Inquiries regarding the ongoing construction

 

There have been some recent inquiries regarding the ongoing construction in Oak Creek Parkway.  This communication is intended to provide clarification and information regarding the activity.

The installation is being done as a part of White River Connect fiber build out.  This is an initiative by White River Valley Electric Cooperative to install fiber optic cable across its service area to provide high-speed internet.  The Cooperative through its subsidiary has embarked on a five-year build out project.  They are in year two of the project.

This is not an Oak Creek Parkway project.   The project is fully managed by White River Connect, a White River Valley Cooperative subsidiary.  The fiber cables are being installed in the public right-of-way and dedicated easements. 

While we are not privy to the project schedule it has been shared that the sequence is as follows;

1.       Excavation and installation of the conduits  (currently being installed)

2.       Installation of the fiber cables in the conduit system

3.       Installation of drops to individual residences.

This process will take several weeks to complete.  The current installation of the conduits is the most visible and disruptive.  Once the conduits and boxes are installed the contractor will clean up the excavations and seed/straw the disrupted right-of-way.  They are still a few weeks away from the current excavating phase completion.

We are extremely fortunate to be among the areas addressed earlier in the project as there are areas that are still a couple of years away from seeing activity.

If you are interested in connecting to the Cooperative fiber, I encourage you to go to the website at this web address  www.whiteriverconnect.com   to fill out the information expressing your interest.  This is not a commitment, but rather an indication of interest.  This will also enroll you in a database that will provide periodic updates of project progress from the Cooperative.

If you have questions or issues with the fiber project here are some phone numbers to White River Connect. 

855-304-5393

417-318-2628

I encourage patience through this process as in the end we will have access to high-speed internet and will presumably be a huge economic boost to the community and region.  This is a large undertaking for the member owned Cooperative that is not without some bumps along the way.

Be safe and make it a great day;

Oak Creek Parkway POA.

Budget Report

Report was given by Rebecca Moody.  Noted that $10,000 was budgeted for payment to rebuild the walkway at sewer plant.  Resealing roads needs to be done within two years.   There was a “scenario” sheet presented by Rebecca with different options to pay for the sealing of roads. It was decided not to touch bank account.  Further discussion was tabled until next meeting with the new board in place.

Standing Reports:

PAST DUE FEES:  Rebecca reported three properties continue to be passed due.

WATER/SEWER:  Mike Brandsma reported currently all going well.  It was communicated the walkway and ramps would be soon repaired.  Cost of that repair for galvanized steel estimated to be $9,500.00.  Brandsma communicated that Blevins came in with the best proposal of three phone bids.  Further discussion led to a motion from Rebecca Moody.  Any bid equal to or over $5,000.00 for work, the POA board will get a minimum of two written bids with the exception of emergencies (water and sewer).  These bids will be documented and presented in the next general meeting.  It was communicated that the POA Board will still do contracts per covenants.  Second by Chris Hedenberg, motion carried.
