Old Business:
Joint Deed of Conveyance. Steve Sumrall advised that the Fraser Board discussed the matter at
their last Board meeting and felt that a Quit Claim Deed was appropriate. He indicated that
Fraser may be agreeable to the purchase of title insurance in lieu ofa Special Warranty Deed as
requested by Grand County No.1. BobWolf advised that Grand County NO.1 has not discussed
the matter any further but that they would like to see a proposal for title insurance. Mike LaPorte
noted that he would do some additional research on title insurance policies and costs. Mike also
noted that he felt a letter from the engineer qualifying the viability of the plant should be
provided in addition to the title insurance.
Mike LaPorte noted that discussion regarding SBR Improvements would take place later in the
meeting.
New Business. Regulations of the revolving loan fund from the State require that a Draft Plan of
Operations be submitted when plant construction is at 50% completion. It was noted for the
record that the document was submitted to Donna Davis of the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment on April 2, 2003 by Robert Anderson of MWE.

Mike LaPorte noted that Ray Pribble ofMWE was in attendance and asked ifthere were any
matters that he had to bring to the Committee. Ray advised the Committee that Project Manager
for JTJ, Nancy Schoen has left the company and that someone from the Three Lakes district
would be coming over to help out. They did not feel that this was affecting construction. Other
than that, things are going good, no problems. It was also noted that the John T. Jones CEO, Jeff
Jones was at the construction meeting this afternoon, but had to leave to catch a return flight so
was not able to attend the JFOC meeting.
Attorney Report. None.
SBR Improvements. Rob Anderson ofMWE explained in detail issues relating to concerns that
have been expressed by the JFOC Committee relating to communications for SBR
Improvements. Rob confirmed that all the reports done with the understanding that this would
be a 2.7 mgd plant. Rob advised that he did not get any response from the State to his January
23, 2002 letter addressing technical and design comments made by Jim Chubrillo. Rob also
stated that he did not feel that the State would have any concerns with the improvements
indicated in Option 2 as previously presented to the JFOc.
Bob Wolf asked if the $200,000 for Option #2 was realistic. Bruce Hutchins asked if that figure
included engineering costs. Rob advised that engineering costs are included in that price, but
that until the change order is completed he would not be able to confirm all the costs and said
that if it comes in too high, we will have to figure out what to do.
It was decided that information needs to get to the State Health Dept. to confirm if there are any
concerns with Option 2 before a decision could be made. It was noted that if we are getting a 2.7
mgd plant and the State has no problem with Option 2 as presented, the Committee would feel
more comfortable approving the change order. Rob advised that he would do a letter to Jim
Chubrillo tomorrow and would get a change order to JTJ for Option 2 and to include the pricing
for stubbing out for a clarifloculator. This information would be presented at the next JFOC
meeting.
Board Choice. Mike LaPorte noted that the Governor of the State of Colorado has declared this
week as Waste Water Management Employee week and the Committee thanked Bruce Hutchins,
Kirk Klancke and Joe Fuqua for the work they do for the Districts.
Motion to adjourn was made by Drew Matteson and seconded by Ingle Refvum. Motion carried
8-0. Meeting was adjourned at 7:05 pm
The next meeting of the JFOC is scheduled for May 22, 2003.
