Please execute the ballot enclosed and return it to the office. The directors are providing you with the enclosed proxy and voting ballot to fill out and send back to the Association in lieu of your attendance at the annual meeting. The items to be voted on at the annual meeting include electing directors for three-year terms, the levying of assessments and any other business that may properly come before the membership. The board currently consists of seven directors, Mike Hungenberg (President), Lynn Fagerberg (Vice-president), Frank Eckhardt, Keith Amen, Chuck Winter, Bruce Johnson and Ethan Cozzens (Secretary). The directors whose terms expire this year are Mike Hungenberg and Keith Amen. These two persons are on the enclosed ballot. No other nominations have been made for director. The well pumping fees for 2024 are recommended by the directors to meet the budget needs of the company. The directors are recommending the well assessments be $3.00 per acre-foot of pumping. This is the same assessment rate as in 2023. If you would prefer to attend the annual meeting rather than fill out the enclosed proxy and ballot, or if you have questions or comments about the Association, the items of business, the proxy or the annual meeting, please contact Ethan Cozzens, Secretary of the Association, at the number above for further details and so that we can obtain a head count of those who plan to attend in person.
