11. Continuum of Care update. Had a joint meeting on the 26th of June and the resolution to go before the board was further discussed. Carlson asked that the resolution be split regarding location and was decided that the resolution will stand as written. Letter from the Horty Elving architect was discussed. Next meeting will be on the 24th of July but will not be joint with this board. General discussion followed regarding possible sewer/electricity costs at the two locations. Sludge management is going to be problematic in the future. DNR has been giving private sewer facilities more scrutiny lately, so more costs can be expected in the future. Laws change frequently regarding sewer maintenance. Higgins expressed concern that with other living facilities on the site in the future, it might be fiscally irresponsible to build on this location with the possibility of sewer/water system failures.
