Greetings,

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a time when I like to reflect on the year. It’s been an interesting year for me. Changing careers after 12 successful years with a company was a very difficult decision. Having said that, I am very thankful for the opportunity the community and the CLPOA board has given me. This job has al-lowed me to utilize past skills to help with moving the community forward. More importantly, I have already met many great people that are helping me grow professionally and personally. I can’t wait to meet more residents. Reach out to me if you have anything on your mind, or would like to work together on a community project.

November was a smooth month for the community. Yes, I am referencing our roads! What a great job by all that was involved with the planning and execution of the work. The professionalism from A&B Asphalt is what we should expect, and seek, from all our service partners. Thanks again to the community to have the forward thinking years ago to create a road assessment. Without that, the community would not have be in the position to perform this project, nor in the position to resurface the remaining roads in the future. Great planning!

With the new roads, please be aware of your speed. I know it’s easier for your vehicle to glide down the road without noticing that your speed is over 25mph. However, it’s not a reason to get away with speeding. The patrol staff will continue to enforce the speed limit for the safety of the community.

As we move into winter, the activity of the grounds staff will slow down a bit. The staff is prepared to respond to snow and ice operations as needed. The winter months will be active for planning. We will be working on finalizing our 2018 operations budget and capital needs. Now is the time to set up a successful 2018.

Please take time to become familiar with our community website; especially if you are new to the community. The community website is www.choctawlake.com. There is a lot of useful information available, including community build-ing codes, rules and regulations, and community updates. The communication committee is working on additions to the website. Future additions will include maps of storage units that can be used to see where your space is, and what spaces are available to rent. The community calendar will be utilized in 2018 to inform everyone when events will be taking place. We will keep you posted as additions are made to the website. While checking out the website, please sign up for Choctaw weekly. By registering, you will receive weekly blog post that will keep you informed of community activities.

Thanks again for the opportunity to be your property manager. If I don’t talk to you before the end of the year, have a great holiday and Happy New Year! I look forward to successful and fun 2018!

Thank you,

Mike Casimir

Madison County Sewer Board District #2

Substantive Motions Approved in this Meeting –

Madison County Sewer District #2 held their regular quarterly meeting on Tuesday, August 1 at 7:00 p.m. in the Con-ference Room of the Choctaw Lodge.

Members present: John Mitchell, Brian Welch, Dick Hanna, Bob Dana and Jim Moran.

Excused: none

Others present: Tom Taylor & Rob Slane from the Sanitary Sewer District and Craig Smith recording secretary.

John Mitchell called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.

Daren & Rhonda Blum (2019 Cherokee Drive) were present to discuss the incident they had with sewage backup in their home. Their basement flooded for about 6 hours until a valve upline was shut off. They have a new grinder pump, about 2 months old, but discovered that a coupling connecting the pump to the grinder was missing and caused sewage to be pumped into their home. Also, there was no check valve to prevent this flow into the house. This incident was considered a back-up situation by their insurance company. Tom Taylor explained that a grommet that goes into the valve was gone. With this seal gone it allowed pressure to go back into the system and it gets into the basin. With the basin lid being sealed tight the water has no where to go and will find the lowest point. Unfortunately, on a shared unit they are the lowest point. There was discussion on locations for back flow prevention check valves to avoid situations like this. The Board decided there needs to be education concerning the type of sewer system within Choctaw for both the insurance companies and homeowners/renters. Brian Welch suggested that information be included in the welcome package for new residents.

Tom reported there was a bump in the flow to the plant during the recent storm but it was much less than previous storms. He feels that the water table has to rise before it is noticed at the plant.

Madison County Administrator Rob Slane reported that the County has been meeting with the state concerning water production but has nothing new to report. The state is wanting to move forward but was unsure of their overhead costs. The County provided cost information to them about running their plant and justify their desire to get rid of it. Rob dis-cussed some of the concerns from Choctaw about whether to accept water from the county, update the existing plant or build a new plant. Some of the numbers being presented to residents appear to be skewed and not realistic.

John Mitchell asked for any additions or corrections to the May meeting minutes. Bob Dana made a motion to accept the minutes. Brian Welch seconded the motion. The minutes were approved.

Tom reported that since March the influent copper has gone from 159 to 362. He said that we met effluent limit during the December testing.

The Board reviewed the financials and delinquent accounts. Tom updated the Board on the Barnes pump failures and the pressure switch issue. He is also looking at the E-One new design pump. The plant filters were rebuilt this year and are running fine. A contractor is redoing some piping in the digesters. The clarifiers are good and may need sprockets replaced next year. The plant is running very good. The collection system however needs more work.

The meeting adjourned at 9:05 pm.

The next meeting is set for Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 7:00 pm.
