“DRAFT MINUTES” WEST ALMANOR MUTUAL WATER CO. ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER’S MEETING July 5, 2009 DIRECTORS PRESENT: Cal Deurloo, Bob Sloan and Herb Weslar. DIRECTORS ABSENT: Pat Knudsen and Wayne Sperr CALLED TO ORDER: President Cal Deurloo called the meeting to order at 1:30 pm. OPENING REMARKS/INTRODUCTIONS: President Cal Deurloo introduced himself, VP Herb Weslar and Treasurer Bob Sloan. President Deurloo wanted to thank Association Manager Kim Taylor and Admin. Assistant Wendy Durkin for their help. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: It was MOVED by Bob Sloan, SECONDED by Herb Weslar and PASSED to accept the minutes of the July 5, 2008 Annual Meeting as prepared and mailed. FINANCIAL REPORT: Treasurer Bob Sloan reported that the total assets for the Water Company are $1,308,228. This consists of reserve accounts and operating accounts which total $473,860. Property and equipment assets total $834,368. Income for the year, consisting primarily of fees, was $169,590. Total expenses for the year were $122,050. This is down from the previous year. Wages, electricity-pumping costs, repairs, office services and insurance account for most of the expenses. Reserves remain invested in a variety of accounts including money markets, certificates of deposits and savings bonds. The water board anticipates revenues will increase slightly as additional homes in the development are built. Water department operational costs will continue to increase. In addition to higher electrical costs and wages, we expect repairs and maintenance to the system to be higher in the future. OPERATIONS REPORT: President Cal Deurloo reported that Pump 5 had repairs on it due to a surge from lightening which took out the computer on the electrical panel. It has been repaired and is running. On Pump 7, the connecting rod generator is being repaired and a stronger fuse was being ordered. Clint Tissot has been doing repair work at the maintenance shop replacing valve covers, installing new meters and setters. He did a great job reading the meters quickly in May and cleaned all the well sides. We had Taylor Electric out to repair the back up generator engine in Pump 3. We intend to start cleaning off pressure reg. covers and testing them for proper operation. We will rebuild them as needed. Bars were installed on the maintenance shop late winter. Extensive required water sampling tests were completed last week to stay current with the State. We are using Basic Lab out of Redding for our water testing. Plans are being implemented to install flags on all hydrants so that they may be safely located in the winter. We are currently looking into purchasing a camera that will monitor tank levels so they can be accessed from a computer for offsite monitoring. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS: There are 2 vacancies on the water board. Applications may be picked up at the WACC office, 177 LAW DR., and are due back into the office on August 6, 2009 by 2pm. MEMBER’S FORUM: Ed Wing asked if the meter reading went faster this time than the last reading. Yes it was. Last time it took 5-6 days and this time was done in 3-4 days. Ed Wing asked if the water quality has changed. No, we still have some of the best water around. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Wayne Sperr, Secretary As prepared by Wendy Durkin, Administrative Assistant FINANCIAL STATEMENT
