until March 18 th. It will be posted at the office and reader
board. Also in the Needler.
Water project: All outdoor work has been suspended due to winter
weather. Tentative schedule is for completion by late April.
Indoor work is continuing. Dick’s complete report will
be filed with the board minutes. Paul questioned not putting
in a chlorinator now instead of waiting. The engineer currently
believes it can wait and better equipment may be available in
the future if its needed. Report accepted.
Roy talked about all the responses that was received on the
ad – he talked to over 50 people. Roy, Jim and Judy reviewed
the top qualified applicants. He would like anyone with concerns
to contact him. Report accepted.
Jim reported that the new office manager will be Reida Wegman.
She was picked out of the top 3 applicants. A thank you to Mary
Bunney, Ann Blanchard, and Bob & Nancy Melson for reviewing
the resumes. He also reported that Arne was contacted regarding
a new grant for greenbelt thinning. An application has been submitted.
Currently some thinning is being done at no cost to the Ponderosa
Diane Johansen questioned how much thinning will be done on private
property using up the grant money. Paul suggested that Arne re-visit
an area where a bridge was built as feels it may have been damaged
by the loggers. Ground is soft and fragile. Jim will be checking
the area today. Mary Bunney had heard that a large tree may have
been taken down that was not marked.
Tim Olson has asked for some help on the Needler and wonders
if the Board should get more involved. Its been agreed that we
need a central place where all articles can be submitted. Some
more changes will be made to make things move smoother. He would
like to have some help from the office personnel.
Jim mentioned that the budget item ‘maintenance contractor’ will
be changed to indicate caretaker.
Roy brought up the MacBryer settlement. The Ponderosa will
supply water to those 4 lots and in return will eliminate water
rights to 4 other lots. Hopefully we will have 4 lots of paying
customers.
Terry Drexler inquired as to 1 or 2 employees to replace Paul.
Roy said that the Board agreed that 2 employees will be needed
to provide the Ponderosa with full time help. We feel that we
have covered all our bases and salaries will be kept within budget.
The position will be a 1-year contract with possible extensions
if all qualifications are impressive.
Dick questioned the format of the financial report. Reida explained
that it will all be in order by the next meeting date.,
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted
Judy Toenyan, Secretary
