Presentation of JWC Finances
Golden Valley Finance Director, Lyle Hodges, reviewed the Joint Water Commission Financial
Update found in the November 6, 2024 JWC Agenda packet, as well as a summary of JWC
financial activity through August 30, 2024.
Each city currently pays a required specific amount for capital into the JWC each year. Each city
is responsible for the contract for projects within their city and pays for the project to be done,
then gets reimbursed from the JWC from the pool of funding each city contributed to.
Commissioners discussed if there is a better way to do this. It feels like the expense of each
project is double counted. Is there a way to have he JWC pay the contractors directly?
TAC Update
Xcel is requiring a wire vault under the pad that will be put under the transformer at the JWC
Golden Valley Pump House
weeks. This was ordered about a week prior to this meeting, and it will take about a month to
get it on site. Outside work will be delayed until spring.
