COUNCIL BUSINESS: Planning & Zoning Commission- Chairman Duane Robinson - Duane to provide map of Bradshaw property-Done Leroy Gomez came in for a hi tunnel. 24X38. No permit required. Building Permit Clearance Form signed for Adrian Baird. Duane noted that the transferring of the water share is harder than it needs to be. Once they turn in a water share/right and if the building permit is not issued then the share/right cannot be retransferred and the person will lose it. Duane has the Baird water share in hand. Duane suggests that we ask the attorney about cleaning the process up regarding taking the fees, and signing the clearance form before the town receives the water share. The impact fee should be paid before getting the building permit. Before the water is connected the water share should be turned into the town. Duane passed around the Baird building plans. It is a manufactured home. The certificate for a water share was returned to Mr. England during this meeting due to the above information. ACTION: Brandon made the motion to approve the Baird clearance form. Kris Seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Craig Price's current home is on his own property by 22 feet.

Delora suggests we don't start allowing folks to have a 2 inch line. Brandon said if he wants a 2 inch line, he will have to pay the increase in fee. Discussion regarding what the impact would be on the neighbors that are on the same system. Mayor suggests that for residential we stay with our current size. Jeff installed a new electronic meter today at Mike Mattson home. His old meter was running a gallon a minute. *Action Item for Delora is to ask Cody to check the read on the new meter as soon as possible. Discussion took place regarding our contractors moving a meter and water lines without council approval. This can be an expense to the Town. The Fuhriman example is a lesson learned.
