Mayor Nelson welcomed everyone to the meeting. Minutes for the Aug 10, 2021 town council meetings was presented for approval. Councilmember Goodliffe made a motion to approve the minutes for Aug 10, 2021. Councilmember Lay seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in favor of the motion. Item#1 Ordinance 2021-016 Chapter 11.02 Subdivision Procedures-Mayor Nelson stated that the planning commission recommended this ordinance to the town council to adopt. Councilmember Goodliffe asked who asked for the ordinance to be changed. Mayor Nelson stated Lacy asked for it. Mayor Nelson asked Gina to report on the issues she has been having, Gina stated that the developer and planner meet to discuss the subdivision the planner should be the one that reports to the town engineer. The planner knows what they discussed and there should be no issues. When the recorder reports to the engineer she is not in the meeting and when the engineer gets back to the developer it's not what the planner and developer discussed. There is a lot of the 'he said' going back and forth and when I call the planner he can't remember what was actually said or what they agreed on. Gina stated that the planner should see the project from start to finish and should be in contact with the town engineer and the developer. Councilmember Goodliffe stated he is uncomfortable with the way it's written. Councilmember Lay made a motion to table ordinance 2021-016. Councilmember Pace seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in favor of the motion. Item#2 Ordinance 2021-017 Chapter 11.10 Development Standards-Mayor Nelson stated that Councilmember Goodliffe helped with the language that's the only change we made to the ordinance. Councilmember Goodliffe stated that how 11.10.07 reads is the developer can either put in a secondary water system or give water shares. Councilmember Goodliffe reported that with the new language it takes away either or and you have to do both, you have to do the secondary water and give the water shares. Councilmember Goodliffe asked the council about their opinion on 11.10.140 (B) in the ordinance. Councilmember Pace stated we are still having water shares deeded over to the town, but if there is any left over water shares the town should buy more water if they are selling it, we should have first rights to buy it. Mayor Nelson stated that he doesn't know the best way to decide the commercial lots some may or may not use that much water. Councilmember Goodliffe made a motion to adopt ordinance 2021-017. Councilmember Pace seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in favor of the motion. Item#3 JD Trucks Parking lot-Paving, Mayor Nelson stated that the parking lot was supposed to be paved.

OTHER Councilmember Goodliffe stated that he sent out some emails to the council on the match grant projects he has been working on. The secondary water system grant is $859,000.00 and the town would pay up to $200,000.00 if they received it. The water line grant crossing over the Bear River is $318,000.00 and the towns share of the grant would be $18,000.00. If we don't get the grant for the water line crossing councilmember Goodliffe stated we should apply for the emergency money to do the line. Councilmember Goodliffe indicated that we would partner with the county to bring in the fiber-optic line. Beehive communication and the county got it out to Snowville. It would take about 2.1 million to get it through Elwood, Brian with BRAG is writing up the contract and Elwood could chip in $100,000.00. The last project is to bore the sewer line under the highway and would be around 1.2 million. The council thinks it's a great idea. Councilmember Pace made a motion to adjourn, Councilmember Goodliffe seconded the motion and the remaining council agreed. Meeting was adjourned at 8.50 p.m. The undersigned duly acting and appointed clerk for Elwood Town Corporation hereby certifies that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the minutes of the Town Council meeting held on the 14th day of September 2021.
