Meeting Minutes

At the request of SSD#2, members of the county, CU, CLPOA, along with representatives from the EPA divisions of wastewater and drinking water, met January 11th at the Madison County Engineers office.  The purpose of the meeting was to discuss copper levels at the county Sanitary Sewer District #2 (SSD#2) plant that serves the Lake Choctaw community.

The SSD#2 plant operates on a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.  These permits are reviewed every 5 years, and the SSD#2 permit is up for review in 2019.

After an hour discussion, CU agreed to partner with the county to put together a testing protocol to explore where copper is entering the waste stream.  This protocol will be agreed to by the county and CU, and will be signed off by a Professional Engineer.

Although CU is operating a plant fully in compliance with all regulations, CU and the county have agreed to partner together to investigate the sources of copper in the waste stream.  The county and CU have agreed to share the cost of this investigation.  Expect more details as we work through 2018.

Although the SSD #2 was in compliance with the copper discharge limitations on the NPDES permit for all of 2017, CU, SSD#2 and the EPA are proactively addressing this issue to ensure future compliance.

Board of Directors Special Meeting

Wednesday, September 13, 2017

Call to Order:  7:02pm

Role Call in Attendance:  Dave Lohrer, Bob O’Connor, Doug Orange, Greg O’Brien, Andrew Beckman, Scott Kutzley Not in Attendance:  Kent Feliks

Minutes from July 17^th – Correction “intended funding list” to “intended project list”

Motion to accept minutes as submitted approved with change – passed 6-0

Minutes from August 2^nd – Motion to accept minutes as submitted – passed 6-0

Vice President Position:  Dave Lohrer indicated that the Vice President position is in the corporate charter, and since Dave will be gone for the next 6-weeks, suggested that the Utilities should have someone in the position to continue continuity on the Board.  Greg expressed interest in the position, and Greg was nominated as Vice President, and seconded.  Motion carried 6-0.

Greg distributed a rough sketch of duties from a regional water authority to use as a sample of each position within the Board.  The Board can review and modify job duties of each Board of Trustee position going forward.  Dave commented that it’s been long overdue.  Greg indicated that the State requires this outline and documentation for Water Board Trustee duties.  The CAP loan also requires these job descriptions be outlined and submitted.  Tabled until October quarterly meeting.

Marti Schmidt, Office Manager, will submit to the Board for review and modifications.  She will also submit to Pam Ewing with Rural Community Assistance Program (RCAP).

Discuss EPA request for testing on Well Pumps #1 & #2  EPA took the data from Well #3 and accepted it; now we need to replicate the test performed for Wells 1&2 to insure their ability to produce enough water to support the new plant capacity increase that is planned.

Estimates from Baker/Moody – well #1 is already targeted for maintenance in 2018, at an approximate cost of $7,500; the approximate cost testing of wells 1&2 is $15,000.  The EPA has been asking for the last 18 months for this testing.  When building the plant, the General Plan cannot be submitted without the well testing.  Dave spoke with Kent and was in agreement to get the testing completed.  Dan with MS Consultants also need the well tests to complete their portion of the General Plan.  There is an outstanding Notice of Violation for not having these well pump tests completed.  Scott said he also wanted to check with Dan at MS Consulting to verify that we need draw down testing on these wells for the General Plan.  This needs to be added to the contract with Baker/Moody – in a not to exceed purchase order.  There are two extra pieces of equipment that are needed to do the draw down testing, so it needs to be verified with Baker/Moody and become part of the proposal while they are testing the wells.  Request that it is done in accordance with OAC 3745, but there is more requirements in that code that are not relevant.  Motion to approve the expenditure for Baker/Moody to run the testing on Wells 1&2 at a cost NTE $17,500 – the extra $2,500 will allow for well field draw down monitoring if that ends up being required.  In addition, approve the expenditure for Baker/Moody to perform the normal scheduled maintenance, which is already in the budget, on well #1 at a cost NTE $7,500 – motion carried 6-0.

Old Business:

Doug discussed authorizing Marti to pay regularly scheduled bills without additional approval needed by the Board.  All overhead bills including Ohio Edison for plant electric; CLPOA fees for HOA, cell phone and quarterly postage meter.  Marti submitted a spreadsheet outlining all routine bills.  Discussion continued about the high electric bill for the plant.  Motion was made to allow Marti a $500 cap to process routine bills, and up to $1,500 on Ohio Edison account 110014545252.  Motion carried 6-0.

Quickbooks Update:  Marti was locked out of QB two days in a row; still in first 90-days and tech support.  Brought up ideas for securing data in the cloud, using a laptop.

Paul Rennick – Dave needs to sign letter of engagement for accounting services.  Paul also has an expert in his office for QB and tax support.  Marti will engage Paul and find out other solutions.

Marti is auditing all the files, budgeting numbers via a spreadsheet for the upcoming price increase to pay for the new plant.  Getting good response from property owners to our new move and numbers.  In the process of documentation of all processes, organizing the position and files.

Property Owner questioned the recurring payment and if it will change when the new prices occur.  Marti indicated that we will have to have those redone and signed when the price increase happens.  The BoT is in the process of getting the “Pay My Bill” feature on the website.

Doug explained that at the quarterly October meeting on the 30^th, new price rates and likely increase will be discussed.  We anticipate these rate changes becoming effective on January 1, 2018. The EPA requires that prior to loan approval in the CAP program, the company has to show how they intend to pay back the loan with rate structures and processes.  Doug researched the EPA site for surrounding water suppliers to compare current rates for their communities.  The EPA wrote a letter in regards to our rates, dated June 30^th, 2016, in regard to our current rates:

 

Water rates are extremely low. Based on a median household income of $109,879 (2014 U.S. Census data), annual water rates should be in the range of $1428 to $3406 per year. Current rates are $360 per year for unlimited water, close to an order of magnitude too low on the high end. The agency strongly encourages Choctaw Utilities to charge a more reasonable price for water…We recommend the rates be between 1.3% and 3.1 % of median household income in order to maintain the system in proper working order.

Doug indicated it is the Board’s intention to go somewhere from $360/year to $460/year – somewhere along those lines; about $100 increase per year.  It should cover the new plant costs and should satisfy the EPA.  This is why the PUCO exemption is so important to us.  If we lose that, then the Agency can come in and dictate the water pricing via their formula, based off median income.  This will all be discussed the upcoming October 30^th meeting and give Marti enough time to get the price changes in place before the next billing.  Also, we will implement the “Pay My Bill” on the website prior to the next billing, giving them more options to pay their bill.

Scott shared from Tonka (equipment supply contractor) that we are looking at a skid mounted filter system.  All filters, piping, valves, wiring, and PLC come prefabricated from the factory.  This will reduce installation costs as this skid mounted system is “plug and play.”   We obtained better pricing than originally quoted – current price is $457,000, delivered.  This is a not to exceed price and CU will continue to revise the numbers.   This price is for the 4-filter option – we want 4 because it’s more efficient and will be easier to replace in the future.  The price difference between the 3 and 4 filter system was $33,000.  This is very much in line with the prior cost estimates.  The unit should only need final connection in and out, and tie in the electrical and chemical feed.  IBI estimate was at $2.7 million – currently CU is at $1.5 million, but this is still being refined.  We are continuing to look for any efficiencies that may be realized.  Preliminary estimates are as follows:  Building (20’x40’) ~$100,000, engineering ~$100,000, $35,000 in permits.  All rate increase assumptions are based on $1.75 million total plant cost, so anything less than this amount is a win for the community.

The process is anticipated to be as follows: Tonka designs and then sends to MS to coordinate and create final detailed design.  By using Tonka, it saves us engineering costs (pre-engineered) The pre-engineered drawings get sent to MS via AutoCAD and loaded into MS’s system to create the final drawings.  All of Tonka’s engineering is free as part of their design, which saves MS designer time and engineering, and therefore cost to CU.  The new plant is desired to produce 550,000 gallons per day.  Our current plant is currently capped at 400,000 gallons per day.  We have exceeded 400k gpd on multiple occasions, which is a reason for the capacity increase.

There are two issues that need to be accomplished/documented:  1) that our aquifer can handle the volume needed and 2) that the plant can filter the increased water supply.

Discussion continued about the 3 vs. 4 filters.  Smaller filters, as the 4 filter system has, will allow for easier replacement in the future due to their smaller diameter.  It was also noted a more rigorous backflush can be had in a smaller diameter filter than in a larger diameter filter.

Before October 30^th, there needs to be a detailed meeting with Tonka and MS Consultants.  Once MS receives the detailed drawings from Tonka, MS will give us a firm price for the remaining engineering.  Tonka will not require money until they start building the skid.  Tonka has a 6-month production time and will need money up front for materials.  CU will cover all the design costs outside the WSRLA program.

Motion:  Proceed with 4-filters as the basis of design for the New Plant.  Motion carries 6-0

Motion:  Contact Tonka and MS Consultants with our decision to use a 4-filter system and request that Tonka go into detailed engineering and that MS Consultants start engineering estimate.  Motion carries 6-0.

Scott would like to contact EPA, sit down and review all the outstanding items for the General Plan to know what items are still needed.  Scott will contact them, and include Dan Barr with the discussions.  The EPA and Tonka are not used to working with Owners like us, so they prefer to use an engineering firm as the go-to.

When the well pump tests start, the maintenance will include a camera going down to review the area and document.  The casing will also be reviewed at that time.

Canal Winchester has the almost exact system that we are getting ready to build.

Banking:  Doug changed our type of account to reduce fees, saving about $1,000 a year.  Marti is getting some accounts linked with the bank, causing delays in paying vendors and handling our accounts.

New Business:  Andrew will not be at the October 30^th meeting.

Greg has some job descriptions as guidelines for plant manager, operator (right from the EPA) he found on the internet.  He also found places that we can use when/if we need to find a Class One Operator.  He handed out copies for the Board to review and put on the agenda for October.  In addition, the Board also needs job descriptions formulated and approved.

Doug will contact the HNB and get Marti on the accounts as an authorized person, and Greg will need to go over and get the signature card updated.

Dave leaves in one week from today, and returns October 28^th and will have internet access from Guam (14hrs ahead).

Property Owner discussed credit card fees and how the CLPOA was charging fees to property owners.  Utility company is not currently transferring the fee.

Meeting adjourned 8:10pm

The Choctaw Utilities Board of Directors met on Wednesday, August 2, 2017 at the Choctaw Water Plant office at 7:00 PM for a special meeting to transact the business of Choctaw Utilities.

CALL TO ORDER

President Dave Lohrer called the meeting to order at 7:05.  He began by calling the role.  Dave Lohrer, Doug Orange, Greg O’Brien, Bob OConnor, Scott Kutzley, Kent Feliks were all present.  Andrew Beckman was absent.

PLANT STYLE SELECTION

Discussed Power Point slides regarding the type of plant style to be selected for our plant upgrade.  Our plant was built in 1964 and upgraded in 1978.  Numerous professionals have reviewed our plant and all recommended that our plant has exceeded its useful life and a new plant should be built.  The board has spent the last 8-10 months visiting numerous other plants and different types of operations in Ohio and neighboring states to determine what type of new plant would be the best fit for our community.

After this exhaustive review, it was determined that the two best options were the Duolater 3 gravity filter system or a vertical pressure filter system, similar to our existing system.  The board needs to decide which of these two systems to pursue, so as to proceed with our general plan to the EPA for financing as well as moving on to the engineering/design stage.  The board has also reviewed a proposal from Madison County to provide bulk water to the lake.  After meeting with county officials and discussing this option, it was decided that our community would be better served by constructing a new plant and retaining control of our own water system.

Tonka equipment has been determined to be the preferred equipment source for our new plant.  They have been very helpful to the board during this long process.  Other potential suppliers have been less cooperative and appear to have changed owners several times recently.  They can provide us with either type of system.  Either of these systems will provide us with same quality water and very little difference to our customers.  The cost of a vertical pressure filter system will be slightly less than the Duolater 3 option and appears to be the choice of most other water plants that are of similar size to us.  The vertical pressure system is also the preferred choice of Jim Moran, our current operator.   The board is looking at updating our plant from 400K maximum gallons per day to 550K.  This is being done at the request of the Ohio EPA.

Doug Orange motioned to move forward with the vertical pressure filter system for our new   water plant.  Dave Lohrer seconded the motion.  All six members present voted to approve.  Motion is passed by vote of 6-0.

RATE STRUCTURE PROPOSAL

From a cost standpoint, the board has identified potential savings of $900K from the IBI engineering report estimate. With the new plant expected to be in the $1.750M range, we are currently planning to put $250K down and financing approximately $1.5M for 20 years.  The expected additional cost per household should be in the $8.75-$9.00 range per month.  That would change our rates from the current standard of $30 per month to approximately $39 per month for our standard single lot customer.  The EPA requires us to have rates that allow us to pay the debt service on the loan.  It was also mentioned that if Choctaw Utilities revisits the move to a non-profit in the future, the $46K in tax savings from that change could be returned to our customers as a monthly rate reduction or additional improvements, such as individual meters or softening.

There is no motion at this time for this increase.  It is the boards hope that they will be able to finalize expected cost of the new plant and roll out a rate increase program at the October 30 regular meeting.

GENERAL PLAN APPROVAL

The board has submitted the first draft of our General Plan to the EPA.  They have responded back with 12 questions for us to answer.  Two of these requests required a professional engineer to prepare and stamp.  We have been working with MS Consultants for the past year to help us through this process.  Much of this work has been done pro-bono.  MS has agreed to provide answers to these EPA questions, provide the necessary schematics, and attend our meeting with the EPA on August 14 with us for a cost of $5K.  They will update our General Plan and resubmit as appropriate.

Doug Orange made a motion for retained MS Consultants to provide services related to our General Plan for the amount of $5K.  Greg O’Brien seconded.  All six members present voted to approve.  Motion is passed by a vote of 6-0.

PAYROLL DISCUSSION

With the hiring of our office manager, we need to hire a payroll firm to handle our processing/taxes for employees.  Doug Orange presented a proposal from Huntington Bank to provide this service at a cost of $55 per month and includes all processing, submissions, and taxes.  He also presented a proposal from ADP for a cost of $50-75 plus additional fees for tax processing.  Discussion supported the use of Huntington Bank.

Bob OConnor motioned to approve the agreement with Huntington Bank to provide employee processing services.   The motioned was seconded by Scott Kutzley.  All six members present voted to approve.  Motion is passed 6-0.

AUDIENCE TIME

Kendal Petry discussed the option of paying CU fees at the CLPOA office.  It was announced that we will have a locked, payment box at the CU offices.  There was also discussion about the new Choctaw Utilities web site that would be going live in the next 7-10 days and that there would be new payment options announced in the near future.  The goal of the board is to make payment of water bills to be as convenient as possible.

It was asked why the expected cost of our new plant is so low compared to the cost of the new plant at Mt Sterling.  The plant at Mt. Sterling is far too large and includes many things that are not needed at our plant.  Their cost includes land acquisition, digging new wells, Duolater 3, multi-million dollar water softening system and several other items that we do not require.  Our goal is to provide high quality water to our residents at the low possible price.  That was not the goal at Mt Sterling.

Meeting adjourned at 8:12

The Choctaw Utilities Board of Directors met on Monday, July 17, 2017 at the Choctaw Lake Lodge at 7:00 PM for their regular quarterly meeting to transact the business of Choctaw Utilities.

CALL TO ORDER

President Dave Lohrer called the meeting to order at 7:05.  He began by calling the role.  Dave Lohrer, Doug Orange, Greg O’Brien, Bob OConnor, Scott Kutzley, Kent Feliks, and Andrew Beck were all present.

 

CHOCTAW UTILITIES STATEMENT / POWER POINT PRESENTATION / Q & A

President Lohrer opened the meeting by reading the following statement:

“We understand there has been much discussion regarding Choctaw Utilities activity in the last few weeks.  The current Board of Directors, who have each stepped up in the previous 12 months, have promised to lead with transparency and accountability.

The goal and purpose of this current CU Board is straightforward, and are as follows:

1.) In order to assure that the problems that manifested themselves last year are resolved, replace our 47 year old plant in the most economical way possible.

2.) Identify every efficiency and cost saving measure in order to provide our customers the best value.

3.) This CU Board is focused on the next 30 years, not the previous 30 years.

It’s been a process to meet these stated goals.  Here is a brief summary for those who haven’t been following closely along.

We are currently operating under a conditional EPA license due to the various issues regarding our water plant.   We are definitely on their radar and they are closely monitoring our actions to fix our issues.  They have given us strict deadlines to accomplish these necessary repairs.

IBI Group, the engineering firm who studied our plant last year, advised that our plant is well past its useful life expectancy.  Their study was completed around the beginning of this year.  We then sought out more opinions from a variety of other expert sources, such as the Ohio Rural Water Association, neighboring water plants such as Plain City, and even had another engineering firm, MS Consultants give their opinion.  We’ve shared the remarks from these sources, which occurred at open meetings, with our customers via every means possible.

We’ve also retained council who specializes in water utility systems.  We were advised of the issues with our current For Profit structure and presented options to put our utility on much surer footing, while providing tax savings, and improved liability protection.

We have received preliminary approval for funding through the EPA at a low interest, 20 year loan.

We’ve been exploring installing a system of flushing taps in our system to flush out our main distribution system.  We’ve received EPA approval to replace blow off assemblies with flushing hydrants.  We’re moving carefully closer to taking action in order to implement this much needed infrastructure improvement.

We understand that some people will never be satisfied no matter what action we take.  That’s just the reality of conducting public business.  CU has made itself available to answer any questions that have arisen.  This week, questions were presented to CU.

The slides that follow answer those questions line by line.”

President Lohrer and Doug Orange proceeded to give a Power Point presentation complete with 21 questions and answers to those questions that were presented by community residents.  They also answered additional questions from residents at the meeting.  These questions related to the potential sale of the rental house owned by Choctaw Utilities (CU), the proposed move of CU’s administrative operations to the water plant, and the ongoing discussion of moving CU from a for-profit corporation to a non-profit corporation.

MANAGERS REPORT- JIM MORAN

Tower 1, 2, and the clear well at the plant were recently cleaned.  Jim explained the actual process of this cleaning and said this was part of the regular maintenance program.  He also stated that he was preparing to do preventative maintenance on the generator at the plant which includes an oil change and comprehensive check of the entire unit.  It will be done in the next few weeks.

We have started the valve exercising program on our distribution system.  He explained the purpose and process of this program.  This is done every 3-4 years.  We have completed the east side and will be moving on to the west side this month.  Valves appear to be in good shape.  He reported that we have been doing monthly testing on our filters since the problem with brown water last summer.  These monthly tests have all been satisfactory.

Copper and lead report has been submitted to the EPA.  None of the tests exceeded EPA standards.  We have no lead at all in our system.  We have also sent in our bi-annual Corrosion Control report.

FINANCIAL REPORT- DOUG ORANGE

Treasurer Orange reported that we have total deposits in the bank in our various accounts of $845, 672.00.  This slightly higher than we had at the same time last year.  Jim Moran stated that we appropriate approximately $96K annually for plant maintenance.  Our aging report has improved dramatically over the past 60 days.  Our over 120 day’s delinquent report has been reduced from $25K at our last quarterly meeting to $8K.  This has been a focus and will continue to be worked regularly.

EPA FUNDING UPDATE 

President Lohrer informed everyone that the EPA has placed our new water plant on its Intended Project List (IPL) and eligible for funding.  There is significant documentation required and the board has already begun submittal to the EPA.  There are three sections to this review/approval process including technical, managerial, and financial.  All three of these sections are very detailed and the hope is that it will ultimately conclude with a 20 year, low interest subsidized loan at an interest rate of around 1.5-1.8% for our new plant.  The board has split into committees to address this important process.

ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATE

It was announced that the board has hired Marti Schmidt as office manager for Choctaw Utilities.  Marti is a resident of the lake with a significant business background including accounting.  She will be handling the daily administrative duties of CU and will be located at the water plant.  She will be the point person on billing for our customers.  We are thrilled to have Marti on board and believe that she will be a valuable asset to our community.

All CU files have been relocated to the water plant and the new office there should be fully operational by August 1, 2017.  The new email address for CU was announced.  It is choctawwater@gmail.com.  The new CU web site is in development and the hope is that it will be active in the next 30-45.  Kent Felixs volunteered to be part of the web site development committee with Marti Schmidt, Doug Orange, and our web developer, Christine Cooney.

Doug Orange made a motion to hire Ms. Cooney as our web developer at a cost not to exceed $500.  This motioned was seconded by Kent Feliks.  This motioned passed 7-0.

Minutes of the May 23 special meeting were reviewed and discussed.  Bob OConnor motioned to approve the minutes as submitted.  This motioned was seconded by Doug Orange.  This motioned passed 7-0.

Paul Rennick, CPA, has visited our plant and met with several members of the board.  He specializes in accounting for utility companies.  It is our goal to have an engagement letter from him to approve in the near future and retain Paul to handle our accounting / taxation issues.  He will also help us with the EPA funding process.

The board has been discussing the price that has been charged for the installation of taps on new construction at the lake.  Our price has been $1500 and the cost involved to install these taps often cost us $3-4K.  We have been losing money on each of these projects.  After reviewing tap fees at other nearby plants and our costs, it has become clear we need to raise our price for these taps.  After discussion, Jim Moran recommended that we raise our tap fees to $3500.  Doug Orange motioned to raise the tap fees to $3500.  The motion was seconded by Scott Kutzley.  The motion passed 7-0.  This new fee schedule will begin on September 1, 2017.

DESIGN ENGINEERING UPDATE

Scott Kutzley discussed the engineering of our new plant.  Scott has had discussion with three contractors as to how to proceed with our project.  MS Consultants in Columbus has given us two opinions as to how to proceed from an engineering standpoint.  We can either go with a 30% plan with drawings/ bid packages for around $20K.  The additional engineering would be done later in the process.  The downside to this option is it would require much more involvement and some critical decisions would not be included.  The second option is to do 100% plan with complete drawings / bid packages.  This full engineering would be more costly, perhaps in the $100-150K range.  This cost can be included in our loan package.

From a supplier standpoint, the board has concluded that Tonka equipment is the preferred choice for our new plant.  We have spoken with several suppliers and other water plants and it has been determined that Tonka is superior to the other options that are available.  Tonka has some unique options available to us that may reduce the cost of the overall project.

We are continuing to discuss which type of plant we prefer, either vertical pressure filters or Duolater 3, gravity filters.  We believe that we have the price down to the $1.5-1.8M range, which is about $800-900K less than the costs estimated in the IBI report.  The board will continue to review options and hope to make a decision on the type of plant and move forward to the engineering stage in the 60-90 days.

FLUSHING HYDRANT DISCUSSION

Kent Feliks gave an update on the flushing hydrant project with our distribution system.  He has spoken with Tim Ballard of the Ohio Rural Water Association and he is giving us contact information for potential contractors for this project.  Kent Feliks and Andrew Beckman will develop the technical details of this project and get it ready to bid.  The goal is to have the project completed sometime in late 2017.  Further details will come later this summer.

TIMELINES / CRITICAL PATH UPDATE

Andrew Beckman has been working on timelines for the actual dates for tasks/accomplishments on the new water plant project.  As the project progresses, he will give us monthly updates of tasks and timelines regarding progress on various parts of our project.

ELECTRICAL RATE OPTION UPDATE

This subject was tabled until the next meeting.

RENTAL HOUSE UPDATE

President Lohrer discussed the rental house that is owned by CU.  The house is in deplorable condition.  It is an embarrassment to our community.  He displayed photos depicting the terrible condition of the house.  Neighbors of this house have been complaining about its condition.

We have a PUCO exemption that is potentially in jeopardy as a result of us conducting business that is not related to the production of water.  The house does not provide any use to CU and it has been rented sporadically for several years.  CU does not wish to be a landlord and needs to divest themselves of this major eyesore and pocket the money to help with our new water plant.

Bob OConnor has been tasked with looking at our options with this property.  We could tear it down, but there would be a cost to us to accomplish this.  Price to demo could be between $8-20K.  We could institute repairs and sell the property.  Our initial estimate from a local contractor indicated that it would be a minimum of $18K and probably more to get the house to be habitable.  It is unknown what the value would be after repairs due to the smaller lot and water tower in such close proximity to the rear of the house.  Bob contacted a local realtor to do a marketing analysis as to what the house may be worth “as is” or the expected value after repairs.   The realtor stated that it would be very difficult to determine “comps” for this house due to the unique variables and no other house being sold that would be similar.

The board has a cash bid to purchase “as is”.   There was continued discussion as to what the board should do by both the board and members of the audience.  It was decided that the board wants to sell the property “as is”.  The board will put a sign up in the yard, obtain a survey to separate the house from the water tower, obtain an appraisal, and entertain offers on the property for a period of time and then sell the property “as is” to the best cash offer that the board receives.

AUDIENCE DISCUSSION / QUESTIONS

There were no other questions from the audience following the rental house discussion.

Meeting was adjourned at 9:29 pm.
