Pat is excused. Jordan led the Pledge of Allegiance May's minutes were not sent out. Not approved Mayor Business Jared the regional manager for UDOT, talked about speed limits. There has to be a speed study done and costs 10 thousand dollars that is a UDOT expense. The rule will be set at 85 percent at what they study. They were right on with what the speeds were right now. There were no new businesses when the study was done. The Town may need a CCAW to put a sign and change the speed limit. Suggestions were made to help enforce the speed limit. Farmers market is wanting to expand out the rock field to the north because of new vendors and a port a potty was put out there. The area to the south is reserved for employee parking at chuckwagon. Farmers market is okay with the employee parking. The big issue is getting some more rock put out. It is so dry that the dust is an issue. Looking into expenses to gravel to the corner. It was $2000 the last time for a half a block. The council agreed the farmers market is a great thing and agreed to move the porta potty. A motion was made by Pearl to gravel Center Street to help beautify the town of Torrey and to help keep dust down. Jordan seconded. Motion passed. Mayor gave an update on Juniper drive. Mr . Hansen was given a water meter hook up and his property line is about 20 feet south of the Juniper Drive, Jeff Pace's property runs along the strip. The water line was put a couple feet short of Mr. Hansen's property. The Town needs to figure out how to get Mr. Hansen's water to him. There was no documentation on that line. There was a discussion on the documents that are being questioned. Mayor assured Jeff the line would be capped and taken off the property. The town needs to discuss this issue further on landlocked property. The landowner needs to get their own easements to get the water. A work meeting is needed to address this issue and other water issues. Coleen will start providing the water data usage report. The town could not account for 4.9 million gallons. Water quality report said we could not account for 63 percent of Torrey's water. We need to look into bypass lines that are on people's properties. The Grader and Fire truck Bid was not posted until some sorting out of items were figured out. CDBG grant was posted, and Pearl was thanked for getting the environmental items done. Sarah Moore will get back to Pearl and that section will be checked off. This grant is to fix up the playground. The application was resubmitted. Hopefully by September it will be funded. The mayor is trying to get grants through UDOT for paving Roads. The bridge at the Big Apple has some panels broken and we need to get them fixed. Scott Faylor is on zoom and the mayor passed out a site plan. Mayor stated we have a moratorium on new water hookups, but Scott applied in October at that time we did not have the water. He will only need 4 ERC's and the Mayor thinks we should grant him the hook up because it was before the moratorium. A motion was made by Doug and seconded by Jordan to grant Scott 4 ERC's . Motion passed. Mayor will get with Kelley to sort out the ERC's. IT Report- Nothing to report Clerk Report- The town will need some volunteers to cover the office so the Clerk can do the back end.

Motion passed Council Reports Doug on Water Doug inquired about the old cemetery. This will not be a possibility. The contractors still cannot get onto the forest service land on the mountain. Forest Service is doing a wildlife assessment with birds nesting up there. Doug thinks contractors could be done with everything in a month if they were allowed the access. Sand creek pond is dry. Sand Creek irrigation goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and only gives an hour and half of water. Irrigation water is almost non-existent. Jordan - went to the springs and the fencing around it needs repair. We will have Dustin fix it. The battery for the speed sign still cannot be located. A new battery needs to be ordered.
