by Lloyd Wiens

- Coordination of an outreach and publicity program for the USDA grant/loan program and rate review will occur.  A community meeting will be announced for later this month; tentatively scheduled for 8/27 at 7 pm.

The board clarified that this package is a $2.1 million loan and a $1 million grant.  The loan funds must be approved by the voters and spent first before the grant will be awarded.  This is part of the ongoing reconstruction of FPPUD's infrastructure; tanks and downtown pipes were replaced in the previous phase.  There will be five phases to complete all necessary infrastructure updates; this new loan/grant is for Phase 2;

- $48,000 in revenues, $53,000  in expenses in the month of July;  insurance payment of $11,000 caused the deficit;

- Manager reported on system issues and on status of fixing Sam Young Canyon road and spring issues;

- Dealing with a structure-encroachment issue in Sand Canyon was discussed;

- Ongoing research and analysis will occur on offering additional public services.  Several objections were raised to doing so because of liability issues, board responsibilities & time constraints; recommendations were made regarding sticking to current district objectives and activities.  Will visit with Stallion Springs area CSD representative.  Board members noted the lack of attendance by the public in support of this proposal on several ocassions;

- Discussion of a proposal to develop additional revenues and district resources was postponed until the October meeting.
