Shareholders Present.
Tim Gallagher, Ryan Dore
The purpose of this board meeting is to evaluate two homeowners who have expressed an interest in becoming board members. Both Tim Gallagher and Ryan Dore provided the board with a brief background about themselves. David met previously with both Ryan Dore and Tim Gallagher and recommended the board accept them as new board members. Blair seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. There are now five board members. David will be taking both new board members to tour the facilities to begin bringing them up to speed with its operations.
David Richman will be turning over the operations of the water company by the end of 2026. There are several options put forth by David. The first is with the new board members taking on David’s responsibilities. Another alternative; David has been in contact with a management company that has expressed interest in managing the MMMWC, and a proposal is forthcoming. Finally, another option is retaining a full-time operations Manager.
Account Receivables were discussed along with variations to enforcement of collections. Board member Ryan Dore will be evaluating the current shut-off notice and proposing changes to the document as discussed.

Some of our users have signed up for automatic quarterly payments.
However, when there is a supplemental bill, this does not fall into
the quarterly payment authorization, and an additional payment must be
scheduled. If not, late charges are incurred.
As an alternative, one can adjust their authorization to monthly
payments, which will pay any supplemental charges on a timely basis.The way the portal should be setup is "monthly" and the box "Balance
Due" should be checked. No dollar amount should be entered. If there
isn't a balance, nothing will be deducted.

President Remarks
Thank you to the Board member and two shareholders who attended today's meeting. Shareholders show little interest in the water company's operations. We need more participation from shareholders. The current board members are aging, so the Water company needs to bring in new members to ensure it continues to operate effectively. David will be gone for extended periods of time and would like to turn over day-to-day operations of the water company to our two operators and other board members. One board member is only a part-time resident and would not be available if problems were to occur. We have two shareholders that have expressed interest in becoming board members but were not present at the meeting. David will contact these prospective board members to see if they are still interested in becoming board members; and the Board will interview them in November and/or December. If there is no interest the water company will eventually need to hire a management company which could increase water prices.
Hal Cady seconded Blair Hafner's motion to approve the minutes from last year. Motion passed unanimously.
The water system is operating normally with no outstanding problems. Well five is back in service and pumping beyond expectations after repairs. The issue concerning well three easement is resolved; and we are working on an additional easement to install a new pressure reduction station to replace the existing one. Cleaning is underway for both water tanks; one has completed. An equipment issue occurred, which postponed the cleaning of the second tank until next year. Telemetry is working well. David is changing the phone and internet service to Race Communications from Frontier to reduce costs.
Financial status. There is currently $1.2 million dollars in reserves. This year, our contract water sales generated $10,000.00. There are $ 7,500.00 in outstanding receivables.
One shareholder is not paying standby fees. We will continue to recover these fees. There are several overdue payments and shut-off notices will be set out to the homeowners, if non-responsive.
The Company has completed the cross-connection survey and inspection mandated by the state. During this inspection, several concerns were noted, and the Company has asked that backflow devices be installed. In addition, all sprinkler systems with a backflow device attached will need yearly inspection by a certified inspector per the state of California. The certification letter should be sent to MMMWC, either to P.O. Box 5038 in Mammoth or via e-mail to david@mountainmeadowswater.com .
The water quality for the MMMWC is good, with the annual report sent out previously this year. It is also available on the website at www.mountainmeadowswater.com .
There will not be any water rate increase this year, but operating costs keep increasing. The board will address this issue next year.
The water lateral responsibility policy was amended/clarified to reflect some recent installation variations. The Company will not be responsible for water laterals that are totally on/within private property. David Richman made the motion. Blair Hafner seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
The board discussed the phasing out of David from the operations from the water company.
Operators will need to assume responsibility for water company day-to-day operations by the end of next year, with the board overseeing the process.
A quorum was not present with proxies so the board will remain the same.
A motion was made by David Richman to adjourn the meeting and seconded by Hal Cady. The motion passed unanimously.
The meeting concluded at 10:35 AM.
