GMSA Board Holds Routine Meeting
Board members of the Grove Municipal Services Authority disposed of some 13 agenda items at this week's regular meeting, including taking action to set a policy on minimum pipe size for future developments and meter and water connections. The goal is to eventually have automated meter readings using wi-fi systems, eliminating three or four persons needed to read residential meters.
The board took no action on a request from Larry Harrelson regarding assistance with the water bill at Lendonwood Gardens but did not turn a deaf ear on the request. City Manager Bill Galletly said that Lendonwood was a valuable asset for the city's tourism program and perhaps another way could be found to assist.
The board also heard a presentation from John Gillette and Bob Daggett, Rural Water District #9, on a solution to the lack of fire hydrants at Lighthouse Springs and Patricia Island Estates. A total of eight new fire hydrants will be paid for by stakeholders, including GMSA, the Water District, developers, builders, and homeowners, at a total cost of about $19,200. Installation should be completed by December.
In other agenda items, the board:
--agreed to re-bid demolition of the old sewer/water plants.
--accepted a proposal from Archer Engineering for $12,166 for construction of the elementary school stand pipe altitude valve.
--discussed a proposal from Rural Water District #9 on future policies for fire hydrants and agreed that GMSA would pay 25% and the water district paying 25%, with the rest up to the developers.
--heard a presentation of the 2004-05 GMSA Audit.
--agreed to advertise for bids for odor control equipment to be installed on the line and lift stations adjacent to the old sewer plant, approximate cost of $60,000.
--turned down a request from Summit Energy pertaining to transportation fees on natural gas for Simmons Farms in Fairland.
--approved a line exemption for House of Hope for a six inch water and two inch gas line.
--discussed fixed gas prices from OneOK and the fact that it will be year-to-year from now on regarding locking in gas prices, rather than three or five year contracts as in the past.
