Description/Agenda

Fayette Town 90 South 100 East HC 13 Box 300564 Fayette Utah 84630 Phone 435-528-5882 E-mail: fayette5882@gmail.com FAYETTE TOWN COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES THURSDAY OCTOBER 5, 2023 LOCATED AT FAYETTE TOWN HALL AT 7PM FACILITATED BY MAYOR JED BARTHOLOMEW CALL TO ORDER: 7:06pm ROLL CALL: Jed Bartholomew, Mayor, John Bown, Kelly Sue Mellor, Melissa Mellor, Bryan Lyman PRAYER : Kathi Williams 1) REVIEW MINUTES: Kelly Sue made the motion to accept the Minutes, with Changes made. John seconded the motion. The minutes were passed. 2) REVIEW EXPENDITURES: John made the motion to accept the expenditures. Melissa seconded the motion. The expenditures were accepted. 3) SIGN WATER ORDINANCE: Bryan made the motion to accept the Water Ordinance as written. Melissa seconded the motion. The Water Ordinance was passed. The Council signed the Water Ordinance. 4) CONSIDER NEW WATER ASSISTANT'S: No one showed for this item on the Agenda. We will table this for now and if anyone is interested they are to contact the Mayor and then it will be addressed. 5) ADDRESS THE RAISE'S FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS: Bryan had checked with other Town's in the area and reported that they paid their Council Members were paid around $1100 a year. They all differed as to when they were paid, either monthly or yearly. The Mayor wanted to know when they wanted this raise, now? Or later? This was a very touchy subject for the Council Members and the Mayor to discuss. There was some conflict between several members and the Mayor. So the discussion was put on hold until next month when all could address this at a better time. 6) MOVE MONEY TO STIPEND FUND FOR RAISES: This will be addressed next month also. 7) ADDRESS THE FLAG POLES FOR DECORATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS: This whole subject was almost put on hold again for this year. Rocky Mountain Power told us that to connect power to the poles each pole would need a meter to power the Christmas decorations. Each meter will cost $3000! We were all disappointed about this because as a Town we cannot afford this added expense. So the Council came up with some ideas about what to do. a) JUST MOVE THE FLAG HOLDERS UP TO 15 FT, This was put on hold b) THEN WE CAN PUT DECORATION BRACKETTS ABOVE THE FLAG HOLDERS: c) WE NEED TO HIRE OUR OWN COMPANY TO INSTALL THE ELECTRCITY ON THE POLES. So the Council decided to have the Brackett's put up by our maintance man. He will attach all the Brackett's up to the line 40 inches above the 15 foot mark. Then in November we will put the decorations up without electricity for now. These decorations are for the town and they deserve to have them up to enjoy! We did think of solar lights, to light them up. This may be an option. 8) TAYLOR WOULD LIKE TO DO THE TREES IN THE PARK-CUT AND TRIM: Taylor would like to come around the end of October or November to trim all the trees around the playground at the park. We asked for a bid from him and would see what his bid is to make a decision. He will have a bid in for next month. We will address this next month. 9) WATER REPORT: Jordan is doing a great job!! He has submitted all the tests needed for the Lead and Copper, and several other ones that the State needed and we passed all of them. He will be taking his test soon so that he will be certified. Also the Company we hired is working up at the water sheds to get all of our things fixed. It still is taking some time, but will be done soon. 10) CHRISTMAS DINNER FOR TOWN-CATERED WITH DESSERT'S ASSIGNED: The Clerk checked out a price for having our Christmas dinner catered this year. The meal will be $2700 for 250 people. We have some money this year to help us pay for a catered meal. We would just need to have deserts donated by the Town. a) ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAS DONATED $200 FOR OUR TOWN DINNER b) INTEREST PAYMENTS: $1200 from interest paid to us The Council talked about just having water and getting donuts and brownies from the bakery in Gunnison. Then the citizen's don't have to provide anything. Ornaments would be accepted again this year. John made the motion to have the Christmas dinner catered and the Town provide the dessert and drinks. Kelly Sue seconded the motion. The motion was passed. 11) P&Z REPORT: Not too much to report. The Mayor wanted to ask a question about whether two houses could go on one property. They clarified what our Town ordinance says about each property has to have 1/2 acre to build a house. Brandon Jensen came to let us know what is going on with the Cemetery Project. We were given a Grant for $4600 and the Town would add $1150 for a total of $5750 for the project. Brandon is working on mapping of each block of the cemetery and will also do the new part of the Cemetery. He has written down names and dates from headstones. He will have more time in the coming months. He will also mark each block. CITIZEN'S CONCERNS: Breanne wanted us to think about policy that we would pay her more if the building was a real mess and we don't refund their refund. We agreed that we would pay her more money if the building is a mess. We didn't think a policy would be needed. Also we are going to look into getting a bigger buffer for the floors. Melissa and Sherry did the building one time and commented that it is quite a large task for such a small buffer. They said that Breanne is doing a great job!! TOWN COUNCIL ITEMS: JED BARTHOLOMEW, MAYOR: Water, Weeds, Office, Cemetery BRYAN LYMAN: Flags, P&Z, Park JOHN BOWN: Animal Control, Fire Meeting's, Cemetery KELLY SUE MELLOR: Celebrations, Grants MELISSA MELLOR: Website, Newsletter, Emergency Preparedness Melissa asked if she could have a Trunk or Treat party on October 28, 2023 here at the building. This would be just for the Fayette kids. The Council wasn't too sure they wanted a Trunk or Treat instead of just door to door trick or treating. She said she didn't want this to take the place of the normal trick or treating. That is why it would be on Saturday the 28th because Halloween is on Tuesday the 31st. The Council agreed to letting her have a party. ADJOURNMENT OF TOWN MEETING: Bryan made the motion to adjourn the meeting. Kelly Sue seconded the motion. The motion passed. Meeting was adjourned at 8:40 pm.
