Communications:
Ren informed the Authority that he got the contracts from SEDAGOG for the CBDG grant. Ren also informed the Authority that he was notified that the insurance policy is due, therefore he is going to take the check and hand deliver it to Snyder Eyster so that it is received immediately. Ren also gave Andy a bunch of paperwork on workshops that are available for him to take so that he kept up to date.
Water System Operator:
Andy informed the Authority that he did not receive the test results back from the testing that was done the prior month.
Waste Water Operator: Andy informed the Authority that there is a leaky valve into the post EQ tank which is creating dirty water. Andy is going to get the cost of the valve replacement from Aqua Aerobics. The engineers have no specific recommendations for the pump failures that are happening at Pump Station 2. After the engineers reviewed the finding from ThermaView they reported that “the report indicates no abnormal problems with the pumps, thus the issue appears to be within the controls”
Solicitors Report:
Tony questioned the outcome on the Larry Herb issue with the bounced check, and Dean informed him that it had been resolved; they paid their account in full. Tony also informed the Authority that there is going to be a sale on the Jamie and Kevin Hoffman property so he will need an updated amount of sewer costs still owed. Dean will get the outstanding balance to him.
