[0:03] Okay.

[0:08] Let's call this meeting to order. This is a Board of Trustees meeting. 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.
