1. Jarrod Hollinger discussed with the board his take on the utility fees. The board considered and planned on reducing the 6B units to 2 units as opposed to 3. The board proposed they would revert to the original calculation established by the district upon formation for the extraterritorial fee structure. The district would retroactively apply this to 2024 & 2025 and recalculate those fees and present it as a proposal.. Any amount paid by the Fly Shop in excess of this rate would be credited, and a payment plan would be established for any remaining balance to avoid turnover to the county treasurer.

A rate study will be conducted in the coming year, potentially in conjunction with USDA grant work, to establish fair rates for 2027 and beyond.

Craig Corts-Pearce also attended on behalf of the Tavern. Using the same original calculation an retroactively applying the extraterritorial fee structure calculation, and would also be conditional to the tavern dropping the lawsuit. Craig requested to avoid litigation and asked to settle with the board outside legal council. 

 

1. No comments made for the public hearing
2. The board adopted the budget.
3. The board adopted the resolutions
4. (added) Director Don noted a decline in communication and performance since August, citing issues with subcontractors and missed duties. Grant acknowledged his absence and distracted commitment to follow through with his role as he was preoccupied with other business most of the late summer/fall. He recognized that the district requires more attention and he stated he would accept the Board’s decision regarding his contract, including potential termination. He expressed a wish to stay on to oversee the completion of projects with the WWTP but no other duties. The board will review his status at the January meeting.
