package? Doug Day stated Terry was working a more traditional part time package and that Terry only
got pay if she worked and received no holiday or vacation pay.
There was a discussion as to whether or not to keep the Dunn and Bradstreet account open for the grant
processing. Doug Day said that CESD should keep the account open for this year because we are still
dealing with the USDA and that this is a requirement of the USDA. Jim Miller agreed making the
motion to keep the Dunn and Bradsreet account open, Doug Day seconded motion, motion carried.
There was a discussion on the items requested by Pat Prahl on the up and coming new mag meter
replacement. There was no motion made because this and these items may be placed on an agenda in the
near future.
There was a discussion and motion made approving the use of an outside contractor to help locate the
source of a water main leak we believe to be on the east side of Country Estates. Motion made by Jim
Miller, seconded by Doug Day, motion carried.
There was a discussion about how the financials would be released to the people of Country Estates.
Doug Day said that the financials would be released as a ledger and that account numbers would be
whited out and that there would be no employee personal information such as social security numbers,
addresses and such.
There was a discussion on what to do with residents and or create an ordinance or resolution in regards
to delinquent accounts. There was no motion made as this was only a discussion on what could be done
to remedy account delinquency. Doug Day said that we should maybe shut residents off at 90 days until
they can come in and sign paperwork on a payment plan. Some customers can not be shut off but this
does not mean they cannot contact CESD and make payment arrangements.

two hundred dollars behind but was concerned when people would be over one thousand dollars in
arrears.
