Jacksons got the entire oil base down in the potholes. The road was fixed by the tater hole. The Moosman house is winterized. South Central said they are not going to fix the road by Tulin's because it was a rough road to begin with and they did the best they could to repair. The repair may fall on the town. It was suggested that Mike Savage should come and meet with the town council and review the repair work that needs to be done. Dustin should get in touch with him and set up a time when he could meet with the council. We now have a security camera installed and it works. The guardrail is up. Water Permit.

South Central Previously discussed. Torrey Canal. Bronson talked to Phillip Pace to see if the canal company has any obligation to helping with repairs on the culvert. Phillip said no, we have no money. Pat asked Bronson to follow up and see if he could find something that would give the town something where they could legally ask the canal company to help with the repairs. Bronson said he would follow up and do some research. Resolution Fee List. The dog late fee and the Farmers Market fee were removed. The town policy is to licensed dogs as a means to identify the dogs in case the dog is lost, hurt or has hurt someone else.

After discussion the council made the: Motion: to remove one light and change out the two others. Made by Doug Robinson Seconded by Pat Kearney All were in favor and motion passes. . Southey Swede: Southey had concerns about his water bill, and why it doubled. He asked if the town intentionally did that. Mayor Pro Temp Pat explained that the state said we needed to raise our rates so we would be compatible with the state, and with the tier change, the water rates changed. The council did not knowingly know his bill would double, but based on the amount of water used and the tier change, his water bill would go up. Other people's bill went up also. The council will continue to monitor the new rates, take under consideration any concerns. Carrie Torrey. Carrie presented to the council and the audience the reasons the Torrey Post office may be closed. The contract is up for renewal and they will be asking for a raise in the contract fees. Carrie also explained some of the consequences of closing the post office here. She also said some of the Fed Ex and UPS services would be cut. She also said she would get a template of a letter that townspeople could write and send to the appropriate post office personnel. A member of the audience asks how we could fight to keep the post office. Carrie said letters could be written and sent to the necessary people. Barry an audience member, said letters should be sent to Chris Stewart, our representative, constituent services. Barry would be more than happy to find out who in his office handles this kind of correspondence, and then have everyone in town prepare letters to send to him. Individual letters should be sent to the constituents services. Torrey Town will come on board and support the cause. It is important to know that TU Enterprises are the one negotiating to renew the contract. A sample letter could be prepared for the people to submit to help retain the post office. Mayor Business Rentals already discussed Town has had several inquiries on the sale of the house. Water usage: Motion: No further expansion on our existing water system, for out of town commercial business until more water becomes available.
