John Corkery, Trustee participated via phone. Citizens Present: Saina Carey Regular Monthly Meeting Agenda Citizens to Be Heard: ( 3-minute late signup session) Saina Carey suggested changing the meeting schedule to make sure it is more convenient for Ryan Bell, water operator to be in attendance and have input. It was explained that our meeting schedule has to be published a year in advance. Usually when Ryan is not able to be in attendance is because of an emergency with Moab City. The other item she brought up was again finding junk on her property. Les suggested putting up fences and signs and Bill added putting up cameras. Citizens to be Heard: ( signed up for 15-minute session) NONE New Business: Discussion and Action Items: Approve March 11, 2026 monthly meeting minutes Motion: Bill Winfield Second: John Corkery Vote: 5-0 in favor Confirm or Change Wednesday, May 13, 2026 monthly meeting date No Change DWSF Planning Grant with Jones & DeMille -Update -Site Visit Date Site visit with the BLM, Parker & Jenna of Jones & DeMille is scheduled for Friday, April 24, 2026 at 10:30 p.m. We will meet at the Old School House. Expenditures for the remaining balance of the DWSF Planning Grant must be submitted by May 6. Potentially we can apply with DWSF for additional funding in August and with the CIB. The on-site visit will help us know what direction New CIB Planning Grants -Redevelopment of Old Spring Site -Storage Tank Shelly started the discussion. Bill sent me information for the CIB grant process and I have contacted Todd Thorne, Regional Planner with the Southeastern Regional Development Agency. For Planning Grants there is a 50% match and it has to be in cash, no in-kind match. We do have the amount in our General Fund of $20,000 that we transferred from last year's overage of budgeted revenues. Bill brought up a good point- spring redevelopment or storage tank. We need to prioritize and then let Dana know so that we can get on the Grand County CIB list. Timing and amount is crucial. Suggested that we get on the list and then John Corkery has some grant writing done from when they were going to do the spring redevelopment and then we can change the verbiage as needed. ServLine Leak Protection Plan Shelly read the letter the district received about this. The board asked her to find more information about it and the cost. Old Business: Reports and Updates: Chairman Updates and Report: Les Thayn The meter installations Ryan has been working on have all been made. Contract labor to help him has been paid and submitted to our CIB grant. The big install upon the corner is done. The water was off longer than anticipated and they were up till 1 o'clock in the morning. There is one more meter to be moved for the UDOT Maintenance Shed off of private property. Helen Davis line to be moved is next on the work list. Grand County Commission Update: Bill Winfield The Steens want to rezone a piece of property above the MiVida and there is controversy over it. The County is working on a Shuttle System since the timed-entry at Arches ended with the County, Park Service, and the State. Also they are looking at the possibility of the Bike Path coming into Arches from the Raptor State Park. There is a celebration April 9th with DOE for the Umtra site and pipeline at 9 am at the Grand Center to celebrate the removal of 16 million tons. Bill updated us on the CIB process that is taking place.
