Old Business:
The board of directors requested community input regarding the continuation of 
appeals to reverse the 10 mil tax levy cap.  TWSD attorneys estimate the cost of 
appellate court to be between $12,000 and $15,000.  The appeal of the tax levy 
is the only court action still being pursued by TWSD.  The lawsuit filed against 
TWSD by Virgil and Dewayne Beagles, Lyndol Wilcox and Arlin Gambel is also still 
pending.  Pursuing legislative changes, assessing a tax levy on every dollar of 
assessed value instead of the 1/3 value the county uses, and mediation were 
discussed.

The general manager agreement needs to be changed from 20 to 19 hours per week 
so he is not subject to PERA.

New Business:
The housekeeper position was discussed.  The job was posted on the union board 
with no response so it will be posted until filled on the public bulletin 
boards.  This item will not be on Saturday’s agenda.

Bank signature cards will be made for the Chairman and Treasurer. This item will 
also be left off of the Saturday agenda.

Debbie Goss explained that TWSD has $50,000 in grant money and the agreements 
need to be signed by the board of directors.  The project description will 
designate use of the money to replace water lines on Sacramento Drive where the 
County will repave next summer.

Tom Tannehill offered to look at changes to the bylaws.  This item will be moved 
to Committees on the Saturday agenda. 

The Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan will be reviewed and discussed on 
Saturday.

Scott Millar requested that “Unscheduled Citizen Communications” be placed on 
the regular agendas after Director Remarks.  This will be a chance for the 
audience to bring up their concerns as a non action item.  Agenda Requests will 
still be honored as action items.

B.F. Adams expressed concern about individual board members speaking on behalf 
of the district without knowledge or concurrence of the whole board.  The bylaws 
address this issue.

Ron Wyatt announced that the Stables Road and the airstrip to the TDC building 
offered alternative routes in the event of flooding near the fire station.

The meeting was adjourned.
