Jed called some of the companies that have helped us before and had them come look at the problems and asked for them to give us a bid on fixing the issues. Needs to get it fixed ASAP. We will address this when the bids come in. 4) WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT A NEW WATER MASTER: The mayor asked Jordan Wyatt to take over the water master job and he has agreed to take the courses to become the new water master and become certified. Bryan mentioned that Seth Johnson would like to help also. We need more to help so we will talk to Seth next meeting. Bryan made the motion to hire Jordan Wyatt for our new water master and pay him $600 a month for now, but as soon as he gets his Certification we will raise his salary up to $800 a month. Kelly Sue seconded the motion. The motion passed. 5) SHERRY'S FIANCE WORKED 48.5 HOURS: We asked PJ if he would like the Maintenance position to take Jordan's place. He said he would like to help.

We will get him a check for his hours at the park. 6) SHELDON'S SON GAVE US A CERTIFICATE WATER FOR: Robin, Sheldon's son came and met with a couple of Town Council and the Mayor to discuss what was going on with Sheldon's situation with the water. When understood the problem he gave the Town a Certificate for 1 share of Culinary water to give to the people in Town that was supposed to get that share. All is well and we are both satisfied with the outcome. 7) THANK YOU TO THE MARKER'S FOR SUCH A GREAT 24TH OF JULY CELEBRATION!! THEY WILL COMMENT AND TURN IN THEIR RECIEPTS: Dennis and AnaLee were present at the meeting and they talked about the experience. They suggested a Town Celebration Board that would function for all functions in the Town. Then they could rotate who is in charge every year and keep the ideas and the things left over from each year. The T-shirts and the sno-cones went over really well!! They suggested to keep the money from those items in a separate account, so we could use it on the next 24th. Some comments were made to have a watermelon eating contest next year as well as a root beer chugging contest. Many people said they had a nice time this year! We made $261 so far on the t-shirts and $ 107 on the sno-cones. 8) WE NEED TO FIX SOME THINGS AT THE PUMP HOUSE: ELECTRICAL AND CHLORINATOR PROBLEMS: We addressed this in #3. Also we addressed the water Ordinance that we changed some wording. Bryan made the motion to change the wording of the ordinance. Melissa seconded the motion. The motion passed. 9) STIPENDS FOR THE TOWN COUNCIL AND THE CLERK: We spoke about keeping the Mayor's Stipend stay at $400 a month. Kelly Sue made the motion to keep the Mayor's Stipend at $400 a month. Bryan seconded the motion. The motion passed. The Council talked about giving the Clerk a raise to $19 an hour because she will start getting the Cemetery updated on the computer. Also working with the water people to find out the lead pipes in town. Melissa made the motion to give the clerk a raise to $19 an hour. Kelly Sue seconded the motion. The motion passed. CITIZEN'S CONCERNS: Brandon Jensen came to show us a map about the water hook-ups and talked about the map that was already done by Sunrise in 2017. It is called the Culinary Master Plan of 2017. It shows all of the hydrants and turn-off valves within 6'-10', they used hand held unit. Not too accurate but at least it can show a little extra help. Gunnison Fire district was present to talk about a few things that is going on in the Gunnison area. Sanpete County had enough money to purchase 21/2 Engines and they asked for the CIB to put in that much more for 5 total Engines. They got a grant for 100% for more Fire Engines. They will be able to get 5 new Engines! One new one will be in Gunnison and the others throughout the County. They said that Jay Bartholomew was our number one for our town and that Steve Saltair was going to be our #2 in line for Fayette. Also they increased their budget and Fayette is responsible for 8% of that raise, so we will have our Fire fees raise by $480 a year. We will have to find out if we need to raise the fee for Fire in our budget. Animals in Town have been an issue during the summer months. Sherry asked how many days do we return the animals to their home before taking them to the pound? Do we have a solution? Four days is too much. Just take them to the pound. Maybe if they have to pay money they will take better care of the animals. Robin asked for some rocks for Sheldon's grave. He can have the rocks north of the fence post. He can use the red rocks at the cemetery. Irrigation ditches are clogged and we informed them that it is up to the irrigation company. TOWN COUNCIL ITEMS: JED BARTHOLOMEW, MAYOR: Water, Weeds, Office, Cemetery: The Cemetery had water issues and Jed had to go fix the water lines. We almost lost some trees and bushes.
