(b) On Going Projects- Manger Green infonned the Board of a minor sewer overflow that occurred December 26,2015. Since our sewer jet truck would not start Manager Green asked QCSD for use of their jet truck. They responded and got the plug cleared very quickly. Then on New Year's Eve QCSD requested Mike's help with an electrical issue they were having. This shows ongoing mutual aid between the Districts.

A tractor was found in Indiana with an estimated cost of $38,000. There was discussion about the last Board decision on the tractor purchase and how much authority was given to Manager Green regarding price limits and purchasing a tractor without first bringing specific tractor information to the Board for approval. It was detennined that Manager Green had been given permission to purchase one of two tractors that were presented to the Board in October but not given authority to purchase a tractor at his digression. It was decided to hold a Special Meeting on Thursday January 14, 2015 regarding the continuing effort to purchase a tractor for the District. Purchase of a new service truck will also be discussed at that meeting. Minutes of January 12, 2016 GENERAL MANAGERS REPORT (CONTINUED)

The first location is adjacent to where Tank #I is now. The second location is on Peppard Flat Road. Neither piece of property is owned by the District. The first location would be cheaper due to existing infrastructure already in the area. Manager Green was instructed to contact !he owners of the parcel next to the existing tank and see if they are interested in selling a small portion of it to the district.
