Due to health concerns and restrictions it will not be possible to hold the annual shareholders meeting this February. An in-person meeting place is not available and a virtual meeting with over one hundred shareholders is not logistically practical.
There will be a KGIC Directors and Officers Meeting on February 20, 2021, either in-person or virtually, to discuss company business. The Directors are required to vote on the 2022 assessment and intend to make no changes to the current assessment. The Directors & Officers will also assess company finances and improvement projects. The Ag, Ditch Co. raised their assessment by $2/inch (KGIC owns 134 inches), but we should be able to handle this increase for the year.
One project in the planning stages is to make improvements on Lateral 2 from the 1/2 division box at 9660 W. 22nd Pl. The pipe section running northeast has been in dire need of repair and required many hours of volunteer maintenance. The company is looking to re-route that section to shareholders' properties on Hoyt St., using pvc pipe and constructing a new division box; as well as, some other improvements to that section.
The company is also considering re-constructing the main division box, but will have assess the financial cost.
