Old Business

Discussion of payment method for Powe St. culvert:

- We are still waiting for a bill from Lincoln County. They are conducting an internal audit, which is slowing down their billing process. We expect the bill to be ~$30k. FEMA will pay 75%. 

- Rick drafted a "pass the hat" letter to ask neighbors to come up with the remaining 25%. We reviewed and approved it. The dollar value to be requested will be finalized when we get the bill from the county.

New Business
- Alex Derr has volunteered for another term. Sue and Rick approved and signed his renewal application to the county.

- The tax distribution we received from Lincoln County is based on a total neighborhood taxable assessed value of $7,000,680.

- We received a questionnaire from the US Census Bureau, but it does not appear to apply to an entity such as ours so we deferred it. 

- We discussed the possibility of erecting or procuring a bus shelter. We decided this is not within our charter or authority as a road district, but it is worth discussing among the neighbors to see what can be done as a community effort.

- Review of Powe St. Culvert replacement activity. Culvert replacement was completed last weekend and paving was finished this week. We visited the site and it looks very good. We met with Jerry Smith at the site. Jerry will work to re-install the guard rails. (p.s. At the time of transcribing these minutes on 10/20/13, the guardrail replacement was complete.)
Photos of the culvert replacement process are on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alex1derr/sets/72157636505828215/

- Review of areas of pavement that Seal Rock Water District (SRWD) is responsible for re-paving as part of the pipe replacement project. Rick has been in touch with SRWD to move this process along.

Old Business

- Review of Powe St. Culvert replacement plan. OR Emergency Management (OEM) plans to include this project in their May proposal package to FEMA. OEM is working on a cost/benefit analysis. Lincoln County would be willing to do the work if funding is approved, or the Special Road District could manage it ourselves. 

- Review of Seal Rock Water District (SRWD) pipe replacement. Work is complete except for the paving. 

New Business
- Welcome new member, Sue Valentine. Sue has generously volunteered to join the Silver Sands SRD. Her application is in process and we expect it to be approved soon. 

- Annual Physical Hazards Review and Road Inspection. Completed this past month by Rick and Alex. The beaver has tried piling sticks in the culvert, but it has not posed a threat to stream flow in the culvert. 

- Budget process begins this month. Rick is working on it. 

- Sinking pavement at Hwy 101 intersection. The contractors working on the water pipe replacement have  told us that the sinking pavement is likely due to a collapsing culvert parallel to the highway, and this culvert is probably owned by ODOT. The contractors have helped us out by leveling the entrance with some fill, but eventually ODOT will have to fix this.
