TOWN COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 4.3.2025 7:00 PM PRESENT: Sue & Gene Gestring, Troy Campbell, Jared Campbell, Doug Nowell, Nikole Campbell, Shawn, John & Leah Knighton, Kacie Torgersen, Haley Obray, Peggy Smith ABSENT: Zac Kearney PRAYER: Jared Campbell PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE MINUTES: Doug motioned for the minutes as read, Troy seconded the motion. All in favor MAYOR UPDATES:The mayor talked to a man from Rural water about our water loss. He is going to come here and take a look. One suggestion is fire hydrants. He said they can leak and it will go into the ground and we would never know it. Haven't heard anything of an update for our spring. Steve tried to go up and he could only get up to the Gay's cabin. The mayor asked if the well had been running ? Steve said not a lot because the chlorinator has been running, but the water loss is down this month. There is a bill for Utah Cities and Leagues for $500.00. It is something the council would like to continue with. PLANNING COMMISSION: John Knighton came asking questions about property that his daughter would like to buy. He wondered if because part of the property is in the town if it changed the requirements for the utilities. He also wondered if the fire hydrant is close enough that they wouldn't have to put another one in. Doug said it should be 600ft. They also asked if a cul de sac would be required. There is an easement for the frontage road, and because of the connecting road on 200 S the council doesn't think it's necessary. The mayor explained that it is required that the property owner/developer is responsible for the cost of any installation of roads and water. After that the town will take on the upkeep. If they expect water from the town, annexation is necessary and the property owner is responsible for any fees. Water shares are also expected. They need to be underground shares before they can be transferred. Joseph Canal Co is wanting to put their ditch in front of the France house and down through town. They are making a grant application to apply for funds to do this. Doug told them he would ask the council if the town would be interested in applying for funds to help with this project. The mayor thinks the town should be a part of it, especially where it's going through town. Doug said he would talk with Hayes Mills. The town has two water shares. They have been used to help water the potatoes. Jared made a motion that if the ward is not using the water for the field that the town makes the water available to lease through a closed bid. Troy seconded the motion. All were in favor. EVENTS: -The mayor has it all written up for what will be needed for the councilman dinner. Dinner made suggestions on how many people will be needed to help. Doug said he can help cook, buy soda pop and water. Peggy and Sue said they will help also. The next 4th of July meeting will be Wednesday April 9th. -The town needs a new cemetery chairman. Gina Nowell is currently the chairman. She said she will take care of this year's memorial day program and treats. Someone needs to check with the American Legion to see if they will be available. MISC Text my Gov contacted the office again asking if the town was interested in this service. It has a lot of options and services available. It would cost $2500. A year. Troy motioned to adjourn the meeting Gene 2nd the motion. All were in favor.
