Siskiyou pumps in on schedule.  

District Manager Ami Arneson reported, the Auditors asked about the board raising the Capitalization policy for infrastructure items only to $5,000.  This would save the company money in the long run.  Ami will bring back the proper verbiage for the change at the Aug 2023 meeting.  Also, we have a bid from Strahm's seal coating for $11,412.84 to reseal the parking lot.  Arneson left a message at Tri City out of Medford to submit another bid.  Chairman Fraser asked Arneson to give a copy to the Fire Dept, as they will be asked to pay for half of the seal coating bid.
