   ® motion (00-11-21a): Ralph made a motion to approve the minutes for the 10/24/00 SAWSC regular meeting.  John seconded the motion.  The Board approved the motion.

   ® motion (00-11-21b): Cornelius made a motion to pay the current outstanding invoices for the SAWSC.  These included an RLK Kuusisto invoice for $4,918.75 (98472S #20), and one from Murray County as reimbursement for a public meeting advertisement in the Murray County Wheel Herald.  John seconded the motion. The Board approved the motion. The Board next discussed the Cities of Garvin and Currie regarding the sewer project.  Garvin has state and federal funds already secured and must make a decision whether or not to proceed by the Summer of 2001- or risk forfeiting the funds.  The SAWSC is hoping that funds are in place by then for the SAWSC and the City of Currie.  Tom explained that the City of Garvin Council would greatly prefer to stay aligned with the SAWSC project instead of any independent effort. Jack mentioned that he is still negotiating with Art Ullrich for the property for the lagoons.  Tom shared the Letter of Intent prepared by Dan McDonald for the SAWSC.  A different letter from the MPCA stated that the EAW for the SAWSC project is OK. The Board discussed the need for an article in the LSAIA Newsletter explaining the need to be pumping septic tanks through the manhole and not the little inspection pipes!  Another article on fire pits, ash, and leaves was discussed.     Tom shared a table listing the meetings attended by the SAWSC members and the applicable per diems and mileage (attached).     ® motion (00-11-21c): John made a motion to pay the SAWSC Board the per diems and mileage listed in the table prepared for the Board (table attached).  Ralph seconded the motion.  The Board approved the motion. 

All members present agreed that the next SAWSC meeting would be held in January of 2001 (unless a December 2000 meeting is warranted) in the Murray Co. Gov. Building Slayton, MN.
