Kitty Van SteeleMinutes
A motion was made to approve the minutes of the October 17, 2020 Annual Zoom meeting by Blair Hafner, seconded by David Richman. Board unanimously approved the minutes.Financial Status
The MMMWC has nearly $800,000.00 dollars in the bank. MMMWC has made $62,000.00 in additional income this year by selling water for construction projects. Because of the additional income from commercial sales, the water rates will remain the same as last year. However, we need to keep in mind that portions of the system are over 40 years old and will need replacement and upgrades in the future.Wells and system
Wells 3 and 5 are operating fine and the ground water levels remain about the same as last year. The uranium levels in wells 1 and 4 have tested below the maximum allowable level for uranium and the MMMWC will be filing the paperwork to get the wells recertified for use by the proper water agencies. Issues with the radio system with the water meters have been resolved and they are up and operational. The emergency generator is up and running.
There have been issues with the quality of the power provided by SCE which is causing problems with some of the well controls. David is monitoring the situation. Solar panels are being installed at wells 3 and 5 along with the generator to keep batteries charged during power failures.Update of the operational manual
Tim Rudolph is working on updating the MMMWC’s operational manual. When completed the operation manual will be more user friendly and will decrease David Richman’s workload and allow for an easier change of management if David should ever retire.Water conservation
Water usage was up 10% this year. There were 46 supplemental billings totaling $61,000.00 as compared to 51 supplemental billings totaling $34,000 last year.
If next year remains a dry year, the state, may enforce water rationing so pray for rain or snow.The board discussed the water overage use billing with a homeowner.
Elections
The Proxies were counted, and a quorum was not reached. All board members agreed to remain on the Board. David Richman was elected President, Hal Cady will remain as Secretary and Blair Hafner will remain member at large.The meeting was adjourned at 9:55 AM.

Sierra Meadows Development
An e-mail was sent to the board by a resident concerned that the remaining Sierra Meadows lots were going to be sold and built as Condos.

The water system only has sufficient water to handle the existing and allocated shares at buildout. Any more shares would require a new well, of sufficient capacity and water quality to be paid for by the applicant.
