Website update: Phasing out sending emails by the next meeting. We are also still working out small issues with the website as they arise and appreciate everyone’s patience.
Water Treatment Update: Mailed water sample has been sent in and received. Results are not back yet, but will be sent to Better Water Alaska so we can get a quote for a new/continued system. John J was not able to get in touch with 907 Water (installed our current partial system). Better Water Alaska will try to use as much of the equipment that we currently have to help us cut costs as much as possible.
Installing gas-lines and required venting update: We have a bid from Klebs for installing new customer supplied vent microwave combo, new venting, new wall cap, new customer supply kitchen faucet, new ½ inch gas line to oven range, new port to gas flex,new strut and strut clamp and to inspect gas line for leaks. $3968.03 for bid. Microwave/hood vent combo $255.23. We would plan to donate the two current microwaves that we have. Stephen asked about the propane line install and if it would go outside and if we need to have a tank installed. We will receive quotes for the propane package and then send everything to the community for a vote.
Kendra gave an update about the MSB Fish and Wildlife Commission and Alaska Board of Fisheries. Please refer to https://matsugov.us/boards/fishcommission or the “It Takes Fish to Make Fish” booklet for a full breakdown of information.
