OPERATIONS

 

Mr. Dulle informed the trustees of a power surge at the Water Plant which may have been responsible for some equipment failure.  A representative from Southwestern Electric said a squirrel got in the transformer and caused an outage for several businesses.  It tripped two breakers.  A new motor had to be put in a pump, as well as a new motor in one of the air conditioners.  It may be something we could claim on insurance.

An appraiser from Country Companies came by the office to give an appraisal on all HSSD properties.  It has not been done for several years and changes have taken place.  This will get the insurance stream-lined and determine where we have too much coverage and where we need more coverage.

ADJOURNMENT

Mr. Hayes made a motion to adjourn the regular meeting.  Mr. Van Sandt seconded the motion and all the Trustees voted “Aye”.

Respectfully submitted,

Carla Lankster, District Clerk
