Jay Buckley thanks the Committee for the work done to complete the report for NH DES. Nancy Cole reports that DES has notified the office that the VDOE will be recommended for reimbursement in the amount of $6,767.14.

Culvert marking is discussed. Approximately 50% have been marked. Mike Smith states that an independent third party has complimented the District on the effort to mark the culvert locations. For protection of the culverts, the lifting of blade while plowing snow over a plastic culvert is recommended.
Gloria Aspinall has taken GPS coordinates for 68 culverts to date.
A final attempt at locating curb stop valves will be scheduled.
Jungfrau pump house valves have been tagged and listed. Oak station and Chocorua station will be done next. Additional information collected on pump house valves by Larry Sodano will be added to the current spreadsheet. Discussion is held on compiling all information into one central location.
Mapping is being worked with assistance from Ron Sandstrom.
Mike Smith discusses giving the isolation valve data collected directly to Engineer Paul Fluet without sending to Avitar first. As the water system Engineer, Paul Fluet is the person most in need of this information for plotting into the water cad model for the VDOE system. Discussion ensues on giving the information first to Avitar, creating maps for correction, correcting any locations necessary and then delivering the final information to Paul Fluet for adding to the water cad model. Erasable maps will be looked into; it is unknown if this format is still available.
Mike Smith makes a motion to request E size set of maps with isolation valve information from Avitar. Tommy Gunn seconds. Motion passed 6-0.

As built drawings for completed water system projects are discussed. The District does not have an as built drawing for the Jungfrau to Reinach Forced Main Water Project completed in 2010. The additional difficulties encountered in locating and identifying valves placed during this project due to a lack of these drawings is discussed.
Mike Smith makes a motion to vote for a new Chair for the Committee. Dinah Reiss seconds. Discussion ensues. Motion passed 4-2 with Jay Buckley and Larry Sodano voting against.
