PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION/SHANNON ROBERTSON Shannon was here to give the planning and zoning report. She said everyone but Marjie and Rhett were present. Bronson Oyler was on the agenda but called and had to cancel prior to the meeting. They approved last month's meeting minutes. Steve had done a little research concerning the kill site and holding pen that the Oyler's want to put on main street for their business and it does require 1/2 acre and 50 feet from streets. Also, that the kill site must be separated from the holding pen. There was some discussion about that then moved on. The commission corrected the subdivision ordinance and worked on the emergency plan. Steve has been looking at other small-town plans as well as on the church website for resources in establishing one for Bicknell Town. There is some concern how the town is going to be divided and conflict with the already in place emergency plan that the Thurber Ward has. They suggested maybe doing something with the ward but that does not include non-members so that wouldn't work very well. Also, there was discussion about this confusing the town members on who to go to, church or town, would two emergency plans for one town work? Kerry Stevens said the church one is not going to include everyone in town so he thinks the town must have one as well because it will include both members and non-members. Shannon said they are thinking of having a block chairman who would be in charge of everyone on the block or maybe a bigger area. Kerry thinks the best way would be a reverse 911, Kelsey suggested the counties code red program. It is a good way to get information out to everyone. The problem is not everyone has signed up for those alerts. Shannon said the commission will continue working on the emergency plan. Their next meeting is set for January 4th, 2022. V. PARAMETER RESOLUTION Mayor Johnson read the entire resolution while the council members followed along. She asked if anyone had any questions.

MAYOR Mayor Johnson had gone and received the beautification award that Bicknell Town was nominated for. It is a traveling trophy that we will keep for a year and a plaque. Both will be at the town hall on display. Mayor Johnson read a thank you card from Connie thanking everyone for the retirement present, cake and kind words. There is a question on Brinkerhoff Spring land. Noreen was under the impression the town had purchased that property but after talking with Colleen at the courthouse it in fact has not ever been purchased. Originally Duane Brinkerhoff owed the ground and Debbie Brinkerhoff had notarized a letter explaining they wouldn't contaminate the water source. Duane had sold the water rights and an easement to the town. Since then Duane has sold the ground to David Brinkerhoff so the pump house is on David Brinkerhoff's property, but the town does own the water rights. There was some discussion about what the town needed to do if anything. The mayor will talk more about it with David and let the council know if anything needs to be done. Mayor Johnson had met with David Brinkerhoff about the site for the new well; he wanted $30,000.00 and 2 out of town water hookups for the land. Kelly is worried there isn't going to be enough in the budget to pay that for the land. Kelly got new maps and is looking into other options. Scott suggested meeting with David and some of the council members to see what's available and maybe for less money. Kelly also said they could go west onto BLM land would be an option. COUNCIL MEMBERS This was Jim's last meeting, so he thanked everyone and was very appreciative of their service and hopes to come back soon. Everyone thanked Jim for his service to the Town. WATER & MAINTENANCE Scott reported the water sample for the month was good. The mountain springs are producing 33 gallons a minute. The tank is down 1 foot. Brinkerhoff springs pumped 275,000 gallons last month. Scott was about out of chlorine, so he ordered some. He got the Christmas tree and lights up around town. He also had the burial of John Ellett. Scott will work on the meters that are not working and the new ones that need to be put in. CLERICAL Carrie reminded everyone to come out on Saturday to the Christmas tree decorating party at 4:30 for hot chocolate and a cookie. She also said there is a training for town council members on January 8th if anyone is interested. Mayor Johnson was wondering why it would not be broadcasted in Bicknell at the USU Extension office and she would call and see if they could get it there. There is a program with six county that you send your ordinances out to be revised and updated. Everyone agreed that is something we would like to do. She will get more information about it and work towards it. She also will call South Central to discuss the internet the town was providing for Connie at her house. FINANCIAL A list of bills was presented to the council for payment approval. Kerry made a motion to pay the bills, Jim second, all ayed. ADJOURNMENT Weston made the motion to adjourn at 8:40 PM. Jim second, all ayed.
