OLD BUSINESS
Land Exchange/Community Property Project: There was no report.
CLWSD Report: Rob Scott reported that all finances seem to be in order with a positive cash flow. The plant operated to MPCA standards for the past year, except in January when there were excess solids. The plant is again reporting within normal range; however, the reason for the January spike has not been determined. The insurance claim for the power surge last summer is complete. There is a lag time in receiving funding for the ESA CSAH 24 Expansion. The new sewer pipes over the new culvert have more exposure than the old ones, which causes concern of freezing. The District is working with St. Louis County to remedy the situation with funds from the County. The solution may be to go under the culvert. The mediation with RLK has been delayed by the appointed judge’s winter vacation. The District has contracted with S.E.H. to apply the JPB Comprehensive Plan to the Eastern Service Area (ESA).
NEW BUSINESS
Appointment to Citizens Advisory Group to the International Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake Watershed Task Force: A motion was made by Jim, supported by Butch, to appoint Rob Scott to the Task Force as the Town representative. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
