The Secretary called the roll and all ayes had been cast for approval of the motion and thereby declared the motion carried.

 

Mr. Szyska mentioned that there are 3 human cases of WNV and they are not from the District.  The District has some batches of mosquitoes testing positive for WNV but at a lower level than previous years.  This is possibly due to the regular rains.  The District has been receiving calls about the Itch Mites.  It is doubtful our spraying would have any effect on them.  The District has done some focal spraying where there have been positive batches of mosquitoes.

 

Mr. Szyska has hired a new entomologist pending a drug test and a medical exam.

 

Mr. Szyska mentioned the testing and upgrades for the underground tanks.

 

Mr. Szyska made another purchase of Altosid products.

There being no further business to come before the Board a motion was made to adjourn and it passed unanimously.
