Swan Creek Canal Company Information

 

Swan Creek Canal Company July 11, 2022

The meeting was called to order by Chairman Paul Webb. The Board members present were Terry Allen, Bill Cox, Curtis Moldenhauer, and Riley Argyle on the phone.

Jennifer Cassillas tendered her resignation. The board accepted it with thanks to Jennifer for serving many years.

Discussion was held on a replacement for Jennifer. The board has interviewed a candidate. Some of the problems facing the board is the tracking of 1,000 shares. Jennifer worked hard on this particular problem, but sometimes families didn’t record them with the Canal Company when they gave them to their children.

Another problem the board discussed was the breach of the canal. Engineers, geologists, and big trucks hired by Conestoga with the advice from the canal board worked together to solve the issue. Of course renters at the Ranch were not happy with the noise and the dust from the work that had to be done so it took a little longer to finish. Now it is time for the bills to be paid and the insurance companies and lawyers will work on that.

  (The Board agreed to meet again in August).

The Board has contracted with JUB to help find grants to pressurize the pipe from Harbor Village to ? . Discussion was held on the pipe sizing. The engineers will be able to tell the board which size to get. The grant requires at 50% match in monies which will be difficult for Swan Creek Canal Company to raise. Hopefully by next year the grant will be in place.

Trails to go on top of the canal were discussed. Another topic was the idea of how to use water shares not currently being used.

The meeting adjourned.
