She is doing this for Sterling Scholar service project. We as the Town Council agreed with her project and support her in all that she does.
5) CRAWFORD'S TREE REMOVAL: It was brought to our attention that there is a tree between the Crawford's property and the Morrow Property that is huge an d causing problems. The Mayor talked to Taylor Mellor and he is willing to remove the tree for $1000. The Council agreed to have Taylor remove the tree.
Kelly Sue made the Motion to pay Taylor Mellor $1000 to cut down and remove the tree. John seconded the Motion. The Motion was passed to pay Taylor the $1000 to have the tree removed. Melissa abstained.
6) HILL'S PROPERTY WATER PROBLEM: Justin Mellor would like to dig a trench and place straw bales in it to stop the rain from getting into the yard and doing more damage. The mayor didn't want such a large trench so near the road in case someone could get hurt. The Council discussed the issues and decided to have Dave Bown dig a ditch and build it up on the side of the house. Kelly Sue made the Motion to have Dave dig the ditch and build it up on the side of the house. Bryan seconded the motion. The Motion passed.
7) SHELDON WOULD LIKE TO INFORM THE COUNCIL ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIS WATER: The Council has agreed to set up a meeting with Sheldon's Lawyer and our Lawyer to get this water situation solved. Jed will contact our Lawyer.
8) WATER METER HAS TO CONTINUE INTO THE ROAD-WHAT TO DO? On many streets in Town the main water pipe is on the other side of the road, so some water meter's have to extend to that pipe. So the person who is having a new water meter installed needs to pay for that additional extention. The Council agreed that it has to be done and paid for by the owner of the property. John made the Motion to have the fee the same for the water meter installation, but the owner needs to have that extention done before we can connect the water meter. Bryan seconded the Motion. The Motion Passed.
9) SECURITY CAMERA'S-WHAT HAS HAPPENED? We received 2 bids, one from Sound Unlimited for $13,073 and one from Darrin Anderson for $4450.

The motion passed.
10) RENT OF THE TOWN HALL FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS? The council talked about allowing the Council members and Employees to be able to rent the building for free. They could rent it 4 times a year, except for Holidays. Bryan made the Motion that the Town Council Members and Employees may rent the Town Hall for free 4 times a year. Kelly Sue seconded the Motion. The Motion passed.
11) CAN WE REPLACE THE MIRROR IN THE BATHROOM? The Council agreed that the mirror needs to be replaced. We can call AtoZ glass and get a Quote.
John made the motion to replace the mirror not to exceed $600. Bryan seconded the motion. The Motion passed
12) CAN WE REPLACE THE BABY SWINGS AT THE PARK-2 ARE BROKEN? Bryan will buy the swings and replace them closer to next year.
CITIZEN'S CONCERNS: Bob Bown came to let us know about the water at the Spring and what Irrigation Board is proposing. The drought has been so bad on the Spring that the board is thinking of making the town residents start to have 1/2 a share of water to build in Fayette.( Only new ones after this) This hasn't been approved, they are looking at this as being a solution for more water.
