Swear In Youth City Council/Karen Lovell. Karen swore-in the following into Youth City Council Offices: Haleigh Anderson as Mayor, Lafe Finlinson as Mayor Pro-tempore, and Mckinley Finlinson as Secretary. E. Discuss and Adopt Resolution 2019-01 the REVISED CONSOLIDATE FEE SCHEDULE. Dave passed out copies of the old Resolution and the Revised Resolution. The Council discussed it. The Schedule includes a new garbage collection fee for businesses. There are still a few businesses in Oak City. If any of them have a big problem with the fee, they can talk to the County. Not a lot of other changes were made except for the proposed changes for the Town Hall rental. Discussed the fact that the Revised Resolution does not include a deposit. The Mayor and Warren both felt the deposit wasn't a bad idea but returning a deposit would be a hassle. Decided to go without the deposit at this time. Left in the statement that there will be no overnight camping or sleeping in the Hall without permission. After the discussion, the Council felt there were enough changes to merit holding off on the adoption of this Resolution so this will be tabled until the May Town Board Meeting. Will also place the 2019-2020 budget on the agenda for discussion. DeAnn Steele, Town Treasurer, had given copies of the budget worksheets to Dave and he passed these out. F. Discuss and Adopt Resolution 2019-02 a RESOLUTION ADOPTING SMALL CELL INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN STANDARDS. Dave handed out copies of this Resolution. He explained the reasoning behind it. Utah Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) is suggesting the Town adopt the Resolution and they have come up with the Standards. The Resolution adopts the Document that UAMPS drew up. If and when the Town comes up with a policy manual for the Power Department, Dave would have this be part of that. It can be changed if the Town wants to make any changes at some point. Dave moved, seconded by Craig, to adopt Resolution 2019-02. Roll Call Vote: Mayor Christensen-Aye. Dave-Aye. Warren-Aye. Craig-Aye. G. Public Comment. Lynn Banks wondered if anything can be done about the deer population in Town. The Mayor stated that the Town needs to contact the Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) and they have to give permission for herd reduction and they usually come in and do the job. The DWR was in Town tonight, probably due to a deer that was injured. Lynn was wondering if the Town could get permission to go into the Jacobson lot and set up traps for the deer. If things get too bad, the Mayor stated that the Council might need to pen a letter of complaint and send it in. H. Financial Report. The Financial Report was Read and Approved by Board Action. The delinquent account list is longer but the total amount is lower. Warren felt that the Council should consider changing the length of time a party can be delinquent before the cut-off goes into effect. The current policy is allowing the party to be delinquent by almost three months before cut off. The Council felt like a 15 day grace period before cut off would be good. This will be considered. I. Departmental Reports. Warren Rogers. The headstone situation discussed at last month's meeting hasn't been resolved yet. The Mayor suggested coming up with a plan to get a bunch of the water meters fixed and when water meters are replaced, the Mayor would like to see if the Town could afford to replace them with electronically-read meters. He wondered if there was any new information on electronic meters. Nathan said there is a guy that will come talk to the Council about this. The Council would like to have him come so Nathan will contact the guy and set up a time for him to come. Dave wondered if there was a way to get something that would read both the water and power meters. The Mayor would like to come up with a plan to have all water meters changed out within seven years or something similar. The Mayor will get a list of water meters needing replacement or repair to Nathan. Nathan will plan to do so many meters every month; however many he and Tom Nielson can do. The Mayor suggested hiring another youth employee this summer who can help with some of the meters and other projects. The Mayor reported that the Oak City First Ward will be coming up to clean the Cemetery. He also wondered which Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Ward was to be in charge of putting in the Veteran Flags at the Cemetery for Memorial Day. It was decided it would be best to just have youth from both wards put up the flags. It would be good if Warren would print up a new Cemetery Plot Map showing Veterans grave sites to make it easier to place the flags. The Mayor also asked Warren to be thinking about planning the Memorial Day Program. Craig Dutson. Will start mowing streets next week. Will be going to a Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) meeting next week. Will ask them about the street light grant. The Mayor mentioned that the Council needs to make sure to put together a plan and apply for the grant this year. Still working on getting the driver-feedback signs. Dave Steele. Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) offered their sponsorship for Oak City days again for $500. The Town has been getting lots of emails and phone calls about the carbon free power project, from organizations and groups. Most are against it. Basically, Dave suggests ignoring most of these. If anyone gets anything, they can pass it on to Dave. There is no time table on the Project at this point. There will be opportunities to get out or to continue on as things go along. The current site planned for the Project was not seismically sound so they have moved the site. Last month Karen let Dave know that there was a problem with the computer in the Town Hall Office. Dave updated the computer but some of the programs were messed up and it lost Word Perfect. Dave is working on getting it all updated. Have one power costumer that put solar on their home and didn't co-ordinate this with the Town. This has messed up the power billing for this home. This is being worked on. Dave told the party that the Town doesn't have a specific solar policy yet but the installation should not have been done without, at least, having the input of the building inspector. Dave stated that DeAnn would like the Council to look at the budget works sheets for next month. Debating whether he will attend the UAMPS workshop next month. DeAnn got a GRAMA request for records asking if the Town has had any cases of harassment. KSL is doing an investigation on this. DeAnn responded back that there were no such cases. Dave wondered if anyone has been contacted to co-chair Oak City Days. The Mayor asked April Finlinson and she accepted. She is looking for a co-chair. Monica Niles. Monica was not in attendance and had left no report. J. Miscellaneous. Mayor Christensen. Attended a Mayor's meeting with the County Commission. Mostly, they want to make sure the Town's have Ordinance and Resolutions in place, that are sound. They talked a lot about different things that could come into communities and how to handle the loss of man power if the Intermountain Power Plant (IPP) shuts down. Other ventures are coming in to play that will open up jobs. They talked about the power line that is coming through but this won't provide a lot of jobs. The Town received an official letter accepting the Town as a Tree USA City and a flag, sign, and plaque. Need to get a tree committee set up. Karen Lovell. Does the Council want to hold a lunch again this year for the 24th of July, as Karen and Marva Jean Anderson are willing to be in charge of it again if so desired. The lunch cost the Town about $300 last year. The Council authorized Karen and Marva to hold this event again this year. Warren Rogers. How are things going with the animal control issue? Nathan has tried the live traps several times but haven't had much success yet. Dave said DeAnn has registered 10 dogs. Need to continue enforcing the Ordinance and keeping things under control. K. Adjournment. Warren moved, seconded by Craig, to adjourn. Roll Call Vote: Mayor Christensen-Aye. Dave-Aye. Warren-Aye. Craig-Aye. The meeting adjourned at 9:57 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, __________________________________ Karen K.
