We have no old business, so we'll move straight into new business with Tim Crocker to give our operator's report, including our April 26th summary. Good morning. Good morning, Tim.

As part of my report today is your typical monthly report of operations and compliance for the wastewater facility. It was in total compliance for the month of April, continuing to do a stellar job. A couple of the other updates that I would like to provide to the board this morning is Highway 62 lift station is 100% in operation. old station if you've had a chance to ride it by forested edge apartments is gone and it looks wonderful it does look much better much better so a big improvement there milestone cleared the treatment plant they're still wrapping up some loosens there the primary treatment side the new side is completely done a few little electrical issues which you're going to have but

I think the ribbon-cutting went very well. There was lots of good feedback from people who completed the tour, the facility, and learned a lot about it. It was very well organized, so well done, Tim.

We've got a couple of issues we've got to change. With that being said, what I would like to, especially those residents that watch your broadcast, Anytime anybody would like to come down the doors open. Just give us a call. We'll set up a time We'll be glad to give it to her to might be interested.

That's wonderful Anything else from you that's it.

Thank you.

Thank you Do you have one is our request number 33 L from case contracting? We shouldn't have too many more of these to go. You'll get close and um this one is in the amount of nine hundred twenty eight thousand six hundred thirty seven dollars and tim you've reviewed this and things good so we need a motion to approve make a motion to approve as presented anything grimes makes the motion second michael grayson seconds all in favor say aye aye any opposed that is unanimous Would it be possible, Heather and Tim, for our next meeting to get a summary in the packet of where we are, the footboard, on what's left on this project?

I absolutely can. You already have access to that, but I'll send that to her.

Yeah, just so that they have it as well. It's just we're getting close to the end, and it'd be nice to know where we are and how much of the contingency, all that stuff, where it went. I know we used a portion of the proceeds to go over towards the 62 station and everything, so just a nice summary as we start to wind this down. Good deal. And then the other item that I had added, item C, staff update, this is actually a request to add a position, make the recommendation that the city council amend the salary ordinance to add a position. We've talked for a while about the need to grow the staff at the plant once the new plant came online. And one of the staff positions that we need to add is basically administrative support for the office. This person would provide administrative support and also be able to provide a backup for laboratory services as well. And I would just like a motion from the board that we pass along our recommendation to the city council that they amend the salary ordinance and create that position. Make that motion as you present it. Nathan Grimes makes the motion. I'll second. Michael Grayson seconds. Any questions on that? All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? And that is unanimous. And ladies and gentlemen, unless Donna needs anything else from us, I'm good. Or unless Brad has anything for us, I just need a motion to adjourn. I'll make that motion. All right. Michael makes the motion. Second. Nathan seconds. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. We are adjourned.
