PRAYER: Jed Bartholomew
1) REVIEW MINUTES: Bryan Made the Motion to accept the Minutes for February. John seconded the Motion. The Motion was passed. The Minutes were accepted.
2) REVIEW EXPENDITURES: Kelly Sue Made the Motion to accept the Expenditures. Bryan seconded the Motion. The Motion was passed. The Expenditures were accepted.
3) NATHAN KING WATER REPORT: Nathan was not in attendance. Jed told us the pump was fixed but other pump was not reading right. The person fixing the problem is working to have them fixed and they are doing a great job. The contract hasn't been submitted yet but it is costing a lot of money. They will submit the final invoice when done.
Our water table is amazing and keeping up with our needs so far. Jed talked to Tracy Mellor and found that she kept immaculate records on the water. Even in this dry year we have been doing well.
Jay Bartholomew will take the test to become a water master and step into Nathan's job and in the meantime Mike Frey will take the classes and take the test to help Jay.
4) KEVIN DANIELS: Mr. Daniels came before our meeting to go over the Open Meeting items we need to do every year. Each Council Member needs to get the Certificate and give them to the Clerk.
5) SIX COUNTIES: The Six County representatives came to talk to us about what we need or want them to do to help Fayette Town. They offer to help with the CIB loans or the CDBG money that is available. They wanted us to know the deadlines for filing and talked of what they can do to help us. Jed said we didn't need to do anything right now but next year we will look at some things to help us with the water situation in Town.
Six Counties offer help for everyone and they are on Facebook and have over 60+ programs to help anyone in need.
There will be a meeting on May 4th, Wednesday, called REGIONAL GROWTH MEETING in Richfield at 5-7:30 pm.
6) WATER TANKS PUMPS: The Water Pumps are addressed in #3.
7) CEMETARY-PLOTS OR DIGGING THEIR OWN: We want to make a new Ordinance that only the Town will dig the graves and only 2 in a grave. Now that more people are choosing Cremation we can put more in the grave lots.
John Made the Motion to only have the Town dig the graves and that there can only be 2 in a grave if Cremated. Melissa seconded the Motion. The Motion passed.
Also we have looked at a 'Wall 'to put in the Cemetery that will be for the Cremated remains. We will look further into this option. (It will be like a Mausoleum.)
8) BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR: The budget is due in June so we need to start looking at what we need to include and what we need to change. Fire Hydrants are one thing that needs to be changed and budgeted for in the new Budget.
We want to get a new CPA to help us with budget.
9) JARED JENKINS-HOME: Called and cancelled
CITIZEN'S CONCERNS: Gerald Mellor came to make sure his Sister's grave was being dug. He also paid for the digging.
