We need to be paying $43.27 for each child in school. $3591.41 per year. We are now paying about $1100 a year so this would be quite a jump in price for Fayette.

We will need to raise our bills to fit this new proposal, so we need to know more. 4) NATHAN KING WATER REPORT: The Reports are good on the water.

He is handicapped and the house he is in is not suitable for the handicapped. We will pass that to the P&Z. Neil Oldham talked to the Council about his water line. He needed clarification of what he needed to do to have the meter put in. We talked to him about what needs to be done as far as his end of the project. He and Charles Hinnen will drill one line to connect to main line and then they will split off into 2 meters. The Council picked 4 people to do the P&Z committee.

The motion passed. 11) SITUATION WITH WATER DELINQUENCY: MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS? MAKE SURE THEY ARE RECEIVING BILL, BE PERSONABLE!! UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS: This has been an issue in Fayette with customers not paying their bills. The Council has decided to look at every month customers and make sure they are paying on time and if they aren't then they will receive a $15 late fee. Then if we have a second month with no payment it will be a $30 fee. Also the council members will contact with the people and try to work something out. After 2 1/2 Months their water will be turned off. The council will try this and make sure it works, otherwise we will have to look at something different. 12) EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOR SPRING FLOODING: This year has been quite a cold and snowy year and so there will be flooding problems around the State and Melissa was wondering how we can handle this here in Fayette. The Council talked about flooding on the west side, but usually all is well here in town. We have ditches to take care of the most flooding coming into our town. Irrigation Company is responsible for the ditches and they need to be cleaned out. She will be attending a class that the county is doing here in Sanpete County.
