OLD BUSINESS:
       Storey reported that Rural Water District #1 had made a decision regarding the installation of the regulation fire hydrants.  Rural Water agreed to install one hydrant at Brockus Corner, but had declined the proposal to install a hydrant at the mobile home park West of Mud Creek on SH-3.  Rural Water stated that there were valves in that particular location that would make installing a hydrant extremely difficult.  The fire department will be required to pay for all materials to install the hydrant.  The estimated cost of installation is approximately $1,200 apiece.  Members agreed to table the matter until sufficient funding can be acquired.
 
NEW BUSINESS:
       Members agreed to hold the July and August meetings at the Senior Citizens Building in Haworth.
 
ADJOURN:
       Owens moved to adjourn.  Coffman seconded.  All members in favor.  Meeting adjourned at 7:29 p.m.
