2. January
21, 2016 Minutes:
Motion
to adopt minutes by Jean Ede, seconded Billie Locke. Carried.
3.1
Sump pump/back flow preventer:
·
Jason explained that the basement flood was caused by rain from
the roof. A backflow preventer would not have worked and a sump pump would not
have worked either. There was excessive water and a plugged drain. A blockage
was cleared but a scope can’t go all the way because of a bend in the road.
The road may need to be dug up.
