Project Updates

Construction updates: Charlie/RH2 site meeting updates: The paving on Lakeview Drive was done on 10/07/14. Charlie was approached by one of the home owners regarding cracks in their driveway. He indicated that the District needs to have a plan on how to address the driveway issues. Ryan from RH2, after inspecting the driveways feels that they can be crack sealed in Phase 1 and if necessary seal coated after Phase 2 is complete.

Commissioner Klasell moved to crack seal the affected driveways this year, Commissioner Harris seconded, passed.

Charlie recommended to Karen at RH2 not to gravel the maintenance road. He feels it is too steep for travel by the average vehicle. He indicated that the existing tanks will not be removed for 2-3 weeks, possibly more. He also reported that one of the home owners is concerned about the water runoff from the property across Lakeview Dr. onto their property. Ryan indicated that they will look at the area and determine a solution with foliage or other products.

Charlie reported that when the area next to the Shilling residence was prepped for pavement with gravel, the contractors laid gravel over the property line onto the Tice property and that when the asphalt was applied, it went over the property line. It was decided the Commissioner Klasell will email both Tice and Shilling and suggest that they may want to provide each other with a letter indicating that they aware of the issue and that the property belonging to Tice will remain his property. Or if the wish, the contractor will cut out the asphalt and remove the gravel up to the Shilling property line.

Waletzky Project email: Commissioner Klasell will answer his concerns via email.

Brown Rd Reservoir abandonment date confirmation: Charlie indicated that it will have to remain in place until after the new pump house is operable.

Brown Road System Connection

Much discussion as to whether or not Brown Road will use the new tank or continue to use their existing tank before their new mainline is installed. Karen Kornher will review the plans and email a response.

Property Owner issues – none at this time.

Updates on the 2014 DWSRF loan process

Commissioner Klasell reported application was submitted online on September 17th and she received confirmation from Sara Herrara at DOH that it was received. They won’t review any of the application until November 1. Also, Karen Klocke said she spoke with Mark Barnett at Dept of Commerce and he will structure the loan to be 21 years, instead of 20 so our first payment won’t be until October of 2016. Therefore there is no need to convert our LID into an ULID.

 

Other Project Issues

Lester Addition water rights transfer

Marc Marquis advised the commissioner’s that DOE transferred and approved 4.4 acre/ft of Lester Addition’s water right to the District. Mark Peterson confirmed that no transfer deed for this was prepared in July of 2012 when all associations transferred their assets/water rights. Marc Marquis has prepared a quit claim deed for transfer, and based on the MOU between Lester Addition and the District it is their intent for us to receive those water rights. Since Whispering Pines became responsible for providing them water when their system failed, the last president of WPWUA has authority to sign the transfer document. Once that document is signed and notarized, Marc Marquis will record the deed at the county.

John Steer meter location

Karen Kornher confirmed that all customers that have meters relocated will be getting new meters/vaults. John Steer is one such customer; he will only be assessed for the meter reading attachment as his current meter does not have one. There was much discussion on how the meters being moved in Whispering Pines could be moved instead of replaced, as all of those additional meters were not budgeted for. No decision was made.

Two track road easement

Commissioner Bohn is concerned the pipe was placed in the wrong location. He provided a copy of the current Brown Road well easement with a drawing of where he thinks the pipe is located. He and Charlie will walk the area to determine if it was placed as designed. Until we know for sure that the placement follows the design, we really can’t evaluate how many linear feet are on each parcel. Subject was tabled.

Brown Road easement (dirt road)

Much discussion as to whether or not this is private property or a public right of way. Karen Kornher said that the assessor shows it as a non-maintained county road, but will check with Fitzpatrick (our surveyor) to verify this is true.

Notification letter of new higher water pressure in system at start up

Commissioner Harris prepared a letter to be sent to all customers in Whispering Pines and Lester addition advising them that there will be pressure changes once we switch over to the new reservoir. Karen Kornher is going to modify the letter, and include a table with the changes to their pressure at the meter (either up or down) and will also provide a way to calculate the pressure at the homes, depending on location on their parcel.

Commissioner Klasell moved that this letter be sent after Commissioners review Karen Kornher’s modifications and additions, Commissioner Harris seconded. Motion passed.

Water line AAA insurance

A customer informed the commissioners of an insurance plan for sewer and service lines, he asked that we forward to all customers. The commissioner’s decided that it was not the District’s place to distribute the information as it could appear that we are endorsing it.

Other Issues

Brown Road valve leak

Charlie discovered a valve leak at the corner of Brown Road and Fir. We are losing approximately 1/2gal/minute. Commissioner Harris said this is a known leak, and asked Karen Kornher is that line was going to be replaced. She will get back to us with that information, repair decision tabled until we hear back from her.

Franz Meyer Connection – no contact from Mr. Meyer or his attorney. Until we know for sure he has an easement across private property, we can’t place a meter for him next summer. This led to discussion about 3 parcels in Lester Addition that are currently sharing one service line. Commissioner Klasell will compose a letter reminding those parcels that they will need to have an easement in place and also run independent services lines to the mainline on Fir Drive to be connected next summer.

Vance Lake parcel

The District received a call from a gentleman requesting if there is water available if this parcel is sub platted. Karen Kornher determined our maximum connections (ERU) are 218 so the clerk can advise him that as of this date we do have water available. However, that can change in the future if water usage changes or more parcels connect to the system.

Operations update from Charlie

Charlie noticed big chlorine swings in Whispering Pines, discovered another leak on Lester Addition. It is very significant water loss, and the leak is on a service line that is serving 3 separate parcels. The service line has been shut off at the mainline, and Commissioner Harris will compose a letter to send to those customers advising that water will not be turned back on until repairs are made.

Snowplow Bids

Commissioner Klasell reminded the commissioners that it is time to send out request for bids for snowplowing. It was determined that the only areas for plowing will be Mtn. Park pump house LW pump house and BR new combined facility. We will issue a 3 year contract. Commissioner Klasell will compose the letter and send it to qualified parties on our small works roster.

 

Commissioner Harris moved to adjourn the meeting at 12:20pm, Commissioner Bohn seconded, meeting adjourned.

The next meeting will be held October 9, 2014 at 10:00 am

Thomas Leake, from RH2, joined the meeting.  He reported that he obtained from the project manager, a three week constructions schedule. Thomas also reported that the original plan called for an expensive pitless adapter for the pump house.  The contractor is recommending another one that is  less expensive but just as functional according to the contractor and Tumwater Drilling.  Thomas presented a change order for the part which will save the district monies.

Commissioner Bohn motioned to accept the change order, Commissioner Harris seconded, passed.

Charlie Cruickshank reported on the project process.  The contractor has encountered some issues with ground penetration due to the sandstone and rock.  But they will do what they have to do to get the job done.  He reported that there were some broken water lines that have been repaired.  They have also dug to put water lines into the pump house.

Other Project Issues

The attorney for a customer on Lake Wenatchee Hwy is requesting that he connect to the main system via his sister’s parcel, who is connected along Brown Road.  The Commissioners agreed that it is not an option. However since the project has been split into two phases, they agreed to pursue expanding our wetland permit to run a line up the Lake Wenatchee Highway at the customer’s expense.  Commissioner Klasell will email Karen Kornher to pursue the possibility and obtain an estimate of the cost.

2015 Funding:  Karen Klocke from the Dept. of Commerce and Dan Bannier from RCAC, are available to come discuss funding on Thursday, July 17th.  The Commissioners agreed to extend the July 10th meeting to that day.  Commissioner Klasell will ask Karen Kornher for a budget for Phase 2 before that meeting.

Project Issues

Construction Start Up Status Update

Thomas Leake reported on weekly meeting with contractor. They are currently working on installing the waterline up from Brown Road to Lakeview Dr. Biggest area of concern is the BRWU irrigation pipes are not in the location indicated on the plan. Thomas will contact Dave Leonard, prior BRWU president who installed the well and piping in 1993; he would know how they changed the piping from creek water to the well.

Karen Dickinson MOU addendum

Karen Dickson presented her argument as to why she feels the MOU is in breach and as such LWWD needs to compensate her for the items LWWD is unable to implement due to Dept. of Commerce restrictions within our federally funded loan.

Commissioner Harris moved to amend the motion adopted at the May 22, 2014 meeting to use the addendum that Commissioner Klasell prepared along with an offer of $1,000, by striking the $1,000 and inserting $2,000. Commissioner Klasell seconded, motion passed.

Karen Dickinson and the Commissioners then signed the addendum to the MOU.

Walk-through with contractor

Commissioner Harris briefly summarized what happened at the on-site meeting with the contractor on June 3rd.

Water Availability for Cona (Mt Park)

The county needs a letter from the District stating this parcel, while within our boundaries, is not part of the Mt. Park LID and we are unable to provide them water. This is because Mt. Park is a satellite ‘Class B’ system and will be at capacity of 13 connections once the LID is finalized at the end of Phase 2, summer 2015. Commissioner Harris will work up a form letter for the clerk to submit to the County.

Water connection for Franz Mayer (parcel 271719210050)

Franz Mayer’s agent had contacted our clerk about connecting to the system. The situation hasn’t changed, he will have to either acquire private easements and pay to install a service line across that easement to connect along Brown Rd., or wait until after Phase 2 is connected and pay to run a service line up Lake Wenatchee Hwy. We do not have a wetlands permit in place at this time to run any piping along Lake Wenatchee Hwy. Commissioner Klasell will have the clerk relay this information to Mr. Mayer’s agent.

PUD Fees

Karen Korhner sent an email earlier in the week the PUD Fees weren’t included in Belsaas and Smith’s bid as they were unable to get an estimate from PUD prior to the bid submittal date. The technical specifications require the contractor to pay these fees, yet RH2 had intended to remove that language since we have budgeted and planned to pay those fees directly. She asked for direction on how to proceed.

Commissioner Klasell motioned that the District will pay the PUD fees as budgeted, Commissioner Harris seconded, motion passed.
