  8. Trid owned lot info-discussion on number of lots owned by Trid vs titles in safe deposit box. Jim has flash drive with properties listed, named under Twin Peaks not TRID. Titles should be in the correct name.

Action: Kym to review flash drive and paperwork and after review will contact Porter, Simon, Graham about renaming titles into TRID name.

  1. Washoe Well pump problem-Steve’s Well could not get their rig on the lot, they are proposing a road around pumphouse to get rig in there. Rick called Carson Pump and they said they could look at it also after the first of the year. Main pump works fine, this is the backup pump that needs repairs. Rick to continue working on.
  1. NEW BUSINESS:
  2. New payment methods-Libby presented info from a company referred by SDRMA that would process credit cards and check payments for TRID. This company AllPaid would handle the entire transaction included collecting service fee from customer so TRID does not have to absorb the fee. Bank of the West proposal for same service where TRID would pay the fee would run $200-$300 a month. It would be nice to give our customers payment options as currently we only have one. This service could start in January through AllPaid.

Motion: It was motioned to accept proposal from AllPaid for payment options, all in favor.

  1. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT:
  2. Libby has drafted a newsletter to go with the next invoice on 1/1/21. So many transfers of property going on in the neighborhood than ever before.

  2. Willi stated all the equipment is running well and he has plowed a few times.
  1. Libby reported on GPS and its challenges with signal reception problems. A trial Verizon unit has been added to the loader to see if it gets any better reception than AT&T. Libby also talked to our CAT rep about Satellite reception which would be more reliable but it only updates every 4 hours so not an option. The program is taking a lot of Libby’s time to run, taking away from her water duties. Cost to date is $3114, two independent contractors use it. Will compare the two units for a few months and see how well the system operates.
