Budget presented as a prelimary budget that is basically the same as last year. We will begin with 3rd quarter numbers to project the final 2018 Budget.

 

Things are looking ok.

 

Radio station looking into getting the internet free and increase speed with a trade for some one liners.

 

We had the last payment on one of the loans for the WWTP – which is good since we are looking at finishing our new upgrades by the end of the year. Money collected now will go into the new debt retirement fund.

 

We continue to strive for 3 main goals with water and sewer services:

 

  1. Good Service
  2. Promote environmental responsibility
  3. Keep rates as low as we can

 

We will be able to keep up with Fremont expansion and if other economic development occurs we are ready to expand.

 

 

 

 

Meeting adjourned at 7:22 PM
