Manager's Report October 21, 2006 1. Received refund from the Federal Highway Administration in the amount of $ 5059.34. This was for work that was done in 2005. 2. The covering of water lines continues if the rain will leave us alone. Hope to be finished with this in about 3 weeks. 3. The sealed bid for repair and reconstruction of culvert and road damage caused by the flooding was published in the newspaper October 13, 2006. The bid deadline will be November 6, 2006. This project covers only the roads damaged by the flood. Once the bids have come in, they will be forwarded to FEMA for approval and then sent back to TWSD for approval by the Board of Directors. Hopefully the permanent repairs to the flood damaged roads will begin within 90 days. 4. The electrical work on the new well has been completed this week. Will have another flow test scheduled as soon as the well man can get out here. 5. Budget meeting was held on October 11-12. 6. Meeting was held on October 13, 2006 with Souder/Miller engineering firm to discuss the status of the Moss Ranch water project. There are still items that need to be pursed further before work proceeds. 7. Attended legislature council meeting October 18th in Alamogordo concerning capital outlay projects for next year. Glenda Gentry, Sid Benson and Tom Tannehill were also present. Arden Schug was there representing the fire department. 8. Golf agreement is coming up for renewal in January. I am working on putting numbers together to submit to the board before the end of the year. More on this as it happens. 9. I want to thank all of the volunteers who have helped out on the road work and also the girls who have helped out in the office. 10. I want to thank Suzie Sims and Larry Woods for helping clean out the meter boxes. I forget to mention it last month.
