So 209 00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:01,280 now each entity receives their blue 210 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,759 stake locate requests through an online 211 00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:06,479 portal. Within the online portal, you 212 00:08:06,479 --> 00:08:08,560 can reach out directly to the contractor 213 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,800 that submitted the blue stake. Um you 214 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,639 can apply pictures from the field right 215 00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:15,039 to the exact ticket. Um and then it's 216 00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:16,960 got everybody's contact information on 217 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,360 there. So the training was a refresher 218 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,000 on the online dashboard. It also ensures 219 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,800 that there's continuity between utility 220 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,560 markers that we're all marking the lines 221 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,120 the same way how they're supposed to be 222 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,000 um marked by standard. And then it gives 223 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,519 the the entities and the contractors the 224 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:37,839 chance to, you know, say what's working 225 00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:40,399 well, what do we need to improve on?

Are 586 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,480 don't we have a standard coming up that 587 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,919 they're going to change? 588 00:23:35,919 --> 00:23:38,480 >> We have the if you're referring to the 589 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,400 >> on these limits. 590 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,480 >> It was effluent total foss and that went 591 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,679 into effect with our new permit for 2025 592 00:23:45,679 --> 00:23:47,360 >> and how long do you think that'll go 593 00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:48,559 before they change that? 594 00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:50,640 >> Uh probably indefinitely. 595 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,120 >> Really? 596 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:51,600 >> Yeah. 597 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,080 >> Okay. 598 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,039 >> There's no word on the horizon that um 599 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:56,799 our permit limit would change. It would 600 00:23:56,799 --> 00:23:58,960 be dictated by the receiving waters. 601 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,200 >> Okay. which our receiving waters aren't 602 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,240 going to change. So, it's I'm not going 603 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,080 to say it's permanent, but usually they 604 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,840 give us several years heads up. 605 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,440 >> Well, I know there's a lot of people 606 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,320 that are in the same boat, but I noticed 607 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,279 when we started doing uh air quality on 608 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:17,679 the back houses like at Staker and 609 00:24:17,679 --> 00:24:20,799 Geodine, I noticed when they seen how 610 00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:22,240 well you do, then they started to 611 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,919 tighten the belt up and make the 612 00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:25,039 restrictions more. 613 00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:25,360 >> Sure. 614 00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:27,360 >> And if you look at that report, that's 615 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:30,400 exceptional. So, 616 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,840 I don't know if it's that good in the 617 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,840 summertime as it is the winter. But 618 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,679 winter is our toughest time, is it? But 619 00:24:35,679 --> 00:24:37,279 it hasn't been a very bad winter. 620 00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:39,120 >> Nope. That's That's right. We've had 621 00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:43,919 some hot and cold flashes and that's that's tough. If it if it was 622 00:24:43,919 --> 00:24:45,520 just cold all winter, that'd be one 623 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,360 thing. We can manage that. But when it 624 00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:50,159 gets up to 45 or 50 and then down to 30, 625 00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:51,840 that the plant reacts a little 626 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,919 differently in those shoulder months. 627 00:24:53,919 --> 00:24:56,400 But we're doing well. What did we end up 628 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,279 doing with our uh oil monitoring? Are we 629 00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:01,200 still sending in samples or 630 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,559 >> We are. Yep. 631 00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:04,080 >> What are we going to do for vibration? 632 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,279 Did you guys decide? 633 00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:07,200 >> We've got some good intel on that and 634 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,799 we've got a few different options lined 635 00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:10,880 up. Um 636 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,880 cost comparison is where we stand right 637 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,000 now. And um we've got our table built of 638 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,600 every piece of equipment that we think 639 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,039 would need it. Um it's just a matter of 640 00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:22,799 getting the water and the wastewater on 641 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:25,600 the same page and and figuring out 642 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,360 whether we want to commit to it based on 643 00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:29,200 the cost and still a little bit of 644 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,279 investigation but we are making headway. 645 00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:33,279 >> I was I was hearing some negative things 646 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:37,760 about the global vibration detection. It 647 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,960 gets it can get quite expensive. So if 648 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,360 you have a handle on what equipment 649 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:48,320 you've got and everything then and you can lock that in then you're 650 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,120 doing great 651 00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:49,600 >> right? 652 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,000 >> But a lot of the plants they change 653 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,760 management then all of a sudden they 654 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,440 start adding to it and when they add it 655 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,080 starts to get exponential instead of 656 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,960 linear. 657 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:01,440 >> Right. 658 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,240 >> And so as long as we're not adding 659 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,200 equipment they said and and you can lock 660 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,440 that in. You'll be doing great. 661 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,279 >> Sure. and they said it's pretty hard to 662 00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:14,640 beat that comparing to trying to one 663 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,320 train your people and get the machine 664 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,480 and keep track of the data and then 665 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,440 human error, 666 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:21,919 >> right? 667 00:26:21,919 --> 00:26:24,799 >> Those are the things that are too many 668 00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:27,120 variables and so they say it's really 669 00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,000 advantage with the global system, but 670 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,760 the catch is if they expand it, it 671 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,840 really catches you. So, 672 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,080 >> sure, great point. Thank you, sir. 673 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,120 Okay, let's move on to Leileis. 674 00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:46,559 >> Thank you, Mr. Chair and board. So, this 675 00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:48,240 is the compliance of our legal 676 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,600 requirements. Um, we are in compliance 677 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,600 with the legal requirements that we're 678 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,279 required to complete. Um, the blue 679 00:26:57,279 --> 00:26:58,720 highlighted is the ones we have 680 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,720 completed. 681 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,360 We submitted the salaries and benefits 682 00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:06,880 information that goes on the public 683 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:13,039 transparency website and we also have 684 00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:14,960 done the quarterly to budget actual 685 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,840 reports to the transparency website and 686 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,520 of course today just a minute I'm going 687 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,200 to report to the board for that. Uh the 688 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,720 semianual money management report has 689 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,880 been submitted. It was due December 30, 690 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,640 January 31st. Um, 691 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,520 what else? Uh, water use report. Clint 692 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,760 reported. We have completed that. 693 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,760 >> The only thing I have highlighted coming 694 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,760 up is the uh, public hearing for impact 695 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,640 fee impact fees next week, Thursday at 6 696 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,320 PM. 697 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,840 >> 6 PM. 698 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,600 >> Other than that, we are in compliance. 699 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,840 Mr. chair, if you want me, does anybody 700 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,520 have any questions on that? 701 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,679 >> I don't have none. The board have any 702 00:28:01,679 --> 00:28:04,000 questions? Okay. 703 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,760 >> If you would like, I can proceed into 704 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:06,640 the financials. 705 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,080 >> I actually went through this and I 706 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,440 thought it looked good to me. So, 707 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,360 >> I thought it looks really good, too. Um, 708 00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:15,200 we ended up with showing an income, 709 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:15,679 >> right? 710 00:28:15,679 --> 00:28:17,440 >> A little bit smaller than last year. 711 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,720 >> I don't think it was high enough. You 712 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,679 need to raise it. 713 00:28:19,679 --> 00:28:23,039 >> I I would go probably low on the list 714 00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:24,960 compared. I looked at Karns and some of 715 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,080 them. It's astronomical compared, but 716 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,000 >> like how much they ended up with. 717 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,640 >> They they charge a lot more for impact 718 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,159 fees than we do. 719 00:28:34,159 --> 00:28:35,919 >> We're on the low side. 720 00:28:35,919 --> 00:28:36,480 >> Yeah. 721 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,640 >> But Nathan said we have to follow in 722 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,799 line with this requirement. 723 00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:41,919 >> Yes, we do. 724 00:28:41,919 --> 00:28:45,279 >> So Nathan, is there a bill up there on 725 00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:49,200 the hill about the impact fees being 726 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,279 >> No, what you're referring to is a bill. 727 00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:55,679 So, the challenge that the state's 728 00:28:55,679 --> 00:28:58,559 facing, and I think this is part of 729 00:28:58,559 --> 00:29:00,080 probably what's prompting Jordan Valley 730 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,960 with some of its rates, is that all the 731 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,240 infrastructure that we're currently 732 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,039 using was built many decades ago. It's 733 00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:08,480 reaching the end of its design life, and 734 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,080 it was built with a lot of public money, 735 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,760 both from the federal government in the 736 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,320 state. All that federal money and all 737 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,880 that state is is gone for the most part. 738 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,520 And so, the the legislature is looking 739 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,640 at a $34 billion price tag to keep just 740 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,480 to maintain our infrastructure. So, the 741 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,159 bill I think that you're referring to at 742 00:29:26,159 --> 00:29:28,320 the league meeting is there's a bill 743 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,080 that would 744 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,440 essentially what they should do in my 745 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,520 opinion is appropriate money, but I 746 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,840 think they they've moved to a different 747 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,320 model in which they're essentially doing 748 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,399 pass through fees. And so this model 749 00:29:40,399 --> 00:29:42,799 would require every public water 750 00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:45,120 supplier, which you guys would qualify 751 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,360 as, to impose a fee that would be based 752 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,520 upon the median income level in your 753 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,840 service area, multiplied that by a 754 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,840 percentage. I think it's 3% if it's if 755 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,840 you do water and sewer, which you do, 756 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,600 and then divide that by your 757 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,679 connections. And I think when Trevor did 758 00:30:01,679 --> 00:30:04,240 the math, what was that was like $14 759 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,480 million and $1,400? 760 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,039 >> Oh, it was 20 million. 20 million. 761 00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:09,360 >> Yeah. 762 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,960 >> And so I' I've been checking with my 763 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,360 other water suppliers and I've seen you 764 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,279 guys are actually the lowest. Everybody 765 00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:17,440 else is going to be like $2,500 per 766 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,279 connection. Um 767 00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:21,120 >> and I think that's maybe just due to the 768 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,840 difference in the median income levels. 769 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,520 >> Um I don't know where that bill is going 770 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,000 to go. It's it's but but the point is is 771 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,279 the state's trying to come up with 772 00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:31,279 creative ways to fund stuff. Water 773 00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:32,880 suppliers are trying to come up with 774 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,039 creative ways to fund stuff. So, I'm not 775 00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:36,640 really aware of anything with impact 776 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,880 fees, but with these type of pass 777 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,919 through fees that are being kind of and this is conceptually in line with 778 00:30:43,919 --> 00:30:45,840 the bill that we talked about last year, 779 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,919 which was that you'd have to oppose a 780 00:30:47,919 --> 00:30:50,240 similar fee that would based on usage 781 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:50,399 for 782 00:30:50,399 --> 00:30:52,240 >> to fund drinking water infrastructure. 783 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,679 This would go into a similar fund, but 784 00:30:53,679 --> 00:30:55,679 it would be more for water supply. 785 00:30:55,679 --> 00:30:59,200 >> And I think if it passes, you would have 786 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,520 the option of participating in it this 787 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,679 year. uh well January 1st, 2027 and if 788 00:31:05,679 --> 00:31:06,960 you didn't participate in it, you 789 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,799 wouldn't be eligible for state funding 790 00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:10,399 in that fund. But then I think it 791 00:31:10,399 --> 00:31:15,200 becomes mandatory in 2030. So um so I 792 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,880 don't know if that'll pass, 793 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,840 >> but talking major money. I mean that's 794 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,240 >> but but that's that's the reality is 795 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,960 that the 796 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,279 whatever you're paying for water either 797 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:29,200 here or anywhere else in the state, it's 798 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,799 going to be more. And the question is is 799 00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:34,880 how much more. And so the idea is to try 800 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,960 to get ahead of it. And that to be fair 801 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,279 to the legislature, they are trying to 802 00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:40,960 tackle this issue and get ahead of it 803 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,960 before so it's instead of it being a 804 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,480 $1,400 805 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,240 annual increase instead of it being a 806 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,240 $5,000 annual increase because the 807 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,480 longer it takes to fix this stuff. But 808 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:55,840 as part of that, um the 809 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,320 most districts aren't charging enough 810 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,720 water or money for the water. And so 811 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,840 when you go to get bonds and things, the 812 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,120 they're going to take a harder look is are your rates high enough? So why 813 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,960 should the other taxpayers in the state 814 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,640 pay for your infrastructure because you 815 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,240 haven't been charging enough? Not saying 816 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,919 that's the case here, but that is a 817 00:32:13,919 --> 00:32:18,960 pretty common thing. But impact fees are that's a totally separate process 818 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,720 that's governed by some constitutional 819 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,159 principles and that's based upon what 820 00:32:22,159 --> 00:32:24,480 the actual impact is. So, we've gone 821 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,320 through an analysis and I I think the 822 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,480 difference, Jeff, between what we may be 823 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,159 charging, what another district is, is 824 00:32:30,159 --> 00:32:32,000 it probably costs more there and that's 825 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,720 why the impact fees are higher. 826 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,399 >> Well, I I've been impressed that we've 827 00:32:36,399 --> 00:32:38,000 been able to get grants and stuff to 828 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,799 help with some of our stuff, but we we 829 00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:42,559 do have older pipes and stuff that have 830 00:32:42,559 --> 00:32:45,279 to be done, but I think Trevor and you 831 00:32:45,279 --> 00:32:46,880 guys have really done a good job trying 832 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,840 to keep ahead of that. So, 833 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,519 >> yeah. And that's that's a little bit of 834 00:32:51,519 --> 00:32:53,279 kind of the challenge with some of these 835 00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:56,080 things because because if and I'm I'm 836 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,360 not a legislator. I know what it's like 837 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,039 to be in their shoes, but to me the 838 00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:00,399 simplest thing would just be for the 839 00:33:00,399 --> 00:33:02,880 state to raise taxes or raise funding 840 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,799 and just appropriate that rather than 841 00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:07,039 having these disperate fees that are 842 00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:08,720 going to impact every district and every 843 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,240 water user differently. But um there is 844 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,159 this I think approach to kind of move to 845 00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:16,480 a more feebased approach to thing. But 846 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,080 that particular fear is really just an 847 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,240 income tax. just apply locally rather 848 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,559 than at a a state level. 849 00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:28,000 >> Thanks, Nathan. Yeah, Elis, I think it 850 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:28,640 looks good. 851 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:29,360 >> Okay, cool. 852 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:29,919 >> You guys are 853 00:33:29,919 --> 00:33:32,320 >> And just to report, um, 854 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,799 >> we are within budget and our expenses, 855 00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:41,279 so when we submit our audit at the end of this year or next year, 856 00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:42,640 the state will be happy. 857 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:43,360 >> Okay. 858 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:51,120 with with the hearing we've got next uh Thursday, then we make a ruling on it 859 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,760 the following meeting. 860 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,519 >> No, the um agenda is set up to 861 00:33:57,519 --> 00:33:59,519 uh have the hearing. So, any public that 862 00:33:59,519 --> 00:34:02,159 attends, they'll have a a time to make 863 00:34:02,159 --> 00:34:03,279 comment 864 00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:06,640 >> on the proposed changes and then 865 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,280 >> uh we if the board sees fit, we can 866 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,679 approve that right there. We can 867 00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:13,200 >> in that meeting. We approve it in the 868 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,480 meeting. Okay. 869 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,320 >> I uh I'll also just point out a couple 870 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,760 things I that stood out to me. I think 871 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,000 it's a testament to the operations 872 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,480 managers especially um and their teams 873 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,200 on the engineering side as well. We 874 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,399 reduced our expenses from we're we we 875 00:34:34,399 --> 00:34:38,879 were less in 2025 than we were in 2024. 876 00:34:38,879 --> 00:34:43,440 Um, which tells me that we were we used 877 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,040 our resources better, we used less, we 878 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,760 used our people more efficiently. Um, I 879 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,520 think that's great to see when you see 880 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,440 our contractual services. Uh, we reduced 881 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,440 those substantially, 882 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,920 $168,000 883 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:02,240 from year to year. our materials and 884 00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:05,280 supplies went down minimally, but uh 885 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,119 considering cost increases in those to 886 00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:12,240 see that drop down, I was pleased to see 887 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:14,240 that. Um 888 00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:15,599 >> yeah, I was noticing how that all 889 00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:16,720 dropped down. So, 890 00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:19,119 >> yeah. So, I mean, these guys are they're 891 00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:20,160 really doing a good job on that. 892 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,760 >> That's right. So, when's the steak fry? 893 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,000 >> So, just I wanted to highlight that for 894 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:26,880 the 895 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,400 >> Thanks you guys.

Um, I let her 914 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,720 know that none of our facilities met 915 00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:10,240 that 916 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:13,430 uh 917 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,839 what they'd be looking for. It's too 918 00:36:15,839 --> 00:36:17,280 harsh of an environment to be storing 919 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,200 them and too much liability on our end. 920 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,520 >> Well, as the mayor, and I'm speaking for 921 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,440 the city, no, we don't. They're gonna 922 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,800 have to figure something else out 923 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,599 because we can't do that. U we as a city 924 00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:29,680 is building a float and through modern 925 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,320 display and they are going to they're 926 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:37,920 going to um house it for us and so we 927 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,839 plan on taking it out to other city 928 00:36:39,839 --> 00:36:42,960 parades and then they'll we'll bring it 929 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,200 back and they'll put it back away. But 930 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:46,720 um 931 00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:48,720 this situation that's happened kind of 932 00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:51,599 came from the other previous chair that 933 00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:53,520 actually told him to go ahead and build 934 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,599 this without approval. 935 00:36:55,599 --> 00:36:57,760 >> And so I'm trying to find a way how we 936 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,839 can fund that float too. Um but right 937 00:37:01,839 --> 00:37:06,000 now they need a place to build it and 938 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,280 then they need a place to be able to 939 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,839 house it. And I spoke with Granite 940 00:37:09,839 --> 00:37:12,480 School District about maybe 941 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,599 um the mechanic shop down there, but 942 00:37:15,599 --> 00:37:18,800 they don't want to engage in that unless 943 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,240 the city we end up buying that building. 944 00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:27,200 But so yeah, I just my recommendation 945 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,359 and I'm going to go back to the water 946 00:37:29,359 --> 00:37:32,720 side is we if we do it for one then and 947 00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:34,480 I'm going to ask Nathan for legal help. 948 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,480 we do it for one then we pretty well 949 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,560 open the floodgate for everybody 950 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,400 >> that that's always a concern. I mean I 951 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,160 think that this is unique enough to the 952 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,520 community that you could probably make 953 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,800 an exception there but I mean it sounds 954 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,480 the issue Andrew is one we don't really 955 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,160 have a a facility that's suitable to 956 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:50,560 store. 957 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,720 >> We don't anywhere that's large enough to 958 00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:55,599 fit it is either full or too harsh of an 959 00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:58,000 environment to store it. We actually 960 00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,599 back in the day when I first got on the 961 00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:01,280 board, 962 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,280 Ed Hansen was the manager and he stored 963 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,800 a float down at the sewer plant where 964 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,040 and I guess when they pulled it out, it 965 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,599 was just nasty and stinky. 966 00:38:11,599 --> 00:38:14,320 >> Just 967 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,000 >> Yeah. The only real option that we could 968 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,520 even offer if the board was in support 969 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,839 of it is to put it here in our out in 970 00:38:19,839 --> 00:38:21,680 our lot, which wouldn't be protected. 971 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,599 >> Now, you know what? I just think it's my 972 00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:26,400 recommendation is from the water side 973 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,040 and the board can decide. I just think 974 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,000 if we I don't think it's a good practice 975 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,760 to do that because I think if you do it 976 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:34,800 then 977 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,000 >> you know somebody else from the 978 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,680 community might want to bring something 979 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,240 up here and but you know I'm open to 980 00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:41,520 what you guys want. 981 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,280 >> No liility liility is too high.

The other 987 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,560 thing that they they reached out about 988 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:08,880 was us using our water trailer at the church. I guess they're changing 989 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,320 locations where they're going to be 990 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,040 centered. 991 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,880 >> No, now that's all changed back.

I I would be totally comfortable 1218 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,800 with $100,000 because that would take a 1219 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,240 lot of this off here. 1220 00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:02,160 >> Yeah, it would. 1221 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,839 >> And that way we don't have to bring that 1222 00:47:05,839 --> 00:47:09,520 Okay, let's move on to Haneswells number seven. 1223 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,960 >> Okay. Um, so as you know, we were doing 1224 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,400 the Haneswell 7 rehabilitation project. 1225 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,119 Um, that's been completed for a while 1226 00:47:19,119 --> 00:47:25,280 and during that process, we had to um 1227 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,560 develop the well a little bit more and 1228 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:33,119 there were a few sections within that were stubborn. we were getting the 1229 00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:36,240 sand down to a acceptable level and it 1230 00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:38,560 took more than the hours that were in 1231 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,800 the original contract. 1232 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,760 And so that's that's basically what this 1233 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,319 is. We just got the cost from the the 1234 00:47:46,319 --> 00:47:48,880 contractor and so bringing that back to 1235 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,760 you. Um we were trying to reach a level 1236 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,000 of 100 parts per million or less in each 1237 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,160 zone. They break them up in like 10 foot 1238 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,560 zones and there were a couple about 20 1239 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,680 ft that was higher than that. And it was 1240 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,240 to our benefit to get that sand down 1241 00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:06,560 lower one for the pump itself. And then 1242 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,040 once that water reaches the EDR, we're 1243 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,800 not clogging up those pref filters. 1244 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,359 >> You get the sand down. You bail it out. 1245 00:48:13,359 --> 00:48:15,760 >> Well, they essentially Yeah. develop 1246 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,720 with a dual swab tool that will pull put 1247 00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:21,359 like push and pull that material until 1248 00:48:21,359 --> 00:48:22,160 the sand is 1249 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:23,760 >> makes it settle or they pull it out. 1250 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,680 >> They pull it out. They bell it. 1251 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:26,319 >> Yeah. 1252 00:48:26,319 --> 00:48:29,119 >> But they're basically directing the 1253 00:48:29,119 --> 00:48:30,960 water in a certain zone. Yeah. They'll 1254 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,559 go down in like 20 foot zones and just 1255 00:48:34,559 --> 00:48:37,119 work that zone and then once the sand 1256 00:48:37,119 --> 00:48:38,480 >> pulling it in through the 1257 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:38,960 >> Yeah. 1258 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:39,680 >> through the 1259 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,520 >> Yeah. So getting all those You have your 1260 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,079 gravel pack, but there's fine sands that 1261 00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:45,440 will make it through that. So they're 1262 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,040 trying to get rid of all of that back 1263 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,119 in. So we're not pulling that in when we 1264 00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:50,720 pump. 1265 00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:52,400 >> Well, that's pretty cheap if we got it 1266 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,839 to meet the requirement. 1267 00:48:53,839 --> 00:48:56,960 >> Yeah. And it's been up and running. Um 1268 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,119 they've been using that all winter and 1269 00:48:59,119 --> 00:48:59,520 it's 1270 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:00,640 >> allong. So 1271 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,200 >> that sand will cost us in a pump cost. 1272 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,280 >> Yes. As well as at the edr. So a 1273 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:06,400 >> lot more than that. 1274 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,640 >> Very beneficial for us to get that to 1275 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,040 where we are comfortable and it's you 1276 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,319 know not producing sand. So 1277 00:49:14,319 --> 00:49:16,880 >> okay. So Mr. Chairman like to make a 1278 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,640 motion to approve uh Hannes well number 1279 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,720 seven rehabilitation project change 1280 00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:25,520 order with turban services for 1281 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:30,069 $26,262.50. 1282 00:49:30,079 --> 00:49:31,200 I'll second that. 1283 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,200 >> Motion second. All in favor? I 1284 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:33,680 >> I 1285 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,760 >> thank you. 1286 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,760 >> Okay. Approval of the UASD 1287 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,079 2026 annual membership dues. 1288 00:49:42,079 --> 00:49:45,520 >> Um yeah, I can I can take that and Le 1289 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,280 can support it. Uh she put this 1290 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,240 together. Obviously, this is to continue 1291 00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:53,359 our membership in the Utah Association 1292 00:49:53,359 --> 00:49:55,680 of Special Districts. 1293 00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:00,240 um they charge their fees, membership 1294 00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:02,960 fees based on your annual operating 1295 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,839 budget. So, you have to go uh into that 1296 00:50:05,839 --> 00:50:10,960 table that's in your uh packet and find 1297 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,280 where we are in there and then the 1298 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,359 equivalent fee. So, we're in that 9 1299 00:50:15,359 --> 00:50:19,119 million to $15 million range and that's 1300 00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:22,160 where the $12,68 1301 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,760 is. I think that's fairly significant 1302 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,520 cost for a membership. Um, so it's not 1303 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,319 something that uh we just want to rubber 1304 00:50:32,319 --> 00:50:34,880 stamp on, but I will say that we have 1305 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,400 found in our experience that they've 1306 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,079 actually done quite a bit for the 1307 00:50:40,079 --> 00:50:43,280 district. Um and anytime we've had an 1308 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:47,040 issue where they could provide lobbying 1309 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,079 efforts on uh they've been active in 1310 00:50:50,079 --> 00:50:52,319 trying to set up meetings with the 1311 00:50:52,319 --> 00:50:54,000 legislature 1312 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,000 and then they also provide the annual 1313 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,079 training. So I think it's a worthwhile 1314 00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:00,800 effort from my opinion but I think the 1315 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,480 >> I don't like to see how they charge it 1316 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,200 based on your annual your your gross 1317 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,599 amount. I would rather see them base it 1318 00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:10,000 on your population of the community, 1319 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,640 >> but but we don't see the stuff they do 1320 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:17,119 at the legislature and stuff. And I'm all for them. I think they do a 1321 00:51:17,119 --> 00:51:18,880 great job, the training and everything 1322 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,880 they do, and they they'll back us up 1323 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,160 100%. 1324 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,520 >> Yeah. If that's something that you'd 1325 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,079 like me to bring up in a 1326 00:51:26,079 --> 00:51:30,079 >> I just think it it looks bad if it's kind of like insurance. If they 1327 00:51:30,079 --> 00:51:32,720 base it on your gross volume, that 1328 00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:35,040 doesn't say the risk you have. I mean, 1329 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,920 the fact that we do water and sewer um 1330 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,079 and our population, our community, I 1331 00:51:40,079 --> 00:51:42,559 think would be a better to me it would 1332 00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:46,720 seem more realistic than your gross uh 1333 00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:48,000 revenue. 1334 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,240 >> I just don't think that reflects on how 1335 00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:52,480 much water, you know, we do it all. But 1336 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,040 and and I'm not just I'm just saying the 1337 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,200 way they report it, but I think what 1338 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,680 they do I I have no qualms about that at 1339 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,079 all. Yeah, Nathan might have some longer 1340 00:52:02,079 --> 00:52:04,480 term insight into why they do it this 1341 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:04,960 way. 1342 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,400 >> I I don't have much background on 1343 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,280 >> it's it's always been that way. I think 1344 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,200 at least during my tenure as an adviser 1345 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,319 to their board. Uh it's not something I 1346 00:52:16,319 --> 00:52:18,160 because just to explain my rel I'm an 1347 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,160 adviser to their board. I'm not a board 1348 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,720 member because I'm not actually part of 1349 00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:25,280 a district. Um, I used to be an exeicio 1350 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:26,800 member, but then that they had to change 1351 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,839 that due to I think some tax issues, but 1352 00:52:29,839 --> 00:52:31,680 um, so I'm not exact. I think it's it 1353 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,280 was probably done because I have a very 1354 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,119 small staff and it was an easier way to 1355 00:52:35,119 --> 00:52:37,680 do it. Um, but that's certainly 1356 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,520 something you could raise with them as a 1357 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,319 member.

They charge you by your gross 1435 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,280 sales. It doesn't even charge me by my 1436 00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:12,880 exposure, 1437 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,559 you know, as far as how many employees I 1438 00:55:14,559 --> 00:55:16,559 have or anything else.

I I think it's just like I 1448 00:55:37,119 --> 00:55:37,440 said, 1449 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,440 >> I think what you're getting at to me is 1450 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,640 would we be paying more providing dual 1451 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,839 services because 1452 00:55:47,839 --> 00:55:50,319 the dual service is reflected in our 1453 00:55:50,319 --> 00:55:54,240 cost, but that it's not dual population. 1454 00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:57,119 We're providing dual services for 1455 00:55:57,119 --> 00:55:59,040 30,000. So whether we were just 1456 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,160 providing water or just providing sewer, 1457 00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:02,480 >> right, 1458 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,160 >> it would be less. It would be less 1459 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,079 potentially. Now for another agency that 1460 00:56:06,079 --> 00:56:07,359 just does water, 1461 00:56:07,359 --> 00:56:07,920 >> right, 1462 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,680 >> only and they have the same population 1463 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:11,680 and then another district provides sewer 1464 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:12,559 to that same 1465 00:56:12,559 --> 00:56:13,040 >> right 1466 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,240 >> population. They would both be paying, 1467 00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:16,880 >> you know, 1468 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,079 >> I'm just saying they're using this for 1469 00:56:18,079 --> 00:56:20,799 an easy calculation and I'm not sure it 1470 00:56:20,799 --> 00:56:23,760 represents. And like I said, I'm I'm not 1471 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,720 complaining about what we pay. U maybe 1472 00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:28,160 in some cases it should be a little 1473 00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,119 higher, but they do a great job. I just 1474 00:56:31,119 --> 00:56:32,960 think that's a quick and dirty way to 1475 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:37,040 calculate it and I don't know maybe that's the fairest way. I don't 1476 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:37,599 know. 1477 00:56:37,599 --> 00:56:40,160 >> Yeah, it does capture the sewer and 1478 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:49,349 water but like I said u I don't know. 1479 00:56:49,359 --> 00:56:52,079 » Okay, we could just ask him is there any 1480 00:56:52,079 --> 00:56:54,319 other way to calculate it? Yeah, 1481 00:56:54,319 --> 00:56:55,200 >> I think that's reasonable. 1482 00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,680 >> If you think about a company that 1483 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,640 services just water, I would imagine 1484 00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,400 their numbers would be lower for the 1485 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:03,599 same population possibly. 1486 00:57:03,599 --> 00:57:04,799 >> Right. Right. 1487 00:57:04,799 --> 00:57:06,880 >> Or if you're buying Jordan Valley water, 1488 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,480 then they would be higher and you'd pay 1489 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,000 more. 1490 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:10,559 >> That's right. 1491 00:57:10,559 --> 00:57:12,480 >> That's a good point, huh? 1492 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,400 >> If you're having to buy the water and 1493 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,480 then do it, then you're paying more, 1494 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,799 right? And then you've got you're you're 1495 00:57:18,799 --> 00:57:20,240 double paying because you got them 1496 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,440 lobbying plus Jordan Valley lobbying. I 1497 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,280 don't know. 1498 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,040 >> I guess I better just shut up. 1499 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:28,880 >> No. Good questions. 1500 00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,640 >> I got fell asleep. No, I'm just kidding. 1501 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,799 >> Okay. You want to Someone wants to 1502 00:57:34,799 --> 00:57:36,240 motion this. 1503 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,880 >> Yeah. Uh Mr. Chairman, I'll motion to 1504 00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,960 approve the US UASD 2026 annual 1505 00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,880 membership dues for $12,68. 1506 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:47,760 I'll second that 1507 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,280 >> in. Motion second. All in favor? 1508 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,480 >> I 1509 00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:56,789 motion carries. 1510 00:57:56,799 --> 00:57:58,799 » I'm sorry, Mr. Chair. On this agenda, 1511 00:57:58,799 --> 00:58:00,799 for some reason, I forgot to put names 1512 00:58:00,799 --> 00:58:04,240 by the items. So, I think the next item 1513 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:05,839 >> I was just guessing. 1514 00:58:05,839 --> 00:58:07,920 >> I know. I apologize. 1515 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,359 >> No, you're good. 1516 00:58:09,359 --> 00:58:12,480 We wanted to get clarification on and 1517 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,520 wishes from the board on when they want 1518 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,480 us to start putting out the election 1519 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,240 notice. Clint, you can 1520 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,440 >> Yeah. So, I think we talked last time 1521 00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,680 about the aisle had put together a plan, 1522 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:26,319 >> right? 1523 00:58:26,319 --> 00:58:28,720 >> But we didn't really ask for the board's 1524 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:32,400 guidance on when to publish and put 1525 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:37,839 these notices out. Um, in the past, LEIL 1526 00:58:37,839 --> 00:58:40,960 has typically waited till we're much 1527 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:47,280 closer to the time to notify and open a 1528 00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:51,839 vacancy, you know, of the board. And so 1529 00:58:51,839 --> 00:58:54,799 I think last time in the conversation 1530 00:58:54,799 --> 00:58:57,119 there was some discussion about doing 1531 00:58:57,119 --> 00:59:00,240 that right away, but wanted to make sure 1532 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,400 that the board wanted to go that 1533 00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:03,920 direction. 1534 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:05,119 Um, 1535 00:59:05,119 --> 00:59:06,960 >> and Clint, if I may, yeah, I think that 1536 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,680 was that was my recommendation is that 1537 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,520 we have had 1538 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,079 >> the candidacy declaration filing is is a 1539 00:59:14,079 --> 00:59:15,359 little confusing because our 1540 00:59:15,359 --> 00:59:16,720 requirements are a little different than 1541 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:18,559 the municipalities and we've had some 1542 00:59:18,559 --> 00:59:20,319 just legitimate misunderstandings with 1543 00:59:20,319 --> 00:59:22,559 people that have come in to file.

So there's 1736 01:05:08,079 --> 01:05:09,839 >> there the only other thing I would say 1737 01:05:09,839 --> 01:05:11,839 and and Mick is aware of this being at 1738 01:05:11,839 --> 01:05:14,240 the same meetings I am up there now with 1739 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,960 the city is I I think there's a push 1740 01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,799 this session to we we've heard both from 1741 01:05:20,799 --> 01:05:22,880 uh President Adams and Speaker Schultz 1742 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:24,880 in the league meetings and one of the 1743 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,599 things they mentioned is that 1744 01:05:27,599 --> 01:05:29,440 they're they're they've been receiving a 1745 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,520 push by their constituents on property 1746 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,359 taxes and they were clear not not from 1747 01:05:33,359 --> 01:05:35,680 municipalities or districts. This was 1748 01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:39,760 coming from repres speaker Schultz but from school districts and and some 1749 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,000 other things and so they're getting some 1750 01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,799 pressure on property taxes and so there 1751 01:05:44,799 --> 01:05:47,200 there's quite a few property tax reform 1752 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,440 bills that are in the hopper. the 1753 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,680 counties are one of the bigger targets 1754 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,000 and so this is kind of working its way 1755 01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,559 through the I think the general 1756 01:05:56,559 --> 01:05:58,720 observation is I think there's a desire 1757 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,280 to lessen the property tax burden and 1758 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,760 move to more of a fee usagebased 1759 01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,160 approach to things and obviously the 1760 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:07,839 devil's in the details but the concern 1761 01:06:07,839 --> 01:06:09,839 for districts is especially if you're 1762 01:06:09,839 --> 01:06:14,079 growing districts you can't grow it's so much easier to be able to bond 1763 01:06:14,079 --> 01:06:16,640 and use property tax revenue so right 1764 01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,079 now I'm not exactly sure how that'll 1765 01:06:18,079 --> 01:06:20,240 impact districts Um, I will say in terms 1766 01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:21,520 of timing, we're about halfway through 1767 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,680 the session. They've, last I heard 1768 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:25,280 earlier this week, they've passed about 1769 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:26,640 40 bills. I think that's probably 1770 01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,039 increased, but this is a record year in 1771 01:06:29,039 --> 01:06:30,240 terms of numbers of bills. There's 1772 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:31,039 actually even 1773 01:06:31,039 --> 01:06:31,680 >> how many 1774 01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:33,440 >> there's there's even a bill from a 1775 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,200 freshman representative, Representative 1776 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,280 Okerland to limit how many bills they 1777 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,480 can. But the long and short of we're 1778 01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:41,520 going to be seeing it's going to be 1779 01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,200 coming pretty fast and furious. And I 1780 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,680 think I'll be texting 1781 01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:49,359 um uh Clint and Trevor, you know, on a 1782 01:06:49,359 --> 01:06:50,799 more regular basis of, hey, have you 1783 01:06:50,799 --> 01:06:53,839 seen this bill? Um so, but right now in 1784 01:06:53,839 --> 01:06:55,200 terms of water, there's that. There's 1785 01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:56,799 another bill from Representative Ward, 1786 01:06:56,799 --> 01:06:58,559 HB184, 1787 01:06:58,559 --> 01:07:02,079 that would allow um a property owner to 1788 01:07:02,079 --> 01:07:04,400 essentially propose their own lot 1789 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,240 specific land use requirement. 1790 01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:09,359 >> Right. the the concern with that one, 1791 01:07:09,359 --> 01:07:11,520 it's intended to support starter homes, 1792 01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:12,960 which is also a big priority of 1793 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,440 leadership this year. Um, and I'm not 1794 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,359 entirely the bills. I don't fully 1795 01:07:17,359 --> 01:07:21,520 understand the I think the intent is is to kind of essentially get a variance 1796 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,520 for your lot through a more simplistic 1797 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,200 process rather than necessarily get a 1798 01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,359 building permit. But that's not entirely 1799 01:07:27,359 --> 01:07:28,960 clear because if they propose it, they 1800 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:30,240 don't need to get a will serve letter 1801 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,359 from you. They could just go to the city 1802 01:07:33,359 --> 01:07:35,680 and say, "Here's what I'd like to do." 1803 01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,520 the city would have some discretion to 1804 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,680 deny it. And so it's not like it the 1805 01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:41,839 city would have to, but there's a 1806 01:07:41,839 --> 01:07:45,520 concern in the land use community that would kind of lead to statewide 1807 01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,920 zoning. And the concern that I I would 1808 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:49,920 have is just the lack of consultation 1809 01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,079 with the utility on it. And I my 1810 01:07:52,079 --> 01:07:54,079 personal opinion is we I applaud the 1811 01:07:54,079 --> 01:07:56,160 whole idea of of starter homes. It's a 1812 01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:57,920 worthy goal because affordable housing 1813 01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:01,039 is the number one issue right now. But 1814 01:08:01,039 --> 01:08:02,480 we already have a development agreement 1815 01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,000 process where people can essentially do 1816 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:04,400 that, 1817 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,000 >> right? And one of the deal with the 1818 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,240 leagues with the league is they're 1819 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,799 talking about more affordable housing. 1820 01:08:10,799 --> 01:08:12,319 Well, it's kind of weird when you talk 1821 01:08:12,319 --> 01:08:14,319 about affordable housing and water, 1822 01:08:14,319 --> 01:08:17,839 right? With look at look at our water 1823 01:08:17,839 --> 01:08:19,279 where we're at right now. You know, 1824 01:08:19,279 --> 01:08:20,799 what's going to happen when spring comes 1825 01:08:20,799 --> 01:08:23,120 or whatever, but so how do you how do 1826 01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,000 you promote affordable housing? Are we 1827 01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,159 going to have enough water to for this 1828 01:08:28,159 --> 01:08:30,080 affordable housing? Right? I mean, it 1829 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:31,759 was just kind of like it was just 1830 01:08:31,759 --> 01:08:33,600 >> Well, the interesting thing about that 1831 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,560 bill is that it didn't really even 1832 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,319 require that it be affordable. It's just 1833 01:08:38,319 --> 01:08:39,600 you would have to deed restrict the 1834 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,679 property to sell it for at two years at 1835 01:08:41,679 --> 01:08:42,640 market rate, 1836 01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:43,040 >> right? 1837 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,520 >> It was at or below market rate. So, that 1838 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,120 was the comment I made at the league is 1839 01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:48,880 I wasn't quite sure what this would fix 1840 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:50,319 because 1841 01:08:50,319 --> 01:08:52,000 >> if you're selling at a market rate, it's 1842 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,560 not affordable or a starter home. But 1843 01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:56,960 anyway, I I typically just the way the 1844 01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,000 session works and I we probably won't 1845 01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,520 this is the last time we'll meet before 1846 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:02,719 the end of the session. So, it's a 1847 01:09:02,719 --> 01:09:04,640 little bit of a challenge because most 1848 01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:06,080 of the bills that are going to be passed 1849 01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:07,920 are going to happen between now and the 1850 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:09,679 end of the session before our next board 1851 01:09:09,679 --> 01:09:12,000 meeting. So, I what I would just make 1852 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,199 sure that we're on the same page is that 1853 01:09:15,199 --> 01:09:17,120 we work with if if you guys are okay 1854 01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:18,880 with me working with Clint and then to 1855 01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:20,480 the extent needed, we can bring in Mick. 1856 01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:22,400 that sometimes we just need to may make 1857 01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,000 an executive decision on whether we're 1858 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:25,440 going to oppose something or not in 1859 01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:27,520 accordance with your goals that we 1860 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:28,719 understand 1861 01:09:28,719 --> 01:09:30,640 >> because we may not have time to convene 1862 01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:31,600 another board. 1863 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:31,920 >> Okay. 1864 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:33,120 >> I I do think that there 1865 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,600 >> So that'll be in the next couple days. 1866 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:36,880 >> Well, the session goes through the first 1867 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:37,839 week of March. 1868 01:09:37,839 --> 01:09:38,799 >> Oh, first of March. 1869 01:09:38,799 --> 01:09:40,560 >> So, we're about we're half we're roughly 1870 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,159 halfway through the session. 1871 01:09:42,159 --> 01:09:42,640 >> Wow. 1872 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,480 >> But now is when all of the bills will be 1873 01:09:44,480 --> 01:09:45,759 passed. They usually spend the first 1874 01:09:45,759 --> 01:09:47,040 part of the session working out the 1875 01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,520 budget stuff and that's why they haven't 1876 01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,120 passed as much bills. 1877 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,279 >> Um there is a lot of focus on water this 1878 01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:55,600 year. I I don't so far it hasn't really 1879 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,920 been that impactful to you. 1880 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,640 >> Um there's a lot on infrastructure. I 1881 01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:01,760 don't know how some of those build 1882 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,679 bigger like there was one bill by S 1883 01:10:03,679 --> 01:10:07,840 SB198 which um by Senator Sandal which 1884 01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,239 would create a state water manager to to 1885 01:10:10,239 --> 01:10:12,159 potentially build large regional 1886 01:10:12,159 --> 01:10:14,000 infrastructure projects and local 1887 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:15,600 districts or special districts could 1888 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,000 propose projects. I don't know if that 1889 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:22,000 bill will move. There's so right now I 1890 01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:23,280 I've mentioned the one that I think is 1891 01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:24,640 the biggest impact which would be that 1892 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,040 potential fee. Uh the other one that you 1893 01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,760 guys are already doing is that if for 1894 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,840 any water provider that's requiring a 1895 01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,000 water dedication that you would have to 1896 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:35,760 have your 40-year plan in place, but you 1897 01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,560 guys already do. So we're that that 1898 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,239 wouldn't impact you and actually I think 1899 01:10:40,239 --> 01:10:43,440 that's a good idea. Um so that's my 1900 01:10:43,440 --> 01:10:44,800 report. 1901 01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,560 >> I think Bowen Collins has done a great 1902 01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,719 job. I think that forecast we used and 1903 01:10:48,719 --> 01:10:50,080 everything's been really good. 1904 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:50,640 >> I agree. 1905 01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:52,320 >> And it's prepared us for what's 1906 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:53,520 upcoming. 1907 01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,320 >> I The only thing I don't like to is that 1908 01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,800 uh high density housing that can really 1909 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,360 have a big impact on us and there's no 1910 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:07,750 way you can plan for that other than uh 1911 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,280 I don't know there's no way you can plan 1912 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,080 for it. Uh maybe minimize it, limit it 1913 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,000 or something. We'll just have to see. 1914 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:15,760 >> Well, one of the things they said that 1915 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:17,520 Speaker Schultz said when he spoke with 1916 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,360 us that he's like, "We've put a lot of 1917 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:21,040 focus on apartments and you guys have 1918 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:22,400 stepped up to the plate. We've built a 1919 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:23,760 lot of apartments and now we want to 1920 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:27,440 shift to starter homes. So that to me 1921 01:11:27,440 --> 01:11:30,000 implies some lesser density. I mean, a 1922 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:31,280 starter home is going to be less dense 1923 01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,840 than an apartment building. Um, those 1924 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:35,840 starter homes they put down there on 1925 01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:43,120 8,000 with Thomas Thomas property. Those are bad. I mean, big deep lots 1926 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:46,640 with water in the in the crawl space and 1927 01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,199 everything. It was just not done right. 1928 01:11:49,199 --> 01:11:52,080 And I think if we take if they were to 1929 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:53,920 put in everything they need to do, the 1930 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,320 problem is even in high impact, it's 1931 01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:59,120 still 500,000. That's not affordable 1932 01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,840 housing. So the contractor is still 1933 01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,120 making their money, but it's not 1934 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:04,080 affordable. 1935 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,320 >> Well, that's that's the problem. 1936 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,239 >> The problem I have with that whole 1937 01:12:08,239 --> 01:12:10,719 situation. So you turn around about 1938 01:12:10,719 --> 01:12:12,560 affordable housing. Okay. What is 1939 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,679 affordable? I mean, I feel like Magna's 1940 01:12:15,679 --> 01:12:17,600 got probably the most affordable housing 1941 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,640 out here, you know, out here around. And 1942 01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:22,719 they want us they want us to bring in 1943 01:12:22,719 --> 01:12:24,960 more affordable housing. Well, 1944 01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,120 >> I'm not in favor of that. And, you know, 1945 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,199 about the apartment deal is 1946 01:12:29,199 --> 01:12:30,960 >> they said about building bring, you 1947 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:32,640 know, doing more apartments. Well, what 1948 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:34,239 do them people that rent them 1949 01:12:34,239 --> 01:12:36,159 apartments, do they invest in the city? 1950 01:12:36,159 --> 01:12:38,080 Absolutely not. They have nothing to 1951 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:39,360 invest in the city. No, 1952 01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:41,040 >> they they might come to the store, but 1953 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:42,560 other than doing anything else in the 1954 01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:44,640 city, they go outside of the city. 1955 01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:45,840 >> And that's what I'm trying to figure out 1956 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,000 is our leakage from here to West Valley. 1957 01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,480 What we're what our leakage is 1958 01:12:50,480 --> 01:12:52,640 >> and all that stuff. But no, I just I 1959 01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,360 struggle with the high density housing. 1960 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,120 That that's one thing I'm not I'm not 1961 01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,280 for. I feel like we we're dealing with 1962 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,840 this up here. This has been nothing. Our 1963 01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:03,760 time's been spent up here with this 1964 01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:04,560 problem. 1965 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,800 >> Yeah. We've had to bail them out. If we 1966 01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,640 didn't come with suggestions, that would 1967 01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:10,960 be even worse. 1968 01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:12,960 >> Uh anyhow, I mean, we'll we'll work 1969 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:14,960 through it and see what we're at. But 1970 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:16,480 our next board meeting is going to be 1971 01:13:16,480 --> 01:13:21,600 March 12th, uh 2026 here at 10:00 a.m. 1972 01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,080 >> Yeah.

I I don't know if it's 2055 01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,520 going to pass. Typically, in my 2056 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,280 experience, the land use bills that come 2057 01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:17,120 out early in the session 2058 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:20,480 >> are not the ones that typically pass. 2059 01:16:20,480 --> 01:16:22,000 They usually get folded into something 2060 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,600 there. What typically happens is there's 2061 01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,480 a big land use bill every year and it 2062 01:16:26,480 --> 01:16:29,199 comes out the last two weeks and the 2063 01:16:29,199 --> 01:16:31,440 league will be letting us know, but they 2064 01:16:31,440 --> 01:16:33,120 usually kind of hold that back until the 2065 01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,120 very end. And that's where some of 2066 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:36,480 you'll see some concepts from some of 2067 01:16:36,480 --> 01:16:37,760 these bills that you'll see in the 2068 01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:39,920 beginning that'll make it at the end. 2069 01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,199 But I don't know if 2070 01:16:41,199 --> 01:16:43,120 >> so how that's going to impact us, I can 2071 01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,920 only speak from experience is uh they 2072 01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:47,679 build a house and they run the sewer out 2073 01:16:47,679 --> 01:16:50,000 and they don't compact it good and then 2074 01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,880 what happens? Five or 10 years the sewer 2075 01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,560 settles and gets a hump in it and then 2076 01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:56,080 they're calling saying my sewer is 2077 01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:59,440 plugged. So, I think we just need a 2078 01:16:59,440 --> 01:17:01,120 better snake that goes all the way up 2079 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,719 and inspects the cl the homeowner. 2080 01:17:04,719 --> 01:17:06,640 That's where that's the biggest problem 2081 01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:08,480 we can have. Either a cross connection 2082 01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:11,440 or a settled sewer line going to the 2083 01:17:11,440 --> 01:17:14,159 street.
