Jeff Weidner's Report: Reservoir is 1480AcFt and we stand at 10% allocation.
Gregg Helmsing read Ron Phillips report. The reservoir was projected to be about 1200 feet right now. We have more water than projected from inflows. We could have one more watering cycle perhaps two with what we have and still fill the contracts. Ron's recommendation is that we raise the allocation to 27%.
Gregg Helmsing motioned to resume delivery of water at an allocation of 27%. We will order beginning next Friday for a 2 or 4 day run ending on Thursday. People can also order on Tuesday for a two-day run. We will then repeat that cycle the following week. You will not be able to water in advance. Joe Young seconded the motion, and it was unanimously passed.
Gregg Explained that the website is at a point for some user input. It is not live but please email to get the link and look at the website. It will show if the reservoir is on or off spill, explain our complex water system to new users, also water ordering online.
Questions were opened for attorney John Howe the attorney. Questions were answered.
Gregg motioned the board see that Mr. Howe further research the context of the term "irrigation season" used in the contracts. Not to exceed $3000. Dick Kirkpatrick seconded the motion, and it was passed unanimously.
