February
provided the Penrose area with some cold temperatures, some snow and lots of
wind. The high for the month was 65 degrees and the low was -9.50.
Unfortunately the snow did not provide us with the moisture needed. Ag Met
sensor only recorded .15 in. of moisture for the month.
The staff
has kept busy mowing and replacing or repairing gates. March we will begin to
clean the canals of the debris that has collected over the winter months. We
also have lines that need repaired prior to irrigation season starting.
February 25th
our annual shareholders meeting was held at the Penrose Elementary Gymnasium.
We were successful in reaching a quorum with 70% of shares represented either
by proxy or in person. Thank you to all the shareholders that made this happen.
Speakers
included; Charlotte Norman, Penrose Water District’s Board President, Greg
Langer, NRCS District Conservationist, Bob Krassa, Beaver Park Water’s Water
Right Attorney, Steve Kastner, Beaver Park Water’s Water Engineer, and John
Daniels, Fremont County’s Dept. of Transportation, Roads and Bridges
Supervisor.
Connie
Johnson, Superintendent presented the Superintendents report, Jack Tyler, Beaver Park Water’s
Board of Directors Vice President provided the Directors Report and Bart Adams,
Beaver Park Water’s Secretary/Treasurer delivered the Financial Report.
Two Board of
Director positions were on the ballot, each a three-year term. Running for
re-election were Sonny Daniels and Bart Adams. There were no nominations from
the floor, therefore a white-ballot motion was made retaining Sonny Daniels and
Bart Adams on the Board of Directors.
Irrigation
season is right around the corner, prepare your fields and put out your pipe,
April will be here soon.
Pray for
moisture, rain or snow….
