Hein, District Manager, told the board that a public hearing is scheduled for Monday on draft rules and regulations that tie rate provisions to different restriction levels; he said the board will hold a second hearing in April to take action and that the drafts do not change the district’s effective water rates.

\"It's not changing our actual water rates or anything about the rate structure itself,\" Hein said, describing the hearings as part of due diligence when updating the rules and regulations. Hein also said the draft rules and regulations are available on the district website and that members of the public can contact the district clerk or the chief administrative officer with questions.

Board members discussed two operational items tied to water and wastewater operations. A director said a staff member named Robert told them the golf course appears to be losing roughly 10,000 gallons per night through a leak; that figure was described in the work session as an operating estimate and not a certified metering value. Meeting participants discussed differing estimates of total loss depending on the number of nights the course is watered; one estimate cited during the session was 3,600,000 gallons, while participants also referenced other figures discussed during the session (including 2,200,000 and 60,000,000 gallons) as points of comparison.

Separately, the board asked whether a rough cost estimate exists for an emergency funding request to add ultraviolet (UV) disinfection upgrades at the wastewater plant. A board member asked for a rough estimate and was told staff would provide the cost information later; the work session record did not include a cost estimate. One participant said the wastewater item had experienced repeated equipment failures and reported that components had \"caught on fire\" during operations; that characterization appeared in discussion but was not accompanied by an incident log in the work session record.

No motions or votes were taken on the draft rules, the UV upgrade funding request, or the golf-course leak during the work session. The district plans to take public comment at the Monday hearing and to present additional cost and metering details to the board in subsequent meetings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Pueblo West Board of Directors Work Session | April 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District Manager Christian J.

The director said staff will pursue a deed correction and will need Mr. Larry Schrader to execute a deed returning the property to the district. The original sale to Mr. Schrader was described as occurring in February 2006.

Separately, the director told the board a resolution concerning an issue at 984 North Matt was not ready at the time the meeting packet was published but that a printed copy of the resolution was available for the work session.

No formal vote or further action on the deed correction or the 984 North Matt resolution was recorded during the work session. Staff indicated they will follow up with the necessary title work and with any actions required to bring the resolution forward for board consideration.","District staff said a deed recorded after a February 2006 sale mistakenly listed '03/17' instead of 'Tract 371' and that a corrective deed and a deed-back from Larry Schrader are needed; a resolution regarding 984 North Matt was printed for the board but was not available at publication time.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6076280,"Pueblo West to review $710,000 administration-building contract; 30-minute executive session set before Monday meeting",63,93000,156000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2970341-89fc292d044a0da6d9a21c5f3db8843e&start=93&end=156","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2970341-89fc292d044a0da6d9a21c5f3db8843e/thumbnail_93000.jpg","/articles/6076280/Pueblo-West/Pueblo-County/Colorado/Pueblo-West-to-review-710000-administration-building-contract-30-minute-executive-session-set-before-Monday-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6076280-97e1611f7498cef7376cfd54d1b4b4ee/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184731&Signature=l~4XjvJxYS8rKhBSnl4nbiyB07AHRfdcArOEWgL~E-PioJXYPnLO23wIu0wdlHBpbec4IJGVv3m1DCe9yllXgnQ5X9tvVMAfJXFczXWgk7sRGEJ~XIAnHh0coTONT9yIxQ6QR77tefCx3GzQvcxuG4XFPfN02DsC942eNtbCfJTx1o3DbSSMONAdEh8SmHuRUVUWdfqaWseXc7eHzqawuyCmtzzXmYicgtDShtSE2bMhChikHWskZQehTD~~1wMtQAmfFXTlNW28YXGinr1dHKkE8PY8jcBnxUF-~CL0vE0d-dVgFH0QVG7HlfxZQFzxSwIqfjylS92eSkiFMcOZGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Christian J. Hein, District Manager, told the Pueblo West Metropolitan District Board the board will consider an amended contract price of $710,000 for the district administration building and will hold a tentative 30-minute executive session ahead of the regular meeting on Monday at 4:30 p.m.

Hein said the $710,000 figure is “close to where that appraisal came back” and that the amendment and a related resolution appear in the packet that will be available to the board for review. He told members the packet received by board members differs from what was initially distributed because of a connection interruption that prevented live display of the packet during the work session.

Hein said the executive session time is intended to give the board an opportunity to discuss the matter before Monday night’s meeting. If further work is needed after the executive session, Hein said the board can table the action item; if the board is prepared, it will have the opportunity to take the item up at the meeting.

No formal motion or vote on the contract was recorded in the work session, and no legal documents were signed. The item remains on the agenda for Monday night for possible action or tabling depending on the board’s review of the amendment and any issues raised in the executive session.

The work session record indicates staff intend to correct a separate packet-display issue and to make the amendment available to board members by Monday for review.","District Manager Christian J. Hein told the board an amended administration-building contract priced at $710,000 will be reviewed and that the board will meet in a 30-minute executive session before Monday's regular meeting at 4:30 p.m.","actionData","errors"]
