Resolution 2020-5, amending the 2020 budget, was approved. The board approved the purchase and installation of a mail slot using grant money and a lawnmower trailer. Reports covered emergency management (including a new "No Diving" sign), road work, zoning permits, and park updates.

The meeting covered several key topics, including the administrator's financial report, an audit update that resulted in resolutions to un-restrict funds and restrict a certain amount in a CD, and discussion of outstanding NMRCA fees for The Timbers development. A revised developer's agreement was tabled until the January meeting. The board also addressed non-routine service requests regarding sewer vent pipes, approved a new service contract with MSA, and approved an upgrade to the GIS system. The 2019 budget and member fees were discussed, and a decision was made to maintain current fee levels. Finally, the board addressed the wording of a customer letter to clarify the sanitary district's coverage area.

The meeting included discussion and approval of a District Developers Agreement, with a board member recusing themselves due to a financial interest. The agreement's details were reviewed and clarified, addressing payment timelines and potential issues with unsold lots. Budget adjustments were also discussed, focusing on cleaning up accounts receivable and approving salary increases for employees.

The Planning Commission meeting included approval of the October 12, 2022 meeting minutes, the preliminary and final plats for the Eighth Addition to Stone Gate Lake, and a camping permit application. Discussion and approval were given to the inclusion of retaining walls in the zoning ordinance, specifically amending the definition of structures to include retaining walls. An updated fee schedule was also discussed and approved, with changes to copying and open records fees, deck fees, special dwelling permits, PUD revisions, and brush dump fees. Further discussion on ordinance-related fees was postponed to a future meeting.

The meeting focused on a petition to include additional lands within the sanitary district boundaries. A motion was made and carried to approve the addition of parcel #290120861.3, known as W5192 38th Street, to the district boundaries. This was necessary because, despite prior work done under the assumption the parcel was already included, official documentation was missing from county records.
