This information will be put on the 30 April 2020 water bill. Rental of the town park will have to be put off until restrictions from the state are removed for group gatherings. Mayor Johnson has still not heard from USDA about the grant money for the water system. With the economic turmoil the coronavirus is setting in motion, she doubts that money will ever be available. However, she wanted to know if the council still wanted Kelly Chappell to file on the mountain springs: Cold Spring and Saddle Pass. If they are filed on, work would have to be done on them within seven years. The council all agreed they should be filed on. Mayor Johnson encouraged the council to be thinking of what items may be needed to be put on the budget next year. A preliminary budget will be discussed in the meeting in May. A few possibilities are: work on the roads, an irrigation motor, the line from the irrigation pond to the pump house, and an open shed for the generator. Mayor Johnson reported she had talked with the Wayne School Superintendent, Ned Taylor, and Tyler Newton and encouraged them to push for a bus pick up/drop off on the south side of the Middle School building. She told them the town does not agree with installing 4-way stop signs on the corners there. Adus Dorcey requested a list of the business's in town for economic purposes.
