2) REVIEW EXPENDITURES: Kelly Sue made the Motion to accept the Expenditures. Melissa seconded the Motion. The Expenditures were passed.
3) NATHAN KING WATER REPORT: Nathan was sick and couldn't attend. Martha Elmer was in attendance to talk about her water bill and wondered if she could help Nathan with the water tests. Jed talked to her about getting certified and said if she would, then we could pay her and she could put that money towards her bill. She said she would look at the course and get back to him. We also talked of a few bills that were high this month.
4) TYSON HOLYOAK WANTS TO TALK TO US ABOUT EXTENDING THE TIME HIS TRAILER ON HIS PROPERTY: Tyson wanted to keep his trailer on his property for another 6 months. The Council approved his request.
5) DONATE TO THE VIETNAM WALL COMING TO GUNNISON-JUSTIN MELLOR: Jed wanted to know if we could donate to the United We March group to help bring the replica of the Vietnam Wall to Gunnison? They had a fund raiser here on Memorial Day in the Park, but it was raining so they used the Town Hall. Instead. We offered to donate the Town Hall fees to them and to also donate $100 to the group. Kelly Sue made the Motion to donate the Town Hall fee and $100 to the UWM fund. Melissa seconded the Motion. The Motion passed.
6) THE ROADS WILL BE CLOSED FOR FIXING THE CULVERTS IN TOWN: We will discuss this item next month.
7) DICUSS THE IDEAS FOR SPENDING THE GOVERNMENT AID: Jed introduced the two bids and ideas that were turned in to the Town. FULL SPECTRUM, INC Engineering wrote and said they would do a 3 tier process that would include putting in a system that we could put a tower up at the wells to help monitor it from town. Sunrise Engineering suggested we look for another water source, down to our west or to our north. They both came in under our allotted amount, $30,000.
The council discussed both plans and decided to go with FULL SPECTRUM and their 3 tier project.
John made the Motion to go with the plan from FULL SPECTRUM. Kelly Sue seconded the Motion. The Motion passed. (both bids will be attached)
Also we talked about the pumps and what was going on up there after the lightning strike. The person we hired charged the Town $2300.00 to fix the pump for now, but he needs to still do more to get it working right. He would charge around another $5,000 to finish his work up there.
John made the motion to accept his bid up to $10,000 to finish fixing the pumps for the water. Kelly Sue seconded the Motion. The Motion passed.
We also discussed the possibility of putting a lightning rod up for our protection.
8) TOWN HALL FEES: RESIDENT--$75 NON-RESIDENT--$125 NO REFUNDS: We have been talking about the floors of the Town Hall and Amanda, our person who takes care of the building, mentioned that since we have decided not to charge a refund fee, the people have not been taking as good of care of the building. The Council decided to put a $50 refund fee attached to the fee we are collecting. So from now on there will be a $50 fee that we will return after they have left the building. It might be a while before we will return it to the customers. Kelly Sue made the motion to charge a refund fee with each rental of the Hall. Melissa seconded the Motion. The Motion passed.
9) DISCUSS AND PASS THE BUDGET FOR 2022-2023: The Council decided not to discuss the Budget until all members can look it over and discuss it with the Council next month.
