Mayor Christensen stated that he had met with Van today and after a very heartfelt discussion Van offered his resignation. The council talked about what a great job he has done over the many years of service and talked about giving Van a sign off bonus.
The council talked about what they felt would be the best for the town and if we need to look at the possibility of making Van's job a full time position. John stated that he did have Catherine give Brandi a $5.00 an hour rise for this month and to take that out of Van's pay.
The council talked about if we did go with full time what benefits the town would have to pay including insurance, retirement or overtime and also if we should pay hourly or stay with a salary. They also discussed having 2 part-time positions with one of them being seasonal or as needed. The council discussed hiring a full time person and then turning the town cabin and dog catcher jobs over to them having them do the Town Cabin, the dog catcher jobs,
A representative from the Sanpete County Youth Fair Board was at the meeting to ask the council for a donation of $150.00 for this year's Firemen's Challenge. After some discussion a motion was made by Aaron to donate the money to the Fireman's Challenge, seconded by Eric. Motion carried. Mike stated that he has a conflict of interest and abstained.
Minutes for the month of July, 2019 were presented to the council. After some discussion, a motion was made by Mike to accept the minutes, seconded by Eric. (Roll Call Vote - Aaron - yes, Mike - yes, Malynda - yes, Eric - yes, John - yes).
Bills were presented for payment for the month of August 2019. After reviewing the bills motion was made by Aaron to pay the bills, seconded by Eric, motion carried. (Roll Call vote - Mike - yes, Aaron - yes, Malynda - yes, Eric - yes, John - yes).
Catherine said that our town audit will be August 22, 2019. Please stop by if you have time.
Catherine stated that she did find the easement deed that was signed by Mark Hopkins allowing the town to run our water line through is property between Mark Hopkins and the Town and
we did give him the right to 3 residential culinary water connections but they need to be within the town limits.
Mike updated the council on the improvement projects at the cabin. He also stated that we have been having problems with the bathroom toilet and it is backing up.
Mike also talked about the park lawn. John wondered if it has a bug or something, Mike said he would check it out.
Mayor Christensen stated that he would like to send Doug Bjerregaard flowers.
Malynda talked to the council about the need to have a zoning enforcer in place now that our code is complete. She wondered if we hire a full time employee that could also be part of the job.
Malynda also talked about the raises she would like to give to the council. She would like to increase the Mayor to $300.00 a month and council to $100.00 a month but then each one of the council members would be responsible to put in 4 hours a month at $25.00 an hour serving the Town either in meeting, extra training etc. She also presented a statement she would like to go out in the town letter to let the Mayfield Residents know of the planned increase. The council felt like that would help encourage more people to run for the council.
Catherine stated that it will also need to be posted as an ordinance and will not be in effect until 30 d
