1
00:00:05,620 --> 00:00:12,740
Well, welcome, everyone. We appreciate you being in court meetings. Looks like Mike has our invocation

2
00:00:12,740 --> 00:00:15,660
and pledge of allegiance, and we'll come the time to him.

3
00:00:22,990 --> 00:00:24,970
Our father in heaven, as we come

4
00:00:24,970 --> 00:00:29,570
before the of this night, Father, we pray that thy spirit will be in attendance here at

5
00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:38,190
this meeting. Father, we pray that the rain may fall upon us that we so desperately need

6
00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:44,070
in the water for our crops. Father, we thank thee for the opportunity we have to serve

7
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:50,650
thee and pray for the citizens of Boxelter County and the water issues that we have that

8
00:00:50,650 --> 00:00:57,950
we may make wise decisions. We thank thee once again, Father, for all blessings which flow

9
00:00:57,950 --> 00:01:03,650
from the, and pray for these things, and do so in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

10
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:17,820
I pledge allegiance to the high of the United States of America and to the Republic for which

11
00:01:17,820 --> 00:01:24,160
it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, new with liberty and justice for all.

12
00:01:29,940 --> 00:01:30,740
Thank you, Mike.

13
00:01:30,740 --> 00:01:36,700
I need conflicts of interest tonight because he declares.

14
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,780
I don't know what the only existence is.

15
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:46,200
If you need a minute, I'll read it.

16
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,260
The end of that and we'll go when we want.

17
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,660
We're going to take a motion to adopt the agenda and approve the minutes of May 27th, 2026.

18
00:01:56,740 --> 00:01:57,980
I'll move. We do that.

19
00:01:58,660 --> 00:01:59,800
I will second that.

20
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,060
I have a motion in a second on the table while in favor.

21
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:03,820
Aye.

22
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:04,960
Any opposed?

23
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:06,720
Motion passes.

24
00:02:08,940 --> 00:02:16,180
Apparently, Lyle stuck in Florida, so I do have a statement from him if you want me

25
00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:16,620
to read that.

26
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:18,020
Sure.

27
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:22,280
So Lyle sent me a text this morning from the Miami Airport.

28
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,980
He said, let everyone know that I have reviewed the finances and find everything in order.

29
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:29,320
I feel yeah,

30
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:39,910
okay? We'll try and answer it. I have a number 5174. That's a payment

31
00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:47,750
to JUB for some engineering. $62,000 for any $3 and it says it's from Bear River Plan. It's an EIS study.

32
00:02:47,930 --> 00:02:56,030
Is that the one we talked about last month? And the question I have on that is part of that lower

33
00:02:56,030 --> 00:02:58,570
or a river plan, or river, is that,

34
00:02:59,190 --> 00:03:00,850
is that what DCIS is for?

35
00:03:01,010 --> 00:03:01,130
Yes.

36
00:03:01,730 --> 00:03:03,730
And so we pay in that money, because I understand

37
00:03:03,730 --> 00:03:07,230
and I have was that that was going to be where the clearing

38
00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:11,410
house, but that, but we're not the ones that are actually

39
00:03:11,410 --> 00:03:11,910
paying that.

40
00:03:12,290 --> 00:03:13,430
So it's just a pass-through.

41
00:03:14,030 --> 00:03:16,770
So we do pay JUB, but we get reimbursed.

42
00:03:16,850 --> 00:03:17,590
Yeah, we get reimbursed.

43
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:19,570
NRCS?

44
00:03:20,190 --> 00:03:24,670
Yes, so I'm going to be on the non-operating income.

45
00:03:24,670 --> 00:03:33,530
Yeah, it's NRCS, the account number 5155, the federal grant, and then right below that is the

46
00:03:34,690 --> 00:03:36,870
VR Canal PL566.

47
00:03:38,370 --> 00:03:43,770
And that's where that income comes in. So we pay it out and then they send it back to us.

48
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:48,750
I'm just curious if that's where it was and it's kind of like comfortable with that.

49
00:03:50,350 --> 00:04:02,470
So is it the same situation with the connection fee that was paid for $4,600 to a resident

50
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:05,310
or an adress in Deweyville?

51
00:04:07,820 --> 00:04:08,960
No, that's not the same.

52
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:11,780
What was it on the way?

53
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,740
That we received from a resident?

54
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:14,660
We paid it.

55
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:17,160
We paid a resident.

56
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,940
I don't remember paying any resident.

57
00:04:18,940 --> 00:04:22,500
Is it on your check register? Is that where you're looking at? Hold on one minute.

58
00:04:34,830 --> 00:04:36,310
Sorry, I'm having more time going on.

59
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:39,050
You know where it's out, Brian? Check register? Yeah.

60
00:04:42,630 --> 00:04:43,670
It's on page two.

61
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,540
Sorry, just take a minute to get this told up.

62
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,020
Page two, did you say?

63
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:03,920
I didn't see it on page two.

64
00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:05,060
No, it's not on page two.

65
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,700
I just needed a mouth there, but it wasn't there.

66
00:05:11,460 --> 00:05:12,580
What's the check number again?

67
00:05:12,580 --> 00:05:14,580
I'll tell you this is going to be right here.

68
00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:15,260
I'll

69
00:05:42,650 --> 00:05:49,750
check number 5198.

70
00:05:54,740 --> 00:05:58,380
That's our ex-cognitive company that does our connections.

71
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:03,420
And I'm wondering why we're paying that instead of having the residents?

72
00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:04,520
Well, they pay us.

73
00:06:05,020 --> 00:06:06,300
So that's a pass through again.

74
00:06:06,540 --> 00:06:07,580
That's my question.

75
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:08,440
Yeah, yeah.

76
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,300
Yeah, so we put a connection fee on the customer.

77
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:12,900
Okay.

78
00:06:13,180 --> 00:06:13,520
Okay.

79
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,780
That's what I was asking.

80
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:16,800
Any

81
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,340
other questions?

82
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:26,180
Those clarifications are sufficient for both of you.

83
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:31,980
I'd entertain a motion to accept the financials.

84
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,620
Let me accept the financials as reported.

85
00:06:35,980 --> 00:06:38,120
It's been moved and seconded, all in favour?

86
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:45,860
here. Hi. Hi. Any opposed? Action items tonight. We have Anderson Development, 200 units

87
00:06:45,860 --> 00:06:52,560
in Bothwell, and Anderson Family Representative. You want to come to the table and? Sure.

88
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:59,960
Are we do I think? Right there at the front and center. Or wherever you're comfortable?

89
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:14,820
We were in here a year ago on a little serve for a property and I believe that later was for a year.

90
00:07:15,660 --> 00:07:17,420
We're trying to see if we can extend that a year.

91
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:25,490
Anything you want to add to that?

92
00:07:25,490 --> 00:07:33,940
chance or around the question anybody has say have the original and in your

93
00:07:33,940 --> 00:07:37,020
packets the original will serve letter that was provided for the Anderson family

94
00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:41,180
all those same conditions that applied with that original will serve which I've

95
00:07:41,180 --> 00:07:51,240
got got here all those same contingency still apply and you have a petition

96
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,980
no there's only good for one year and then you have to come back and and repotitions

97
00:07:55,980 --> 00:07:57,120
That's just what this is.

98
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:57,600
What is it?

99
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:58,740
What's the reason?

100
00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:58,960
How?

101
00:07:59,260 --> 00:07:59,600
Nothing.

102
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:00,980
It's complicated.

103
00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:01,700
Yeah.

104
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,520
We've had answers with two or three parties.

105
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:14,020
And the economies of scale what we need to make that work and bring out water and water.

106
00:08:14,260 --> 00:08:15,760
We're still struggling with a little bit.

107
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:23,400
Dr. Rambe and he's, I want to say he's lost enthusiasm.

108
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:30,860
He says, if you made me work with, I'll participate as well, but we've got a group in

109
00:08:30,860 --> 00:08:33,920
light, and then the group is so late, and it's

110
00:08:36,030 --> 00:08:39,350
just complicated and need no more time.

111
00:08:40,110 --> 00:08:46,890
So has anything changed as far as water commitments in that year's time frame that we have, so water

112
00:08:46,890 --> 00:08:49,950
is available as you know, there's nothing to do.

113
00:08:51,130 --> 00:09:06,850
Yeah, if you remember right, we had a hands-on and loose do some modeling and quite a bit of infrastructure would need to be built by the Anderson family and other developers to make it happen which is, you can see here in the will serve letter.

114
00:09:08,910 --> 00:09:14,950
The family would be forced to follow what our engineers have advised and so on.

115
00:09:14,950 --> 00:09:20,790
I spoke last year, there was some of the line that was going to be built by the

116
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:26,390
conservancy at a point in time. I'm curious where that's at.

117
00:09:28,540 --> 00:09:33,600
It's engineered and shovel ready, but the district doesn't build infrastructure

118
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,720
without real commitments. And so, so we, there's lots of things that are

119
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:44,100
talked about out there, but nobody's really stepped up to force the construction of

120
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:47,300
that, just yet. But it's your already could go tomorrow.

121
00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:53,680
Have they paid their down payment to receive this water?

122
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,720
Nope. Nope. No, they haven't paid any impact fees.

123
00:09:57,380 --> 00:10:00,860
And our water is on a first come first or basis. So if someone

124
00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:04,180
came in next meeting and actually committed to the water and

125
00:10:04,180 --> 00:10:07,740
paid for it. Are we waiting for Anderson to make a commitment

126
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:10,320
on a monetary or financial statement?

127
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:10,960
Absolutely.

128
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,620
see before we can. Yeah, the Anderson family and many other developments out in that area,

129
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,000
including Tremont City.

130
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,780
Gentlemen, we just found you think a little more time. I hope I'm not

131
00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:29,900
here next year saying we need another year, but we've done, we've got quite a bit accomplished,

132
00:10:32,780 --> 00:10:39,430
but we'd like to continue on. I'd make a motion, stuff that's changed, and we've

133
00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:43,050
Approved it on your extension for the Anderson family.

134
00:10:44,250 --> 00:10:45,390
I'll second it.

135
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:52,350
We've moved and seconded that we make the one-year extension for the Anderson family development.

136
00:10:52,610 --> 00:10:53,110
All in favor?

137
00:10:53,890 --> 00:10:54,130
Aye.

138
00:10:54,590 --> 00:10:55,150
Any opposed?

139
00:10:56,050 --> 00:10:56,770
Motion passes.

140
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:58,090
Thank you.

141
00:11:00,290 --> 00:11:01,590
Thank you very much.

142
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:02,170
Thank you.

143
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,300
The Sunset Vista subdivision.

144
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,300
You're not in Mortensen?

145
00:11:17,780 --> 00:11:18,220
Welcome.

146
00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:19,200
Thank you.

147
00:11:19,580 --> 00:11:20,700
I'm Bruno Mortensen.

148
00:11:20,860 --> 00:11:21,560
Good to meet you all.

149
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:25,750
Let's see here.

150
00:11:25,890 --> 00:11:26,290
I've got some.

151
00:11:26,770 --> 00:11:27,410
I like your shirt.

152
00:11:27,870 --> 00:11:28,230
Thank you.

153
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:29,110
I like your shirt.

154
00:11:30,090 --> 00:11:31,930
That was natural way to go.

155
00:11:32,370 --> 00:11:32,890
Did you guys call me?

156
00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:37,820
Let's see.

157
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,220
I have some notes.

158
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,400
Did you say you're going to do a background on this first?

159
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,120
No, I'll just turn it over to you if you want to explain.

160
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,940
Okay, the location. I'll bring up whatever you need.

161
00:11:49,940 --> 00:11:51,700
Sure. And there was a packet.

162
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:59,060
I prepared a couple of pages of bullet points and notes about this little development.

163
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:03,100
And if there was a packet, people had a chance to glance at it.

164
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:05,660
Were there any things initially?

165
00:12:05,980 --> 00:12:13,080
Or the questions, the comments that anybody would like me to touch on or just go through what I have first?

166
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,940
Start with that.

167
00:12:15,940 --> 00:12:16,380
Yeah.

168
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:16,680
Yeah.

169
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:17,300
Okay.

170
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:19,860
Let's see.

171
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,400
I'm just going to give you a little bit of brief, very brief background about myself.

172
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,980
I'm originally from Colville, Utah.

173
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:32,160
It's where I grew up, and then I tend to school in Utah State in Logan, Tello, 5, and I had

174
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,760
at home in North Odden until 2016, and then moved to South Wheeler.

175
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,940
So I've been in Box Elder County enjoying life here for the last 10 years.

176
00:12:41,940 --> 00:12:48,940
obviously spent a lot of time before then and I'm like, everybody here, I assume

177
00:12:48,940 --> 00:12:57,240
loves the quality of life here and the rural atmosphere and drying around, you know, I love

178
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,680
seeing the open fields in the open space and don't like to see, you know, when I see a

179
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:07,600
lot of it getting plowed up, fortunately we haven't had much of that yet, but one of the

180
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:18,720
things about developments. I'm not a long-term, long-time professional developer. I just did a nice

181
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:26,940
little one by my home in South Lillard, where we extended the street on 10 acres that I had

182
00:13:26,940 --> 00:13:35,200
purchased from the school district recently. And it's just going to keep the same look and feel on a

183
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,660
of the half-acre logs like I live on there in South Wheeler.

184
00:13:39,660 --> 00:13:43,620
And so I feel like a lot of the multi-family housing

185
00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:46,220
and things like that, you see going in different places

186
00:13:46,220 --> 00:13:49,080
other than like some isolated pockets in the cities

187
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,620
where they're allowed and it doesn't really fit

188
00:13:50,620 --> 00:13:52,400
well with Boxilla County.

189
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:55,480
So in fact, when I was thinking about this one

190
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,060
or some other ones that I work on like this,

191
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,860
the Boxilla County general plan states

192
00:14:02,540 --> 00:14:07,180
that it protects opportunities to live in a rural atmosphere through decisions that support

193
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:11,580
our farmers and ranchers and their agricultural stewardship by encouraging developments

194
00:14:12,130 --> 00:14:17,460
on ground that isn't well-suited for agriculture and focus most of the growth in our near existing

195
00:14:17,460 --> 00:14:18,260
cities and towns.

196
00:14:19,820 --> 00:14:26,180
So this one, the nice thing about this, is it checks all those boxes, it's not a high-density

197
00:14:26,180 --> 00:14:33,100
the development. It is a narrow and existing community and it's got single family homes

198
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:41,120
in a rural setting on ground that's not well suited for agricultural uses. And I dug

199
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:51,980
the test holes for the sewer system or the septic feasibility letter. The septic test holes

200
00:14:51,980 --> 00:14:59,300
And it's like Rocky not even a foot underground. I mean, I was struggling with my it's a pretty good mini-expert

201
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,880
I was having a hard time getting down. So nobody's going to go plough it up and grow any crops there. I can tell you that. So I've got some more thoughts on that. But what I've done here is just laid it out. And it happens to be if you look through the notes on it. It's right there north of Deweyville in an area that I really like. And this very ever water conservancy district, you guys have a pump house on actual

202
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:36,000
property itself. So we had a pre

203
00:15:38,620 --> 00:15:44,240
-petition meeting and so I should back up a

204
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:50,760
little bit and say that what I've put together here these are all over half

205
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,500
acre lots. Obviously in the county code they have to be at least point out

206
00:15:55,500 --> 00:16:02,520
square cutter and half a through to half a septic system. So these are all approximately

207
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,940
21,000 square feet.

208
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,120
You can see how that comes in and just shows a temporary turnaround

209
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:15,020
because the piece there is part of it that's in the town, a Deweyville, but I don't know

210
00:16:15,020 --> 00:16:20,480
what to do or have plans on that one. Immediately this is just on a piece that's in an incorporate

211
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,760
a box of the county.

212
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,720
And so then on section 4 of my notes as it relates to

213
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:41,340
variable water, conservancy districts, water service policy. It says that you

214
00:16:41,340 --> 00:16:46,880
consider each position on individual basis, state and dental location costs, the

215
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,980
impact water supplies and system capacity.

216
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,400
So I wanted to touch briefly on each.

217
00:16:51,980 --> 00:16:55,260
The location is within the service area,

218
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,600
but it's not within the boundary of another public water

219
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,100
system.

220
00:16:59,020 --> 00:17:01,940
The second one is cost, which would be minimal.

221
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,460
And it should result in revenue to the water district

222
00:17:06,460 --> 00:17:09,380
through the connection fees and the recurring service

223
00:17:09,380 --> 00:17:13,960
provided each lot and result in zero cost to the district.

224
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:23,400
And the impact is minimal of any where there's already an existing pump house that exists on the actual property.

225
00:17:24,060 --> 00:17:25,560
Fourth one is water supplies.

226
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:35,400
Again, we looked at that. The district floor supplies far exceeds the needs for this development.

227
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,400
System capacity is more than sufficient for the project needs.

228
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,800
and at our pre-petition meeting, we noted that there's 12 inch main lines

229
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:51,340
to and from the pump house that I think at the time was around 116 psi.

230
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,880
So we can determine that providing the service will be a problem.

231
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:05,080
In summary, I think it's a pretty straightforward proposal on petition for water service.

232
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,700
I feel like each of the criteria for riding the water

233
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:15,820
serves is easily met, possibly more easy than any previous petition in history, I

234
00:18:15,820 --> 00:18:21,060
guess since the water is already on the parcel. And so we have good opportunity

235
00:18:21,060 --> 00:18:25,540
for a good work in relationship work, so you get there's neighbors that location

236
00:18:25,540 --> 00:18:31,260
going forward. I also am excited about this because it checks the boxes of the

237
00:18:31,260 --> 00:18:36,240
county's objectives with it being in close proximity to an existing community

238
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:43,280
and by keeping it in the farm ground open rather than building home down on good

239
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:43,760
farm ground.

240
00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:53,140
How long have you owned the property? How long have you owned it? I haven't

241
00:18:53,140 --> 00:18:57,060
closed on it yet. I'm still in the I'm working on closing here within the next

242
00:18:57,060 --> 00:19:02,020
month. I've got a letter. Same thing happened with the piece I purchased in

243
00:19:02,020 --> 00:19:09,420
South Wheeler, I got work through my process on that development there and then closed

244
00:19:09,420 --> 00:19:11,840
on it. Most of that work had been completed.

245
00:19:14,860 --> 00:19:16,120
What was the mayor to go to think about?

246
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,380
I'm not the mayor anymore, former mayor. Former mayor, okay.

247
00:19:23,340 --> 00:19:24,980
There was a letter that

248
00:19:24,980 --> 00:19:28,920
we built to climb the water. Did they do that just because it's not in our boundaries?

249
00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:33,620
Well, they didn't actually decline the water. They told me that they had plenty of water

250
00:19:33,620 --> 00:19:43,100
But they would have needed what they declined was the annexation and there were people who I needed to have zoning for

251
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,960
20,000 square foot lots into my

252
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,900
dismay and I didn't know I mean the stuff you learn to work into the process they don't have

253
00:19:51,900 --> 00:20:00,060
Zoning for half-fated lots their smallest one in the county does the R120 zoning like I have by my home in South

254
00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:07,100
but the smallest residential zone in New Haven was an 8th of an 8th year, so 35,000 square

255
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:13,080
full lots, and so what they declined was the annexation, and there were quite a few

256
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:19,900
people that didn't want to adopt the 20,000 square foot.

257
00:20:22,550 --> 00:20:29,570
So how many, if you did the zoning to meet New Haven's request, how many lots would you be able to do that?

258
00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:41,790
Well, they'd still have to annex it and then we'd have to zone it as that 35,000 square foot.

259
00:20:41,970 --> 00:20:44,410
I think it showed B-I-H.

260
00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:45,270
It was what?

261
00:20:45,550 --> 00:20:46,850
0.85 of an anchor.

262
00:20:47,270 --> 00:20:48,290
0.85 of an anchor?

263
00:20:48,590 --> 00:20:48,730
Yeah.

264
00:20:48,830 --> 00:20:49,050
Okay.

265
00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:52,930
Yeah, that math works better.

266
00:20:53,070 --> 00:20:56,850
I thought it was 0.8 of an anchor and I did the math today and it looked, it came out closer

267
00:20:56,850 --> 00:20:57,270
to the point.

268
00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:58,710
Yeah, it's .85.

269
00:20:59,450 --> 00:21:01,990
Either way, I think your bill is time to go.

270
00:21:02,370 --> 00:21:08,770
You'd have 11 if we included that 2.5284 parcel at the bottom that's in the town.

271
00:21:09,410 --> 00:21:16,010
And right now, we can do 12 just on the portion that's in Baxle, County.

272
00:21:21,730 --> 00:21:25,770
And I did want, I had one more comment about that.

273
00:21:25,770 --> 00:21:31,830
I don't, when I had, I shared a nice little, I thought it was a nice PowerPoint presentation

274
00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:38,590
with the Planning and Zoning Commission in New York and also the Town Council and everybody

275
00:21:38,590 --> 00:21:44,410
was like, this looks great, they were like, everybody was very positive, like after I did

276
00:21:44,410 --> 00:21:50,090
share it with the Planning Commission they said, put him on the agenda for next week and

277
00:21:50,090 --> 00:21:53,710
have him share it with the Town Council and so I came back and did that.

278
00:21:53,710 --> 00:22:06,210
And then, but in order to annex and have, especially have the reason that that town hearing, so then people came out and I decided not to attend just so it could be a neutral thing.

279
00:22:07,150 --> 00:22:16,270
It's probably a bad decision, but then people came out and they're like, well, we want to keep maintaining the rural field here, we want to have the open space.

280
00:22:16,270 --> 00:22:21,510
I'm like I had a whole slide on my presentation saying the same thing like that's why I like

281
00:22:21,510 --> 00:22:23,310
Boxel the county and

282
00:22:23,310 --> 00:22:29,610
So since then I've looked and done some research and there's actually over 20 parcels in the town boundaries

283
00:22:29,610 --> 00:22:30,850
They're half acre or smaller

284
00:22:31,530 --> 00:22:34,590
Most of them are really close to this developer and so

285
00:22:35,410 --> 00:22:43,770
And I will just say on the top of Deweyville they were all created before we even had that's true

286
00:22:46,070 --> 00:22:50,810
That's right, I'm just saying they exist and everybody still feels like it's rural.

287
00:22:51,290 --> 00:22:54,630
My position is this isn't going to change the rural field.

288
00:22:54,990 --> 00:22:59,390
In fact, this property is going to end up there digging the test holes for the septic

289
00:22:59,390 --> 00:23:00,150
feasibility letter.

290
00:23:00,270 --> 00:23:06,070
You can only see like one town straight line of sight visually one house that's even inside

291
00:23:06,070 --> 00:23:07,190
the town boundaries.

292
00:23:07,690 --> 00:23:13,070
The other homes, three or an unincorporate boxhill of county do trees and then a couple others

293
00:23:13,070 --> 00:23:15,270
and they look way over top of this.

294
00:23:15,510 --> 00:23:17,990
So to me, it's in a perfect location,

295
00:23:18,490 --> 00:23:22,210
as far as being close to existing community,

296
00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:25,410
it's not gonna diminish anybody's quality of life

297
00:23:25,410 --> 00:23:26,450
by any stretch.

298
00:23:26,950 --> 00:23:28,750
And the other thing I got thinking about too

299
00:23:28,750 --> 00:23:32,010
the other day that I did some math on this before the meeting.

300
00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:34,070
Like a lot of times people think,

301
00:23:34,710 --> 00:23:38,130
well, lower density zones,

302
00:23:38,370 --> 00:23:40,890
like the two acre zones and the five acre zones,

303
00:23:40,890 --> 00:23:50,830
that it keeps the feel more rural, well, kind of, but in certain ways that's completely not true

304
00:23:50,830 --> 00:23:56,650
because we know we have people want to move to the county because they want to enjoy the same quality life that we all have.

305
00:23:57,310 --> 00:24:06,330
But like in this example, we can fit 12 lots on 7.67 acre piece of ground. It's not usable for farm ground.

306
00:24:06,330 --> 00:24:16,390
But to put those same 12 lots on two-acre zone, we had two acres only, you'd have to have

307
00:24:16,390 --> 00:24:21,590
like 29 or 30 acres, probably a good farm ground by the time you put in your infrastructure

308
00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:22,830
for your development.

309
00:24:23,490 --> 00:24:30,290
And if it was five acres, it's even worse because they would be like 69 acres to have the

310
00:24:30,290 --> 00:24:31,750
same 12 single-family homes.

311
00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:48,430
And so to me, I think it's a home run as far as preserving e-mails counterintuitive, it preserves open space and makes it so some guy doesn't go put in 12 single family homes on the two acres on eight or five acres only when you can get.

312
00:24:48,910 --> 00:24:59,250
And you still have, as I like to say, you can't shake hands with your neighbor out the window. You still have a little bit of room, you know, so I think it's great.

313
00:25:08,430 --> 00:25:26,750
I think we better turn this meeting around a little bit, it's starting to sound like a planning commission meeting instead of a water providing meeting tonight, so I'd like to stick to the agenda, whether the Conservancy is willing to do a well-served letter.

314
00:25:28,190 --> 00:25:34,050
or not worry about his other items that we're spending so much time talking about.

315
00:25:34,370 --> 00:25:35,170
I apologize.

316
00:25:35,410 --> 00:25:37,730
I have a tendency to go off on attendance and get out of my way.

317
00:25:37,750 --> 00:25:38,210
That's all right.

318
00:25:38,330 --> 00:25:38,870
We need an answer.

319
00:25:39,170 --> 00:25:40,690
So it's currently zone for what?

320
00:25:40,850 --> 00:25:44,110
Just unzoned in the county or zone for what's the zone going on?

321
00:25:44,130 --> 00:25:44,270
I don't see.

322
00:25:44,290 --> 00:25:46,210
I believe it's, isn't it?

323
00:25:46,610 --> 00:25:47,190
Act 40?

324
00:25:47,810 --> 00:25:48,150
No.

325
00:25:48,550 --> 00:25:49,710
Is it RR2?

326
00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:51,510
Is what we thought.

327
00:25:52,010 --> 00:25:53,430
Your letter says A40.

328
00:25:53,430 --> 00:26:00,710
The one that came from, I think that's the one that's in the 2.52 acres in the town was the 840.

329
00:26:00,910 --> 00:26:03,570
I think the no-surveller, I think, identifies it.

330
00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:05,410
Oh, what?

331
00:26:05,650 --> 00:26:06,550
That's my question.

332
00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:08,670
What's it currently, zone?

333
00:26:09,190 --> 00:26:09,310
Yeah.

334
00:26:09,570 --> 00:26:10,270
I think it's 840.

335
00:26:11,350 --> 00:26:18,390
I believe that is our two, the piece that's in the county, but I'm looking for that for you right now.

336
00:26:18,970 --> 00:26:26,410
says here it's currently a no serve letter says AG that's 40 so from do you so

337
00:26:27,450 --> 00:26:32,270
to Brian's point I don't know that that's necessarily our concern it's not

338
00:26:32,270 --> 00:26:34,870
that's what I could say we need to decide whether it would just serve the

339
00:26:34,870 --> 00:26:39,370
water or not as long as the county improves the development yeah so I have a

340
00:26:39,370 --> 00:26:45,430
question that kind of deals with this but I know that districts intent is to be a

341
00:26:45,430 --> 00:26:52,110
wholesaler, not a retailer. And how does that fit in this? We're doing bills, right?

342
00:26:52,610 --> 00:26:58,110
I mean, basically, it looks like that line is right on the bottom there. How's that fit?

343
00:26:58,910 --> 00:27:05,920
Well, what we see in the district, that's the problem you have is where do you bill? You'd have

344
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,940
the wholesale, but the county, but the county's probably not going to give them the water business.

345
00:27:11,020 --> 00:27:14,640
Because you've got a wholesale to whoever it's providing, you know,

346
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:20,940
So like down in South Wheeler, we have subdivisions that we've annexed and we're going to wholesale

347
00:27:20,940 --> 00:27:28,680
water but Wheeler is going to provide the water, we'll sell it from you guys and sell it to the

348
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,840
subdivision. Here's another spot it doesn't work because they're in the county. Another thought is

349
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,660
Conservancy's buying water from Deweyville. We want to turn right back around and sell it to

350
00:27:39,660 --> 00:27:46,080
something to their neighbor? Well you can because your water policy allows you to sell it to me

351
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:54,200
it's just a retail sale or instead a wholesale but in the water policy it talks about retail

352
00:27:55,420 --> 00:28:01,740
petitions for new retail water service to resident commercial entity industrial or new development area

353
00:28:01,740 --> 00:28:07,360
or wholesale. You have the order to retail me water I just have to pay more than if you're wholesale

354
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:07,920
somebody.

355
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:20,180
But you've maintained the system then. Well, I did it back to you guys. So I have to pay for all the infrastructure costs to do it.

356
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:23,960
But I think we would have to maintain that system then wouldn't we?

357
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,860
Another basically a question is, even though there's a pump on the property here near the property,

358
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,120
that doesn't mean that's not a treatment plan or anything and it have to go to it.

359
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,920
Where's the closest where the water comes from?

360
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:44,260
to come from district sources that are just a little bit further south or

361
00:28:44,260 --> 00:28:51,120
south, sorry. And then it would be treated where? At that booster station. There's a

362
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,440
treatment plan after that property, that pump pass. It's not a treatment. It's just

363
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,680
chlorine. That's where we chlorinate the water. Okay. So south of that booster station

364
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,220
is what we call raw water. Everything north is finished water. And our first

365
00:29:04,220 --> 00:29:08,300
This district retail customer is 400 feet up the road from this location.

366
00:29:08,980 --> 00:29:12,940
And it would reservoir would be south or north?

367
00:29:13,620 --> 00:29:14,680
The reservoir is clear north.

368
00:29:16,580 --> 00:29:19,440
So on the south of the pump station we have, that's our low pressure zone.

369
00:29:20,460 --> 00:29:24,220
And so for this development they'd have to tie onto the high pressure side of the pump station

370
00:29:24,220 --> 00:29:25,740
and it would just back feed.

371
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,340
So you wouldn't have to go back to the reservoir and then pump back?

372
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,620
No, it would just naturally feed via gravity.

373
00:29:33,460 --> 00:29:36,300
I have one more thing I'd like to say and then I'll be done.

374
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:48,920
I think we really should consider a feasibility study because I go back to my days of UConn.

375
00:29:49,580 --> 00:29:56,960
UConn has a contract with the Conservancy District to provide water to them up until 2036,

376
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,740
I believe, and uh...

377
00:30:01,170 --> 00:30:31,050
So, Deweyville has, we got a letter from the Conservancy District stating that there might be a chance that Deweyville would not provide water. And that's why that, um, was it the flat canyon well was dug? Yes. Now, a couple of years ago, a couple of years ago. And so, flat canyon well didn't produce very well. It may only. So, I'm saying, if Deweyville

378
00:30:31,050 --> 00:30:34,090
both chooses not to continue to serve the district.

379
00:30:36,090 --> 00:30:43,510
We need to know we have additional capacity to add customers to it and do we have the,

380
00:30:43,910 --> 00:30:50,190
is it in our policy to do feasibility studies when these type of things become requested?

381
00:30:51,090 --> 00:30:55,170
So the studies have already been done, even on just the district existing source,

382
00:30:55,170 --> 00:31:01,810
flat canyon it has the capacity for over 200 and I think don't quote in the 240s as

383
00:31:01,810 --> 00:31:07,850
far as even if do we build chooses not an honor to contract anymore yep yep so

384
00:31:07,850 --> 00:31:13,490
you can meet your contract rule agreements plus that more customers to it that's

385
00:31:13,490 --> 00:31:16,090
correct yep that's correct I

386
00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:27,420
just look at it with our agreements then purchasing

387
00:31:27,420 --> 00:31:35,400
water from Deweyville. Like I just I've got nothing against this project but I just think we need to be

388
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:43,380
careful with all we're doing with buying water from Deweyville and then going back around and that's just my opinion.

389
00:31:45,020 --> 00:31:50,100
Say and an ideal situation this would be identical to what we're doing down in South

390
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:56,480
Wheeler. We wholesale the water to Wheeler City and Wheeler City retells it. That's the that's the Goldie

391
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,780
Yeah, do you bill would step up and say approve this then you would be

392
00:32:00,780 --> 00:32:01,160
whole safe.

393
00:32:01,420 --> 00:32:02,660
I wanted to do a bill and get that bill.

394
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:03,180
That's easy.

395
00:32:03,260 --> 00:32:03,600
It's easy.

396
00:32:03,740 --> 00:32:04,080
It could happen.

397
00:32:04,620 --> 00:32:05,980
Nothing in the development changes.

398
00:32:06,220 --> 00:32:06,660
It just happens.

399
00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:07,840
But do he.

400
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:08,940
But do he's retarded?

401
00:32:08,980 --> 00:32:09,140
Yeah.

402
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,460
I've talked to do we bill.

403
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:13,340
And they said absolutely no.

404
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:15,040
Let's see.

405
00:32:15,180 --> 00:32:18,960
That's the hard part because with do we bill kind of bowing out of it?

406
00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:25,420
And the problem is that's probably in do we bill's annexation zone?

407
00:32:25,460 --> 00:32:26,040
Yes, it is.

408
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:32,180
And so they're going to have an island in their city someday that's going to have this little

409
00:32:32,180 --> 00:32:39,080
nothing in it, and that isn't very good looking forward for them, you know what I'm saying.

410
00:32:39,260 --> 00:32:43,360
So, now that's just the outside first look at it in.

411
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:52,040
But water, the water issue is it doesn't sound like we're in a place where we can't supply

412
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:52,640
them the water.

413
00:32:53,720 --> 00:33:00,260
Well the question is whether we, or we want to get away from retail connections and

414
00:33:00,260 --> 00:33:06,660
wholesale water shall, or we still bound by honoring and retail connection, request.

415
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,760
What would it be?

416
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:08,980
I think so.

417
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:09,620
What would it be?

418
00:33:09,980 --> 00:33:10,160
We're following.

419
00:33:10,340 --> 00:33:11,340
We're following policy.

420
00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:14,000
The policy says we can.

421
00:33:14,220 --> 00:33:14,360
Yeah.

422
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:19,140
It says we can, but we've been trying, I mean, I know, it's more ideal to be wholesale, I

423
00:33:19,140 --> 00:33:21,340
guess, the direction that we can definitely.

424
00:33:21,340 --> 00:33:25,820
Does this create more problems for our district to have something like this on our victim?

425
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,980
You're going to have these come from time to time in different places.

426
00:33:29,420 --> 00:33:30,220
What does that do to us?

427
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,820
I don't like seeing the district in the situation at all.

428
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:34,380
And I talked to Vernon about this.

429
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,340
This is always puts us in a contentious spot.

430
00:33:38,420 --> 00:33:44,640
But our policy allows for when a retail customer is denied service by the closest town,

431
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,740
the next step is to come to us.

432
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
And Vernon's following that policy tonight.

433
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,320
But I don't like it.

434
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,240
I have no other option.

435
00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:57,500
I mean, if it's not within an existing water utility,

436
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,300
but it's in your service district,

437
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:00,620
you're the ones I come to.

438
00:34:00,780 --> 00:34:05,780
Because that's the only thing that's, you know,

439
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:08,940
the role of the district to provide water on it

440
00:34:08,940 --> 00:34:11,040
where else to go and ask for water.

441
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:11,760
Kelly?

442
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:12,780
I'm just wondering.

443
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:16,020
It seems like the car before the horse a little bit here.

444
00:34:16,020 --> 00:34:22,120
I mean this obviously needs to be rezoned and I wonder if we were to give a

445
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:27,180
wheel serve letter if we could put that contingent on the county coming back

446
00:34:27,180 --> 00:34:32,040
and stand that after a zone needs to take place because obviously that's going to

447
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,600
take place before we can do anything else. And that's my biggest grief with the

448
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:41,200
county is all Vernon has to come do this first and the county requires him to do

449
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,880
this just to move that that zoning process forward.

450
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,440
We put a letter though that we will serve letter based on that contingency.

451
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:48,000
Absolutely.

452
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,540
Is that an option that we can do?

453
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:49,940
Absolutely.

454
00:34:50,380 --> 00:34:53,600
Or can you continue to put them approved in the development?

455
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,100
Yeah, I don't have a problem with that at all having it with a contingency.

456
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,540
But right now without water, he can't even try.

457
00:34:59,900 --> 00:34:59,980
Sure.

458
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:00,680
Yeah, he can.

459
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:02,300
There's nothing he can do the way.

460
00:35:02,540 --> 00:35:05,000
Did you have to have a will serve letter at South Liverpool?

461
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:06,180
To the county.

462
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:07,360
From Liverpool City.

463
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,380
I know you have that from South Liverpool to Washington.

464
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:09,900
You might street.

465
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,460
Yeah, they're on the right there next to you.

466
00:35:12,580 --> 00:35:12,780
Yeah.

467
00:35:12,780 --> 00:35:19,080
Yeah, our street but you have a will serve letters so why do the county before I allowed that to turn in with my pack?

468
00:35:19,180 --> 00:35:20,280
Yeah, so

469
00:35:22,460 --> 00:35:25,040
and to Brian's point we're not approving a development tonight

470
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:31,560
That he's still burning still got a lot of work to go through zoning and everything else the counties though on the wouldn't inevitably

471
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,760
approve the development not us

472
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:40,200
That's right. So if we enter into a will serve for a contract for a period of like a year like we just did

473
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,880
Yeah, exactly something like this. Yeah, yeah

474
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,560
The well-served that we just approved has contingencies just like Kelly's mentioning and

475
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,900
no one that it's first come first serve somebody comes in once water

476
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:55,140
While they're still in the planet

477
00:35:56,300 --> 00:35:57,760
It's too late. Yeah

478
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,660
So does any of this south water south of Deweyville make it all the way through

479
00:36:05,140 --> 00:36:06,780
Do you go all of it?

480
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,880
Huge portion of it. I

481
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:15,340
just think about what we're at that does make me a little bit nervous there

482
00:36:23,930 --> 00:36:29,700
But we have water to meet for obligations, correct?

483
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,360
Well, then I don't see.

484
00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:33,880
We have a lot of choice to deny this.

485
00:36:35,540 --> 00:36:37,000
I think we should move forward.

486
00:36:37,180 --> 00:36:38,060
But I've made that motion.

487
00:36:38,540 --> 00:36:42,100
We make a will serve letter for the.

488
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:42,680
What is it?

489
00:36:42,860 --> 00:36:44,280
Sunset, Mr. Subhibition.

490
00:36:46,220 --> 00:36:46,940
For a year.

491
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:50,200
I'll make that motion.

492
00:36:51,820 --> 00:36:53,040
I will second it.

493
00:36:53,180 --> 00:36:56,380
Can we add that contingency into the bridge of that building?

494
00:36:56,860 --> 00:36:57,080
Yeah, absolutely.

495
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,280
I don't want them to add that in there.

496
00:36:58,520 --> 00:36:59,380
Yeah, I can help get them.

497
00:36:59,380 --> 00:37:00,520
It's all getting permitted.

498
00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:05,880
Yeah, and all petitions like this is a conditional approval is what this is.

499
00:37:05,940 --> 00:37:08,880
Vernon still as he moves forward, he'll come back before the board.

500
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,300
Just like we did at our last meeting with the Hawkeway bench.

501
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,380
If he gets further on in the process, he still has to come back for final approval from the board.

502
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,680
So this is not the last time we'll see Vernon.

503
00:37:23,060 --> 00:37:24,220
Unfortunately for everyone.

504
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,040
The point of clarification, I just pulled up that letter from a duty bill.

505
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:39,260
My proposal was introducing half acre zone and then re-zoning the two acres from the current ad 40.

506
00:37:39,260 --> 00:37:45,840
So I think it's the two that's in Deweyville, it was Ag 40, but the one, either way it doesn't

507
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:46,100
matter.

508
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:51,940
It would have to be changed to the zoning to allow us either way, I just read in that because

509
00:37:51,940 --> 00:37:59,280
I thought I remembered the county piece we thought was RR2, but either way it's going

510
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:05,440
to be conditioned on them approving the development and having the correct zoning to do the development

511
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:06,420
like you said.

512
00:38:09,070 --> 00:38:10,610
There's a motion on the table.

513
00:38:11,510 --> 00:38:12,470
Any other discussion?

514
00:38:12,930 --> 00:38:14,110
If not, I'll call for vote.

515
00:38:14,350 --> 00:38:14,830
Colin Favour?

516
00:38:16,050 --> 00:38:16,290
Aye.

517
00:38:16,910 --> 00:38:17,090
Aye.

518
00:38:18,070 --> 00:38:18,370
Opposed?

519
00:38:19,590 --> 00:38:20,590
Motion passes.

520
00:38:23,370 --> 00:38:24,290
Thank you, Vernon.

521
00:38:24,670 --> 00:38:26,210
Appreciate your thanks for all your comments.

522
00:38:26,590 --> 00:38:27,150
I appreciate that.

523
00:38:30,450 --> 00:38:33,570
We're to the Lower Bare River Watershed Plan Agreement.

524
00:38:34,090 --> 00:38:34,810
Amin Boswell.

525
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:39,520
I'm Amin Boswell.

526
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,580
I'm the Watershed Program Manager for the NRCS.

527
00:38:43,580 --> 00:38:50,660
for the state. I believe this agreement was presented to you before, and one of the

528
00:38:50,660 --> 00:38:57,100
issues that you had was it had just your entity on there as a sponsor, and so

529
00:38:57,100 --> 00:39:07,780
after meeting with Chase, Chance, we put all of the, there's nine sponsors on here,

530
00:39:07,780 --> 00:39:11,620
so that way it's not just singling you guys out.

531
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,500
So what this agreement does do,

532
00:39:14,860 --> 00:39:19,820
just to kind of put your mines at rest a little bit.

533
00:39:20,060 --> 00:39:24,760
So the verbiage of here is basically the plan

534
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,640
that we developed for how many every year it was.

535
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,620
It just says, we hereby agree, so the NRCS and the sponsors,

536
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,260
hereby agree on this watershed project plan.

537
00:39:35,260 --> 00:39:51,860
So that's the draft plan that was presented and that the works of improvement for this project will be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the terms, conditions, and stipulations provided in this plan and including in the following.

538
00:39:51,860 --> 00:39:58,200
So they basically this, what you're signing here is these are the terms that you would

539
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,220
be agreeing to when you install.

540
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:09,000
This doesn't financially tie you to anything right now, it doesn't tie you to any operation

541
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:15,380
and maintenance right now, but it does lay out for operation and maintenance.

542
00:40:15,380 --> 00:40:27,120
So for example, operation and maintenance, that it would be for 100 years, the project life would be for 100 years.

543
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,320
So those are the types of things you're doing.

544
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:41,880
In terms of the cost year, because we added all of the sponsors, basically what this table and the numbers that it's presenting

545
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:52,260
is just a representation of what the percentages would be, right, because these are so preliminary,

546
00:40:52,780 --> 00:40:58,860
they're based off of estimates. So they list the numbers of, hey, this is our best guess

547
00:40:58,860 --> 00:41:07,800
of what this will cost, and these are the percentages or the distribution of funds among NRCS and then the

548
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:14,620
partners, but it doesn't necessarily say, hey, you're tied to this, this amount. So before

549
00:41:14,620 --> 00:41:19,660
then you would have to go through the design phase and then in the construction phase and

550
00:41:19,660 --> 00:41:25,870
that's what I want to point out here. So in number 11, it says a separate agreement will

551
00:41:25,870 --> 00:41:31,950
be entered into between NRCS and the sponsors before either party initiates work involving

552
00:41:31,950 --> 00:41:38,510
funds of the other party. Such agreements will set forth in detail the financial and working

553
00:41:38,510 --> 00:41:43,210
arrangements and other conditions that are applicable to the specific works of improvement.

554
00:41:43,510 --> 00:41:49,370
So, again, not financially binding now, just kind of laying out like, hey, this is what

555
00:41:49,370 --> 00:41:49,910
to expect.

556
00:41:50,250 --> 00:41:56,210
These are the percentages, this is what the operation and maintenance terms look like.

557
00:41:57,010 --> 00:42:00,050
And so, that's it.

558
00:42:01,910 --> 00:42:02,750
Any questions?

559
00:42:05,130 --> 00:42:07,430
We did, and that was our big question.

560
00:42:07,430 --> 00:42:10,550
This looks a lot better than the sole sponsor we did,

561
00:42:10,610 --> 00:42:11,710
but there were a lot of other hidden balls.

562
00:42:12,330 --> 00:42:12,990
So, let's clarify.

563
00:42:13,430 --> 00:42:13,530
Yep.

564
00:42:14,330 --> 00:42:15,730
We just want to bring it back before the board.

565
00:42:16,150 --> 00:42:16,810
Now, let's be clarified.

566
00:42:19,050 --> 00:42:20,830
Okay, yeah, we spent a long time on this thing.

567
00:42:21,210 --> 00:42:21,890
Yeah, it's time.

568
00:42:23,410 --> 00:42:24,450
So, now you've got what?

569
00:42:24,830 --> 00:42:26,270
10 different entities on the here.

570
00:42:26,430 --> 00:42:27,390
I think they're nine.

571
00:42:29,590 --> 00:42:33,650
Could you just tell me in a nutshell what some of the projects might look like in the future?

572
00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:38,610
I don't know all the works of it.

573
00:42:38,610 --> 00:42:39,310
I'm going to say that there.

574
00:42:39,490 --> 00:42:39,830
Big much.

575
00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:42,590
Tell me one.

576
00:42:43,710 --> 00:42:44,290
You're guys.

577
00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:46,970
There's like sections of the canal.

578
00:42:47,950 --> 00:42:51,270
The canal being pipe where there's a bunch of erosion.

579
00:42:52,070 --> 00:42:52,330
Okay.

580
00:42:53,670 --> 00:42:54,790
There's that.

581
00:42:55,190 --> 00:42:59,230
I think there's like levies and stuff down by the bird refuge.

582
00:42:59,930 --> 00:43:00,490
There's.

583
00:43:00,550 --> 00:43:00,770
Okay.

584
00:43:08,490 --> 00:43:12,830
Okay, that's good. I just wanted to give you an idea of what's going on.

585
00:43:12,930 --> 00:43:13,210
Okay.

586
00:43:14,570 --> 00:43:16,410
Well, a lot of pipe canals.

587
00:43:16,770 --> 00:43:17,050
Sure.

588
00:43:17,430 --> 00:43:23,090
We had a attorney review this.

589
00:43:23,330 --> 00:43:23,490
No.

590
00:43:23,810 --> 00:43:24,710
No, we have not.

591
00:43:28,650 --> 00:43:30,450
You're comfortable with language, don't you?

592
00:43:30,710 --> 00:43:30,910
Yeah.

593
00:43:30,910 --> 00:43:35,710
Like I said, this just gets us this far.

594
00:43:35,830 --> 00:43:37,710
Once they actually go into engineering

595
00:43:37,710 --> 00:43:40,270
and develop the projects and construct the projects,

596
00:43:40,750 --> 00:43:43,050
all the individual sponsors will have to enter

597
00:43:43,050 --> 00:43:44,870
into individual agreements within RCS.

598
00:43:46,350 --> 00:43:51,310
Well, so the sponsors in order for us to go to construction,

599
00:43:52,090 --> 00:43:56,210
the sponsor has to have taxing authority

600
00:43:56,210 --> 00:43:57,890
and imminent domain.

601
00:43:57,890 --> 00:44:03,350
And so, that's why your entity is the Ed entity.

602
00:44:04,110 --> 00:44:11,310
So even when we come to the construction part, what that's going to look like is you're

603
00:44:11,310 --> 00:44:15,810
going to probably have some kind of inter-, into some kind of agreement which eat with each

604
00:44:15,810 --> 00:44:18,050
entity and kind of be a pass through, right?

605
00:44:18,170 --> 00:44:21,470
I mean, you're kind of like what you're doing for other things.

606
00:44:21,930 --> 00:44:26,430
You're going to be the entity that is the pass through and you're going to have a memorandum

607
00:44:26,430 --> 00:44:32,910
understanding or agreement that you're not financially you know that for this entity they're

608
00:44:32,910 --> 00:44:40,230
going to be the ones in charge of financial aid or over operation of maintenance so just

609
00:44:40,230 --> 00:44:48,910
to be completely upfront. The county did something like this seven week well when I was a commissioner

610
00:44:48,910 --> 00:44:58,170
to rebuild all those levees and flood controls in Blue Creek and the county became the

611
00:44:58,170 --> 00:44:59,970
pass through. And then the

612
00:45:01,140 --> 00:45:10,340
Then the service district out there collected the taxes to pay for the repairs. And so I do get it. I understand what you're doing now.

613
00:45:13,070 --> 00:45:14,190
Any other questions?

614
00:45:33,470 --> 00:45:43,250
our ag water management projects and so the cost share is 75% 25% on those 270

615
00:45:43,250 --> 00:45:48,710
drive yeah up to 75 and then what is that how much in our sases with your already

616
00:45:48,710 --> 00:45:54,950
player yeah so so like on other purposes flood like flood protection water

617
00:45:54,950 --> 00:46:00,750
prevention type purposes those are covered 100% through the NRCS but but

618
00:46:00,750 --> 00:46:02,770
depending on the purpose and I don't remember what all the

619
00:46:02,770 --> 00:46:06,730
purposes are for this particular project but I'm pretty sure

620
00:46:06,730 --> 00:46:10,230
majority of them were Ag Water Management.

621
00:46:10,610 --> 00:46:14,610
Under these projects become a ranking thing that

622
00:46:15,730 --> 00:46:18,270
are aligned with priority type.

623
00:46:18,390 --> 00:46:24,170
Okay so the plan includes all of the improvements

624
00:46:24,830 --> 00:46:26,850
that gets authorized by the chief.

625
00:46:27,690 --> 00:46:29,450
At that point we go into design

626
00:46:29,450 --> 00:46:36,250
and then it kind of depends on after design that's where you want to be is we want

627
00:46:36,250 --> 00:46:41,610
to go through design because that's paid you know when we get the kind of like a

628
00:46:41,610 --> 00:46:49,790
scoping fee from our from you folks that have gotten from an A&E from then we say

629
00:46:49,790 --> 00:46:56,770
okay yeah we cover up to a hundred percent of what was in the agreement and then

630
00:46:56,770 --> 00:46:59,650
And at that point when the design is completed,

631
00:47:02,180 --> 00:47:08,380
we then can phase projects.

632
00:47:09,780 --> 00:47:12,160
So there's eight different, you know, nine different entities.

633
00:47:12,660 --> 00:47:18,520
They may not all have the ability to do it right then or at that time, so you can go

634
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:19,060
into phases.

635
00:47:19,980 --> 00:47:20,060
Okay.

636
00:47:23,300 --> 00:47:30,960
So what do we need, Jay, a motion to discuss this before I went to the, this was the reason

637
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,400
in ways of revealing it.

638
00:47:32,460 --> 00:47:32,580
Yeah.

639
00:47:33,060 --> 00:47:33,920
And you're good with it.

640
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:35,980
You just need a motion to,

641
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,680
oh my God, this morning we'll go ahead.

642
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,260
That will have a very exciting agreement, right?

643
00:47:39,380 --> 00:47:39,680
The chairman.

644
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:40,540
Yeah, the chairman.

645
00:47:40,780 --> 00:47:41,260
I'm not the chairman.

646
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,520
We'll go, the lower mayor of watershed plan agreement.

647
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:46,720
All right, we'll second that.

648
00:47:47,420 --> 00:47:49,500
It's been moved and seconded, all in favor.

649
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:50,360
Hi.

650
00:47:50,940 --> 00:47:51,400
Any opposed?

651
00:47:54,500 --> 00:47:55,120
Thanks, Evan.

652
00:47:55,260 --> 00:47:55,740
Thanks, Evan.

653
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:56,560
Appreciate you.

654
00:48:00,330 --> 00:48:04,730
We welcome Riggum City. It looks like Derek's going to...

655
00:48:04,730 --> 00:48:07,210
How about a good drink of water?

656
00:48:08,770 --> 00:48:09,850
It's a little stronger.

657
00:48:14,570 --> 00:48:15,050
For

658
00:48:25,190 --> 00:48:27,070
team, Mr. Chair, it gets sourced.

659
00:48:27,310 --> 00:48:28,490
Let's just roll right ahead.

660
00:48:28,650 --> 00:48:29,450
We can't hear you anyway.

661
00:48:31,770 --> 00:48:33,350
Chance has got my power point.

662
00:48:33,890 --> 00:48:36,510
Mayor Boats asked me to do a little presentation tonight

663
00:48:36,510 --> 00:48:43,430
about a proposal for Wrigam City has got for the Conservancy District we met last week

664
00:48:43,430 --> 00:48:48,810
with your executive committee so if you view it's going to be a repeat tonight I'll go into

665
00:48:48,810 --> 00:48:53,350
a little bit more color I guess night for the public meeting. Pictures for me right? Yeah I'm very

666
00:48:53,350 --> 00:49:01,330
many so now I'm grateful to be here and chat about this kind of a cool unique opportunity maybe

667
00:49:01,330 --> 00:49:06,370
for the district and bring them City Corporation to discuss and we're excited about it so we're

668
00:49:06,370 --> 00:49:11,590
actually here tonight to discuss Brigham City Corporation mentoring into a

669
00:49:11,590 --> 00:49:16,890
short-term wholesale purchase agreement for some water out of the Harper Ward

670
00:49:16,890 --> 00:49:22,650
well that you guys have been successful in getting online less than a month ago

671
00:49:22,650 --> 00:49:30,250
right chance yeah so yeah I think chances excited the data about switch the

672
00:49:30,250 --> 00:49:34,470
other way and our board is on your own water system so it's been many years you

673
00:49:34,470 --> 00:49:41,110
go to the next one chance. So Brigham City right now we currently our water system currently

674
00:49:41,110 --> 00:49:48,570
serves about 20,000 and 23,000 residents. We have a max capacity roughly 18 to 20 million

675
00:49:48,570 --> 00:49:54,590
gallons a day of water through our system. 60 to roughly 6,800 connections. The reason

676
00:49:54,590 --> 00:50:01,570
I'm here tonight is Brigham City Corporation has just over 3,000 entitled residential units

677
00:50:01,570 --> 00:50:07,350
that are going to be coming online over the next five to 10 years and that

678
00:50:07,350 --> 00:50:15,190
growth is the reason I'm here today to discuss and I think I'll go into this

679
00:50:15,190 --> 00:50:18,830
a little bit more going to go to the next slide so if you look at the

680
00:50:18,830 --> 00:50:24,330
Conservancy District obviously it's been here since 1988 you guys should be

681
00:50:24,330 --> 00:50:28,630
fully aware that you guys are providing your retail municipal and industrial

682
00:50:28,630 --> 00:50:30,350
We'll supply it as you know Riverside,

683
00:50:30,510 --> 00:50:31,570
Turing, North Gardening,

684
00:50:31,670 --> 00:50:33,930
you'd call in St. South, Willard, et cetera.

685
00:50:34,830 --> 00:50:37,210
And you know, most of your connections are wholesale.

686
00:50:37,930 --> 00:50:40,670
And that's exactly what we're here to talk about tonight.

687
00:50:41,030 --> 00:50:43,530
And you know that we just participated

688
00:50:43,530 --> 00:50:47,470
in your county-wide, Doug County-wide master plan.

689
00:50:47,750 --> 00:50:49,510
And I don't think any of us had,

690
00:50:49,710 --> 00:50:53,230
me included, had this conversation on our bingo card

691
00:50:53,230 --> 00:50:54,650
when we went through that process.

692
00:50:54,650 --> 00:50:56,930
But here we are chatting about it tonight.

693
00:50:56,930 --> 00:51:08,950
So good chance. I've taken a look at your guys' kind of whole self-pricing. You'll see this number in a minute, but you guys have been doing some rate increases over the past few years.

694
00:51:09,250 --> 00:51:21,370
I hope I got that right chance. Might be a couple of cents off on some of them, but we're right there at 493 and change in the current whole self-pricing per acre foot on a go-forward.

695
00:51:21,370 --> 00:51:24,010
and that's obviously the district's rate set by this board.

696
00:51:28,330 --> 00:51:31,730
Roughly 3% increase is what you've seen historically.

697
00:51:33,870 --> 00:51:36,410
Yeah, it's a pretty safer.

698
00:51:37,490 --> 00:51:41,790
We did some math over the last 20 years and that's what inflation has been if you averaged

699
00:51:41,790 --> 00:51:47,850
out it's 2.7% and so the district board did instead of having to increase rates every year

700
00:51:47,850 --> 00:51:57,090
have public hearings they approved to do a 3% annual increase for 5 years up to 27 or 28 or is it even or 29?

701
00:51:57,610 --> 00:52:05,630
It was 5 years from 2 years ago. We should be able to see that man kind of go forward and think it's probably about 2 years ago so it's probably 3 more years.

702
00:52:06,170 --> 00:52:08,530
Yep, you got on that one. Yeah, good.

703
00:52:08,530 --> 00:52:16,290
But, you know, you look at the opportunity, like I think we're going to talk about

704
00:52:16,290 --> 00:52:19,930
here tonight and, you know, kind of the reasons for it, obviously, the bearer development

705
00:52:19,930 --> 00:52:24,850
something that was one of the biggest reasons that the bearer water conservancy district was

706
00:52:24,850 --> 00:52:25,230
formed.

707
00:52:25,930 --> 00:52:29,870
Now, I briefly mentioned the county wide master plan that we would recently went through

708
00:52:29,870 --> 00:52:36,810
and I think every single one of us in cities incorporated even little developments of private

709
00:52:36,810 --> 00:52:41,870
in the northern side of our county realize that we all got to work together to make the future

710
00:52:41,870 --> 00:52:46,410
of this county work water wise and I think you know that that opportunity and what we're

711
00:52:46,410 --> 00:52:52,110
here to present tonight is is in line with what the intent of that is and obviously when you look

712
00:52:52,110 --> 00:52:57,950
at infrastructure and sharing infrastructure breaking cities had a lot of emergency connections the other

713
00:52:57,950 --> 00:53:05,030
municipal water systems with even way prior to the the better water conservancy districts exist

714
00:53:05,030 --> 00:53:07,450
and all of those still exist today.

715
00:53:08,090 --> 00:53:11,490
And I think we can continue to do those types of things

716
00:53:12,370 --> 00:53:13,550
county-wide in the future.

717
00:53:13,690 --> 00:53:15,330
I know you guys are working on a lot of stuff

718
00:53:15,330 --> 00:53:17,230
in that kind of northern part of the county

719
00:53:17,230 --> 00:53:18,590
right now with Tremont.

720
00:53:18,870 --> 00:53:19,930
And so go ahead, Chance.

721
00:53:20,690 --> 00:53:25,630
So the kind of the punchline here is our official request.

722
00:53:26,650 --> 00:53:28,830
And like I said, we kind of chatted about this

723
00:53:28,830 --> 00:53:30,530
in your executive committee a week ago.

724
00:53:30,670 --> 00:53:32,990
So I got some of these numbers kind of dialed in with Chance.

725
00:53:32,990 --> 00:53:38,170
but we're breaking cities request is 1.2 million gallons of water a day from the

726
00:53:38,170 --> 00:53:46,010
art of reward system. The capacity of that is I'll put that on social media

727
00:53:46,010 --> 00:53:51,970
just kidding. So 800 gallons a minute I think that chance was comfortable with

728
00:53:51,970 --> 00:53:57,330
that if that's changing to discuss that one I'm done chance but it's approximately

729
00:53:57,330 --> 00:54:04,050
23.6 acre feet of water a year. That would generate your current rates. That would be about

730
00:54:04,050 --> 00:54:08,330
a $662,000 yearly payment from bringing city corporation to the district.

731
00:54:08,930 --> 00:54:13,570
3.68 daily. Correct. I said yearly. Thank you.

732
00:54:16,430 --> 00:54:20,030
The cash or mouth is the yearly figure though. Yes, that's correct.

733
00:54:20,030 --> 00:54:22,930
3.68 acre feet would be daily, right? Yep, that's correct.

734
00:54:22,930 --> 00:54:23,550
Okay, all right.

735
00:54:24,090 --> 00:54:27,330
So the proposal when it's a little unique

736
00:54:27,330 --> 00:54:31,970
and we discuss this in our meeting last week.

737
00:54:32,230 --> 00:54:35,110
So when you guys normally sell wholesale water,

738
00:54:35,150 --> 00:54:37,090
there's an impact fee associated with it

739
00:54:37,090 --> 00:54:40,230
and there's a long term commitment.

740
00:54:40,810 --> 00:54:43,370
Brigham City's request is a short term commitment

741
00:54:44,010 --> 00:54:46,510
and I'll discuss the reasons for that in just a second

742
00:54:46,510 --> 00:54:49,450
but we're asking for a five year contract

743
00:54:49,450 --> 00:54:55,010
active 5-year renewal short-term agreement for the purchase of the water and

744
00:54:55,830 --> 00:55:03,270
we are asking for a 50% reduction in the whole cell rate with this short-term

745
00:55:03,270 --> 00:55:10,870
deal. A couple of reasons for that. First of all, short-term is not a long-term

746
00:55:10,870 --> 00:55:16,530
commitment, a long-term contract, which it may turn into. I discussed that with

747
00:55:16,530 --> 00:55:23,810
the executive committee last week that none of us know what the future holds, and none

748
00:55:23,810 --> 00:55:26,730
of us know the growth and development that's going to happen in our county.

749
00:55:27,330 --> 00:55:32,710
So we would like to leave that option on the table, want to go forward of potentially making

750
00:55:32,710 --> 00:55:37,590
it a permanent purchase, but not in that initial five-year term.

751
00:55:38,530 --> 00:55:42,610
Like I said before, the 3000-plus residential connections is the plan.

752
00:55:42,610 --> 00:55:50,470
And I think to provide a little color, and I'm going to jump out in front of this question

753
00:55:50,470 --> 00:55:53,890
because I got it in our executive committee last week.

754
00:55:54,790 --> 00:55:56,210
Bringing cities got plenty of water.

755
00:55:56,350 --> 00:55:57,030
Why are we sitting here?

756
00:55:57,490 --> 00:55:58,770
Why are we talking about this?

757
00:55:59,390 --> 00:56:03,550
Bringing cities got a lot of water because of a lot of people that existed long before me

758
00:56:03,550 --> 00:56:05,330
and the three gentlemen sitting there.

759
00:56:05,970 --> 00:56:11,570
Bringing cities, water system is what it is today because of people's foresight and future

760
00:56:11,570 --> 00:56:16,170
thinking and we feel like that's this is a continued step in that type of

761
00:56:16,170 --> 00:56:21,150
direction. We do have additional water rights available to put beneficial use

762
00:56:21,150 --> 00:56:27,190
but it is really expensive as you know to put some of those dollars on the

763
00:56:27,190 --> 00:56:31,430
ground immediately to produce some of those water rights and get those to

764
00:56:31,430 --> 00:56:37,250
beneficial use. Brigham City has currently got over $40 million out in

765
00:56:37,250 --> 00:56:42,490
projects with waters right now as we speak. I don't have the cash right now the

766
00:56:42,490 --> 00:56:48,370
drill and other well and this is a short-term opportunity for Brigham City and

767
00:56:48,370 --> 00:56:54,770
the district in my opinion on the can benefit both of us greatly. You know

768
00:56:54,770 --> 00:57:01,770
some of those benefits for both parties in my opinion are obviously cash to

769
00:57:01,770 --> 00:57:09,630
district immediately as we move forward with the purchase like this. I realize I'm sitting here

770
00:57:09,630 --> 00:57:14,810
asking for a discount on that and you know it's there's a reason for that it's because it's not

771
00:57:14,810 --> 00:57:23,570
necessarily an absolute have to but I will tell you that you know this I guess late spring or

772
00:57:23,570 --> 00:57:28,290
early summer we had a catastrophic failure of our spring source is coming out of my own way

773
00:57:28,290 --> 00:57:34,290
And there was about 30 days there that these three people and myself were looking each

774
00:57:34,290 --> 00:57:40,950
other wondering if we're going to have to do a slow to flow in Brigham City because

775
00:57:40,950 --> 00:57:42,070
of what was going on there.

776
00:57:42,210 --> 00:57:46,610
Those things happen, especially when you have as many sources as we do, the summer before

777
00:57:47,030 --> 00:57:51,770
the biggest producing well in the county which Brigham City homes was down for about 90 days.

778
00:57:52,190 --> 00:57:55,230
And it's a big deal when you're lost a source like that.

779
00:57:55,230 --> 00:57:58,730
when you're when you're putting 19 million gallons of water out in your

780
00:57:58,730 --> 00:58:05,710
community and so this is for redundancy this is to help us for situations like

781
00:58:05,710 --> 00:58:11,310
this and we also feel like it's a unique opportunity for the district to work

782
00:58:11,310 --> 00:58:17,750
with Brigham City Corporation. I don't want to go over spilled milk frankly but

783
00:58:17,750 --> 00:58:21,530
I've been in front of this board as it is representing Brigham City multiple

784
00:58:21,530 --> 00:58:26,210
multiple times in the past, and I think this is an opportunity for us to, as a district

785
00:58:26,210 --> 00:58:30,530
and bring them city corporations that put the past behind us and make some steps forward

786
00:58:30,530 --> 00:58:34,830
in the right direction. And that's why I'm here. I think a couple other things with

787
00:58:34,830 --> 00:58:41,350
redundancy. It's two ways. Chance understands this, and I'll give a chance, a chance. That's

788
00:58:41,350 --> 00:58:47,510
a tough one there. Sorry, a chance. To talk about it in a second, but that emergency connection

789
00:58:47,510 --> 00:58:49,510
and goes both ways, not hard-per-ward system.

790
00:58:50,110 --> 00:58:53,550
Our ability to feed the hard-per-ward system is obviously there.

791
00:58:53,650 --> 00:58:55,670
We've been doing it for 40 years,

792
00:58:55,670 --> 00:58:58,770
and if something was to happen to the hard-per-ward system

793
00:58:58,770 --> 00:58:59,750
or the hard-per-ward well,

794
00:59:00,450 --> 00:59:02,130
it's part of this agreement that Graeme City

795
00:59:02,130 --> 00:59:05,610
would honor an emergency connection to feed that way,

796
00:59:06,350 --> 00:59:09,070
as long as Canyon ULA is working

797
00:59:09,070 --> 00:59:11,750
and the pipeline coming out of Manoway

798
00:59:11,750 --> 00:59:13,710
is not ready to wash 89 down the canyon.

799
00:59:13,710 --> 00:59:20,390
Yeah, so I feel like you folks have missed anything.

800
00:59:21,670 --> 00:59:26,230
I think the chance probably to talk about the event that is ready for the well.

801
00:59:26,730 --> 00:59:33,710
Yeah, as we talk about redundancy, we have developed a really good source in Harper Ward.

802
00:59:34,510 --> 00:59:35,410
It's a month old.

803
00:59:36,370 --> 00:59:38,530
We don't know, there's no way of knowing for sure.

804
00:59:38,790 --> 00:59:40,970
I mean we've done all the engineering and preliminary work

805
00:59:40,970 --> 00:59:44,890
and spent I think just under $5 million

806
00:59:44,890 --> 00:59:49,090
developing that source, hoping that it'll be a good source forever,

807
00:59:49,110 --> 00:59:50,690
but we just don't know honestly.

808
00:59:52,210 --> 00:59:55,610
So redundancy is always a great thing.

809
00:59:56,170 --> 00:59:59,630
The district is a whole as we operate water systems throughout the county.

810
01:00:01,810 --> 01:00:17,630
We are people's fallback in all of our other water systems, but nobody backs us up. That being said, this agreement, or working with Brigham City here, it would be the only water system that we operate that would actually have a fallback plan.

811
01:00:19,870 --> 01:00:25,450
Very soon in the future, I think the Harperward system will provide water to West Crinn water.

812
01:00:25,570 --> 01:00:27,390
We've already committed 200 acre feet.

813
01:00:27,490 --> 01:00:33,310
Additional 200 acre feet to West Crinn waters were a total of 400 acre feet total coming from

814
01:00:33,310 --> 01:00:33,870
Harperward.

815
01:00:34,190 --> 01:00:34,490
I see.

816
01:00:34,650 --> 01:00:36,050
He is not.

817
01:00:36,470 --> 01:00:36,930
He is not.

818
01:00:37,290 --> 01:00:43,230
He's still working through some things, but they began taking water out of the Harperward system.

819
01:00:45,090 --> 01:00:50,090
Their current contract out of Both will allow them to move half of it to a harbor ward upon its completion,

820
01:00:50,090 --> 01:00:53,930
which we began working through the operations of doing that.

821
01:00:54,930 --> 01:00:58,270
Krin City has expressed interest in buying water from the district in the future.

822
01:00:58,570 --> 01:01:03,290
They're not ready to do so right now, but they do have one source that they could develop,

823
01:01:03,390 --> 01:01:09,830
but then after that they're out, so they would rely on the Conservancy District for future water after that time.

824
01:01:10,790 --> 01:01:14,370
So the district's going to make out, well I guess we've got Honeyville too.

825
01:01:16,030 --> 01:01:20,310
Honeyville hasn't expressed any interest, did you have a chance to talk to Bruce at all about that?

826
01:01:20,610 --> 01:01:25,530
But in conversations I've had with Bruce in the past, he feels that Honeyville's okay right now,

827
01:01:25,770 --> 01:01:30,650
but we all know your pipeline can break coming out of the canyon and things can change.

828
01:01:31,490 --> 01:01:37,810
And so there is a connection that the district could supply water to Honeyville in an emergency situation or also.

829
01:01:38,590 --> 01:01:48,450
And so I think redundancy is extremely important as we enter into different agreements and essentially pushing this water throughout this entire valley.

830
01:01:50,630 --> 01:02:07,790
Is that-

831
01:02:07,790 --> 01:02:09,870
We've been deducted for it to get to freedom cities.

832
01:02:10,610 --> 01:02:15,570
Yeah, we've done some high-level modeling and just capacity stuff.

833
01:02:15,850 --> 01:02:21,210
We need to nail that down, that's, we just didn't want to get way into the weeds before we had these discussions.

834
01:02:21,570 --> 01:02:27,510
But we do have ample water to make these deliveries, as we speak,

835
01:02:31,180 --> 01:02:32,000
that I miss anything.

836
01:02:33,020 --> 01:02:40,640
I guess, I don't think I would add chance in Fender and Krippen-Ranon, but this is a discussion to see whether or not the discussions move forward in negotiation and more.

837
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,640
discovery on this, not so much a decision and I don't know whether or not this should

838
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:44,740
be done at all.

839
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,620
Yeah, and a chance, if you want to talk about that, it sounds like we're going to need

840
01:02:48,620 --> 01:02:57,400
a booster station with that request initially, but a chance and I discussed it, I'll speak

841
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:01,800
for you, I guess, for a second, a chance and I discussed it, and we're going to need to spend

842
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,540
engineering money on figuring out how to do it, neither one of us wants to spend any money

843
01:03:05,540 --> 01:03:10,580
the board is not supportive of the idea so and like I said we've just took a

844
01:03:10,580 --> 01:03:15,460
high-level approach here we can be of some order to Brigham City immediately

845
01:03:15,460 --> 01:03:22,840
there's about a 12 psi difference between our two cities but this volume of

846
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:28,860
water would need pumping to achieve that so would that pump be Brigham

847
01:03:28,860 --> 01:03:36,340
cities or ours I would as I thought about in our conversations last week I think

848
01:03:36,340 --> 01:03:38,320
I think it would be hours where we're making commitments.

849
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,120
The pump station would benefit more than just Brigham City.

850
01:03:41,740 --> 01:03:44,880
It would benefit all the other cities that could take water from us in the future.

851
01:03:47,460 --> 01:03:49,840
So I would think it would be hours.

852
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:54,280
Where would that be at the south of the T that goes out

853
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,840
to the Korean or north of the T?

854
01:03:59,340 --> 01:03:59,840
We'd go north.

855
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:01,840
We'd go north.

856
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,360
The hydrology of it once the engineers both Brigham City, the engineers and hours,

857
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:12,540
Well, identify the most efficient location, but as I just roughly think about it, I'm thinking north,

858
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:17,620
a number of miles north of both the west Korean connection and the Korean city connection.

859
01:04:20,420 --> 01:04:29,110
Yeah, I do have any details apparently exactly what he's made with. I'm all in favor of cooperation with the Brigham City and working out

860
01:04:29,110 --> 01:04:31,390
something we do here. A couple of questions I've got.

861
01:04:32,610 --> 01:04:36,990
Why the short-term agreement that you'll how come you're going on your five or ten years?

862
01:04:36,990 --> 01:04:42,950
What you go plans just bring the city's got additional water. It's put beneficial use

863
01:04:42,950 --> 01:04:47,490
so you know you have to make it it's a financial decision essentially so

864
01:04:47,490 --> 01:04:52,210
there's a tipping point with with every project financially and you know

865
01:04:52,210 --> 01:04:56,470
does it make sense for bring-and-see corporation to keep paying the district into

866
01:04:56,470 --> 01:05:04,790
perpetuity for $331,000 a year or put

867
01:05:05,830 --> 01:05:11,030
I see 662 here, but the proposal is 50% of it.

868
01:05:11,470 --> 01:05:13,230
That was going to be the next question.

869
01:05:14,130 --> 01:05:20,010
How do we justify, I mean, I'm willing to negotiate and deal with it.

870
01:05:20,010 --> 01:05:22,750
How do we tell our other wholesale customers?

871
01:05:23,010 --> 01:05:25,910
How do we justify, we're like a better word that we're selling.

872
01:05:26,030 --> 01:05:28,150
Bring them to the earth and we ain't giving them back.

873
01:05:28,810 --> 01:05:30,630
But we've got to have a good reason.

874
01:05:30,630 --> 01:05:35,510
It's a tree mine comes next month and they want their 50% discount, the water we're selling

875
01:05:35,510 --> 01:05:37,430
in for your sand.

876
01:05:37,970 --> 01:05:38,770
Yeah, that's great.

877
01:05:39,310 --> 01:05:41,530
The water comes back and said, wait a minute, you told me this price.

878
01:05:41,670 --> 01:05:42,690
So I got an idea on that.

879
01:05:42,870 --> 01:05:49,570
I think this is great, but what you mentioned you had $40 million in water projects out there

880
01:05:49,570 --> 01:05:49,990
right now.

881
01:05:50,770 --> 01:05:55,030
Why could we do some kind of, I think we need to keep that, we set their wholesale rate

882
01:05:55,030 --> 01:05:59,150
at a rate and we need to be consistent with it, whatever that rate is, but maybe we could

883
01:05:59,150 --> 01:06:02,670
You could do some kind of a, you could, we talked about doing a project and maybe helping

884
01:06:02,670 --> 01:06:05,810
you in a project and maybe get your, your value back.

885
01:06:07,010 --> 01:06:09,670
Yeah, and I felt, we felt like we did to do something for breakmen.

886
01:06:09,870 --> 01:06:14,110
And that goes back to that history we're talking about concerns and then some of the

887
01:06:14,110 --> 01:06:14,910
feelings about it.

888
01:06:14,990 --> 01:06:19,870
But you're something in time to where we would help find some of the things that I'm saying

889
01:06:19,870 --> 01:06:21,430
is working on sound.

890
01:06:21,550 --> 01:06:21,710
Yeah, all I'm saying is working on sound.

891
01:06:22,230 --> 01:06:26,610
Same for does, when it does is how are we going to explain that to anybody or other customers.

892
01:06:26,610 --> 01:06:38,930
I'm not ready to sell them the water, and if it's a short term deal that you don't need it, but I'm just wondering how I'm going to answer to somebody else, or wheelers aboard.

893
01:06:39,970 --> 01:06:42,070
If we got good reason, then I can defend it.

894
01:06:42,430 --> 01:06:44,670
Well, don't we keep the rate the same, and we help them out somewhere else.

895
01:06:44,670 --> 01:06:52,230
Well, I guess the request I officially made to the executive committee for even

896
01:06:52,230 --> 01:06:57,870
City will pay the $662,000 a year to the district. I'm asking for a reimbursement of up to

897
01:06:58,790 --> 01:07:05,450
$330,000 of $331,000 of that back for us to continue with our water projects for the terms

898
01:07:05,450 --> 01:07:10,170
of the contract. So 50% of it will be returned to the city for us to spend on water projects

899
01:07:10,170 --> 01:07:15,690
in the city. That's my specific request. That makes sense, because that goes to what

900
01:07:15,690 --> 01:07:21,930
you're talking about, Kelly. So what's your cost per acre on that water coming out of

901
01:07:21,930 --> 01:07:26,650
that new well? To produce it. I don't know yet, for sure. I haven't even got the first

902
01:07:26,650 --> 01:07:31,090
power bill off of it yet to know it. And especially at this level, that would be part of our analysis

903
01:07:31,570 --> 01:07:36,930
is to see with the pump efficiency and power bills. Yeah, that's one thing we don't want

904
01:07:36,930 --> 01:07:42,510
do is we dinner into this agreement but if we wind up with some additional

905
01:07:42,510 --> 01:07:46,870
costeter. Absolutely lunch and we might be on the backside of and that'd be

906
01:07:46,870 --> 01:07:52,610
that part of the discovery as we if we choose to move forward then that's

907
01:07:52,610 --> 01:07:56,690
why we're just talking at a pretty high level. I can't write down a set

908
01:07:56,690 --> 01:08:03,390
to go through the screen. So going back the 23,000 right out to get gate and 6,800

909
01:08:03,390 --> 01:08:12,190
connection is what you currently have and 20,000, 18, 20, and per day an additional 3,000 connections

910
01:08:12,190 --> 01:08:15,850
that's what we're looking at in the next five to ten years. That's what we currently

911
01:08:15,850 --> 01:08:20,530
have in title through zoning and approval of the city. Yeah, that was the word I wrote

912
01:08:20,530 --> 01:08:24,610
down in title. It title when it gets by taking what do you mean in title two?

913
01:08:24,910 --> 01:08:30,510
City Councils approved subdivisions and they're just waiting for construction. A lot of them

914
01:08:30,510 --> 01:08:30,990
We're growing in.

915
01:08:31,190 --> 01:08:32,390
You guys are growing pretty good.

916
01:08:32,410 --> 01:08:35,050
3,000 new homes in the next building.

917
01:08:38,700 --> 01:08:40,040
You know any building inspectors?

918
01:08:41,500 --> 01:08:42,120
What happened?

919
01:08:42,340 --> 01:08:42,680
What's the name?

920
01:08:42,780 --> 01:08:43,800
He doesn't expect any more.

921
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:47,400
I can't remember his name.

922
01:08:47,420 --> 01:08:48,860
He went to work for Chamber of the City.

923
01:08:49,660 --> 01:08:50,280
Oh, yeah.

924
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:51,400
Kirk.

925
01:08:52,220 --> 01:08:52,960
Or, I didn't know that.

926
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:57,420
Tim, I can answer your question.

927
01:08:57,620 --> 01:08:59,420
I think it's a board question, though.

928
01:08:59,900 --> 01:09:07,300
I don't think it's my role to answer the question of, I give you my opinion, of why it makes

929
01:09:07,300 --> 01:09:12,440
make sense to mean that Brigham City should get a 50% reduction in the purchase of temporary

930
01:09:12,440 --> 01:09:18,760
water as compared to Tremonton or somebody else's long-term commitment or the valve will

931
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,380
never shut off and their subject impact fees.

932
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:22,920
This is not that request.

933
01:09:24,740 --> 01:09:25,700
I'll look at it.

934
01:09:25,740 --> 01:09:26,460
I'm going to look at it.

935
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:26,840
It's going to be different.

936
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:31,580
Good reason to defend our decision if in fact we decided to go forward will have to defend

937
01:09:31,580 --> 01:09:31,860
it.

938
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:32,900
Yeah.

939
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,980
I mean at the point in time Brigham City would make this permanent if it did were subject

940
01:09:36,980 --> 01:09:41,020
every impact fee that anybody else is subject to and we're subject to the exact same rate.

941
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:41,580
Okay.

942
01:09:41,700 --> 01:09:42,300
But that's the order.

943
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:43,340
Board for temporary.

944
01:09:43,940 --> 01:09:46,540
The shorty comes permanent and you're going to pay the same to the other body else

945
01:09:46,540 --> 01:09:46,700
though.

946
01:09:46,900 --> 01:09:47,400
We'd have to.

947
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:48,560
Yeah.

948
01:09:48,820 --> 01:09:53,700
That's the way this board is about to do your resolutions and ordinances and we'd be subject

949
01:09:53,700 --> 01:09:54,200
to the same.

950
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:55,200
What does it do?

951
01:09:55,260 --> 01:09:58,640
So if you guys get through some of these water projects that you're trying to accomplish

952
01:09:58,640 --> 01:09:59,100
right now.

953
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,220
I think it helps chance proof up on what's there.

954
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:03,240
There's a lot.

955
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:06,580
Yeah, the water's not proofed on at this point in time.

956
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:12,920
I don't think anybody in the entire county's got the capacity of a water system to flow that through it to actually proof that.

957
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,460
I think there's a lot of benefit to the district, in my opinion.

958
01:10:17,220 --> 01:10:21,660
But I think, I think, in the board should discuss that maybe not necessarily move myself.

959
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,740
How much time we've got to prove beneficial use to proof up on water?

960
01:10:27,300 --> 01:10:32,080
We've got, I'll very municipalities have four years or 40 years to do that.

961
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:37,660
plus a four-year extension. Yeah, plus a 40-year extension. I don't even get 40. 40-year.

962
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:42,240
Four zero extension. In other words, we won't be around when I am.

963
01:10:43,980 --> 01:10:50,940
It's more water out of my well. I want to prove up some more. Well, what? Yeah, it's not an action item.

964
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:57,480
No, we're just talking. But I, in my opinion, I think we should move forward with discussion

965
01:10:57,480 --> 01:10:58,620
You know, it's even works out now.

966
01:10:59,060 --> 01:11:01,480
That's much docent or motion

967
01:11:05,290 --> 01:11:06,250
on that or no.

968
01:11:06,250 --> 01:11:07,370
No, no, no.

969
01:11:07,410 --> 01:11:08,810
No action, no action.

970
01:11:09,070 --> 01:11:10,770
So it just gives me direction to begin.

971
01:11:11,010 --> 01:11:12,510
I just, I like what I'm seeing here.

972
01:11:12,630 --> 01:11:15,290
I think this is, you know, it got some good possibilities.

973
01:11:16,070 --> 01:11:16,430
I really do.

974
01:11:18,070 --> 01:11:21,070
For the district and for the city.

975
01:11:21,530 --> 01:11:21,670
Yeah.

976
01:11:22,090 --> 01:11:24,950
It'd be a really first time in the history

977
01:11:24,950 --> 01:11:30,970
of the district to help the people who have contributed

978
01:11:30,970 --> 01:11:35,070
did most of it. Well, I agree. That's what I said. I mean, at least time we did something.

979
01:11:35,510 --> 01:11:47,090
Yeah. That's not 100% true though. According to money. Well, okay, whatever.

980
01:11:49,110 --> 01:11:49,930
Well, I'm

981
01:11:49,930 --> 01:11:50,070
just.

982
01:11:52,570 --> 01:11:56,030
And if you want to point something out that they've done in the past, I'd be glad

983
01:11:56,030 --> 01:12:04,030
here but it's been far and back of my memory I can't remember. I'm not disputing

984
01:12:04,030 --> 01:12:10,990
that. Brigham City's in the time I've been here has never came with an ask but

985
01:12:10,990 --> 01:12:18,630
apparently historically there were some things that were done that so how we

986
01:12:18,630 --> 01:12:24,230
phrase it I guess tomato tomato I don't know. Very good. More importantly they're

987
01:12:24,230 --> 01:12:34,610
and we welcome this discussion, certainly, with open arms and have a desire to work together.

988
01:12:34,990 --> 01:12:37,870
I don't see anything around with hooking, you know, and selling water.

989
01:12:38,510 --> 01:12:42,250
I do have some art learned with a 50% deal level.

990
01:12:42,550 --> 01:12:50,070
I think that's going to, I mean, especially where we have West Korean to the penny on their ask a couple of months ago.

991
01:12:50,070 --> 01:12:56,950
you know what I mean and we haven't and so I I don't think we can come off on the

992
01:12:56,950 --> 01:13:00,990
price I think it's just the price of the price but if we can help them in other

993
01:13:00,990 --> 01:13:09,830
areas like Kelly's doing yeah just dollars and cents yeah that's what our bottom line

994
01:13:09,830 --> 01:13:14,790
is to absolutely yeah make sure our bottom line is good and then do this thing with

995
01:13:14,790 --> 01:13:21,430
the 50% pass through which basically that 50% of what they pay would be passing back

996
01:13:21,430 --> 01:13:23,750
to them and to help these projects.

997
01:13:24,390 --> 01:13:27,270
But then, but I mean, it's true, I'm going to come to the table and be like, we want

998
01:13:27,270 --> 01:13:28,750
50% of our money back to you.

999
01:13:29,570 --> 01:13:35,070
But I think we need to keep in mind their agreement, it's a different agreement, they're talking

1000
01:13:35,610 --> 01:13:40,250
long-term, committed, and so there's...

1001
01:13:40,250 --> 01:13:41,870
But I mean, I'm not against it.

1002
01:13:42,290 --> 01:13:45,230
I'm not even against, I've just said it was,

1003
01:13:45,330 --> 01:13:47,170
but I'm really not against the 50% reduction,

1004
01:13:47,570 --> 01:13:48,730
either in principle.

1005
01:13:50,050 --> 01:13:52,150
I think it's just fine that the deal of rigidity,

1006
01:13:52,370 --> 01:13:54,550
but I'm just thinking everybody else is.

1007
01:13:55,390 --> 01:13:58,610
So where did we come up with a 50%?

1008
01:13:58,990 --> 01:14:02,750
I mean, could we go 60% or 75%?

1009
01:14:03,070 --> 01:14:05,590
I mean, or go 20%.

1010
01:14:05,590 --> 01:14:08,210
Where did you come up with a 50% is what I would like.

1011
01:14:08,210 --> 01:14:16,330
It's a financial analysis on our part on putting more infrastructure in the ground to drill them another well over a five or a ten-year period, frankly.

1012
01:14:16,930 --> 01:14:30,370
I thought there's a tipping point financially for us as a city that makes sense financially that if it's more expensive than it's going to cost me to do my own infrastructure, then that's where you're going.

1013
01:14:31,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Like I said, and I think I think it's a unique opportunity, but no one's going to walk

1014
01:14:37,530 --> 01:14:43,550
in this door and tell you I'm going to write you a check for $331,000 a year, I think everybody

1015
01:14:43,550 --> 01:14:44,350
understands that.

1016
01:14:44,570 --> 01:14:49,170
Oh yeah, I just wondered why the 50, you know.

1017
01:14:50,370 --> 01:14:57,330
Well I think in principle too, we'll approve this, we'd have to, it would be very complicated

1018
01:14:57,330 --> 01:14:59,770
They're like you said, to do a 50% degree degree, so you can't.

1019
01:15:00,300 --> 01:15:22,120
But the way the books would work is we would receive payment of $662,000 a year from Brigham City, and in turn, there would be commitments that would be a separate line item. We have one in our books currently. It's called contributions to other governments. We use it to do projects all over the county. That's where that money would be returned, which would really clear up that issue of Tremont City coming back.

1020
01:15:24,860 --> 01:15:27,960
Paying the same rate, but there's an agreement that we are committing

1021
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:34,940
through contributions of other governments back to to Brigham City into the future for the length of this contract.

1022
01:15:35,260 --> 01:15:38,340
So Jamie, is this deal on? We get recorded on everything in a minute.

1023
01:15:38,740 --> 01:15:39,600
Yes, every time.

1024
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,240
You're always live Tim.

1025
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,720
Don't want to talk about Dave's funeral and come get lost.

1026
01:15:50,180 --> 01:15:50,700
No.

1027
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:56,880
We never get remote mics, so don't let Tim have when we walk in here.

1028
01:15:57,420 --> 01:15:59,320
It's a pretty good YouTube videos of that.

1029
01:16:01,780 --> 01:16:10,000
I think I've got some direction from the board that we can begin looking at this a little deeper

1030
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:11,700
and see what it's actually going to take.

1031
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,960
Is that an agreeance there?

1032
01:16:15,440 --> 01:16:16,540
I think we're all agreeance.

1033
01:16:16,740 --> 01:16:18,040
That's why you move forward.

1034
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:19,120
I like it.

1035
01:16:19,500 --> 01:16:21,300
You want to go 70% off?

1036
01:16:21,460 --> 01:16:22,180
We can bet it.

1037
01:16:22,460 --> 01:16:24,520
No, I have to say that.

1038
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:25,340
I have to say that.

1039
01:16:25,340 --> 01:16:26,320
You're not present.

1040
01:16:26,540 --> 01:16:27,020
Let's do it.

1041
01:16:27,980 --> 01:16:28,700
Christmas is coming.

1042
01:16:29,140 --> 01:16:30,780
Christmas is coming.

1043
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:33,360
Well, I was thinking you pay 75%.

1044
01:16:33,620 --> 01:16:33,740
Okay.

1045
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,320
I was thinking you pay 75%.

1046
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:38,640
Yeah, I heard that.

1047
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,360
That's the last way the 75% paid for.

1048
01:16:44,500 --> 01:16:46,560
Okay, anything else you've got, Derry?

1049
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:46,900
Thanks.

1050
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:47,160
Sure.

1051
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:48,020
We feel like we can do it.

1052
01:16:48,020 --> 01:16:50,500
We've got a direction here to move forward.

1053
01:16:50,820 --> 01:16:52,880
Thank you guys for bringing that to us, that's awesome.

1054
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:53,620
Start working.

1055
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:55,540
So we appreciate your time.

1056
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:57,040
Chance you and Mike go to work.

1057
01:16:57,840 --> 01:16:58,240
My favorite thing.

1058
01:16:58,800 --> 01:16:59,200
Thank you.

1059
01:16:59,560 --> 01:16:59,840
hydraulics.

1060
01:17:00,820 --> 01:17:01,220
Our

1061
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:09,660
nexus just abandoned us.

1062
01:17:09,740 --> 01:17:10,320
No, we don't need it.

1063
01:17:12,060 --> 01:17:13,660
There's something I don't have anywhere.

1064
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:15,240
It was just as if it's needed.

1065
01:17:15,860 --> 01:17:16,020
All right.

1066
01:17:18,420 --> 01:17:19,060
Thanks, Mayor.

1067
01:17:19,440 --> 01:17:19,560
Yeah.

1068
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:20,980
Thanks for all of you.

1069
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:22,560
Good to see you getting remiss, you.

1070
01:17:32,910 --> 01:17:41,050
So we have no no need to go in close session tonight. So we're to the public comments section and I I see no public now.

1071
01:17:41,290 --> 01:17:49,630
Everybody's gone. No, we don't need to go into one. It's just it's on the agenda in case we did, but we're good.

1072
01:17:50,990 --> 01:17:56,490
so we'll start here with prestige reports and I don't have anything at the

1073
01:17:56,490 --> 01:18:02,430
moment I am trying to get a hold of Bruce Nelson to talk about that if he

1074
01:18:02,430 --> 01:18:08,530
needs water at all and he's been unavailable he's he's young and in love

1075
01:18:08,530 --> 01:18:12,930
give him some slack so I hear I talked to him to smile did he get married?

1076
01:18:12,930 --> 01:18:24,210
excuse me? It's getting married. He's not married now. A couple weeks. Okay. But I will get a hold of him and talk about that. But otherwise, nothing.

1077
01:18:24,790 --> 01:18:29,470
Mike. I don't have anything. Are you? Nope. I'm good. No.

1078
01:18:31,770 --> 01:18:32,990
I would call man. None.

1079
01:18:35,380 --> 01:18:39,400
I mean, where do you, Tim? No story is just a report.

1080
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,440
No, not a data center, just a report.

1081
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:50,400
No report that if you don't want to talk about the data center now I can let's say what

1082
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:50,840
of it.

1083
01:18:51,420 --> 01:18:52,900
No, I don't mean to.

1084
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:54,100
I'm not sure yet.

1085
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,600
Well, it's in my area, but what a shit show.

1086
01:18:59,700 --> 01:19:01,000
Well, that's on this board.

1087
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,360
Who knows where that deal is going to end up.

1088
01:19:05,780 --> 01:19:06,860
That's a good question.

1089
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:08,160
Are they hunting water now?

1090
01:19:08,780 --> 01:19:10,120
Sure they are, but yeah.

1091
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:15,680
Yeah, since I can say that any more, I might be in any word of discussion.

1092
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:19,540
I've talked to anybody for two, three weeks, it's still on the agenda.

1093
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:23,580
It's obviously in my area, it's a hot button issue, which we all know.

1094
01:19:25,860 --> 01:19:29,570
So I don't know what that is.

1095
01:19:29,570 --> 01:19:38,410
They would throw their application to change you views with drawn, so it's just waiting.

1096
01:19:38,970 --> 01:19:42,070
I don't know what he's looking to put it back in again, but that's not going to happen.

1097
01:19:42,070 --> 01:19:49,090
The hell it is, now, we're under the microscope, me, my boy's anything for a colon error

1098
01:19:49,090 --> 01:19:54,010
stock well, anything, anybody drive it down the road, somebody's, yeah I'm taking a picture

1099
01:19:54,010 --> 01:20:00,130
and looking at it's like holy moly, whoever dreamed of what's going on, but that's the deal

1100
01:20:00,130 --> 01:20:07,050
I just hope, well I'm the only way out there with the irrigation well, the several colonering

1101
01:20:07,050 --> 01:20:12,610
Well, like I said, it waits to see if still big if I think whether it's going to

1102
01:20:13,550 --> 01:20:15,310
materialize more likely will that

1103
01:20:16,010 --> 01:20:18,950
It could be longer in time than the plans

1104
01:20:21,860 --> 01:20:24,640
Okay, that's the end of my report. Thank you

1105
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:25,480
mission

1106
01:20:26,380 --> 01:20:30,640
Jamie, anything you need to straighten us out on? No

1107
01:20:31,980 --> 01:20:35,980
No, thanks for coming to get pictures. Yeah, everybody is tended

1108
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:38,640
Did you guys get them? Oh man

1109
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:40,000
And we'll have you put up there.

1110
01:20:40,060 --> 01:20:40,660
Now hold this.

1111
01:20:42,460 --> 01:20:45,560
I'm talking at social there, I figured I had an hour to kill

1112
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:46,480
and then I looked at my watches.

1113
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:47,540
By go.

1114
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:47,900
You're right.

1115
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:53,500
Surprisingly, from a canal standpoint,

1116
01:20:54,900 --> 01:20:57,800
we've gone on natural flow a lot longer

1117
01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:59,840
than we ever anticipated with this spring.

1118
01:21:00,980 --> 01:21:01,600
That's been good.

1119
01:21:02,180 --> 01:21:03,320
It was longer than you thought.

1120
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:03,940
Yeah, really.

1121
01:21:04,180 --> 01:21:04,320
Yeah.

1122
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:06,140
When they go on barely.

1123
01:21:06,140 --> 01:21:08,960
like two weeks ago, I think, really?

1124
01:21:09,180 --> 01:21:09,420
I made it.

1125
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:10,840
That's what I thought.

1126
01:21:11,700 --> 01:21:14,780
So now what, that being said, now you're pulling out of the way?

1127
01:21:15,100 --> 01:21:15,420
Yes.

1128
01:21:16,940 --> 01:21:18,740
I didn't have lunch or dinner.

1129
01:21:18,780 --> 01:21:21,840
We could go to night with the governor of Idaho

1130
01:21:23,460 --> 01:21:27,440
and commissioner or dip, who the next guy in line is.

1131
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,460
We could lieutenant and governor Scott Bedke,

1132
01:21:31,180 --> 01:21:32,180
and quite a discussion.

1133
01:21:32,380 --> 01:21:33,820
They're actually coming back the next day,

1134
01:21:33,820 --> 01:21:38,680
40-minute conversation on several things, water, and then I was at the ICA meeting,

1135
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:43,480
I don't count them in chairman of the Idle Water Resource Board spoke to us yesterday.

1136
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:49,580
Jeff, somebody, Jeff, and another guy with him, and yeah, the water's a big,

1137
01:21:49,780 --> 01:21:51,560
I'm everywhere, and we know that, but you guys.

1138
01:21:54,270 --> 01:21:55,950
Yeah, I was trying too, isn't it?

1139
01:21:56,630 --> 01:21:56,830
Pardon?

1140
01:21:57,270 --> 01:21:58,710
I hope it's dry as well.

1141
01:21:59,250 --> 01:22:04,730
Yeah, the canal company's in a search for some management talent,

1142
01:22:04,730 --> 01:22:11,770
and we interviewed a guy from Gunnison that they had like 2% water.

1143
01:22:12,650 --> 01:22:13,510
That's all he's getting?

1144
01:22:13,750 --> 01:22:14,530
That's all they had.

1145
01:22:15,210 --> 01:22:17,610
When we interviewed him a week ago, they were done.

1146
01:22:18,450 --> 01:22:19,130
No water left.

1147
01:22:19,650 --> 01:22:22,530
I think the Ogden Valley their last day was Sunday.

1148
01:22:23,330 --> 01:22:25,690
I didn't get specific with the government brand a little bit.

1149
01:22:25,790 --> 01:22:28,810
We thought it was just, or just steal the kind I'm having.

1150
01:22:29,770 --> 01:22:29,950
Yeah.

1151
01:22:32,970 --> 01:22:34,610
Well, we didn't even turn on.

1152
01:22:34,610 --> 01:22:38,470
or we are ready to water, they don't really shut off that early water.

1153
01:22:40,510 --> 01:22:42,230
We're pretty blessed here.

1154
01:22:42,770 --> 01:22:43,370
Yeah, we are.

1155
01:22:43,470 --> 01:22:47,630
Actually, I was up in the hills up above Logan and up there.

1156
01:22:47,850 --> 01:22:50,610
You know, Beaver Creek is green, is green up there.

1157
01:22:51,190 --> 01:22:53,490
I mean, there's still some mud puddles here and there.

1158
01:22:54,750 --> 01:22:58,250
So they've had a little more water than other parts of the state.

1159
01:22:58,410 --> 01:23:02,710
And that's probably why the bear is doing so well because Logan really probably

1160
01:23:02,710 --> 01:23:04,150
had a little more in it than we thought.

1161
01:23:04,150 --> 01:23:08,490
Well, in my opinion, I don't know what a resource can.

1162
01:23:08,850 --> 01:23:11,690
I think then, January and December and January, we got them rains.

1163
01:23:12,010 --> 01:23:12,790
The ground wasn't frozen.

1164
01:23:13,150 --> 01:23:14,990
We got that water stored in the dirt.

1165
01:23:16,030 --> 01:23:17,210
You know, it's there.

1166
01:23:17,310 --> 01:23:21,890
It came and we didn't freeze till later, whether we were very frozen or in any way, but

1167
01:23:21,890 --> 01:23:27,450
what rains, we got a lot of moisture in December and January, and it's just still in the soil.

1168
01:23:28,450 --> 01:23:31,590
Instead of hitting and running off the snow, everybody weren't about that.

1169
01:23:31,590 --> 01:23:33,210
But yeah, lowest note back overnight, hold.

1170
01:23:35,110 --> 01:23:36,530
And here, two looming nets.

1171
01:23:37,470 --> 01:23:38,050
Well, OK.

1172
01:23:38,770 --> 01:23:40,150
Just need one more motion.

1173
01:23:40,830 --> 01:23:41,810
I'll move it to the urn.

1174
01:23:42,250 --> 01:23:42,410
Second.

1175
01:23:43,750 --> 01:23:45,690
Didn't take long to get that, though, really.

1176
01:23:46,830 --> 01:23:48,610
It's been moved in second, at all, in favor.

1177
01:23:49,210 --> 01:23:49,490
Hi.

1178
01:23:50,090 --> 01:23:52,590
Thank you for your attendance tonight.

1179
01:23:52,990 --> 01:23:55,750
Good time you're spending your thinking.
