Because several members were still en-route from the meeting at the construction site, limited discussion took
ace regarding the status of the Deed for Conveyance with the understanding that further discussion would
mtinue after when other Committee members arrive. Ron Anderson advised the Committee that Fraser
discussed the matter of the deed at their regular District Board meeting earlier in the month, and that direction
was given to attorney Jim Bailey to draft the quit claim document. A copy of the document drafted was just
returned and distributed in the Committee packets and also forwarded to Winter Park West and Grand County
No. 1 attorneys for review. Mike LaPorte told members that Randy Atwater was dealing with the title insurance
company and Randy updated Committee members present about some concerns expressed by the title company
regarding the need for a survey and a question about the Hammond Ditch. Randy also stated that there did not
appear to be any problems with presenting the title company with a quit claim deed. John Walker asked ifhe,
as JFOC's counsel should also be looking over the documents, Committee members concurred.
On another matter, John Walker updated the Committee on the Well Permit application process and
augmentation plan. He advised that the augmentation plan was filed with the State, there should be some
response by the end of August and that more information would be available to bring to the JFOC by the
September meeting.
With the additional members of the Committee arriving, the next item on the Agenda was for the review and
approval of Partial Pay Application No. 14. Rob Anderson, MWE, recommended approval of Pay Application
No. 14 in the amount of $427, 708.50. Without discussion, Ingle Refvem motioned and Drew Matteson
seconded the motion to approve. Motion passed unanimously.
Committee members arriving late were updated on the earlier conversation regarding the Deed for Conveyance
md title insurance matters. Randy advised the Committee that the title company asked for a survey and wanted
~o know if one had been done prior to the start of construction. Ron Anderson noted that there was a survey
Jone when the extra land was purchased. Randy recommended that a survey be completed ifthere was not one
available. The Committee directed John Walker to contact Jim Bailey's office to see if a survey was included
with the condemnation documentation on file and to coordinate that information with Randy. Additional
;onversation regarded the inclusion of the access routes, and there was general agreement that those access
'outes should be included on the title insurance.
Engineers Report: Rob Anderson updated the Committee on the progress of construction at the plant, stating
that things are going very good. He advised the Committee that the mixers are set, roofing is on, centrifuge
room is in place, and the UV is going to be set next week. The contractor is indicating that early October is
projected for completion of construction. Rob clarified information regarding the weirs, stating that there are 2
weirs and that the one discussed at the last meeting was for the SBR. Mike LaPorte noted for the record that the
engineer is to sign off on all changes made.
Rob then asked the Committee for approval of an additional $3,421 for Change Order NO.9 for setting pipe and
conduit for the SBR. He noted that the Committee approved an amount of $15,000 at the June JFOC meeting,
but that actual costs came in higher than estimated. He confirmed that this was related to work on the SBR
Improvements and that the amount of this change order would be taken off of the bottom line for the total SBR
Improvements change order. Ron Anderson motioned and Chris Seeman seconded the motion to approve the
total cost of$18,42l for Change Order No.9. Motion passed unanimously.
Old Business: Attorney Responsibility and Protocol. Mike LaPorte noted that this matter was discussed at the
last JFOC meeting without resolution. Mike stated that his concern is who should be authorized and responsible
to engage the JFOC attorney for various matters. Short discussion continued regarding issues of conflict of
interest and the staff contacting the attorney. Bob Wolf suggested that each District should discuss the matter
separately with their respective Boards and recommended that the matter be tabled. The Committee
nanimously agreed to table the matter for further discussion at the August JFOC meeting.
iew Business: Chairman Powers. John Walker, noting that the Committee asked him to review the
Consolidation Agreement to determine the powers of the JFOC Chairman, advised the Committee that the
agreement is silent on that matter. He advised that it is the Committee's responsibility to determine what
powers the Chairman has and set it as a matter of protocol. He did not feel that amendment to the agreement
was required. Chris Seeman questioned the purpose of the discussion. It was noted that there were a couple
members who were not in attendance at June's JFOC meeting, where the matter was discussed at length. Mike
LaPorte stated that he felt that matters should be run through the Chairman before contacting the attorney.
Mike also stated that he felt that there was a need for someone who is accessible during the day to be a contact
person for the public, who would also make decisions, coordinate issues and make sure that agenda items get to
the meeting. Chris then asked if there are matters that are manager/attorney related. Steve Sumrall stated that
he felt that the burden needed to be with the manager and didn't feel that the Chairman should be empowered
where it was not needed. Mike stated that he felt those powers would be relating to administrative powers.
With discussion continuing on the same course, Ingle Refvem suggested that this matter also be tabled and that
the individual Districts should review the matter with their respective Boards. The Committee unanimously
agreed to table the matter for further discussion at the August JFOC meeting.
Manager Report: Ron Anderson noted that everything at the plant is running smooth. A question was raised
concerning the issue of the amount of fill dirt needed at the plant site. Joe Fuqua advised the Committee that
the contractor states that there is enough fill at the site, Joe advised that he did not feel that there would be
enough. Bob Wolf noted that Grand County No.1 has fill dirt that they would donate if needed. After brief
. iscussion, there was an agreement to wait for the contractor to bring up the matter. If the fill dirt from Grand
-':ounty No. 1 is needed, it would be made available to the contractor, but they would be responsible for hauling
ad related costs.
Joe Fuqua also advised the Committee that the transformer is scheduled to be installed next week, the gas line is
being surveyed, and preliminary work for the SBR is done.
