Public Comment 

Landscape Plan for

Misty Creek 

Detention Pond 

MOU with the Town 

Administrator’s 

Report 

It was noted that the flowers along Leather Chaps were appreciated and Triview needs to replace those that have died.

The Board continued its consideration of a Landscape Plan for the Misty Creek Detention Pond.  Mr. Hussey presented two revised plans that included, one following the previous design and one with two bike obstacle courses. There was a lengthy discussion on the Plan with comments from the audience.  The main item of interest was the proposed half-court.  Three guests expressed support for the concept and one opposed the half-court.

Consideration by the Board included various aspects related to benches, tables, trash receptacles, lighting, grasses, trees, drainage, noise potential, types of uses, use times, and neighborhood needs.  It was determined that the bike course did not have support from the Board and was eliminated as an alternative.  The main item that generated the most discussion was the half-court.  The Plan was considered with and without the half-court.

After consideration of the matter for approximately one hour, it was moved by Julie Glenn, seconded by Steve Remington and unanimously acted upon by the Board to approve a Landscape Plan that include two seating areas and a central half-court basketball pad.  Accordingly, Mr. Hussey of Nolte & Associates was directed to finalize the Plan and bring it back to the Board.

Ms. Cathy Green, Town Manager, informed the Board that the Town will be ready to discuss the aspects of integrating the Town and Triview at the August Meeting.  The Town is still interested in the effort.  She said that preliminary numbers show approximately $500,000 in savings.  Ms. Green then briefly explained what was examined.  The Board stated that August will work and it needs to see how the money flows and how the service level is maintained.  

Mrs. Hill reported that in the packet there is the statement of revenues and expenses through the end of June.  The revenues are flat due to the lack of fees and she explained the expenses.  It was moved by Julie Glenn, seconded by Steve Remington and unanimously acted upon by the Board to approve invoices, vouchers and the check warrant report as presented without the payment on the WWTF Expansion.

Mrs. Hill presented the Resolution approving the Colorado Water Resources & Power Development Authority Loan for $2,000,000 to complete the WWTF Expansion.  Also the Sherman & Howard Engagement Letter was considered.  After discussion of the requirements involved in order to close by 7/30/08, it was moved by Julie Glenn, seconded by Steve Remington and unanimously acted upon by the Board to approve said Resolution.  The Parity Lien Bond was also approved along with the Engagement Letter.  There is a Loan Payment that will be made by August 1st.  It was determined that there will not be a need for a November Election.  The Budget process was also briefly discussed.  Mr. Simpson recognized the hard work that Mrs. Hill, Mr. Thieme and Mr. Sistar put forth to get the Loan approved.

Mr. Trinity from Nolte reported that WWTF effort is proceeding with an end-of-the-year target date.  He has been involved in WTPB which is near completion and it is anticipated by the end of August there will be substantial completion.  Weaver will come back in October and tie it in.  

Mr. Susemihl reported that he had nothing to bring to the Board at this time.

Mr. Simpson reported that Well A-8 is tied into the System.  The A-4 and Vault will be completed within the next three weeks.  On A-8, it was noted that there were resident concerns on the drainage and vegetation.  Mr. Simpson then described the program that will be implemented to address the issues.

There was a discussion on responsibilities on Sidewalks.  Mr. Simpson stated that the Sidewalks in the residential areas are not a Triview responsibility.  The Curb and Gutter are on the District.  The Public Sidewalks the District constructed along Lyons Tail and Leather Chaps are Triview’s responsibility.

The issue of weeds along the curb line and the asphalt was discussed. 

Mr. Simpson reported that Triview sent a response letter to John Laing Homes on its request and there has been no response.  Mr. Simpson brought up the matter of the size of the Street Signs and described the problems involved in trying to stay with the current dimensions and requested approval of going with a 6 inch high sign from 9 inch with 5 inch letters.  The District will look into composite poles versus the steel and the problems with the wood posts that exist.  A possible leakage problem was raised in Homestead Park B and it will be looked at.

It was moved by Steve Remington, seconded by Julie Glenn and unanimously acted upon to go into Executive Session under 24-6-402.4e:  Discussion of Matters Relative to Contract Negotiations at 7:12 pm.

The Board came out of Executive Session at 7:53 pm. It was moved by Steve Remington, seconded by Steve Cox and unanimously acted upon by the Board to pay the current WWTF Invoice.
