XI. New Business
Superintendent’s Report
Mr. Leslie explained that one of the guys had hurt his back at home and has been out for about a month. Mr. Leslie and Chief Operator Ed Alibozek had discussed the pump stations. Since a lot of work has been done, they felt the money that would have been spent on a pump station study would be better used for new control panels. They had an instrumentation person come to look at the pump stations and can get new control panels for $4,100 each. The Board agreed the money would be better spent on actual work than a study.
Preliminary Budget Discussion
Mr. Leslie distributed copies of the Draft Budget for FY08-09. There was a discussion about the budget and the sewer user rate increase to $228. It was decided that $2,500 would be taken from Vehicle Maintenance and $2,500 from Allowance for Uncollectible; this $5,000 would be put into the Vehicle Purchase Account. Mr. Leslie asked the Board if they would like to schedule a Special Budget Meeting; the Board didn’t feel it was needed. Mr. Leslie asked that the sewer user rate be set in April.
XII. Adjournment
Motion: To adjourn the meeting at the meeting at 8:10 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Laura Michael
Recording Secretary
