MONA CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 2019 Cooper told the council the homeschooler cooperative would like to reserve the Community Center one day a week from 10-1:00 for approximately 23 students free of charge. She told the council the families have been taking turns meeting in homes but it wasn't working out because of the home environment with toys and other distractions. There was no voice vote from the council but the majority of the members were not in favor of allowing the group to meet one day a week. Councilmember Katrina Long was sympathetic to the homeschool group, telling the council and those present she was home schooled, however she felt a fee should be charged for the group. Mayor Mills told Cherise, 'If we allow you to use the building, who else would want to use it for a home school, and added, the center is not designed as a homeschool?' Councilmember Long asked what the Zumba class had charged for their use of the building. Secretary/Treasurer Michelle Dalton responded by saying they had paid an hourly rental fee.

MONA CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 2019 Councilmember Micheal Stringer said they will have two cross walks, they will be located at 100 South and 300 South. Councilmember Long inquired about the potholes located at 100 N and 300 E, asking if they had been filled. Assistant Water System Operator Jonathan Jones told the council he past his water system exam and is now a certified water system operator. Jones said a public notice that called for a change in the way water was delivered that would affect Mona City. He has been keeping track of those change order applications that affected Mona since he first joined the council. Mona city will protest this particular change, and others such as Mona Irrigation Company would be likely to protest as well. 'We will get more details, but we will be filing a protest,' said Jones Mayor Mills ended the council session by reminding the council of the upcoming County Commission Meeting on March 6, 2019 encouraging residents of Mona City to attend. This is a proposed eight plex construction that Houweling's wants to build at the tomato greenhouse site. 'We really object to that proposal,' said Mayor Mills. Mills said the planning commission was now considering changing the zone to industrial and that would benefit Mona City and successfully eliminate the proposal to build any eight plex apartments on the greenhouse property. It would definitely be to the cities benefit to have that area zoned as industrial.
