Present were the following Trustees: Blake Grooters, Clifford Dillon,Midge Clark,Jason Carbee and Scott Holder. Also present was Klancy M. Peterson, legal counsel for the District. Notice of the meeting was given in advance thereof by publication in The Daily Record on December 2, 2022, a copy of the Proof of Publication being attached to these minutes. Notice of this meeting was simultaneously given to all members of the Board of Trustees, and a copy of their Acknowledgment of Receipt of Notice to the Trustees of this meeting is attached hereto. All proceedings of the Board were taken while the convened meeting was open to the attendance of the public. The meeting was called to order by Scott Holder and Blake Grooters and the Chairman advised the Trustees that this was an open meeting and that a copy of the Open Meetings Act was available for inspection by anyone who wished to review the Act during the meeting and a copy was available at the office of counsel. Counsel then presented the Notice of the meeting that had been published on December 2, 2022, in The Daily Record of Douglas County. Counsel then presented to the Board the election results certified by the Douglas County Election Commissioner. Ballot 1 electees were Blake Grooters, Clifford Dillon and Scott Holder. Ballot 2 electees were Jason Carbee and Midge Clark. All Trustees being re-elected and current owners of real estate in the District,the Trustees were satisfied that the duly elected Trustees were qualified to serve. Counsel then advised that it was necessary to elect a Chairman and Clerk for the following year. A motion was made by Midge Clark and seconded by Jason Carbee to nominate Blake Grooters as Chairperson. No other nominations were made and all Trustees present voted unanimously to re-elect Blake Grooters as Chairperson. A motion was then made by Scott Holder and seconded by Jason Carbee to nominate Clifford Dillon as Clerk. All Trustees present unanimously voted to re-elect Clifford Dillon as Clerk of the District. Counsel then presented Continuation Certificates for the Chairman and Clerk of the District. The Board reviewed the Continuation Certificates and,on a motion duly made,authorized and recommended that Clifford Dillon and Blake Grooters execute the Continuation Certificates for the Clerk and Chairperson respectively. 1 Counsel then presented to the Board the receipt of the general liability policy provided by Chastain Otis. Counsel informed the Board that the policy coverage limits were unchanged from last year and presented the policy for inspection by the Board. There being no further discussion, the Board concluded that the general liability policy is adequate. Counsel then informed the Board that the Bluestem Capital Partners' representatives were unavailable for today's meeting and distributed the financial packet prepared by Bluestem Capital Partners in preparation for this meeting. Counsel generally informed the Board of the financial status of the District and informed the Board that any future projects that were considered improvements beyond maintenance would likely need to wait until April of the following year. Counsel then informed the Board that Papillion Sanitation had proposed a fee reduction for waste management services in exchange for payment for a full year for services in advance. Counsel informed the Board that the funds were not available at this time to pay for an entire year of services in advance and pointed out that it is very possible that the District would be annexed prior to receiving the benefit of an entire year's prepaid waste management services. Upon a discussion of the Board, the Trustees unanimously decided to decline the proposal by Papillion Sanitation for a fee reduction in exchange for a full year prepayment for services. Counsel then presented the Board with the financial representation letter, financial statements and general fund trial balance provided by Masimore Magnuson & Associates as required for an audit. Counsel informed the Board that Masimore, Magnuson & Associates had requested that the representation letter, the financial statements and the general fund trial balance be signed by either the Chairperson or the Clerk. Upon inspection of the documents, and general deliberation, Blake Grooters was authorized and instructed by the Trustees to execute the documents, as requested by Masimore, Magnuson & Associates. Then a general discussion was had by the members. A question was addressed as to the payment of Alexander Lawn& Landscape, Inc. Midge Clark informed the Board that Alexander Lawn had stated that services dating back to June had not been paid to Alexander Lawn. Counsel informed the Board that all current pay recommendations presented by TD2 had been paid to date; however, a recent payment recommendation(#23)which is dated December 12th included services performed in June of 2022. The Board reviewed the payments and pay recommendations from TD2 and generally decided that Alexander Lawn had indeed performed work in June, but the pay recommendation had not been presented to them until December 12th 2 GENERAL FUND Amount Due a.
