keys Well Drilling Company, one dated August 28, 1972 for a 4" test well at a new location at an estimated cost of $3,500.00 and another dated September 5, 1972 to drill a test well at our present site from the bottom of the Jordan into the Hinckley at an estimated cost of $5,707.00. This latter proposal also contained an estimated additional cost of $14,840.00 to convert the test Hinckley well into a permanent Hinckley well.

Board members unanimously agreed to the need and authorized Schwantes, Incorporated to proceed as outlined in it's letter. Because of the many taps to be made by Water Department personnel in the future (91 during October and around 500 in Croixwood during the next few years) Mr. Foster reported that he had ordered an electric power operator at a cost of $578.14 to be used with our present tapping machine.

All Commissioners present. President Olsen presiding. 206 This meeting, according to President Olsen, was prompted by a request for water service by Harold A. Dornfeld at his residence located at 6499 Oasis Avenue North (a short distance South of Orleans Street on what was formerly called Greeley Street Road). At a special meeting held in August 1959 the Board passed Resolution No. 726 prohibiting any further extensions of the water distribution system unless the area is wholly within the corporate limits of the City. President Olsen felt that the Board should take another look at this resolution at this time. After considerable discussion it was moved by Commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner Lay, all voting "Aye", that the Board, as of this date, rescind Resolution No. 726. The Secretary was instructed to advise Stillwater Township of its action as well as persons who have shown any interest in the past to obtain city water.

All Commissioners present. President Olsen presiding. Also present were Dennis McKean and Duane Elliott. The minutes of the regular meeting held on Ocrober 12, 1972 were read and approved. Manager Foster stated that the Minnesota Department of Health has adopted certain rules and regulations for the certification of Water Supply System Operators. One of the rules is that all classes of operators attend water training schools or other educational activities for a certain number of hours during each 3 year period. There are four persons in our department holding certificates at present. Regional and state-wide meetings are held at prearranged times. On motion of Commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner Lay, all voting "Aye", the Board authorize certain personnel, to be designated by the manager, to attend the necessary sessions to hold or upgrade his present certificate and that any expense incurred be paid by the Board of Water Commissioners. A transmittal letter dated November 2, 1972 from City Attorney Kimmel along with an agreement regarding water and sewer for Cochrane's Long Lake Sulidivision from Gordon C. Moosbrugger, attorney for Stillwater Township, was read and approved by the Board. Mr. Foster reported that since the entire removal of the old steam plant it is necessary to protect the pipes, valves and appurtenances in the diesel room from freezing and that he had asked for and received a proposal for a gas fired furnace from Schwantes, Incorporated. The installed price, less wiring, is an estimated $916.00. Board members unanimously agreed that such a furnace be installed as soon as possible as per proposal. 208 Duane Elliott reviewed at some length the drilling process at the new well and also the chemical analysis of the water sampled. Mr. Elliott felt that more exploration is necessary with more sampling before any definite decision be made on the well. The driller, according to Elliott, is making every effort to improve the water quality. At the present time 180 taps have been made by the Water Department in the Croixwood area and it is believed that approximately 35 new homes are occupied.

The minutes of the regular meeting held on November 9, 1972 were read and approved. Manager Foster reported that he had attended a meeting on November 22, 1972 with Duane Elliott, Bill Banister, Len Newquist and George Keys to discuss our West side wellw--All present agreed that a perfect seal should be effected so that when the well is pumped we are assured of sampling only from the lower Dresbach and Hinckley formations. In past tests it is quite possible that water from the other formations was mixing with the true Hinckley water. It was felt that one final attempt be made to sample and test for iron and manganese before abandoning this hole. In a letter dated November 27, 1972 from George Keys a price of $2,158.00 was submitted for the above work which included six (6) hours of test pumping prior to sampling. A letter dated November 17, 1972 from Richard Gilker, 318 Stillwater Avenue, was read asking that the Board consider adjusting Gilker's water bill of $38.22 which was caused by a running toilet. Gilker explained that both he and his wife are deaf and were not aware of running water. Gilker's usual bill is the minimum. On motion of Commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner Lay, all voting "Aye", the Board cancel $33.02 (made up of overage and tax) which brings Gilkers October 1, 1972 water statement to $5.20.

All Commissioners present. President Olsen presiding. Also present were Dennis McKean, Ray Marshall, Duane Elliott and Geo. H. Keys, President of Keys Well Drilling Company, The minutes of the regular meeting held on January 11, 1973 were read and approved. Duane Elliott reported that the final results from the West Side Hinckley Well were approximately .15 ppm iron and .1 ppm manganese which are both within accept- able limits. However, because of higher pumping costs with yield unknown of the Hinckley well, Mr. Elliott recommended thqt a test well be drilled at another site approximately 2300' to the East. This test well, according to Elliott, would serve three purposes, namely: (1) verify the iron content in Jordan water from site #1 (2) possibly become a permanent Jordan well and (3) give us valuable information to be used at a later date. Manager Foster stressed the urgent need for another well as quickly as possible stating that the largest pumping day of 1972 was on May 22. On motion of Commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner Lay, all voting "Aye", the Board deem it an emergency, have Mr. Elliott obtain a quote from Keys Well Drilling Company for a test well in the Jordan, and if quantities and prices are found proper by Mr. Elliott to proceed as quickly as possible. The Secretary submitted the annual statement to the Board covering the year 1972. After brief discussion the report was unanimously approved by the Board and the Secretary was instructed to transmit a copy of said report to the City Clerk as provided for in Section 144 of the City Charter. Since the wage scale for union personnel has already been set through December 31, 1973, the matter of salary increases for other personnel was discussed.

Mr. Elliott further recommended that because of the marginal quality of water obtained from the Hinckley formation, the first West Side Well #7 be capped and left for future use. The above two recommendations were put in the form of a mation by Commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner Lay, all voting "AYE". The matter of an increase in water rates was biefly discussed.

Attest: Secretary. 1 1 219 Stillwater, Minnesota, July 12, 1973. Regular Meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Thursday, July 12, 1973 at 7:00 A.M. All Commissioners present. President Olsen presiding. Also present was Dennis McKean. The minutes of the regular meeting held on June 14, 1973 were read and approved. Richard N. Olsen having been reappointed as a member of the Board of Water Commissioners for a term of three (3) years from July 1, 1973, the present membership of the Board with the expiration of their terms now stands as follows: Jack D. Lay Roger A. Peterson Richard N. Olsen July 1, 1974 July 1, 1975 July 1, 1976 On Motion of Commissioner Lay, duly seconded by Commissioner Peterson, all voting t"-- "Aye", Richard N. Olsen be reelected President, Roger A. Peterson be reelected Vice— ;74 President, Harold L. Foster Secretary and General Manager, -Dennis A. McKean Assistant Manager and all other elective or appointive officers be continued as last year until further action by the Board of Water Commissioners. Manager Foster reported the receipt of financial statements for 1972 from DeLaHunt Voto& Co., Ltd. on June 14, 1973. Recommendations by the auditing firm were that the Board review the rise in operating costs and to evaluate the current billing r::tes to determine if increases are necessary. A report dated June 2U, 1973 from the Minnesota Department of Health listing defic- iencies in the system and outlining recommendations for improvement was read and discussed. Our rating by the State is 92 points out of a possible 97. Because of the 60 day price freeze imposed by the President on June 13 we were advised by the City Attorney, Kimmel, to postpone our proposed rate increase until the end of that period. It was the feeling of Board members that we should ride out the 60 day period, but that if the freeze should continue beyond that time we should seek an exemption from IRS as it is imperative that we increase our rates immediately. Other matters which were brought up, discussed and acted upon were: (1) Valley Sandblasting Company of Stillwater submitted, without request, a price of $940.00 to sandblast the office building and warehouse/garage with an estimated 200.00 additional for sealing. The matter was tabled. (2) a meeting with the Business Representative of Local 49 was discussed, but no date set. (3) removal of stack on office building and the repair or replacement of bricks on the North side was discussed. The manager was instructed to have quotes on the removal of the stack available at the ne:t regular meeting of the Board. (4) Bids on a deep well pump and appurtenances for Well #8 will be opened at the office of the Board at 3:00 P.M. CDT on July 24 and will be acted upon by the Board at a later date, the pump to be rated at 1000 gallons per minute. 220 Manager Foster recommended that a pumphouse similar to those on West Olive and South Fourth Streets be constructed at Well #8 in Croixwood area.

Water was run to waste at the rate of 915 GPM. Further tests of the water will be made before running it into the system. The Board of Water Commissioners acknowledged receipt of two special assessment notices for projects #104 and #115 in the amounts of $4,991.50 and $8,928.83 respec'ively.

It was the feeling of the Board that we pay these assessments over the entire length of the assessment which for project #104 is 10 years and for project #115 is 3 years. After an informal discussion between Water Board members and union representative Robert O'Brien with Ron Anderson, employee, regarding wages, it was felt that an agreement had been reached. Subject to approval by City Attorney Kimmel, the President and Secretary were authorized to sign the final draft of a memorandum of understanding which will be in effect through December 31, 1976.

A11,Commissioners present. President Olsen presiding. Also present were Duane Elliott, Wilbur Liebenow, and Dennis McKean. The minutes of the regular meeting held on October 10, 1974 were read and approved. Duane Elliott and Wilbur Liebenow, present at the meeting to acquaint Board Mem- bers how to best serve newer areas, spoke in generalities about elevation and location of another standpipe and/or well. Many possible solutions were discussed during a questions—answer period. Because of certain peculiarities, namely elevations about 95010, it was felt that our present 750,000 gallon standpipe would not be adequate. No decision was reached. On motion of Commissioner Paterson, duly seconded by Comm- issioner Lqv, all voting "Aye", the Board authorize the firm of Banister Short Elliott Hendrickson and Associates to continue its study relative to the installation of water mains, location, size, elevation, and style of a storage facility and to report back to the Board at the earliest possible time. A letter dated October 14, 1974, relative to the sprinkler system at Kroy Indus- try, from Stillwater Township was read. A copy of this letter had earlier been re- ferred to Duane Elliott. Also a request had been received for the furnishing of water to a printing shop to be located northwest of the intersection of Oasis Avenue North 242 and Highway #212. This also was referred to Duane Elliott for consideration. Manager Foster stated that the office work had increased considerably during the past few years and asked authorization to hire part time help particularly at billing time. Mr. Foster estimated th4t this person should work approximately 20 weeks or 800 hours per year and suggested a $2.50 hourly rate. On motion of Commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner Lay, all voting "Ayeo, Mr. Foster be authorized to hire additional help along the lines outlined above.

Commissioners Peterson and Lay pre ent, President Olsen absent. Vice—President Peterson presiding. Also present were Dennis McKean and Pastor Daniel Johns from Trinity Lutheran Church of Stillwater. The minutes of the regular meeting held on November 7, 1974, were read and approv- ed. 243 Pastor Johns, after a brief introduction, asked whether or not the Water Board had any plans in the future of ever vacating its facility presently located at 204 North Third Street and that if it did, the Lutheran Church would be interested in the building and property. At the present time, according to the best judgement of those present there are no plans to remove the present facility in the near future. I A letter dated December 3, 1974, to Ray Marshall from Milner W. Carley and Assoc, as read regarding the furnishing of sewer and water to a newly constructed building owned by Oscar Kern. This proposed print shop is located north of Highway #212 and west of Oasis Avenue. It was the decision of the Board to refer the matter to Duane W. Elliott, our engineer. Manager Foster asked whether or not it was the intention of the Board to compensate 4non-union employees for unused sick leave similar to those to be paid union employees. Mr. Foster stated that he was the only employee presently having more than 100 days sick '-'leave. On motion of Commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner Lay, non-union employees are entitled to the same benefits as those employees belonging to a union. Mr. Foster reported that Sue J. Sahmaunt has been hired as a part time office employee and has proved herself more than adequate for the job.

President Olsen absent. Vice — president Peterson presiding. Also present was Dennis McKean. The minutes of the regular meeting held on December 12, 1974 were read and approved. It was pointed out that due to the increased cost of brass goods and also labor, it was recommended by the manager that tapping charges, which were last set in 1960, be in- creased. After considerable discussion it was moved by Commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner Lay that the tapping charges stated in Resolution No. 733 dated February 11,,, 1960 be rescinded and that tapping charges, both for 3/4 " and 1" taps effective January 10 1975 be set at $40.00 each if taps are made on our system. Also, as part of the above motion tapping charges, both 3/4" and 1 ", made in this immediate area to a water system other than ours during regular working hours be increased to $60.00 each. (This supersedes previous charge in effect since meeting of July 9, 1970. Other subjects discussed, as a matter of record only, were: 1._ Purchase of a Federal Deposit Certificate for 1 year at 6.5% compounded quarterly at Washington Federal Savings and Loan Association of Stillwater. 2. Accounts receivable at the end of 1974 was $8,125.64 which compared favorably with previous years. 3. Burroughs billing maching purchased in 1958 at cost of $4725.00 has been giving us trouble so will chick on a new one. 4. Proposed meeting with Joe Becker and others from Stillwater Country Club re water rates 5._ Addition to vault completed by our labor with material about $2300.00.

Attest: ,v/ Secretary. Stillwater, Minnesota, February 19, 1975 Special Meeting: A special meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Wednesday, February 19, 1974, at 7:00 P.M. All Commissioners present. President Olsen presiding. Also present were Dennis McKean, Ray Marshall, Duane Elliott, Wilbur Liebenow and Mayor Junker. This meeting, according to President Olsen, was held for the purpose of considering future supply and storage of our water system. A Report on Water Storage Study dated January 6, 1975 by Banister Short Elliott Hendrickson and Associates was thoroughly explained by Elliott and Liebenow. Several options were discussed which brought varied questions from those pre- sent. Although no decisions were made, all of those present felt the meeting very informative and necessary in order to make future plans how to best serve the area south, south —west, and west of the city. Special consideration was given to those areas having elevations of 950 or above in determining whether or not a third pressure zone would be necessary. There being no further business, on motion meeting adjourned. Attest: Secretary. Stillwater, Minnesota, March 13, 1975 Regular Meeting: The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on Thursday, March 13, 1975, at 7:00 A.M. All Commissioners present. President Olsen presiding. Also present was Dennis McKean. 4 The minutes of the regular meeting held on February 13, 1975 and also those of the special meeting held on February 19, 1975 were read and approved. Manager Foster reported concerning an informal meeting held on March 10, 1975, with Wilbur Liebenow present as well as all regular department employees. Many questions were asked of Mr. Liebenow during the meeting which lasted 21 hours all relative to future supply and storage of our system. While the subject considered was the same as that previously discusse IIat a special meeting of the Board, specifics were thoroughly aired rather than generalities. s a result of this meeting Mr. Liebenow felt that there was perhaps no need, or at least no immediate need, to have a third pressure zone by utilizing an additional tank, well or wells, and underground storage (possibly in the Laurel Street reservoir). The nature of develop- ment in the outlying area will dictate which facilities will be constructed first. The matter of salary increases for Harold L. Foster and De nis A. McKean was brought up 1 and discussed. On motion of Commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner Lay, all voting "Aye " -, the salaries of both Foster and McKean be increased $75.00 per month retroactive to January 1, 1975 and that effective July 1, 1975 the salary for both Foster and McKean be increased an additional $25.00 per month. Mr. Foster recommended that the hourly wage paid meter readers be increased from the present $2.80 per hour. On motion of Commissioner Peterson, duly seconded by Commissioner III ay, all voting "Aye ", the hourly wage for experienced meter readers be increased to 3.25 per hour effective March 1, 1975, but that inexperienced meter readers be paid no more than $2.80 per hour.

All Commissioners present. Vice - president Peterson presiding. The minutes of the regular meeting held on July 17, 1975 were read and approved. 130 Manager Foster reported that both he and Dennis Mckean had reexamined the Burroughs 0 machine and found it completely satisfactory. The initial problem was the inability of the machine to accept government postcards easily, but by slight modification of the sac:ine it was easily corrected. Burroughs Corporation was awarded the bid and the mac .i_ne arrived August 12. Sue J. Sahmaunt, who started working as part time help in December 1974 primarily during billing periods, is moving out.of town permently. Mr. Foster asked that he be aut ori.zed to hire a replacement tc work under similar circumstances which, according to oster, seems to work out well. Said authorization was unanimously granted to Foster. As a matter of record the following information, none of which required action, was furnished to the Board: 1. The purchase of 250 Hayes Acu water meters from Goodin Company 0 $27.44 each; these meters to be delivered and paid for over a 12 month period. 2. The largest day's pumping occurred on July 29, 1975 at 3,506,000 gallons. Likewise the largest month's pumping was July 1975 when 70,704,000 gallons were pumped. 3. Inquiry was made by Art Palmer that the Lowell Inn would be interested in purchasing a small strip of land 26' x 150' from the Board of Water Commissioners. This property is presently being rented by Lowell Inn from the Water Department and used as a parking lot. Manager Foster was instructed to show by means of a plat, the location, size, need, etc of this property to be considered by the Board at a later date.

Attest: ,44//S, Secretary Stillwater, Minnesota, August 25, 1975 manager and called by Vice - president Peterson, held on Monday August 25, 1975 at 9:30 A.M. All Commissioners present. Vice - president Peterson presiding. Dennis McKean. Manager Foster described the damage and present condition of the water outfall located on Lots 19 and 20, across the street from the office. Several Hard rains, the last one August 22 -23, undermined much of the sidewalk which could result in losing part of the street. Water flowing thru the rock tunnel is comprised of the overflow from McKusi_ck spring, underground springs which find their way into this - stream and also storm waters from the City Hall area. It is likely that the present Mulberry Street ravine water entering the tunnel will be substantially increased when water from McKusick Lake will drain thru this storm, sewer. The rock tunnel, which is close to 100 years old, has deteriorated to the point where the opening is no longer visible. Foster felt immediate action was necessary and asked authority to act in an emergency situation. He felt Moelter Construction Company had the necessary equipment (clam) to remove the fallen rock from the stream after which a decision would. be r:ade, but it seemed likely that some culvert would be laid to replace the broken down tunnel. Mr. Foster felt that certain decisions would have to be made as the work progressed, but that he would be in close contact with the Board. On motion of Commissioner Lay, duly seconded by Cornmi ssioner Rogness, all voting "Aye ",The manager be authorized to proceed generally as outlined above and also, as part of the same motion, that the City of Stillwater be requested to Participate in the cost -of these necessary repairs since they are and will be more dependent upon storm system. -There being no further business, on motion meeting adjourned.

The minutes of the regular meeting held on August 14, 1975 and the special meeting held on August 25, 1975 were read and approved. Manager Foster reported that on Thursday afternoon August 28, after a representative of B.nister Short Elliott Hendrickson & Associates had inspected the tunnel adjacent to our office, he was told by City Coordinator Marshal] and Jack Shelton to stop work as N they were considering installing approximately 120' of culvert, to release Moelter Con ruction, but to accept the 42' of 48" culvert which we had ordered. To date nothing furt er has been done. The present condition of our two trucks was described by Foster and recommended that we should perhaps replace our present 1970 Dodge - Ton truck at this time. On motion of Commissioner Rogness, duly seconded by Commissioner Lay, all. voting "Aye ", the manager be authorized to receive quotes on 1975 or 1976 ruucks, depending upon availability, and that .theq otes be considered by the Board at a future date. Sandra Pauley has been hired to replace Sue Sahmau.nt in the office on a part time basi at a rate of $2.50 per hour. The new B urroughs electronic. accounting machine is now programmed and it is felt will do an excellent job. The matter of selling a strip of property north of Lowell Inn to the Lowell. Inn was sled, but it was felt that an access to Lots 19 and 20 should be retained. On motion mmissioner Lay, duly seconded by Commissioner Rogness, all voting "Aye ", The secretary discu of C was nstructed to write Art Palmer advising him of the Board's decision to retain the prop rty, honed to continue to rent the property under the same terms and have no objections if the renter, at his e :pense, would blacktop the area.

The Board of Water Commissioners will also release to Dave Johnson, a future well site, 100'x 100', located adjacent to McKusick Road. Because drilling to the Hinckley formation is our only option at this location, along with water of marginal quality, higher drilling and pumping costs, it was determined this site is-of no real valve to maintain. Also S.E.H. Inc., consulting engineers, will be notified of a change order, to install 16" watermain to serve tank site, cost of approximately $15,000.00 additional to the Board of Water Commisioners in lieu of a proposed 6" watermain. The matter of drilling for future well No. 10 was tabled. Manager McKean believes a test boring on the West side of Croixwood #7 tennis courts would be a desirable site. This does not have to be done in the near future, however. The Board agreed to meet with Local #49 union representatives Roger Carlson and Ron Anderson August 12, 1982 at 8:00 A.M. After much discussion, with Nile Kriesel explaining suggestions of some City Council members, favoring setting up a revolving fund to finance private water line repairs. Conversation included the Board's present policy of financing hardship situations, relaxing some to include financial statements only, extended payback from three (3) to five (5) years, on a case by case basis. Also suggested was to determine the number of private lines involved, approximately (100), have a public hearing and bond for improvements. Manager McKean was notified by Larsen Tank Company that at this time, because of humid weather conditions, Tower Drive Tank will not be repainted, but that it will be done later in the summer for sure. As a matter of record the following items were discussed with no action taken: 1. 1981 auditors reports were distributed. 2. 2nd quarter budget copies were distributed. 3. July 1st billing has shown that 78% of water pumped was metered and billed. This figure is exceptional and is attributed to the installation of more new water meters and fixing leaks. 4. Accounts receivable - June 30, 1982 - $12,819.63. This figure is $7,600.00 higher than just one year ago.
