The Service Authority Board of Directors began their meeting at 6:30pm and opened with no public comment. Chairman Christopher Werle had a short report that he attended a luncheon on December 12th and Supervisor Howard's retirement ceremony on the 14th. Ruby Brabo's report included the same luncheon as well as a recommendation that future Service Authority meetings begin at 6pm instead of 6:30pm. She also noted that Christopher Cox was awarded the Making A Difference Award. This was the first year for this award and he was the Service Authority employee chosen for making a positive contribution to the community. Winners received an embroidered hat.
Andrew Grossnickle presented his annual audit report on the Service Authority's accounts and nothing was out of order. Operating income, or net income, for the last fiscal year was roughly $470,000.
General Manager Christopher Thomas then gave his report with a roll call of the number of water and sewer connections for households and businesses. He said they were roughly halfway through the year and were at roughly the halfway mark of their expected connection status. Thomas then gave an update on the fire hydrants in the Cleydael subdivision. He said the Out Of Service tags were removed and the hydrant bonnets, or tops, were painted red to signify their flow was in the zero to 500 gallons per minute (gpm) range. This is in accordance to Chapter 5 of the National Fire Protection Association's Recommended Practice for Fire Flow Testing and Marking of Hydrants (NFPA 291) that states a Class C hydrant is one that produces less than 500 gallons per minute and should be marked with red paint on the tops and nozzle caps. Thomas did clarify a question from Brabo that there are still some hydrants in the County that need to be marked. Thomas also attended Howard's retirement and thanked both him and Cedell Brooks for their service and for being a "constant" during his tenure. Thomas said the Service Authority already gave Howard his gift and then gave Brooks a sweatshirt to which Brooks asked "Is it the right size?" This garnered a laugh from many in the audience and Thomas replied that it was indeed the right size.
The Board then went into closed session for a personnel matter regarding the General Manager at 6:47pm. Thomas returned from the closed session at 7:17pm and the rest of the Board returned from closed session a minute later and just as quickly adjourned.
