Holly Hills board approves $82,200 manhole repairs, ratifies counsel transfer and directs sewer-education billing insert
Summary
At its July 17 meeting the Holly Hills Water and Sanitation District Board approved a $82,200 manhole repair contract with Lucky Dog Contracting, ratified a file transfer and continued representation by Attorney Timothy J. Flynn, directed a public-education insert for the next billing cycle and accepted unaudited financial statements.
The Holly Hills Water and Sanitation District Board of Directors voted unanimously July 17 to approve an $82,200 contract with Lucky Dog Contracting, Inc. for 2024 sewer manhole repairs and to authorize counsel to incorporate and execute the contract.
District manager A.J. Beckman and operations representative Ismael Gomez reviewed operational matters, noting the most recent billing cycle did not include guidance on items customers should avoid flushing into the sewer system. Kate Innes of Public Alliance presented a graphic showing a typical sewer connection. The board directed Public Alliance to prepare educational material for inclusion in the next billing cycle and to post the content on the district website.
Attorney Timothy J. Flynn informed the board he was transferring his practice to Ireland Stapleton Pryor & Pascoe, PC and requested authorization to transfer district files and continue representation at his new firm. The board ratified the transfer of paper and electronic files to Mr. Flynn’s new firm and authorized his continued representation.
On financial business, accountant Mike Bakarich reviewed accounts payable and the unaudited financial statements. The board approved payment of $17,322.02 for the period ending July 17, 2024 and accepted the unaudited financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2024. The board also approved a Request for Extension of Time to File the 2023 audit.
Engineer Will Raatz presented the Lucky Dog proposal, and Director Thomas Thomasson moved approval of the repair contract; Director Linda Rhea seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Routine administrative items — including earlier approval of the meeting agenda and the minutes of the June 19, 2024 meeting — were likewise approved by unanimous vote.
Attorney Flynn noted he had no new information yet on Denver Water’s proposed 2025 rates but expects rate finalization soon. He also updated the board that House Bill 24-1344 had passed; no additional board action on the legislation was recorded in the minutes.
The meeting, held by Zoom and telephone conference, adjourned after the Board completed the scheduled business. The contract award includes authorization for legal counsel to finalize a contract that the Board President or another board member may execute. The board did not schedule further action on Denver Water rates at this meeting.
