Discussed a letter received from the Farmers Home Administration advising us that in 1990, Congress enacted legislation that will have an effect on FMHA borrowers and grantees such as us.
Under new Food Agriculture Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, this act set up the RDA Rural Development Adm. and all programs such as this one will be transferred to the RDA in the next several months.
Our Budget for the year 1992 was presented by Gary Jackson. This was discussed and was passed upon motion by C.T. Steele and seconded by Ron Repp. Copy attached.
Our insurance policy was discussed. Questions as to our liability were discussed, our lift stations and etc. C.T. Steele is to look into this.
Ron Repp will contact Mitchell & Stark again regarding flow meters. C.T. Steele had done this last month, but to date we still have not heard from them and they have not been reinstalled.
The Trustee reappointed Gary Jackson to another term, from Feb. 1, 1992 for 4 years.

Carole steel gave a financial report stating that the corporation had a balance in all accounts of $68,420.67.
We discussed delinquent accounts that Roger Lindsey, Attorney, should send letters to.
Ron Repp is to get in touch with Mitchell & Stark regarding the flow meters. He was to do this last month, but it did not get done.
Kenneth Graves, a prospective customer, was present. He is building a new house and wants his tap to come from across the road, which would mean cutting across at a large expense. The alternative would be to tap next door at his rental at a future date and perhaps having problems with easement. Roger Lindsey, attorney, said this would be no problem at this could be written into the deed at the time of closing.
Also we told Mr. Graves that he would have to pay the entire cost of cutting across the road.

Those Present: Carroll Steele, Ron Repp, Gary Jackson, Homer Dixon.
Our attorney, Roger Lindsey, could not be present as he was in the hospital.
We discussed the fact that our flow meter was back in operation again. It has been out more than in. It is thus far working properly.
Homer says that we have a flow of approximately 120,000 gallons per day into the lagoon according to the formula as originally set up. However, we feel as this could not be possible. We or Ron Repp are to contact Sam to see if the formula need to be changed or the calibration is off.
The computer is down and since it has been such a problem, and unless the state says it must be in, we decided not to repair it.

Bill Boles has been called regarding Gene Wells past due, since Wells is trying to sell his property. Ron thought CT should write a letter to Boles mainly so we would have one for our files that we had in fact informed him of the bill.
