The name is September [0:33] a point of change to social and appointed. I always want to say that it was false. [0:40] We'll have to correct it. We've all been. We have no public eye-keeping check in the [0:47] It's not giving you a, so no public comment. [0:52] Minutes. [0:53] Oh. [0:54] First deal about this. Sorry. [0:55] He knows. [0:57] Oh, sorry. [0:58] Some first deal. [0:59] Yeah, sorry. [1:00] She had this. Yeah. [1:02] Rivers. [1:03] I heard. [1:04] Okay. [1:04] You can read it yourself. [1:06] Right. [1:06] Please. [1:09] It's just the bigger part of the lot. [1:11] Sometimes, right. [1:13] Yeah. [1:14] I just only swear or firm that I will swear. [1:17] obey and offend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this state and that will discharge to the beauties of my office with fidelity. [1:26] That's it. [1:28] Thank you very much. [1:29] How about you, Jim? [1:31] Any one of them? [1:32] Okay. [1:33] Yeah. [1:34] And there's a little bit of sugar. [1:36] Now in the minutes. [1:37] Yes. [1:38] Okay. [1:39] So number three minutes. [1:41] As there have been opening the look. [1:45] Motion to approve the minutes. [1:47] Yes. [1:47] We have a second. [1:48] Second. [1:49] All in favor? [1:50] I. [1:52] Thanks. [1:53] I'll just abstain because my way can't pour it. [1:55] So that's probably a good video. [1:58] No. [1:59] My next report. [2:01] Hey. [2:02] Um, just a few things to highlight. [2:05] Uh, first on the 11th. [2:08] Check number 3552 is for our new drone. [2:13] Um, so it is here. [2:14] Just so you know, it's out of the garage. We've got the batteries in here just to protect them as well as the controller [2:22] We I meet now. We'll talk about more on that in a minute, but [2:28] down further [2:31] 3553 or B.D. C.I. that's vector disease control [2:35] That is the $6,000 for the airplane spray that we did [2:39] right below that to the Saras $1,700 that's for some backpack sprayers that we [2:47] bought actually back in July, June, something like that, but we never saw the bill [2:53] until just recently. So that is what that is. That's everything for up there on [3:00] the purchase card. There are two on this first page that I want to really point to [3:05] the NPDES and the Division of Water Quality, once for 276 and once for 290. The 276 should [3:12] be refunded to us because it's basically a double payment. I have contacted them and [3:18] basically it's for our permit, our EPA permit, to be able to discharge our pesticides and stuff. [3:29] that's what that is. So they did some changes and so we basically had to pay twice, so it's kind [3:39] of mess they already found us the 276. The state update from 276 to 29 equals year. As far as the [3:48] other things on that site, for lows, that was for gutter differs and zip ties, like when I say gutter [3:55] dippers ever by cruise to go around and then do the like the storm drains and [4:02] things and they have a certain dipper that we manufacture here. It's out of the [4:05] feedies and finally stuff. So we need to get some new ones to those. [4:10] Costco was for water and cleaning supplies. The battery was for our rotator trap, [4:17] which they explained rotator trap but it's basically just rotates every hour [4:25] and has a different net for each hour to tell you what the mosquitoes are going into the trap, [4:30] that kind of thing. On the backside, we had our annual lunch for the seasonals. [4:38] We always choose the cheesecake factory from the end of the year, so that's where we go. [4:45] And then Amazon is for the $26 was for trailer lights for two of our trailers. [4:53] and then there's been a situation with Wasatch waste and recycling. They basically find us $40 [5:04] for missing our payment for two months, but we didn't miss it. There's been a disconnect [5:08] between the bank, the people who process the account and the actual district. [5:18] They changed their payment process. [5:20] Exactly. [5:21] And it's been, yeah. [5:23] Yeah, they changed that starting June. [5:25] Yes. [5:26] And for June's went through, playing with that. [5:27] And we both were that bitch and I obviously fooded back to us. [5:31] And they're playing off each other. [5:33] Not our cell phone, not our cell phone. [5:34] So it's so big. [5:35] Oh, that's sweet. [5:37] Shoot. [5:37] I pay yearly and don't have that issue. [5:42] It's not a bad thought. [5:44] Maybe you shouldn't. [5:44] Do you want to take everybody off the yearly, though? [5:46] And everybody else? [5:48] I am on the yearly. [5:50] I pay yearly also, you can. [5:52] And every month, they send a bill. [5:54] It just shows a credit, a rolling credit, until it's at zero. [5:58] Yeah. [5:59] I've never even looked at that. [6:01] Oh my gosh. [6:02] That's the first thing I do when it comes to utilities. [6:05] Can I pray for that? [6:06] Yeah. [6:07] And if I can, I do it because, yeah. [6:11] It's okay for the rest of the air potentially and then January, P for all, 227 for the last [6:17] commemorative. [6:17] Oh, I mean, yes, it does. [6:20] Talk with them about that because you're thinking January, they're thinking like March, [6:28] their year starts, year, just go, you know, it'll still, it'll still work out. [6:35] It'll still, you can go from January to January. [6:37] If you're paying monthly now, after you pay December, you can pay yearly. [6:42] The amounts don't change and you can, when they, it doesn't give you the option like [6:47] you can pay this amount. [6:49] If you just times that by 12, you can pay yearly in January. [6:51] I do it every year. [6:53] That's a good idea to, and in the past, I mean, what they do now is, might be a little different, [7:01] but what they've done in the past is I end up getting this one bill. [7:08] and I'm like, well, I've paid yearly. [7:11] So they used to do quarterly and it was always in the rears if I remember, right? [7:17] And that's why it might have seemed different and then they went to monthly. [7:22] So you're saying that the payment thing is, yeah, because that was my issue. [7:27] I was paying yearly, but I would get my final bill would be a bill [7:33] and I would be like, why am I paying this? [7:35] I paid. Yeah, it does send you just a copy and it should have a negative on it. [7:41] So when what was going on was I was paying the last month's year and so it was off. [7:52] The monthly thing is supposed to be the way they're doing it now is supposed to be better [7:58] and you're not supposed to have that problem. That's why they changed it. [8:08] I'll figure it out, because I'm still working on getting the $40.00 rate to these games, [8:14] spend a few things, I can group that we made, so anyway, so we'll add that to the list [8:19] to that. [8:21] Again, that's all I have come up with some questions, maybe motion to approve. [8:27] Motion to approve. [8:28] Is that a second, Jamie? [8:31] A second. [8:33] Okay. [8:42] Now you're still reporting. [8:44] All right. [8:46] So, [8:47] the monsoon rains are brought out. [8:50] The meetings were sourced. [8:51] Those ones that you'll see during the day. [8:54] We've gotten a few calls from a couple of schools. [8:57] I'm going to spray Brock Bay tonight, [8:59] because they're asking for help. [9:02] as well as a couple of other places, but their dorsalus do not carry disease. [9:10] They're just like you see them more because they're out there when people are out. [9:14] So there are still tarsalus and pittians out. [9:21] We put our tracks out last night and they were actually pretty low, to be honest. [9:28] Partially to do with the weather, like it started blowing pretty hard last night, but partially [9:34] to do with the time of year as well. [9:37] So, my first Nile is our biggest concern. [9:41] This time last year we had 17 positive samples. [9:45] This year we have 92 positive samples. [9:51] So last year this time when 2% of our samples are positive and this year 11% are. [9:56] the end of July was crazy because like the week before August started we had [10:04] 25 positives out of I think AB tested and then it dropped since then it's been [10:11] slowly dropping which is I'm grateful for it surprised me I thought because [10:17] usually August and in September it could be the worst but it's kind of leveled [10:24] which leveling off. It's not dropping significantly, but it's dropping a little bit. So anyways, [10:33] every week we put out 12 traps on Monday night. That's what we've done consistently, except for [10:38] this week we put them out last night. These 12 traps, we keep them in the same locations. We have [10:43] other traps that we put out occasionally in other places. But all 92 positives are from nine traps. [10:51] and if you want me to give you locations on these, I can, but all the numbers there are the positives for each trap for the year. [11:01] Now, if you look at hardings, they have 11, but only two of those are in August. [11:06] So before that, they have most of them came then. [11:12] So those are all the numbers for that. [11:15] and then the good news is we still have no positive [11:19] SLE pools in the state last year. Our district had nine SLE [11:24] positive pools. [11:27] And as of last week, there were 15 human cases in the state [11:31] and five of those were in Salt Lake County. [11:35] None of those from our district, I'll go wood, but [11:38] But there is a person that lives over in my parent's neighborhood with just off of 64 [11:49] and I last she had, she was in the hospital because of West Nile, really, I've not been [11:55] notified about anyone. [11:57] So I don't know if I can get her name, I can get where she is because yes, she wasn't feeling [12:03] very good. [12:04] So, I want to say it was on the news, I'll check it out. [12:09] All right, because the health department, whenever we have the case in our district, [12:15] they let us know. [12:18] I will follow up with that for you and let you know where they're at. [12:24] Okay. [12:26] As for what we've been doing, and obviously we treat 126 acres with the drone, which brings [12:33] it to 658 for the year, we also put the airplane up on the 5th, and after that we didn't [12:42] see a significant decrease in our track numbers, which is good, and again, overall track numbers, [12:49] I believe they've been lower this year, so we've been using our ULB [12:56] Foggers at night as much as we possibly can this year. [13:01] I mean, I mean, for the Mount West Nile, we have like, it's been busy. [13:09] So, every year is something new. [13:13] That's it. [13:16] Questions? [13:23] So, um, kind of just covered in a little bit, like I decided not to do a signal one, we still could, there's still time to do it. [13:33] Um, I'm kind of torn on it. If it were to give the West Nile what it kept doubling like it had been doing, then I would definitely have done one. [13:42] but I think that the fogging that we're doing is enough to keep it at bay, I guess best that we can. [13:54] So, if you guys are okay with it, I'm not going to put up another one. We'll just keep fogging until they go away. [14:02] Could you still have the story? [14:03] we get the story last evening to, if we need one, you don't have to call us to go and check, just go ahead and do it. [14:09] Yeah, sorry. [14:12] That's kind of big. [14:13] I'm going to catch you up. [14:14] We did a screen for August 5th. [14:18] And then we were going to do it again. [14:20] And, you know, for you obviously. [14:23] Guys, we used to do it. [14:24] For my mouth. [14:25] Both eyes. [14:28] Okay. [14:28] Yeah, a generous for genitis and I sport me. [14:35] Making me do in the, the, [14:37] Ogden. Yes. [14:39] Yes. [14:41] I will be there for life at training. [14:43] No, no, no, no. [14:45] For that training. [14:45] So the Monday. [14:46] Yeah, but don't worry. [14:47] No, no, no. [14:49] No. [14:51] Yeah. [14:52] Yeah. [14:53] Yeah. [14:53] My husband. [14:54] I have to get it all right. [14:57] Yeah. [14:59] Okay. [15:00] Any a trustee comments? [15:04] Well, good. We need a motion to dismiss. Yeah, a second. All favor? Aye. [15:12] No, I'll turn the recording off, but just on the back of the film report isn't a trap stuff. So you can get a closer look at the month. All right. Thanks, Jamie. Thank you.
