Under the manager’s report Scott Demmin of DSW the software firm designing our web based reporting system presented some of the concepts and relationships of the data for our edification.  The program is at the point that the incorrect or garbled  data in the existing program(s) must be corrected and entered. After some discussion the Board agreed, as it had previously, to use up to the $4436.38 left in the KLA Grant (with KLA’s permission) for an intern to enter and correct data.  Mr. Demmin expressed a wish to be involved in the hiring to ensure the program is understood by the intern.  Colby Petersen also offered a computer and space for the person. Upon motion of Weber and second by Jones it was agreed the Chairman (Butchko) should proceed with the hiring within the above guidelines.

Peter Landre of Cornell Continuing Education explained that the reactivation of the LULA program will begin on April 28 at 3:00pm. Sixteen folks who attended the training programs have agreed to participate.

The chairman proposed that the discussion of the Policy and Procedures  Manual review be postponed until the May meeting including whether a legal review of the Manual is necessary.

The KWIC Manager will provide the Board with the “final” Uniform Wastewater Law for hopefully final approval at the May meeting.

Finally there are a couple of errors on the KWIC Board Roster which will be corrected by the next meeting and redistributed.

The meeting adjourned at 8:45 upon motion of Weber and second by Jones.
