Cash at the end of February was more than that of last year. Our actual Monthly Cash in February of this year virtually matched the operational cash flow of last year. This happened in January and February. The year's Aggregate for both months is also identical. The Actual Cash is off from three years ago, due to the lack of new homes in the park. The cash flow is still positive. Pat Burns, Lot 1194, asked if the monthly billing helped the budgeting process better than the quarterly billing? Treasurer Zoeller answered, "not necessarily, because our budget is annual totals. We don't budget cash flow, we budget accrual income." 

 

                        a. Manager's Report – Ken Harrington

Manager Harrington asked that his report be entered into the minutes and will entertain questions at this time. Treasurer Zoeller asked if he had heard anything from the State Legislation regarding water treatment changes? Mgr. Harrington added that he has come up with a treatment system and process design to hopefully create a change to the California ground water rule to allow treatment of a ground water well impacted with fecal contamination. This will require a pilot study. Vice President Clark asked about the time taken for the pilot study which will take one to three years. Mgr. Harrington would like a better financial position before a treatment plant is created.   President Lowe asked about the completion of Well 49A. Mgr. Harrington explained that the well will be completed in the third week of April. The inspection will take place at that time. The well will produce 130 gallons per minute. Director Mommer asked about the "open pit" near the Equestrian Center. Mgr. Harrington explained that Well 47A had a failed pipe. The pipe ruptured and they made an attempt to repair but couldn't keep the water from filling up. It was dried up enough on Friday so that they could shovel a trench to channel the water out. They will be keeping an eye on it and they should be able to repair some time next week. Director Mommer also asked about the well cover by the entrance to the Clubhouse. Mgr. Harrington explained that, according to State regulations, there has to be a cover over the wells so that the chemicals aren't exposed to direct sunlight. The Board of Directors approved the covers. They have purchased 9 covers and will be installing them on various wells. Director Swire asked about the backhoe. Mgr. Harrington said that it is just about completely repaired.
