[0:01] Welcome to town council, August 12, 2026, 7 p.m., U.S.D. is going to join us, not the homer on the phone.
[0:14] So, I'll leave this in a second. I believe this.
[0:22] I'd like to introduce you to theify of the United States of America. And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, one republic, and indistible, with liberty and justice spread off.
[0:47] Next, from last month, on the light, when I
[0:54] didn't see anything with me to be corrected or changed, I like to see the color that's in there.
[0:59] You're all wearing a waffle and all that.
[1:04] It was out of time.
[1:10] Everything was still on my iPad, but I looked at it last week.
[1:13] I'm going to send it the first day by the way, in motion to set the minutes.
[1:25] Misty, you need to send it.
[1:27] Just give me a second to do it.
[1:35] Unless the cans are on us today, so anyway.
[1:38] All in favor, set from the minutes for the delay.
[1:42] All in favor?
[1:43] Yes.
[1:45] Yes.
[1:45] Yes, yes.
[1:50] Put it in any more support?
[1:56] I have a whole question.
[2:05] There's one for a break and it says return ice cream machine.
[2:08] That was the fuel, when they had to go over two trails to get rid of.
[2:12] Okay.
[2:14] And every telecom, C-B-C-D-B-G grant hearing?
[2:19] Yes.
[2:19] Okay.
[2:20] We had to pull, that was a public notice.
[2:21] We had to post it.
[2:22] Oh.
[2:22] Okay.
[2:23] D-T-B.
[2:24] So it's D-T-B.
[2:25] Okay.
[2:25] And I should be C-I-B with some C-D-B-G.
[2:29] Well, is it?
[2:30] I don't know.
[2:32] Okay.
[2:32] Okay, so that would be my only change is changing that from CDVG to CID,
[2:43] other than that everything else it's good.
[2:46] So I make a motion that we approve to pay the bills with the one correction to the mrate.com check.
[2:54] Cody, not the check.
[2:59] That's been mentioned in a second that we accept the invoice report as talked about
[3:05] with the exceptions to this every telephone.
[3:09] CID.
[3:11] CID.
[3:12] CID.
[3:13] And I did highlight the one for Nelson's, that is our CDBG grant, and now they are doing a change
[3:21] in Hoover, they report to, economics, so we have not been reimbursed on that
[3:27] yet. All in favor?
[3:33] No. Yes. Yes. Misty? Yes.
[3:37] Late? Yes. Him? Yes.
[3:41] Thank you.
[3:47] Okay. As far as the water task force meaning
[3:50] We had a lot to warm up and not, but we did, as of last night I did get a video of the
[4:02] well on the casing from Freddy's, and as far as when I looked at it with my professional
[4:09] eyes, going down, I looked at it twice, it's four minute video or four and a half minute
[4:17] But there's only a few couple spots really that look like they're only that might have a
[4:23] little bit of rust, but I don't think it doesn't really look like it's much.
[4:27] It probably could be cleaned up or once it's used it will be cleaned up.
[4:30] There's a little bit of yellow.
[4:33] Looks like probably sulfur in it, but it looks really good.
[4:36] I was amazed how good the casing looked.
[4:40] So, plants and the zones in the mills are going to look at that and then if that's the case
[4:46] we'll be able to move forward with the pump and get it put in and get the water
[4:58] test for
[4:59] the flow.
[5:00] It has to pump for 24 hours with pump test so we're going to get that and I talked to Mike.
[5:08] We can pump that into the canal but he's going to make sure we're not going to sled anybody
[5:12] out.
[5:12] I'm going to do that on test because it'll flow about 70 to 100 gallons per minute, depending on what we put in that for 24 or 4 hours.
[5:22] So, then, if that being said, if it passes the pump test and everything like that, we will bring the fat tank over, just get one more bit coming for that.
[5:37] and then we can we coordinate with the special service district to get that
[5:43] pumped into the secondary. So once last, besides what needs to happen as far as
[5:53] if the pump and the casing looks good, he said it wouldn't take him a week once
[5:58] he got going to get it done. So the pump is just pretty common, it's three-inch
[6:04] pump and you can put a heart down here is about the biggest pump you can do with it's free
[6:11] it's pump so we're going to do that and then we'll put a BFD in to make sure if we need to
[6:16] regulate it back we can without being undersized we'll always be over sized hopefully and the money for
[6:27] that from the county has been transferred to a special service district and so it's
[6:35] already available for all of that and that
[6:45] you have so I can't and county as soon as
[6:52] they're done the fire I talked to them actually on Monday they're gonna move up to
[6:57] spinners and fix that. They got the equipment and everything so that they were going to
[7:02] fix that drainage cleaning ditches and cleaning ditches and stuff to make sure they were
[7:08] doing it into spinners. So they talked what they thought it would be next week and couldn't
[7:12] think that time this week.
[7:16] Well, a good thing to put it in the canal. Get all the trees in town and drink.
[7:23] Yeah, what if I had it?
[7:25] Yeah.
[7:25] And it's ways of been surviving for all these years.
[7:28] Yeah, and honestly, I was thinking, I don't know, there's some people that's probably
[7:36] building that canal to get more property, but we might need to see what we can do to
[7:41] give the talent back all the time.
[7:46] My plan is to run that pump all the time, not have what we have now, I agree with you.
[7:51] So, you know, if it does have problems, we can fix it right now instead of scrambling like we are now.
[7:59] So, we move forward with the plan with that.
[8:01] So, anything you want to add to that, Misty?
[8:10] Did you add some hours?
[8:11] You want to set timer?
[8:12] Oh yeah.
[8:13] Yeah.
[8:16] So, okay.
[8:20] I'm going to put the state legislature people, the senator,
[8:25] in Kansas, Boston, Kennedy, whoever else we can get to join for that field tour to see
[8:33] the dams and stuff up there to see what we can do to get them fixed.
[8:38] Do we have a date on that?
[8:39] Was there a date?
[8:43] This was September 29th.
[8:46] September 29th.
[8:47] September 29th.
[8:47] September 29th.
[8:50] I think that is a hard date now, or not sure, but we've been trying to figure that out for
[8:58] last week or so.
[9:05] We were talking about the pump and keeping that going. It's going to be a need
[9:10] something to increase your, put some kind of assessment there for the, those pumps are going to
[9:18] wear out and enter a place in time to time. Yeah, so we have a pool of money to build that.
[9:23] Well, yes, I don't know that they'll run 24, 7, 20, just 12 months a year, but they're going to run
[9:29] often enough they don't freeze up but once a week it'll be part of routine
[9:34] this the town maintenance guy it turns it on and that's it running into the
[9:38] pond or wherever the site we're going to put it the canal or to a west side of
[9:42] town whatever that's still open to suggestion and ideas and everything else so
[9:49] and I even thought about trading some kind of a pond that we put that in for
[9:53] I was getting in the winter, so everybody, so anyway, that type of thing, just using the
[10:00] water the best we can in the course, freezing the water in a way and that too.
[10:04] What's the temperature of the water?
[10:07] The temperature?
[10:08] I am trying to find,
[10:15] I thought he said 62.
[10:19] I mean he tested that but I don't know if I have to show that camera, that's what comes
[10:23] to mind.
[10:23] They don't have to be able to check that.
[10:26] But it seemed cold when I was there, when I'd come out on the hand that it was cold.
[10:31] It was cold.
[10:34] And anywhere on the treatment plans for that big of a test site, you know, can be heard
[10:39] in New York.
[10:40] No, yeah.
[10:41] We just have to make sure that the flow test works and the pump test, the water is cleanable.
[10:50] that we've prepared by it and without it's not as bad as we thought it was, so we'll see how that goes, but we'll have to rerun it for a bit, see if it gets better or worse.
[11:07] The one up here in the cemetery, one of the, not the 10-inch, but the other 5-inch.
[11:11] But while they always use any way for the water to take in water before, the other one I don't think has ever been in place for drinking water.
[11:23] That's just been there in case I may.
[11:26] From what I could find any information about, something from the same pool, I think.
[11:32] Pretty much the same solution in their different depths.
[11:34] where there was a hundred and twenty feet lower for the 10-20 and the 5-1.
[11:43] And that's where the pumps sat, not necessarily a different novel for it.
[11:50] They say it was a different novel for it, is it?
[11:58] But that is closer to the art.
[12:00] It seems odd.
[12:01] But for the Chessing Wheel, verify that.
[12:18] but when they did do the one for an hour and a half or whatever and drew it on the
[12:31] 10
[12:32] inch and then the water was still in the other one 5 inch but they dropped it 250 feet
[12:44] when they get that drawdown and they put a big two-hour gallon per minute in and dropped
[12:49] it and it refilled within four or five hours, so the other one didn't drop, but it didn't
[12:56] drop.
[12:57] The fight against didn't drop, but on the head instead.
[13:02] So anyway, that was actually done, but I mean, that's just hour-small games, you know.
[13:11] That's not a 24-hour flow test and everything else, so that would make a difference.
[13:15] to find out, to go on an ounce.
[13:17] We'll drop that pump down to 600 or 700 feet.
[13:21] Do
[13:25] you think they'll open?
[13:26] I'm wondering.
[13:27] Lance was going to get back to me.
[13:30] We were last week when I was talking to him.
[13:33] He was about to have his schedule free up
[13:36] unless I had a change between now and then, and we did it now.
[13:39] I believe he said he had it done a week or two
[13:42] once he got everything in place.
[13:44] So, I will have to say I'll know better than that a couple of days as far as when he looks
[13:52] at everything, when he can say he can handle that.
[13:55] So, but he was hopeful to get it going pretty quick.
[13:59] Sure.
[14:03] And I should have that final bit for that other fact from T.S.J. tomorrow.
[14:10] And that's culinary quality.
[14:16] Nobody really wanted to verify that they had a culinary tank available right now.
[14:22] We had to buy new for that.
[14:24] The things changed.
[14:29] They said it was supposed to be culinary, but they don't, they can't verify that.
[14:33] It was jumping in the mattress, not knowing for sure.
[14:47] think that's all I have for that right now.
[14:50] All the special service districts that they will be ready to help pump that and do the work of the pipe.
[15:00] I mean, everything for the second day as soon as we have an idea of where this problem will get from, and they can provide good supplies and everything, so people
[15:11] work.
[15:17] Right, close, I think.
[15:43] That's all I have. Kim?
[15:46] So it wasn't here last month, but I got almost all positive feedback from Henry
[15:57] J. Celebration.
[16:00] Yeah, we always do. You're funny, but I was pretty.
[16:09] The most of it was probably 90% was positive this year,
[16:14] which is a better percentage that we've ever had.
[16:19] Things that have been actual input about keep this,
[16:23] and we really like this, and let's make this
[16:26] an every year thing.
[16:29] You know, sometimes blessings come in,
[16:33] strange packages.
[16:34] So thank you to Annie and Chris did. I can't even tell you guys thank you enough.
[16:44] Thank you.
[16:45] They are really a lot.
[16:47] They are rock stars.
[16:49] We got the best talent staff of anybody in the county.
[16:55] We appreciate that.
[16:55] Thank you.
[16:56] Probably agree.
[16:57] And we're already starting on next year.
[17:06] I don't, hopefully when the church gets done, oh that's right, that's what Mary Ann wanted
[17:17] to do, did a case and all that, yeah, on the church and the church and the church are
[17:24] already done, we're on it.
[17:27] Okay. So yeah. So going forward, Halloween is always one that I personally do, will not
[17:39] just be playing in myself personally do, but I don't know if I don't have any feedback
[17:47] for like a fall harvest, for a deer hunter's fall, is there any comments, thoughts, or input
[17:56] But on anything for in the fall,
[18:00] has anybody heard anything, or do you wonder if I can try to do some kind of scarecrow thing?
[18:10] I can name some of the different side of the harnessing hole.
[18:13] Yeah.
[18:14] You wouldn't know what else to do in the harnessing hole, right?
[18:17] That's very, just by anybody that tends to love it.
[18:22] So yeah, we could do it.
[18:24] Even a deer runner's ball, that would be fun.
[18:26] I'm just going to tell you something like that.
[18:27] Yeah.
[18:29] The sole timer.
[18:30] Great.
[18:30] The ball will be in very...
[18:34] So, I'll work on something for the fall.
[18:37] Besides Halloween, something between Halloween and Christmas.
[18:41] Tinseltown.
[18:44] It's one of those that we're just increasing the cheer.
[18:48] The tree lighting is all going to be kind of rolled into the same weekend this year,
[18:54] instead of two separate weekends.
[19:00] Yeah, we need a different flagpole in order to do our tree lighting.
[19:07] That one by the fire pit isn't, it's just some drill steel, but they've welded a little bit to the end.
[19:18] I can't turn it into a Christmas tree but I have a thought on where to possibly put the
[19:28] different one that we could turn into more of a display kind of thing for the town.
[19:38] And I guess I just need somebody to say, yeah, you can or no, you can't.
[19:44] I already have the money for it.
[19:47] I just did a budget for it.
[19:50] And kind of with the park, because the playground equipment
[19:55] should be here mid-October to place.
[19:58] So they're starting to do everything for that.
[20:01] We did get that plan, for the pollinator plants
[20:04] to that grant for that.
[20:06] There's about 400 plants in it.
[20:08] Master gardeners from USU is getting help us plant it.
[20:11] We picked them up October 3rd.
[20:13] They do know our water situation, so if we have to, we can postpone it, but that was the latest pick-up date, and so maybe with some of this, the running water, to the canal, maybe pick some of that up and put on some of those things, and they should, they shouldn't need water going forward, once they're established, they're all native and duct honored.
[20:37] So I think our park block is just going to look very different, which is really exciting.
[20:44] So I think a new phone, I don't know.
[20:50] And then Bingo is next Wednesday and Linda has not given us a date for the cut tonight yet.
[21:00] But I have seen it and it is super awesome.
[21:03] So I will get with her for the date and we'll get that out on Facebook.
[21:13] I'll get served September.
[21:16] I don't want to win.
[21:18] I wouldn't win towards September.
[21:22] I don't think she'll do it on this.
[21:25] There are still some shirts, hats and cookbooks available.
[21:37] didn't get my...
[21:42] I think that's about how they have it.
[21:48] Okay, Mr. Smith?
[21:54] Yes.
[22:10] How did the man
[22:18] change to two increase the $0.2 now?
[22:21] It's like a big period.
[22:34] People are in the hard stuff.
[23:02] I think that there's
[23:57] something that you can call mid-grid,
[23:59] it's just updated.
[24:01] We went to the chapter two.
[24:26] How we have all of the, you know,
[24:30] the
[24:34] new authority,
[24:35] because essentially can't be town council.
[24:40] So, I
[24:50] hope that the suggestions will be there.
[24:53] And it actually has to be pointed by the town council
[24:55] prepared.
[24:57] What's the suggestion?
[24:58] Well, they have must have
[25:02] done the zoning.
[25:03] They
[25:07] have killed,
[25:16] they have taken it to a total of unbiased
[25:21] individuals.
[25:22] They just cannot look at our ordinance and say,
[25:25] well, they're not.
[25:26] And we were writing in the decision that we made.
[25:32] So, the idea is that he ended up
[25:34] But all of this issue
[25:57] and decision made
[26:08] in the state could
[26:12] make sense to have other people from other towns planning and zoning.
[26:18] Yeah.
[26:24] It's about it.
[26:30] Yeah.
[26:31] They have to live in another town, but they still kind of understand how the system works.
[26:37] It gets your best scenario.
[26:39] I don't know.
[26:42] I don't know.
[26:43] I don't know.
[26:49] don't
[26:53] know.
[26:53] What about parents?
[26:54] Parents planning these all.
[27:20] Make a call.
[27:25] They don't call.
[27:26] But they
[27:30] don't know.
[27:31] They say, you can
[27:52] send them out.
[27:53] I'll reach out to parents.
[27:54] Please think.
[28:07] Is there a deadline?
[28:49] Some thoughts.
[28:49] But I would like to go into the special service history.
[28:53] Meaning, because I met all my errors at that time.
[28:56] I got questions and thoughts about them and see if they've done anything like that
[29:03] across the whole county.
[29:16] So
[29:34] we should have that by next meeting and we should ask a lot of questions.
[29:44] Is all that you got that in an email or can you
[29:50] get that in minutes or so then we can...
[30:01] Okay.
[33:06] Direction on your new assignment. Anything you want to add to the meeting tonight? Pressors are
[33:12] making me a little bit. So, as far as funding and what we've got, whatever it is. And then I'll
[33:18] give it to Josh and Quorumy with him on the trail that he has lined out. And it's already marked
[33:28] out where it means to go. So, Quorumy with him on that. And otherwise, I'd like to
[33:35] I don't want any input that anybody has,
[33:37] her recreational needs or draws that I think we can have.
[33:42] We
[33:45] have a plan.
[33:46] Yeah.
[33:47] We've got the grant, so you know,
[33:48] we're going to do a plan and get that going.
[33:52] So get
[33:59] rolling on and getting that plan together
[34:01] and collect the ideas.
[34:03] And very, and I have been working on it,
[34:06] the gun range, and updating the gun range
[34:08] and trying to get some funding for that as well.
[34:10] But I can give you that back too.
[34:12] But that can be rolled in as part of it.
[34:15] Yes.
[34:15] This involves anything for the town people to do for fun
[34:19] and anyway we want to be in.
[34:20] So the Pioneer Church, the park, all of it will be part
[34:45] of it.
[34:45] On the shooting range?
[34:47] Yes.
[34:49] Yeah.
[34:49] Yeah, the shooting range and the trail and everything.
[35:04] And we did get something on that about the grazing.
[35:07] We did get department of something that just came
[35:11] recently about grazing rights on that property.
[35:14] So do I want to look at that too, Misty?
[35:21] The State Department of one of those things that controls who, when they're like, you
[35:28] look at the people going crazy and they're not too, I don't know, I'll let you look at
[35:31] them.
[35:31] They really know what it was.
[35:32] Not for real, and then.
[35:33] No, I think it was division of something, but they just want to say we confirm that we,
[35:38] these people are allowed to raise on these spots, and they have been since this time, and
[35:43] and it has several different fields.
[35:46] I think that was part of the original land.
[35:51] Okay, so yeah, that's the main thing.
[35:52] It's really crazy.
[35:53] But if there was a building in turn,
[35:54] the grading right from Stu was, yeah.
[36:00] I don't think that's going to affect the trail.
[36:02] I don't see that affecting as far as the AUM
[36:07] through what's available for the grazing.
[36:11] the whole. The chunk of ground from the end of the town as a whole may have an A.M. or two,
[36:20] but not much. You're probably looking at it. I thought you're looking at third-year-old A.M.
[36:26] So how many acres would be required?
[36:29] Six hundred and sixty-four. So we got a full section. I mean a section on a little bit.
[36:42] So there are a few of you in there, and are what does that require?
[36:48] Are we supposed to charge for those?
[36:51] Do we want to charge for those?
[36:53] There's not very many.
[36:58] because if they removed them, because the BLM obviously, there would be cutting the
[37:12] medicines, they would reduce that number of AUMs, and so we could issue those AUMs back
[37:19] to them, and have a cut to the...
[37:24] I don't know, Misty said something.
[37:26] What was that Misty?
[37:29] I said in the original one,
[37:39] but I don't know.
[37:47] They've reduced those AUMs, and the shadowing could pick up that reduction, I'm sure that
[37:53] the BLM would reduce the permit by having AUMs.
[37:56] I haven't seen any reductions on this
[38:07] one, right Chris?
[38:09] Yeah.
[38:10] That's a fairly recorded.
[38:11] And they haven't done anything with the, as far as adjusting any permit numbers on the
[38:17] lands that went from BLM to SITLA or SITLA to BLM either.
[38:22] BLM is way behind on that big surprise.
[38:30] So there hasn't been any reductions they haven't adjusted their permits yet.
[38:34] We have on our side the SITLA but I don't think they have done anything yet.
[38:38] Okay,
[38:42] that's something to look at too, because if they got cut, the other option is to do
[38:49] that we just don't issue it, it's more like a grass bank come
[38:58] down, there's fewer numbers
[39:01] they can run on it, it gives them a little buffer on droughts.
[39:07] Okay.
[39:16] The town staff.
[39:18] We are requesting that we be able to attend the Utah League of Cities and Towns.
[39:25] We figured if all of that stuff we've been to, that's where we get the most
[39:28] knowledge and make the most contacts. So that is October 27th and 28th.
[39:34] And we'll just stay at my house up in Salt Lake because we don't have to pay for housing.
[39:38] It will just be our conference and it's 415 for each of us to attend.
[39:48] I'll stay at Chris has a house in Salt Lake.
[39:52] So that's just kind of the fence of Talon.
[39:55] Yeah.
[39:59] Do we pay like, per DM thing?
[40:01] Is it like, because of the Talon?
[40:03] Well, that's where it would be.
[40:04] It would be in per DM and I.
[40:06] So we'll just do my which one.
[40:07] I'd like to pay for a Talon or anything.
[40:09] And so that's the key to stay here.
[40:11] Well, up there.
[40:12] Now they figure out where that any now.
[40:14] we used to the house to, we had 25 bucks if we stayed and the memory.
[40:21] Yeah, we're not worried.
[40:23] You're not worried about that?
[40:25] You're not going to fill up to over here.
[40:32] Anything else?
[40:36] Did the sheriff's department do this weekend?
[40:39] Did the sheriff's department do this weekend?
[40:42] Did the sheriff's department do this weekend?
[40:52] because you had your kids and they said they had an animal control issue and didn't know who to contact.
[41:03] Well I say to them, okay, I tried to call them back and nobody answered that.
[41:07] So I just gave me your number and I told them there was nothing I could do on it in Vegas right now.
[41:13] So they told me that I was actually sitting at the house when I got that home call
[41:19] No, no, no.
[41:21] Yeah, she didn't say anything.
[41:23] Didn't let me answer it for a minute.
[41:25] Yeah, she didn't say it was just a dispatcher.
[41:28] She didn't say who or what the problem was.
[41:31] She just said, your numbers are the only one I have.
[41:33] And I'm like,
[41:36] did she say her name?
[41:38] Yeah, but my heart was beating too fast here.
[41:43] Tracing.
[41:43] I don't know.
[41:45] Okay.
[41:46] Anyway, I gave him your number and told him that as of right now,
[41:49] you were the guy.
[41:50] That is true.
[41:54] Okay.
[41:57] Is that on Sunday?
[41:59] Saturday on it?
[42:00] Yes, it was Saturday.
[42:02] Saturday, you know, 4 o'clock.
[42:03] Yeah.
[42:04] Yeah, 4 o'clock.
[42:09] Oh, yeah.
[42:10] I don't think it may be your cow.
[42:12] The cat, the man on Sunday.
[42:15] That was Sunday on my way.
[42:17] Yeah, I don't think.
[42:19] So, I think...
[42:20] No.
[42:22] So...
[42:22] They do have your number now.
[42:24] Good.
[42:24] So I make the most of the major.
[42:30] How's that?
[42:31] It's my name's Jared.
