Mills opened the Public Hearing for the approval or denial of the BCR Barnes Bullet Annexation at 7:30 p.m., asking for comments from the public body. Mona City resident Mike McDonald had a few concerns in reference to the annexation. Mr. McDonald's main concerns were the water, sewage, pollution and zoning regulations asking if BCR's plan is to subdivide the annexed area. Mayor Mills told him at the present time it is his understanding there are no plans to build any subdivisions; however BCR did talk about a possible business expansion in order to do that the city will have to rezone the area. McDonalds's also questioned, if they will have access to city water and if it will meet their needs without jeopardizing the citizens of Mona City. Mayor Mills told him Barnes Bullets have water shares to add to the city and the sewage from the business would discharge into the city sewer system and the system will be able to handle that. Mills added, 'There will be no pollution, the state came and determined that there will be none, the state will control that.' Water Facilitator Jonathan Jones questioned, if there will be enough water pressure at their elevation for the fire hydrants. Mayor Mills asked him to check with Barnes and make sure the pressure will be there. MONA CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 12, 2019 There were no additional public comments or questions, Mayor Mills then closed the hearing at 7:45 p.m. and asked the council for a motion to approve the BCR Barnes Bullets Annexation by Ordinance #2019-1.

DELEGATIONS: Jonathan Jones Water Facilitator presented an update on the water system, telling the council things are going well. He said they are still working on proposals for the well. Jones said Mona City was mandated by the state to chlorinate the city's water, stating there was too much coliform in the water. Jones said coliform is bacteria that is present in nature and occurs in all human and animal waste. Coliform in water indicates a possible presence of harmful, disease-causing organisms such as e-coil. Mayor Bill Mills said he has received complaints about the smell and taste of the water. Jones than gave tips on how to evaporate the chlorine in the water. Jonathan presented a list of mitigation strategies he will submit to Six County AOG. The city has two more warning sirens, said Jones, in addition to the one the city has mounted, he suggested mounting one on the big pole in the park. Mayor Mills didn't think that would be a safe choice.
