3. NEW BUSINESS
A. Possible motion to award water improvement bids
Mayor Woolstenhulme explained the City had received 2 bids to re-route the water lines coming out of the Humbug Well. Currently the water goes to the Oakley Artesian bottling plant first. In order to be in compliance with the State water requirements a new line needs to come from the Humbug Well to Oakley's tank. A separate line will then be installed to deliver water to the bottling plant. There were 2 bids received for the project. MC Construction bid the project at $206,162.00 and England Constructions bid was $281,605.00. Aqua Engineering certified both bids were equal to the work being done. Most of the construction can be done without shutting down the well.
There was a discussion about how much of the bond money had been used. After this work is completed the City will have spent around $446,000.00 of the bond money. Councilor Wilmoth asked what further work needed to be done to be in compliance with the State. Chad stated that the 500 gallon tank needed to be resurfaced at a cost of approximately $30,000.00. The fencing around the cottonwood spring needs to be completed. He and Dallas should be able to complete the fencing.
Councilor Hoggan made a motion to award the water improvement bid to MC Construction Company. Councilor Rydalch seconded the motion, all voted in favor
B. Ute Football - Mike Osguthorpe
Camille Osguthorpe was at the meeting representing the Ute football. They would like to use the fields again this year for practice and to hold some of their games. They will start practicing July 29. 2019 and end November 2, 2019. They practice Monday thru Friday 3 to 8 pm with games being held on Saturday. Games start August 17, 2019, the conference usually hold 5 games up here. They use the 2 fields on the east of the complex and occasionally a third field is needed. If any teams make it to the playoff they would need the lights turned on for those practices. They will pay the fee to have them turned on. The Council agreed to let the Ute football teams use the fields.
C. Oakley Artesian Water Company
No one was able to attend the meeting. Councilor Frazier said that in reviewing the contract with the water company it stated that they would pay a $10,000.00 annual water reservation fee. He isn't sure they have been keeping up with that. David Church has the contract and hopefully the City will have some answers when he reviews it.
D. Travis LeFay - Snow removal in North Bench Farms
Travis stated he has a foot of snow in his driveway that 80% of the neighbors don't have. He knows it's possible to not leave as much snow in his driveway. He thinks if the snowplow operator would just turn his blade to the left it would solve the problem.
The Mayor explained that the problem is everywhere. When State or County drivers push snow it ends up in everyone's driveway as well. There is nowhere to put the snow in the subdivision and they understand the issues, but there just isn't anything they can do.
E. KC Anderson -
KC will attend the Council meeting on the 25th of February.
F. Possible motion to change Council meeting night
There was a discussion about changing the nights City Council meetings are held. They Mayor asked everyone to think about what night would be best and they would discuss it at another meeting.
4. REGULAR BUSINESS
Councilor Frazier said Derek Radke from the County was in contact with him regarding any road work the City might need this year. A slurry seal needs to be done on Millrace and also on New Lane. North Bench road needs to be a priority this year because the patches done last year are coming out. Councilor Frazier will see if there is more grant money available.
