[1:19] again, I'd like to welcome the public

[1:21] and guest. And does anybody here have a

[1:23] public comment they want to address to

[1:25] the board?

[1:29] Okay, moving on. Does anybody here today

[1:32] have a conflict of interest with what's

[1:34] on our agenda?

[1:36] God, this is easy. So, uh let's move on

[1:40] to our uh employees. Are you going to

[1:42] talk about that?

[1:43] >> Yeah. Um first we have Quinn Grande

[1:47] wasn't able to make it up today. Uh

[1:48] Quinn's on our uh sewer collections

[1:52] crew. He's working towards getting uh

[1:56] the certifications needed to be able to

[1:57] join the on call service. And so he

[2:01] recently completed water dispiration 2

[2:04] uh which is great. He's moving right

[2:06] along quickly. He's a fairly new

[2:08] employee and we're excited that he is

[2:10] willingly

[2:12] going forward with getting more

[2:13] certifications.

[2:15] The next employee that we have to

[2:17] recognize is here with us, Ed Tucker. uh

[2:21] you recently attended the cross

[2:23] connection program administrator course.

[2:25] It was a week-long course with a test at

[2:28] the end. Um maybe Matt can go a little

[2:31] bit more in depth than what this does

[2:33] for us as a district.

[2:35] >> Well, the we're required to have an

[2:37] administrator on to recognize all the

[2:40] our cross connection controls that we

[2:42] enforce with our businesses and

[2:44] residential. So Ed will be able to help

[2:47] me to recognize plumbing codes for

[2:49] what's required certain backflows in

[2:52] certain situations and hazard levels.

[2:54] And so it just be it'll be good to have

[2:57] him on to help me out.

[3:00] >> So he can make a call if he finds a

[3:02] problem he can

[3:04] >> cause about he can pull a violation on

[3:06] that, right?

[3:07] >> Yeah. I mean, it's got to I mean, we

[3:09] have our authority statement in our back

[3:11] in our cross connection control program

[3:13] through the through the district to be

[3:15] able to enforce that.

[3:17] >> Yeah, it's been it's been great. Uh it's

[3:19] the first employee that we've had to go

[3:21] do this for us in quite a long time. How

[3:24] long's it been since you and Steve first

[3:26] did it?

[3:27] >> It's been probably at least 15 years

[3:29] since I've had mine and Steve's had his

[3:30] for 20 or so,

[3:32] >> probably.

[3:32] >> So, we're we're glad that Ed's willing

[3:35] to take on that role for us. Thanks, Ed.

[3:38] >> Well, thanks, Ed.

[3:39] >> Thank you, Ann.

[3:42] >> Okay, let's move on to our new employee.

[3:45] >> We got Daniel Klene. He joined us just a

[3:49] couple weeks ago. He's working with

[3:51] Chris Thompson on the construction crew.

[3:54] Uh he came with some experience working

[3:57] on cabinets. Uh he's jumped right in.

[4:01] and he's already working towards getting

[4:02] his CDL done so that he's able to start

[4:05] taking part in some of the more heavy

[4:08] lifting with the construction crew.

[4:10] Maybe you want to just take a minute to

[4:11] introduce yourself to the board and

[4:12] public.

[4:13] >> Yeah, my name is Daniel

[4:15] local. Been here since 03 went to Lor

[4:19] Cypress, played sports, did all the fun

[4:22] stuff for that. I actually got my

[4:24] appointment scheduled on the 24th for my

[4:27] CDL.

[4:28] >> That is awesome.

[4:30] Nice work. Thank you.

[4:32] >> Appreciate it. Daniel, thanks for coming

[4:33] in.

[4:33] >> Yeah, we're good to

[4:34] >> go.

[4:43] » Okay, let's move on to approval of

[4:45] common sense items.

[4:48] >> He could get out of here fast enough.

[4:51] >> Minutes of the regular board meeting

[4:53] held March 12th, 2026.

[4:56] Expenses from March 2nd to March 31st,

[4:59] 2026.

[5:02] Um, general expenses 1,172,936.70.

[5:08] Signs bank make bomb payment $82,530.83.

[5:14] » I'll second it.

[5:15] >> It's been a motion second. All in favor?

[5:17] >> I I

[5:18] >> Okay, let's move on to department

[5:21] report. General manager Clint Dilly.

[5:24] >> Thanks, Mr. Chairman. Uh you've got the

[5:26] report in there. I'll just highlight a

[5:28] couple things from that. Uh on staffing,

[5:32] we did have the service maintenance

[5:34] position for the water construction crew

[5:36] was filled uh by Daniel.

[5:38] >> Yep.

[5:39] >> Um

[5:40] on the office side, we completed three

[5:43] interviews yesterday for the office

[5:46] position and I think we're ready to make

[5:48] a recommendation to the board. we had

[5:50] some three good high quality candidates

[5:53] and so

[5:54] >> I think we'll be able to discuss that

[5:56] and uh move forward with that if the

[5:58] board is supportive. The other thing

[6:00] that's come up since the last since this

[6:03] report was generated, we do have a

[6:07] opening that came open on the water

[6:09] collections crew um

[6:12] >> sewer.

[6:12] >> Yeah, sorry. Water collection sewer

[6:15] collections crew.

[6:16] >> So have you posted has it been posted in

[6:18] house?

[6:18] >> Posted in house. It'll go open

[6:20] >> Monday.

[6:21] >> We'll open it Monday to the public.

[6:24] >> Okay.

[6:24] >> Yeah.

[6:25] >> So, if anybody knows somebody that's

[6:26] looking for a good job that willing to

[6:28] come to work every day and work

[6:30] >> Yep.

[6:30] >> that's what we're looking for.

[6:32] >> Um and then we had a notice given just

[6:37] barely on the water side.

[6:40] >> Yes.

[6:40] >> Uh for two weeks notice from Don

[6:46] to Honey.

[6:46] >> So now we're going to have another

[6:47] opening. So, we'll have another open.

[6:49] >> Jeez, I remember back in the day when I

[6:51] was young, you couldn't get a job here.

[6:54] >> You I mean, no matter what you did, you

[6:55] could never work here.

[6:57] >> And it was so funny cuz it, you know,

[6:59] just And today it's like since I've been

[7:01] here this last little while, it just

[7:03] seems like people come and they work and

[7:05] then they leave.

[7:06] >> Yeah. It's a challenging

[7:08] uh

[7:08] >> Oh, it's a lot of demand.

[7:10] >> Yep. A lot of demand.

[7:12] >> Competing with demand.

[7:13] >> Yep. Um

[7:14] >> so, we need two people. Anybody know two

[7:16] people that are looking that are good

[7:18] workers?

[7:20] >> Fortunately, we have had some good in uh

[7:21] candidates, I think, in the last few

[7:24] rounds.

[7:24] >> Right.

[7:25] >> But uh we'll be working diligently to

[7:29] get those filled and keep our crews

[7:32] staffed so they can get accomplish their

[7:34] goals.

[7:36] >> I wish we were younger, we'd apply.

[7:38] >> I I I feel bad that I feel bad that the

[7:41] office staff was pushed away just

[7:43] because of the pressure from the

[7:45] from people coming in. I wish we had a

[7:47] way to

[7:48] >> we have talked about that. Um it's one

[7:51] of the items in here we can maybe

[7:53] discuss.

[7:54] >> One of the comments I think that the

[7:58] we have to find a good balance between

[8:01] working with the customers that need

[8:03] assistance but also being firm.

[8:06] >> Yeah. Um, and if we spend if we we also

[8:11] want to understand why they're in the

[8:14] situation they are in, but if if we

[8:18] carry that all of those hardship stories

[8:22] with us, that can weigh on us.

[8:23] >> Oh, yeah.

[8:24] >> Right. So they've got to find that

[8:26] balance of uh and so what we've

[8:28] discussed is limiting how many

[8:31] arrangements we'll do per year uh maybe

[8:35] to two. Is that the latest discussion?

[8:38] >> Two is what we've been talking about.

[8:39] >> Um some people have made arrangements in

[8:43] the past the repeat offenders up to

[8:45] maybe six times.

[8:47] >> Oh.

[8:47] >> So they'll have to make arrangements

[8:49] several times. And the thought is is if

[8:52] we can limit those the amount of times

[8:54] we do arrangements and then send them to

[8:57] a contract as the third option

[9:00] >> and then that's it.

[9:01] >> I think your idea where you put things

[9:03] on pause for a minute for some reason

[9:05] that seems to get

[9:06] >> Yeah.

[9:07] >> From what I've talked to other people,

[9:08] it seems to deescalate that that moment

[9:11] they have to pause for a minute.

[9:13] >> It changes the

[9:15] >> intensity.

[9:17] You know, we've and I've always felt

[9:18] that we've been really good working with

[9:20] people, you know, that's struggling and

[9:22] everything.

[9:22] >> Yeah.

[9:23] >> You know, but

[9:25] >> just trying to find a balance.

[9:26] >> I've never heard anything negative on

[9:28] our part.

[9:29] >> Never. So,

[9:31] >> you know, it's kind of funny. You know,

[9:33] people complain. Sh, it's funny. You

[9:35] know, we'll issue we'll issue a citation

[9:38] out on the street for parking and we

[9:41] never hear a complaint, but as soon as

[9:42] we get a warning, they all go crazy.

[9:46] Do they?

[9:47] >> Oh, yeah. It's You can give a ticket and

[9:49] they don't say nothing. They just pay

[9:50] it. But if you give them a warning, they

[9:52] go crazy.

[9:53] >> It's all over social media.

[9:54] >> That's crazy. That seems backwards, huh?

[9:58] >> But yeah, we'll I think Leo's going to

[10:01] work on getting something prepared as a

[10:05] guidance, like a procedural guidance for

[10:07] that for the staff. If the board's

[10:10] supportive of that approach,

[10:11] >> I'm I'm supportive. Hey, really quick,

[10:13] going back just to direction. So, um,

[10:17] have we gone back and just kind of look

[10:19] at wages of where,

[10:22] >> you know?

[10:22] >> Yeah, look at the market.

[10:25] >> So, I do I look periodically. I think

[10:27] the last time I did it was probably when

[10:30] we were Auroral Water.

[10:32] >> Yeah.

[10:32] >> Um, in March.

[10:34] >> Okay.

[10:35] >> I just want to make sure.

[10:36] >> I would say that we're still

[10:37] competitive.

[10:37] >> Okay. I want to make I just want to make

[10:39] sure we're we're doing that to just make

[10:41] sure that we're in in the ball game.

[10:44] Yeah, that bulletin board at Royal Water

[10:46] was packed with uh job openings.

[10:50] >> Was it really?

[10:50] >> Yeah,

[10:51] >> they have a big, you know, square

[10:55] central pillar

[10:56] >> and it's all sides

[10:57] >> and it's, you know, it's 4 by8 and all

[11:00] sides are full with notices.

[11:03] >> We went through each of the job postings

[11:06] to see where we're comp if we're

[11:07] competitive, not just with operators,

[11:09] but with engineers and managers as well.

[11:13] looked like we're in line.

[11:14] >> Well, you know, and the thing is also

[11:16] too, you know, and when when I was young

[11:18] just a while back ago, haha. But anyhow,

[11:21] you know, we are always looking for a

[11:22] job that makes big money, right? And you

[11:24] don't stop and realize that this job,

[11:27] you know, to have a job like this is

[11:29] very fortunate because, you know, your

[11:31] chances of losing your job is pretty

[11:33] slim to none and you got great benefits.

[11:36] You got a great retirement. So you got

[11:38] to kind of look at the money is one

[11:40] thing, but you also got to look up

[11:42] outside there because I know like you

[11:44] said back in the day you could have went

[11:46] and worked at Kennott, made a little bit

[11:47] more money, but you decided to stay here

[11:50] and it's been it was a great job for

[11:52] you.

[11:52] >> Yeah. Well, you went strikes them

[11:55] strikes would kill you.

[11:57] >> But some people trying to steal guys

[11:59] will make promises they can't keep,

[12:01] >> right?

[12:02] >> Trying to sway them away.

[12:04] >> Yeah.

[12:05] I think that one of the things that

[12:07] might be worth really exploring with the

[12:09] union in the next contract is

[12:12] flexibility. I think a lot of the

[12:15] younger generation is looking for more

[12:17] flexibility with time off.

[12:20] Um they almost value that more than

[12:22] other benefits.

[12:24] >> So that might be something that the

[12:26] union looks at. So when you say um when

[12:29] you mean by more time off so you know

[12:32] the thing I look at it is for more time

[12:34] off then how do we can how do we

[12:36] operate? Well, that's the challenge,

[12:38] right?

[12:39] >> And I don't think it's more time off for

[12:40] somebody like Matt Skogerbo.

[12:43] >> It's more time off at the for the new

[12:45] employee

[12:47] >> or or it's flexibility.

[12:49] >> You know, we we don't let them take much

[12:52] unauthorized

[12:57] unpaid use and if it's unauthorized,

[13:00] then we

[13:00] >> if they don't have time.

[13:02] >> Yeah. You know,

[13:02] >> but you know, with the holidays they

[13:04] have nowadays here.

[13:06] >> Yeah. and then four days off.

[13:08] >> Yeah, you would think

[13:08] >> it's they got plenty of time off.

[13:11] >> When I worked here, I had Wednesdays and

[13:14] Thursdays off and there wasn't and

[13:17] worked straight afternoons down the

[13:18] plant and there was no

[13:21] >> wasn't that many holidays, was there?

[13:23] >> I happen to agree with you. It's just

[13:26] >> you got different work ethics and

[13:28] everything now plenty of time off.

[13:31] >> They just don't see it that way.

[13:32] >> I don't know. I when when you you just

[13:35] start you you don't have a lot of

[13:37] credibility there. So

[13:38] >> I don't know how you can extend that

[13:40] because you're it's earned.

[13:42] >> That's right.

[13:42] >> Yeah. You got to earn it, you know,

[13:44] >> unless you and I think unless you want

[13:46] Matt, you want to give up some

[13:48] >> donate. Never mind.

[13:51] >> Yeah. It's a challenge. So

[13:53] >> Matt loves those three days. If we can

[13:55] come up with something that accomplishes

[13:57] both goals, I think it's always

[13:59] worthwhile to see

[14:01] >> see if there's something that we can do.

[14:02] But

[14:04] >> how much? So, let me ask you a question.

[14:05] So, for an employee, I mean, if they

[14:09] want time off, how much time off do we

[14:11] grant them? I mean,

[14:12] >> so, so right now,

[14:14] if the new employee the following

[14:17] January after they hire, they get 40

[14:19] hours of vacation,

[14:21] >> okay? Okay.

[14:21] >> Along with the sick leave that they

[14:22] acrewue each pay period, okay,

[14:25] >> of two hours per pay period.

[14:28] >> And then the following year on the 2nd

[14:31] January they're here, they go to 80

[14:33] hours.

[14:33] >> Okay.

[14:34] >> And I think once they get to that, you

[14:36] quit having the challenges. The

[14:38] challenge is is that employees from say

[14:41] we hire him in March getting to January

[14:44] with no time off

[14:47] and then some of it goes away and then

[14:50] there's the people that still have a

[14:52] little bit of challenge with having just

[14:53] the 40 hours that first year. Um and

[14:56] right now we have do have

[15:01] uh the comp time 20 hours a year. Not

[15:04] all employees are able to build that

[15:06] very quickly because until they can get

[15:10] their CDL and things like that, it's

[15:11] hard for them to come out on calls.

[15:13] >> Okay.

[15:14] >> So, we're but the board has been

[15:17] flexible with adding things like that.

[15:18] And so, I think

[15:20] >> it's just worth more conversation as we

[15:23] go on, what's what's doable and what's

[15:25] not.

[15:25] >> What are what are other people doing?

[15:27] >> Yeah,

[15:28] >> I think that's always good to look at.

[15:29] Well, but it it it's kind of a a

[15:32] building time because

[15:34] >> there's training and there's all that

[15:36] >> and that's very important. That's why

[15:38] you guys have set it up that way. It's

[15:40] very important to establish

[15:42] >> that credibility, that learning and all

[15:43] the things

[15:45] >> and how to work it in and

[15:47] >> you don't take time off on a Monday when

[15:50] you've got a big project going on.

[15:53] >> I think you guys have done pretty good.

[15:54] I maybe explained a little more, but I

[15:57] think

[15:58] >> Okay. Okay.

[16:00] >> Uh on the operations, I'll just

[16:01] highlight the secondary water. They're

[16:04] finalizing

[16:06] uh cleaning and testing and filling.

[16:09] Should be next week sometime by the end

[16:11] of the week. Still hit the 15th.

[16:13] >> Yeah.

[16:14] >> Deadline.

[16:14] >> The 15th.

[16:15] >> Um

[16:18] we'll talk about the secondary water

[16:20] here at the Copper Club. There's a line

[16:23] item for that, so I won't hit on that

[16:25] here. Then the EDR crew has been

[16:27] starting and flushing and sampling of

[16:29] the drinking water wells as we increase

[16:32] demands coming into the irrigation

[16:34] season.

[16:35] >> Yeah, we anticipate some demands on it

[16:36] with the warmer weather, but it still

[16:39] really hasn't hit a whole lot. I mean,

[16:40] the the wells we have flushed, we

[16:42] haven't used really. So,

[16:43] >> good news.

[16:44] >> Been nice to see the public still

[16:47] >> conserving water, I guess.

[16:51] On the wastewater side, Dallas has

[16:54] worked on that reuse, getting that up

[16:56] and going and help fill in uh the

[16:58] reservoirs.

[17:00] They've been looking at options for the

[17:02] trailer for the sledge hauling when ET

[17:05] Tech Technologies changes locations.

[17:08] We've had some discussions on the side

[17:10] dumps. Um sounds like they're still not

[17:15] finished out at the site,

[17:17] >> right? So, as soon as they get that at a

[17:20] place where we can see how that

[17:22] operation's going to be run and our

[17:26] options, we'll go out there and take a

[17:28] look.

[17:31] >> And then the collections crews been

[17:33] locating and raising manholes, buried

[17:35] manholes throughout the district.

[17:37] >> That's the first thing I thought of when

[17:38] I see him putting that sidewalk up

[17:40] 8,400. And I thought, I wonder if they

[17:43] know where that manhole is that got

[17:45] buried the last time. Remember?

[17:47] >> Yeah. There's four that are in conflict

[17:50] with what they're doing. So, we have a

[17:52] solution to the issue. But,

[17:53] >> right.

[17:54] >> Yeah.

[17:55] >> Well,

[17:58] >> on the office side, we talked about the

[18:00] past due collection

[18:03] procedures with the arrangements. Um,

[18:06] the controllers's got a draft of the no

[18:08] fault policy in this packet.

[18:12] uh it still hasn't went to legal counsel

[18:14] yet, but uh we'll be able to discuss

[18:16] that here and get the board's feedback.

[18:20] And then with YPI,

[18:22] they are coordinating with meter works

[18:25] for the data that we need to support the

[18:28] AMI. And then Trevor found a grant

[18:32] application that looks pretty promising

[18:35] to help pay for some of this.

[18:37] >> Yeah.

[18:38] >> That he's going to through water

[18:40] resources. It's up to 50% of the cost.

[18:44] Has some things that we have to do,

[18:46] submit a proposal, and then we have to

[18:48] track, you know, usage information and

[18:51] things of that nature to report. But

[18:53] looks looks like very promising.

[18:56] >> So, it sounds like we can fill that out

[18:57] in house and do that.

[18:59] >> Yeah. And Yapifi is going to actually

[19:00] help us. They've they've worked on these

[19:03] for others.

[19:03] >> Do we know how much that grant would be?

[19:05] >> It it's up to 50% of what your cost is.

[19:09] So, cost to build it.

[19:11] >> That's a lot

[19:12] >> to implement the

[19:13] >> Yeah. So, they gave us a quote of like

[19:15] 18,000. So,

[19:17] >> okay.

[19:19] >> Unless they add more, it would be 50% of

[19:21] that,

[19:22] >> right?

[19:22] >> Unless we can get some of the towers or

[19:24] some of that.

[19:25] >> Yeah, I think we'll we'll try to lump in

[19:27] our AM anything to do with our AMI. I

[19:30] think possibly even our messaging, you

[19:32] know, our yearly messaging through

[19:34] Yapify could be rolled in. So, we'll try

[19:36] to maximize that. But

[19:39] >> the gateways and the towers,

[19:41] that would add a lot.

[19:43] >> Okay. Uh, delinquent balances have been

[19:47] going trending back down.

[19:50] Uh, and the amounts the numbers

[19:52] >> that's such a big number, Clint, for

[19:54] $173,000, but yet the uh balance is only

[19:58] $270.

[20:00] That's the average of the ones of those

[20:04] 170 or 643 accounts. The average balance

[20:09] of each individual account is 27

[20:11] >> 270 a piece a piece

[20:13] >> for each one.

[20:13] >> So do we still when we go over and shut

[20:15] somebody's water off and then they is it

[20:18] still $100 connection to

[20:21] >> reconnect fee is $100. So once we shut

[20:24] the water off, then in order to get it

[20:26] turned on, they have to come give us a

[20:28] hundred bucks.

[20:30] >> We we use that somewhat as a negotiation

[20:34] tool. We tell them that if they pay the

[20:36] full balance instead of just the past,

[20:38] >> we'll wave the hundred bucks.

[20:40] >> Wave the 100.

[20:41] >> If they won't respond at all, we'll add

[20:43] that to their

[20:44] >> Yeah. 86% effective is pretty good.

[20:47] >> Yeah.

[20:50] So those get cut down dramatically

[20:52] by the red notices and we don't need to

[20:55] send anybody out

[20:58] to shut off.

[21:00] >> Okay.

[21:01] >> The communication just highlight a

[21:03] couple things. Magna, we're working with

[21:06] Magna Elementary on putting together a

[21:08] presentation for water conservation. Uh

[21:12] they reached out to us. They want to

[21:14] redo some of their landscaping with

[21:16] local scapes. So would be kind of joint

[21:19] partnering with Jordan Valley.

[21:21] >> Okay.

[21:21] >> To go out and give them a

[21:24] educate some of the kids. I think that

[21:27] would be fun for the district here and

[21:29] good community support.

[21:32] We held the precon with Dr. Horton and

[21:34] Salt Lake Excavating on the 4100 South

[21:37] water line. I think that's important for

[21:40] the board to be aware of with that

[21:42] high-profile project. We're hopeful that

[21:44] they'll begin construction

[21:47] soon, but they did have to order uh all

[21:50] of the parts. There were no nothing

[21:52] really usable from what was out there.

[21:54] >> Hey, Claire, when was we hoping that

[21:56] road would start? May.

[21:58] >> Yes, sir.

[22:00] >> Okay.

[22:01] >> The good news, I think, is they're using

[22:03] the same contractor. So, the road

[22:05] contractor and the waterline contractor

[22:07] will be the same. So, they'll it will

[22:09] all be within their scope. That's at

[22:11] least what they've communicated to us.

[22:13] >> Wait a minute. All the parts that were

[22:14] laying out there.

[22:16] >> It's been in the

[22:17] >> their supplier went out and looked at

[22:18] them and wouldn't warranty them.

[22:20] >> Yeah.

[22:22] >> So, in theory, you know, change gaskets,

[22:24] the pipe's probably okay, but they, like

[22:27] you said, wouldn't warranty anything.

[22:29] And

[22:30] >> what if they'll donate that pipe to

[22:32] somebody?

[22:34] >> Just have to put new gaskets in it,

[22:35] right?

[22:36] >> Was that is that on Dr. Horton's time?

[22:39] >> Yeah.

[22:39] >> Oh, okay. Yeah. have had that pipe for

[22:41] they've had that pipe for about a year,

[22:43] haven't they? Sitting there.

[22:44] >> It's been three to four years.

[22:46] >> Yeah. We hadn't taken ownership of the

[22:48] pipe. No.

[22:50] >> So that's

[22:50] >> I'm glad we had that checked.

[22:52] >> Yeah.

[22:55] >> We'll also not let you know we've got a

[22:57] local scapes class with Jordan Valley

[22:59] next week here at the district.

[23:01] >> What day is that?

[23:02] >> That's the 15th.

[23:04] Um

[23:05] >> tax day.

[23:06] Yeah, Wednesday. That'll be

[23:08] Wednesday. Myself and Trevor won't be

[23:11] here for that because we'll be at the

[23:14] WEAU conference, but LI and Dallas uh is

[23:18] going to cover that for us.

[23:19] >> What time is that? 6

[23:20] >> 5:30.

[23:22] >> That's 5:30.

[23:23] >> Well, I guess I should have looked.

[23:28] » And then we did have some calls on

[23:30] people asking when secondary water was

[23:33] going to be turned on. Um when it was

[23:36] real hot.

[23:37] >> Yeah.

[23:37] >> Uh some concerned people with their

[23:40] landscaping. But with the weather

[23:43] change, that's calmed down.

[23:45] >> Yeah.

[23:46] >> And then we do have been getting some

[23:47] calls. The tattle tattletailers are out

[23:52] on water wasters. So we do we are

[23:55] starting to get some of the uh water

[23:58] waste calls. um will you expect that

[24:01] that's going to increase especially

[24:04] after the discussion today if if we

[24:06] choose to change our conservation level.

[24:09] So that's my report unless you

[24:11] >> and you got Jordan Valley is what we

[24:13] voted on yesterday.

[24:14] >> Yeah, I listened to that.

[24:15] >> Okay.

[24:17] Trevor, let's move on to you.

[24:20] >> Engineering report. Um so influent pump

[24:24] station. Um things are going well out

[24:26] there. Just cruising along. There's a

[24:28] lot of work. Progress is made all the

[24:31] time, but you know, sometimes that

[24:32] doesn't show exactly, but just right now

[24:36] they've they're getting in some large

[24:38] diameter manholes for our kind of west

[24:40] side and our east side. Um coming coming

[24:43] in together.

[24:45] Um some more underground piping. Uh

[24:48] conduit runs. Power is to the the pump

[24:52] station, the screw pumps. um they were

[24:55] looking to start those up and and grout

[24:57] those channels, but they had some uh

[25:01] a drive was not delivered with those

[25:03] pumps and they realized so they're

[25:05] working with the supplier to get that

[25:07] out. Um so that got delayed a little

[25:10] bit. Um still on schedule overall though

[25:14] and in the grit building a lot of

[25:15] electrical work and getting those uh

[25:19] grit classifiers set up to function.

[25:21] We've also done some they've done some

[25:23] work in the east headworks grit

[25:26] separators.

[25:27] Um so things are moving well there.

[25:30] Haynes number eight. Um we've got an

[25:33] item on the agenda um that was bid and

[25:36] we we've got we got a good bid on that

[25:40] um for the drilling of that well. Um

[25:42] we're working with the EPA. Things are

[25:45] progressing there. Um, finally, um,

[25:48] they've got all the documents they've

[25:50] need and requested and changes and so

[25:53] they just need to do their final check

[25:54] off and then we'll have that grant

[25:57] application completed and we'll utilize

[26:00] that grant for the pump station of that

[26:03] well.

[26:05] Um, Westside Collection project 1B,

[26:08] we've got the design of that fiber

[26:11] relocate complete. We had a a meeting

[26:13] with all parties to discuss that. Got

[26:17] the drawings to the contractors and

[26:20] their um BD Bush, who is the contractor

[26:24] for that overall project, is getting in

[26:26] touch with some of U DOT's preferred

[26:28] boring contractors

[26:30] um to get some costs on that fiber bore.

[26:33] So, that's moving along. Well,

[26:35] >> they'll have to abandon that existing

[26:37] fiber and

[26:38] >> correct.

[26:39] >> How will they run the new one? Are they

[26:40] going to run the show or something?

[26:42] >> So, we did a lot of potholeing

[26:44] investigation in that intersection and

[26:46] throughout. We did more survey and it is

[26:50] it's a mess through that intersection.

[26:52] There's tons of utilities. There's

[26:54] multiple power lines, multiple gas. Uh

[26:56] we've got water lines, there's other

[26:58] communication.

[27:00] About 5t below the existing road,

[27:03] there's another concrete road section

[27:05] that was from the old highway. And so

[27:08] anyways, all of that adds up and and you

[27:10] look at it and the only way to get

[27:12] through is to go lower than the

[27:16] >> 17 feet lower than 17 for the fiber

[27:19] line.

[27:19] >> Yeah. So that's what we're doing. Um

[27:22] that's what the plan is. Um it's all

[27:25] been approved by Utah, you know, and

[27:27] everything. And so we've got that path

[27:30] forward. We didn't expect it to be this,

[27:32] but it's just

[27:34] >> And the company's still going to do it,

[27:35] right?

[27:36] >> Yeah.

[27:37] >> Okay. Yep. And then, you know, we talked

[27:39] with our driller that we have for our

[27:41] sewer. Um they're able to go through

[27:43] that conduit once the fiber is all

[27:45] pulled out. They're confident with that.

[27:47] And so, so that is it's progressing.

[27:50] Just um taking some time. Uh Westside

[27:54] Collection Project 3, we had a pre-esign

[27:56] meeting. That one will be kicking off.

[27:58] Um discussed, you know, kind of general

[28:01] alignment, some things we'll need to

[28:04] coordinate there with Kakott.

[28:07] um things of that nature. But that

[28:09] project design is is moving forward. Um

[28:12] change house uh operations building.

[28:16] We've got 90% design complete. We've got

[28:18] a submitt into the city for the land use

[28:21] application. It's a permitted use. Um

[28:24] that that's working through there.

[28:28] Um zone 3 secondary water reservoir. Uh

[28:31] we've got the 16inch pipe all complete.

[28:35] Um they're, you know, just continuing to

[28:37] put lifts on the dyke and grading in the

[28:40] bottom of that pond. We've seen a lot of

[28:43] just small spring groundwater um coming

[28:47] into that area. Um, our original geotech

[28:51] indicated that there was water, but you

[28:53] know, we're drilling a couple holes

[28:55] through that site and but this water has

[28:58] kind of been a nuisance and it's made it

[29:00] difficult for them to dry the material

[29:02] out, you know, on top of the weather

[29:04] that we've had and things of that

[29:06] nature. But overall, moving along well.

[29:10] Um we are looking at some ways to

[29:14] mitigate these um springs these wa the

[29:17] water that's coming in and that likely

[29:20] is going to be a change to the contract

[29:23] putting in kind some kind of additional

[29:26] drainage

[29:28] >> or piping appropriate.

[29:30] >> Yeah, it right now it's a chimney drain

[29:32] is the the the idea because a lot of

[29:34] it's coming in through the bank on the

[29:36] south side. it's water is just coming

[29:39] through anywhere it wants along that

[29:41] slope. Um and so that's a challenge for

[29:45] them to finish the slope and that those

[29:48] things, but we're working through that.

[29:51] Um lead and copper service lines that

[29:54] that's been going really good. We have

[29:56] pretty much all of our utility sides

[29:59] complete there. Um working on the

[30:01] customer sides. The general public has

[30:05] been really great working with us. Um,

[30:09] it's been surprising to me. I mean,

[30:12] we've had some challenges like one house

[30:13] has two cars in the way. They don't know

[30:16] where the keys are, but we're working

[30:18] through some things, you know, so some

[30:21] surprises. Um, but overall, the public's

[30:24] been great. The contractors been good to

[30:26] work with, and um, so that's progressing

[30:29] well.

[30:31] um

[30:33] finishing feed tank just moving along on

[30:35] design and then you know with our master

[30:38] planning we're uh working on rate

[30:41] analysis that we'll you know have have

[30:44] discussions with in the future but

[30:47] that's it

[30:48] >> I can I make a comment

[30:50] >> sure

[30:50] >> uh one thing that has happened in since

[30:53] the last meeting I don't know if you've

[30:55] seen but they have mobilized on the

[30:57] painting

[30:58] >> we're able to move forward with a

[31:00] painter

[31:02] >> under the emergency uh contract

[31:06] procurement since

[31:09] they were able to move right away.

[31:12] >> Yes.

[31:12] >> Uh we were able to get a bid um that was

[31:15] under the $100,000

[31:17] >> correct

[31:17] >> limit within the general manager's

[31:20] authorization. So we moved forward on

[31:22] that to get that repaired so that we can

[31:24] get it back online.

[31:26] We have to get okay from division of

[31:29] >> drinking water.

[31:30] that's been submitted

[31:32] >> which I'm working with to accelerate

[31:34] that. We should have a letter next week.

[31:36] >> Yeah.

[31:36] >> So, um just wanted to make you aware of

[31:39] that. Appreciate Don's efforts to

[31:41] >> Yeah.

[31:42] >> help make that happen and in a timely

[31:45] manner because if we wait, we're not

[31:48] going to be able to get that back online

[31:50] for peak season. So,

[31:52] >> right.

[31:53] wanted to make the board aware of that.

[31:56] >> Okay. Thank you.

[31:58] >> Okay, Matt, let's move over to you.

[32:03] >> Thank you, members of the board. All

[32:05] right. As far as the water production

[32:06] summary, the culinary water production

[32:10] for the month of March was 108.72

[32:14] million gallons or 333.68

[32:18] acre feet, which was a 7.48% 48%

[32:22] increase from March of 2025.

[32:27] Uh we have purchased

[32:29] uh so far year to date.

[32:33] Is this monthly right there? Probably.

[32:37] >> Oh yeah,

[32:38] >> sorry.

[32:38] >> Does this monthly have to be? So I don't

[32:42] know this. It's uh year to date is 19660

[32:47] >> 19660 acre feet from Jordan Valley

[32:50] water. So that number is from just March

[32:53] the 69.28

[32:55] March uh purchased

[32:58] uh a call out report for the water and

[33:01] wastewater combined total number of call

[33:04] outs was 16

[33:06] for a total hours of call outs of 51. So

[33:09] we had 10 water call outs for 33 hours

[33:13] and wastewater six call outs for 18

[33:17] hours. Uh one mainline leak, zero

[33:21] services and 15 miscellaneous

[33:24] that's showing

[33:31] and this gives you a breakdown of all

[33:33] what we had through the month of March.

[33:36] I think that's all I got. That's usually

[33:39] a call out the six collets on

[33:41] wastewater. What what are usually uh

[33:44] involved in a wastewater?

[33:47] >> Uh on the chart for March, we had a

[33:50] couple power bumps that resulted in ox

[33:52] ditch blower communication failures. So

[33:55] the operators had to go out and reset

[33:58] that equipment, verify that it was not

[34:00] damaged during the power disruption. Um,

[34:03] inside the scum well at clarifier 3,

[34:06] there was some grit that got on top of

[34:09] the sensor that blocked that. That

[34:10] caused a communication fault. So, they

[34:12] had to zip out there, spray that off,

[34:15] get that well operating again. Um, on on

[34:19] the screw press number two, there's a

[34:22] wash bar that rotates as it cleans that

[34:25] press off, and it's got a flag on either

[34:27] side of the rotating barrel. And

[34:29] sometimes that proximity flag gets

[34:32] bumped out of place and it'll cause an

[34:34] overt travel alarm. So they'll have to

[34:36] go out there and perform some

[34:38] maintenance on that. So

[34:39] >> So it's not out in the in the public.

[34:41] It's at the plant.

[34:42] >> Correct.

[34:43] >> Okay.

[34:47] » That's all I have.

[34:48] >> Okay. Thanks, Matt K. Dallas.

[34:50] >> Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, I'd just like to

[34:53] refer to the operations report for March

[34:54] of 2026. I've updated the parameter

[34:58] table to include our effluent ammonia.

[35:01] I've added the permit limit there in

[35:03] red. It's a 7 milligrams per liter

[35:05] monthly average that we have to be

[35:06] below. You can see for January,

[35:09] February, and March, we've been well

[35:11] under 1.0. Um, the reason I added that

[35:15] effluent ammonia is the what the intent

[35:18] behind the parameter table is to give

[35:20] the board and the community an overall

[35:23] idea of the performance of the plant on

[35:26] a monthly and quarterly basis. So, um,

[35:29] effluent ammonia, we've had some issues

[35:31] in the past, not for several years, but

[35:34] as oxygen becomes limited in those

[35:36] basins, um, the first red flag that we

[35:39] see is our ability to convert that

[35:42] ammonia to nitrate. Um, the nitrate in

[35:46] turn is an electron acceptor. Um, the

[35:49] biology can use it as an oxygen

[35:51] alternative. Um, so that's one thing

[35:54] that we keep a close eye on. that's the

[35:56] first thing we lose and it's also the

[35:57] last thing that we are able to get back

[36:00] in any type of process upset. So,

[36:02] thought it was important to add that on

[36:04] there. Um, the plants looking really

[36:06] good. Some of the monthly highlights I

[36:07] wanted to add was year to date for our

[36:10] total phosphorus at the effluent. Um,

[36:12] we're 0.93 is the current trend. Last

[36:15] year at this time we were 1.13. So,

[36:18] we're in a really good place with that.

[36:21] Um, and then last year in March, we

[36:24] didn't get any reuse recorded up to the

[36:26] system. Um, this year in March, we got

[36:29] just under 4 million gallons, and we hit

[36:32] the ground running in April. We've sent

[36:33] quite a bit of water up to those

[36:35] reservoirs. Um, and then just to quickly

[36:39] switch over to the collections crew, Mr.

[36:41] chairman. The vectors c uh currently

[36:43] operating around copper tree flushing

[36:46] those lines and then the cameras

[36:48] conducting its inspections in the mail

[36:50] neighborhood. So unless there's any

[36:53] questions, Mr. Chairman, that's my

[36:54] report.

[36:55] >> So So did uh did the weather the mild winter we have had any

[37:02] influence on these good numbers that

[37:04] you're

[37:05] >> It certainly helps. Um, it's not so much

[37:08] a good chunk of good weather or a good

[37:10] chunk of bad weather. What really

[37:12] affects the process is, um, good

[37:15] weather, bad weather. Good weather, bad

[37:17] weather. You know, if you're going from

[37:18] warm to cold, plus or minus 15 to 20°,

[37:21] it can upset the biology. Um, but good

[37:24] strings of good weather and good strings

[37:26] of bad weather certainly do help.

[37:27] >> Well, because it looks pretty good.

[37:30] >> Thank you.

[37:30] >> The performance looks really good.

[37:31] >> Thank you.

[37:33] >> Thanks, Dallas.

[37:35] Okay, let's move on to

[37:44] » Leisilele.

[37:45] >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, on this

[37:48] report, the blue reflex completed items

[37:51] and the yellow reflex

[37:54] items that are coming up.

[37:58] Um,

[38:01] >> yeah.

[38:03] Why don't you take a minute? You mean to

[38:05] take a call?

[38:09] » Um, I'll go ahead and will you go check

[38:13] on make sure she's okay?

[38:16] >> Thanks, Sandra. Um, I'll uh give Leo's

[38:19] report for her. So in here um the annual

[38:24] filing of impact fees report with the

[38:26] state auditor has been completed.

[38:30] Um we've got some quarterly budget

[38:33] reports to the trustees that are coming

[38:36] up in May. Um and some quarterly

[38:40] expenditures and revenues that will be

[38:42] posted to the Utah public transparency

[38:45] website.

[38:48] We've got a file with the lieutenant a

[38:50] registry with the lieutenant governor.

[38:53] Um that's coming up in April

[38:56] and then we've got to submit our

[38:58] quarterly payroll reports here in April

[39:02] along with I know Dallas and Lisa has

[39:05] been working on the municipal wastewater

[39:09] planning program report that we have to

[39:11] submit every year with division of water

[39:15] quality. Right.

[39:17] Is that the Division of Water Quality?

[39:18] So, they're working on that. That'll be

[39:20] due next week.

[39:23] >> Yeah, we'll we'll complete that and then

[39:25] we'll bring it to the board for

[39:27] approval.

[39:28] >> Yeah. Okay, great. We have completed We

[39:31] have to renew our SAM.gov res

[39:34] registration that's been done. And then

[39:38] the ethical behavioral written pledge to

[39:41] trustees and employees. We have to do

[39:43] that every annually. We'll be working on

[39:45] that uh with Andrew and some training.

[39:49] The grandma training is annual for the

[39:53] records officer which is the aisle. Uh

[39:55] she'll be working on that in and that

[39:59] should be it I believe for

[40:03] that report unless the board has any

[40:05] questions.

[40:06] >> Something I forgot to ask uh Dallas is

[40:09] the C7 ditch. We're hearing something

[40:11] about the C7 ditch. maybe changed as

[40:15] they want to extend the dyke or

[40:17] something. How's that been affected?

[40:19] >> Nothing's hit my radar. U no internal

[40:22] changes on our property.

[40:23] >> Okay.

[40:24] >> So, something we'll keep our ears open

[40:25] for though.

[40:28] >> Okay. We're going to bypass um Andrew.

[40:33] >> Mr. Chairman, if I could make a

[40:35] recommendation.

[40:36] >> Yeah.

[40:36] >> Um on the agenda,

[40:39] we do have the Copper Club.

[40:41] >> Yeah, I was just going to ask you about

[40:42] that. Let's move them up on top

[40:44] >> if you're okay. That's item K3.

[40:46] >> Yep.

[40:49] Let's go ahead and do that right now.

[40:51] >> Okay. Do you guys want to come up?

[40:55] >> Come up here and sit in the hot seats.

[41:00] >> Check.

[41:06] >> The battery's dead.

[41:09] >> Okay.

[41:11] just takes a minute to respond, I

[41:13] believe. Okay, go ahead and make

[41:14] yourself comfortable right there.

[41:21] » Thank you.

[41:23] >> So, Trevor, do you want to start us off?

[41:27] >> Sure. Um, so board and chair, we, as you

[41:30] know, we've had a lot of conversations

[41:32] over the last few weeks with the with

[41:34] the golf course. Um we've looked in

[41:37] depth at what the uh constructibility of

[41:42] um so I'll just start with what they

[41:44] have out there. Um they have a a large

[41:47] meter 4 in and then they have a a 1 in for their inside water to the

[41:54] clubhouse. Those are both in the same

[41:56] vault. And so what we're looking to do

[41:58] is extend our secondary water that's

[42:01] along 2600

[42:03] um to those vaults. And then we would be

[42:08] switching over the larger meter to the

[42:11] secondary water. And then we would be

[42:13] pulling the small 1-in meter out,

[42:15] putting it in its own uh meter box, and

[42:18] tying that over to the drinking water um

[42:21] for essentially a new service. and that

[42:23] and those three main things are here.

[42:26] We've looked at parts and material that

[42:28] are needed for each of those and then

[42:31] the amount of labor and the equipment

[42:34] needed to uh construct those.

[42:37] >> So they'll have to go from a 4inch meter

[42:39] to a 6 inch meter.

[42:40] >> That one will remain the same.

[42:42] >> Oh,

[42:42] >> same size, right?

[42:44] >> Oh, so it's the culinary water that

[42:46] we'll have to

[42:47] >> Well, we're pulling the co the 1 in out

[42:49] of the 4 inch meter box

[42:51] >> because it's in the same bowl. Yeah.

[42:53] Yep. Um and then so we've we've gone in

[42:57] depth and looked at hours, exact parts

[43:00] and materials, the equipment we would

[43:03] need, you know, if that's a track, it's

[43:05] a dump truck, it's, you know, all of

[43:08] those things.

[43:09] Um and we've provided costs for those.

[43:12] Um and then what we've done here is

[43:15] based on discussions that we've had with

[43:17] the board um and with golf course and

[43:20] internally is we've created a cost kind

[43:24] of a cost uh split.

[43:27] And we've got Copper Cub on on one one

[43:30] side and Magna Water District on the

[43:32] other side. And what we're proposing is

[43:35] that for the 10-in mainline extension

[43:38] that that is a benefit to the district.

[43:40] It moves our secondary water along and

[43:43] it provides a you know an ability to

[43:46] connect and Magna Water District would

[43:49] provide labor and equipment to extend

[43:52] that 10 in.

[43:53] >> Okay.

[43:55] um Copper Club would then

[43:58] um

[43:59] do the parts and material for that 10-in

[44:02] extension and then they would also cover

[44:05] the parts and material, labor and

[44:06] equipment for the 4-in connection and

[44:10] the 1 in connection. Okay?

[44:14] >> And those numbers are all there. Um we

[44:17] wanted to get the board's, you know,

[44:19] thoughts on that cost split and anything

[44:23] else. and also hear from the golf

[44:25] course.

[44:26] >> Yeah. Before they start, I will just say

[44:28] we appreciate meeting with Jared. Uh we

[44:31] feel like uh under his leadership down

[44:35] there as or as representative of the

[44:38] current board, we've noticed that he

[44:41] seems real proactive and wanting to get

[44:44] this get the golf course in a better

[44:48] spot. And so, uh, he he has been, uh,

[44:53] when we met with them, I think you guys

[44:56] understood and were willing to do, uh,

[44:58] this split as shown.

[45:01] >> Uh, so before we brought it to the

[45:03] board, we made sure that that was

[45:05] something that they were willing to do.

[45:07] Um, and he communicated some things to

[45:10] me that I think is positive in terms of

[45:14] the participation of on the golf course.

[45:18] uh over the winter has been positive and

[45:22] I think the what they're looking at in

[45:24] the future and so I'll turn the time

[45:26] over to you can maybe explain where you

[45:28] guys are at.

[45:29] >> Yeah. So thanks for having us again like

[45:32] when we began these discussions back in

[45:33] November. The the goals of the course

[45:36] were initially to reduce operating

[45:38] costs.

[45:39] After talking and dealing with this you

[45:42] know for the past several months the

[45:45] using water responsibly is going to be

[45:47] Our number one goal from this point

[45:50] forward um we realize the benefit to

[45:53] Magna Water and to residents of Magna is not just extending that line further

[46:01] down the road, but it's also with

[46:05] freeing up that culinary water that

[46:07] we're currently using for our greens and

[46:09] using reuse water. Um

[46:13] when it's all said and done, we don't

[46:14] know if that's

[46:16] >> correct.

[46:17] we'd be willing to pay 10% of that

[46:20] initial cost,

[46:22] you know, when we get the the final

[46:24] bill. Um, we're also going to we for

[46:28] some financial help to

[46:31] use that money towards this project as

[46:33] well. And then u

[46:36] you know,

[46:38] anything else? I think

[46:41] >> I think that's where we are right now.

[46:42] We we want to get it done. We want to

[46:44] get done.

[46:44] >> We realize the other course is going to

[46:47] be a bigger project.

[46:51] I've dealt with or been speaking with uh

[46:53] one of our members contractor who is in

[46:57] touch with somebody who has sonar

[46:58] equipment to test the outd

[47:03] And so we're going to try to track our

[47:05] water usage versus water loss on the

[47:08] fairway side. So we're going to do that.

[47:11] Um I don't know how much that's going to

[47:13] cost us. Couple thousand be out there

[47:16] for a day. Um but we are working towards

[47:19] that. We eventually want to move over

[47:22] move the entire course over. But again,

[47:24] we would need help from you guys.

[47:27] >> So Jared, I gota ask you a question. So

[47:29] out there um you know so is there grants

[47:33] that you guys can keep applying for? You

[47:35] know what I'm saying? That you're

[47:36] looking cuz I know the one that Britney

[47:38] send over um and then of course the one

[47:41] through us the city. But I was just

[47:43] going to see if you know we can keep

[47:45] looking too for grants and and maybe

[47:48] Trevor can tell you a way to look. Don't

[47:52] ask me because I wouldn't even know

[47:53] where to look, but he might be able to

[47:55] tell you where he could, you know,

[47:56] possibly look too. and whatever we can

[47:59] do as a district to try to help you guys

[48:01] that way too.

[48:02] >> Correct. Yeah, we I appreciate that. And

[48:05] the hard part that we're position we're

[48:08] in right now is we cannot apply for

[48:10] >> Okay.

[48:10] >> We are operators. We're not owners.

[48:12] >> Okay.

[48:13] >> And it's a boundary that the owner is

[48:16] not, you know, willing to

[48:19] >> Okay. So, I'm going to meet just I'm

[48:21] going to meet that. He sent me some days

[48:22] and we're going to meet next week. So,

[48:24] let me talk to him about that.

[48:25] >> Yeah.

[48:27] It's

[48:28] >> because it would benefit them too.

[48:30] >> It would it would but we can go I mean we can have if you guys

[48:36] can apply on our behalf as well.

[48:38] >> Right. Right.

[48:39] >> Would be helpful.

[48:40] >> Okay.

[48:40] >> And I mean we can we can research those

[48:44] grants. I'm happy to do it. We're happy

[48:46] to do it. Anything that we can do,

[48:48] >> we're happy to do.

[48:49] >> Okay. Great.

[48:53] » Okay. What do you we need to make a

[48:56] motion on this?

[48:57] >> Yeah. So, Mr. Chairman, I motioned that

[49:00] uh that we do the extension of the 10-in

[49:04] water line

[49:06] uh based on the on the outline they've

[49:09] got here for the participation amount u

[49:13] for the extension of the secondary water

[49:16] line to the copper club.

[49:19] >> I'll second that.

[49:20] >> Motion second. All in favor? Hi.

[49:25] >> Thank you.

[49:27] guys.

[49:30] >> I'm going to leave you guys.

[49:32] >> Now we got to get up with Steve and Matt

[49:34] and see when we can get it done. Huh?

[49:40] >> Tomorrow.

[49:42] >> Yeah.

[49:50] » Okay. So, we're at J then, Trevor.

[49:53] >> Start at J1.

[49:54] >> Maverick.

[49:55] >> Okay. Uh,

[49:58] all right. We'll jump to there. So, Ma,

[50:01] we've been uh working with Maverick uh

[50:04] Inc. Um, and this is where their Maver

[50:08] relatively new Maverick store is on 8400

[50:11] and SR201.

[50:14] And this easement is for Westside

[50:17] Collection project number two. We've got

[50:19] that design complete. Um, and there's a

[50:21] portion of that design shown here. Um,

[50:25] I'm going to zoom in. This this red

[50:27] section here is what is inside of

[50:29] Maverick's property. And in order to

[50:32] build this uh maintain it into the

[50:35] future, um, we've requested an easement

[50:39] from Maverick.

[50:41] Um the the amount of that is the 2599

[50:47] square ft. Um so through our discussions

[50:50] with the Maverick um we've got to the

[50:53] point where they're okay with the

[50:54] easement that we have and and that is

[50:56] basically our standard um easement that

[51:00] we use for all of our developments.

[51:02] >> And that doesn't affect their operation

[51:03] or anything. It

[51:04] >> it doesn't it doesn't. Um and they kind

[51:07] of came late in the game and asked for

[51:09] compensation. Um, I was hoping that they

[51:11] wouldn't, but they did. Um, and they offered initially $16 a square

[51:18] foot. Um, we had some conversations back

[51:21] and forth and we were able to to reach

[51:24] an agreement at $10 a square foot for

[51:27] the cost of that easement. So, that's

[51:29] where we get to the $25,990.

[51:33] Um, it is a little bit higher than we

[51:35] got from Kennott. Um they were at what

[51:38] we did six. Um but

[51:42] >> that's pretty good

[51:43] >> these properties along here and you know

[51:45] working with a corporation I feel like

[51:47] we've we've got a good deal there and we

[51:49] do need it for our project. So uh I

[51:52] recommend the board approving us paying

[51:56] Maverick for that easement.

[51:57] >> Yeah if you

[51:59] >> Okay.

[52:00] >> If you have any questions let me know. I I would like to propose then you

[52:06] approve the purchase of the sewer

[52:08] easement from Maverick in the amount of

[52:10] $25,990

[52:12] for Westside Collection Project 2.

[52:16] >> I'll second that.

[52:17] >> And motion is seconded. All in favor?

[52:19] >> I Okay, thank you.

[52:22] >> All right, we'll move on. We have here

[52:25] our Hannes well number eight uh

[52:27] replacement. This is the well drilling.

[52:30] Um, as you see on that, uh,

[52:34] recommendation letter, we had three

[52:36] contractors put in bids on that. Um, we

[52:40] have a base bid price and we have a bid

[52:42] alternate. And that bid alternate is

[52:44] just sound fencing in case that is

[52:46] becomes an issue. We we really only

[52:49] have, you know, one residential

[52:53] uh, property that's close. Um and so we

[52:57] thought having that in there we'll use

[52:58] it as needed. Um but pretty tight bids

[53:04] um from 1.1 to 1.2. Um the engineer

[53:09] >> does Wison ever do pump replacement?

[53:13] >> Yeah, pretty much development and

[53:15] replacement. Um but laying equipment the

[53:18] low bid. Um they're working on several

[53:20] other projects in the valley. Our

[53:22] engineer is currently working on with

[53:25] one with them. They're a great

[53:26] contractor.

[53:27] >> I'm surprised Lang does all the big

[53:29] stuff going clear third, you know, 3600

[53:32] feet in the ground. I'm really surprised

[53:33] they come in like that.

[53:35] >> Yeah. So, this was under the engineer

[53:38] estimate at 1.3. Um it's a it's a good

[53:42] bid and we recommend approving that and

[53:45] we'll move forward as soon as we can.

[53:47] >> One uh one consideration when you talk

[53:50] about just one

[53:52] person may be affected by the sound and the cost of it.

[53:58] >> We might approach them if the board's

[54:00] willing to just put them in a hotel.

[54:03] >> Yeah.

[54:03] >> Oh, really? It's that noisy.

[54:05] >> Well, I mean

[54:06] >> I mean that's the thing is we put it in

[54:08] there as a as a way to have it if we

[54:10] needed it.

[54:11] >> Yeah.

[54:11] >> We don't know that it's even going to be

[54:13] an issue.

[54:13] >> Yeah. If it becomes an issue, that might

[54:15] be a much less expensive option. And

[54:17] we've done that before when I was we've

[54:19] done that with other clients. on that.

[54:21] >> It's that noisy.

[54:22] >> It can be at times.

[54:25] >> So, that might be something we

[54:26] >> And it depends on how long will it

[54:28] depends on the neighbor.

[54:29] >> Is it a couple weeks or something?

[54:31] >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's

[54:33] >> you might

[54:34] >> all the activity depending

[54:36] >> some portions of it are much louder than

[54:38] others, but yeah.

[54:42] >> So, it's something to consider.

[54:45] >> Yeah.

[54:45] >> It doesn't affect this award

[54:47] recommendation.

[54:48] >> It does not. But we won't know until May

[54:50] till that's when we we get to start if

[54:52] everything goes okay, right?

[54:54] >> Yeah, that that's what we're looking at

[54:55] is that

[54:57] >> Yeah. Well, with where are we at? Um

[55:00] we'll likely issue notice to proceed.

[55:02] They'll put their contract documents

[55:04] together and then they'll mobilize.

[55:06] We'll be starting around May, I would

[55:08] assume.

[55:09] >> Um and then it'll be a few weeks beyond

[55:12] that. Yeah. So, my recommendation is,

[55:16] you know, we'll have them just start

[55:18] doing their thing and we'll see if the

[55:20] neighbor complains and then we'll

[55:21] >> How far away's the neighbor?

[55:24] >> It's

[55:25] I mean, it's got to be

[55:27] >> 3 400 ft.

[55:28] >> Yeah. Four or 500 ft. Yeah.

[55:30] >> 300 ft.

[55:31] >> So,

[55:32] >> that's Martin, right?

[55:33] >> Martin. Martin.

[55:34] >> Yeah.

[55:34] >> Have we noticed uh have we noticed noise

[55:37] in the past? Have we ever had a

[55:38] complaint?

[55:40] >> No. No. And it's just like, you know,

[55:43] Clint mentions one where you never know

[55:46] what type of neighbor you're going to

[55:48] have, you know, and it is a a loud

[55:50] process. And so we just wanted it there

[55:52] as a safety.

[55:54] >> So are we replacing are we drilling a

[55:56] holy well?

[55:56] >> We are.

[55:57] >> Okay. How far away are we from the

[55:59] existing one?

[56:00] >> 50 ft.

[56:01] >> 50 feet away. Okay.

[56:02] >> Yep.

[56:03] >> Okay. Great. Thank you, Trevor. Mhm.

[56:05] >> Uh I'd like to make a motion for the

[56:08] Hannes Will number eight replacement

[56:09] well drilling project uh award to laying

[56:13] Equipment LLC in the amount of 1,14,35.

[56:18] » I'll second that.

[56:19] >> Been motioned and seconded. All in

[56:21] favor?

[56:22] >> I Okay.

[56:23] >> Okay. Thank you. Um, next one here is uh

[56:27] we

[56:29] um need to we're required to update our

[56:31] drinking water source protection plan

[56:33] and um that is due by the end of 2026

[56:37] December. And so we've been working with

[56:40] Horox on several of our well projects.

[56:44] um they're familiar with with each of

[56:47] our well fields and so I asked them to

[56:49] put together a task order to update that

[56:52] drink your water source protection plan.

[56:54] Um, and that's what this is. And that

[56:56] will include, you know, when whenever

[56:58] you drill new well, you've got to update

[57:00] that. And so with us doing this Hannes

[57:03] number eight, we'll be able to fit that

[57:05] into this update. Also,

[57:07] >> also it's tied into the well.

[57:09] >> Mhm.

[57:10] >> Um, so the timing of that kind of works

[57:12] out well for us. Um, so if you have any

[57:17] questions on this, otherwise I I

[57:19] recommend approval.

[57:20] >> Okay.

[57:21] >> And we'll get going.

[57:22] >> Thank you, Trevor.

[57:24] Uh like to make a motion for the Horox

[57:27] task order for drink and water source

[57:28] protection plan update in the amount of

[57:31] $22,115.50.

[57:34] » I'll second that.

[57:35] >> It's been motioned and seconded. All in

[57:37] favor?

[57:37] >> I I thank you.

[57:40] >> All right. Um number four here is a task

[57:44] order from Hansen Allen Loose. It's for

[57:46] an update to our risk and resilience

[57:49] report and our emergency response plan.

[57:52] So, we did each of these five years ago

[57:55] as a requirement by the EPA. Um, and

[57:59] they're required to be updated every

[58:02] five years. And this year is our year

[58:04] for update. And so, Hansen Loose is the

[58:08] one that helped us create those reports

[58:10] and I've asked them to put together this

[58:12] to update those. And mainly that is, you

[58:16] know, if you have any changes, you know,

[58:18] staffing, if you've made improvements

[58:20] that were listed in the previous

[58:22] reports, um, just things of that nature.

[58:24] There hasn't been really any significant

[58:27] changes in what the report uh, needs as

[58:30] far as what the EPA is requiring. It's

[58:32] just making sure we're up to date and

[58:34] any changes that we might like as well.

[58:37] >> So, it's been five years since they did

[58:39] that.

[58:39] >> Did they also do a quantity? what kind

[58:42] of resources we have. Didn't Hansen

[58:44] Loose do that?

[58:46] >> Yeah. So, it

[58:46] >> How long ago was that?

[58:48] >> That was at the five-year. They they

[58:49] looked at Yeah. all of our equipment, um

[58:52] each of our sites, our backup power

[58:56] generation, you know, all those things

[58:58] within there. So,

[58:59] >> so we'll kind

[59:01] all the same

[59:02] >> correct these two reports. Yep.

[59:05] >> Okay.

[59:05] >> So, this is two two separate reports

[59:07] that those

[59:08] >> This isn't as indepth as the one we did

[59:10] 5 years ago.

[59:11] >> It is not. It's an update.

[59:12] >> It's just a requirement from Okay.

[59:15] >> Uh

[59:17] so I'd like to make a motion for Hansen

[59:19] Allen loose task order for risk and uh

[59:22] resilient report for emergency response

[59:25] plan update in the amount of $18,500.

[59:29] >> I'll second that.

[59:30] >> It's been motion and seconded. All in

[59:32] favor?

[59:33] >> I I thank you.

[59:40] » Okay. Anything else?

[59:42] >> All right. Thank you, board. Um, we've

[59:44] got a couple surplus items that we'd

[59:47] like to take to auction or or wherever

[59:49] it is they go. Uh, the first item that

[59:52] we've got is our old plow truck. It's

[59:54] the 2007 model. Um, it's been replaced

[59:58] by the F350. So, we've taken the fuel

[1:00:00] tank out and the plow off of that and we

[1:00:05] kept it around for about a year to make

[1:00:06] sure that we weren't going to need it.

[1:00:08] Um, I think we're in a place now where

[1:00:09] we can

[1:00:11] send it home.

[1:00:13] >> How many miles has it got on the truck?

[1:00:15] >> It's just under 150.

[1:00:17] >> 150,000.

[1:00:20] >> Good. Hard miles.

[1:00:22] >> Any estimate on value?

[1:00:24] >> Um, that's kind of been the Bob and Lee

[1:00:26] aisle thing.

[1:00:27] >> Yeah.

[1:00:30] That's like a new truck, you guys.

[1:00:33] >> You know what those are worth now?

[1:00:35] >> I don't know if you're going to get

[1:00:36] money out of Well, I I don't know.

[1:00:38] Mick's kind of concerned about it

[1:00:40] because it is paid for and everything.

[1:00:42] Um

[1:00:44] >> I mean, we can keep it if

[1:00:46] it's not. We just want to make sure

[1:00:48] everything's being used.

[1:00:50] >> Yeah.

[1:00:50] >> So, if it's sitting, it feels like But

[1:00:53] we can keep it as a backup.

[1:00:55] >> Yeah. We We parked down sewer plant or

[1:00:57] at the edr plant and

[1:00:59] >> Yeah. It's been at the sewer plant. Um

[1:01:01] >> it's still a good truck and we're not

[1:01:02] spending a lot of money on it, right?

[1:01:04] >> We're not spending any money on it. No.

[1:01:05] >> Yeah. I'd say we keep

[1:01:08] >> Yeah. I

[1:01:08] >> I I think uh

[1:01:11] >> if it's okay. I I think we need to hang

[1:01:13] on to it.

[1:01:14] >> Sure.

[1:01:14] >> Since it's paid for, you're not

[1:01:16] >> told you won't go in anything that's

[1:01:18] been to the sewer plant.

[1:01:19] >> I won't. Ed will.

[1:01:21] >> But Ed's work down at the sewer plant.

[1:01:23] >> Yeah, he'll he'll have.

[1:01:26] >> You could. We're not retired.

[1:01:29] >> We'll uh

[1:01:29] >> Well, you can park it down the ed plant.

[1:01:32] It wouldn't take up any space.

[1:01:34] >> We can do that.

[1:01:34] >> Yeah, that's fine. I don't know. Mick

[1:01:36] was just a little concerned when I seen

[1:01:38] the picture. I went, "That truck's in

[1:01:40] pretty good shape."

[1:01:41] >> Well, we're bringing new employees in

[1:01:43] and things. I mean, we could use that.

[1:01:45] >> Yeah, that's what I'm thinking for

[1:01:46] backup. But if it's not costing any

[1:01:49] money, it's don't got engine problems or

[1:01:51] anything. I mean, 100,000 right now, a

[1:01:55] 2007 has been bringing and there again,

[1:01:59] it's a diesel. This is a gas.

[1:02:01] >> Correct.

[1:02:03] They've been they've been bringing about

[1:02:04] 20 30,000. I mean, people are kind of

[1:02:07] going back on those. But if you go into

[1:02:09] the if you go to the auction, you're

[1:02:12] just not getting the money out of them.

[1:02:13] >> No.

[1:02:14] >> So, I mean,

[1:02:15] >> well, we'll we'll keep them and

[1:02:18] >> we'll try to try to make it.

[1:02:20] >> Well, I I think we'll hang on to it for

[1:02:22] a little bit.

[1:02:23] >> Yeah, for sure.

[1:02:25] >> As as long as it's being at the canyon,

[1:02:27] we're bouncing around. Whatever. It' be

[1:02:29] nice to have something around.

[1:02:30] >> Sure. I think we keep saying

[1:02:33] >> I hate to say that if it's not you you

[1:02:36] want to get rid of anything that's not

[1:02:37] being used but

[1:02:38] >> fire up

[1:02:39] >> I don't know

[1:02:42] >> there's always a time that you get

[1:02:43] something repaired and you need a backup

[1:02:46] >> or you have to take it in for recall and

[1:02:48] it's tied up for 3 days or something. I

[1:02:50] don't know.

[1:02:50] >> Yeah. As soon as you sell it, you need

[1:02:52] it.

[1:02:52] >> You're going to need it.

[1:02:53] >> And 150 ain't that's not that.

[1:02:55] >> Well, as long as it's not costing money

[1:02:57] and it's not burning oil and things like

[1:02:58] that, you know what I mean? I and and

[1:03:01] we've got the space. I'm just thinking

[1:03:03] we ought to hang on to it a little

[1:03:04] longer.

[1:03:05] >> We can do that.

[1:03:06] >> Okay.

[1:03:08] >> Plan on that. There are a couple other

[1:03:10] items. Will you do you know

[1:03:12] >> we're covering for Leo?

[1:03:13] >> So the the microphone stand if we I

[1:03:17] don't know about the copier, but I do

[1:03:18] know the the microphone stand. It's the

[1:03:21] old old wooden podium that's been stored

[1:03:23] in this closet.

[1:03:25] >> Yeah.

[1:03:25] >> We replaced it with this smaller one

[1:03:27] that

[1:03:28] >> Yeah.

[1:03:28] >> wasn't in our way.

[1:03:29] >> Oh yeah. I don't see a problem there.

[1:03:31] You didn't have any.

[1:03:33] >> And then the printer, Matt,

[1:03:34] >> I don't know what you can get.

[1:03:35] >> The printer is down the edr and I think

[1:03:37] it got to be where it's obsolete and

[1:03:40] >> we don't service it.

[1:03:41] It's been in the

[1:03:42] back office down there. We have a new

[1:03:44] one we've had for probably five or seven

[1:03:46] years down the copier.

[1:03:48] >> Yeah.

[1:03:50] Well, they're they're kind of hidden

[1:03:51] problems sometimes.

[1:03:53] >> Yeah.

[1:03:53] >> Kyle, that ink and stuff's more

[1:03:55] expensive. Yeah, that's

[1:03:57] >> um

[1:03:58] >> So, how do we advertise that? We just

[1:04:00] post it. We'll advertise it.

[1:04:03] >> Yeah, LIIO will put that together um and

[1:04:07] uh put a advertisement together with

[1:04:10] those items and then we'll just notice

[1:04:13] some of a a bid uh anybody that wants to

[1:04:17] bid on it.

[1:04:18] >> Okay.

[1:04:18] >> Um so, we're going to do everything or

[1:04:20] you're going to make a motion, I guess,

[1:04:21] here. Uh yeah, I'll make a motion u to

[1:04:24] hang on to the 2007 truck, but to go

[1:04:27] ahead and u p publicly go for bids on

[1:04:33] the uh ARBC 320 copier and the

[1:04:36] microphone stand. I think you're going

[1:04:38] to end up throwing the microphone stand

[1:04:39] away, but give it a try.

[1:04:42] >> Yeah, I'll second it.

[1:04:43] >> Okay, motion is seconded. All in favor?

[1:04:45] I

[1:04:45] >> I

[1:04:46] >> Okay, the aisle.

[1:04:49] >> Investment meeting. Yeah, I apologize

[1:04:51] everybody.

[1:04:52] >> You're fine.

[1:04:53] >> So, the investment committee meeting had

[1:04:55] a meeting. It was for the period

[1:04:58] December

[1:05:00] 31st 25 and they made some

[1:05:03] recommendations to

[1:05:06] add a

[1:05:08] fund to the

[1:05:12] watch list. And then the other one was

[1:05:15] doing well. passed all its tests and to

[1:05:18] move it back to or take it off the watch

[1:05:21] list.

[1:05:22] >> Okay.

[1:05:22] >> So, we just need approval of basically

[1:05:24] the minutes and the watch list.

[1:05:29] » So, basically the item the first item

[1:05:31] the Vanguard long-term bond index you're

[1:05:34] going to put on the watch list. That's

[1:05:36] the motion we're making.

[1:05:37] >> Yeah.

[1:05:38] >> Okay.

[1:05:44] I think if you made the motion just

[1:05:46] approval of investment meeting

[1:05:49] >> outlining the funds if you read I think

[1:05:51] that covers us if he reads that right

[1:05:53] >> correct

[1:05:54] >> okay I'll make a motion to uh approve

[1:05:58] the investment meeting minutes outlining

[1:06:01] the funds moved to uh to and from the

[1:06:04] watch list as recommended. I'll second

[1:06:07] that.

[1:06:08] >> Okay. Motion is seconded. All in favor?

[1:06:10] I

[1:06:10] >> I

[1:06:11] >> Okay,

[1:06:14] » we did item three.

[1:06:16] >> Operation building Trevor.

[1:06:18] >> Yep. So, in here, I just wanted to give

[1:06:21] an update on that. Um the first sheet

[1:06:23] that just thought it would be nice to

[1:06:26] kind of see some dates um that we're

[1:06:30] anticipating for this. Uh up at the top,

[1:06:34] we're anticipating around 12 to 13

[1:06:37] months to construct the project as a

[1:06:40] whole once once we get going. Um some

[1:06:43] target dates on there.

[1:06:45] Uh final design later this month in

[1:06:48] April. Um which at at that point we

[1:06:51] would post u an advertisement to bid and

[1:06:55] then we would have bids due towards um

[1:06:58] April or sorry May a month after. So May

[1:07:01] 21st is our target date there. That

[1:07:04] means that we would have something to

[1:07:06] the board in the June meeting for

[1:07:08] approval.

[1:07:09] >> Okay. Which we'll have

[1:07:10] >> bids on. Correct. Okay. Okay.

[1:07:13] >> Um and then just moving, you know, down

[1:07:15] the line from there, that would make

[1:07:18] substantial completion around July of 27

[1:07:22] with final completion about a month

[1:07:24] later in August. And I've kind of just

[1:07:27] highlighted those different dates within

[1:07:29] the calendar there. And then uh you

[1:07:32] know, we've got an updated cost um

[1:07:35] opinion from at 100%. Um and that puts

[1:07:41] the project

[1:07:43] uh total at 1.993 with a 10% contingency

[1:07:48] to $2,191.

[1:07:51] Um, and then just wanted to run through

[1:07:54] some of the plans just to to get that in

[1:07:58] front of everyone. Um, so to orient

[1:08:01] yourself, we've got our existing

[1:08:04] operations building over here to the

[1:08:06] east. The oxidation ditches are to the

[1:08:09] north off page. And so if you're down at

[1:08:12] the sewer treatment plant, um we've got,

[1:08:16] you know, a grassier area here and our

[1:08:20] fence and that's where the building

[1:08:22] would be. There would be a gate to the

[1:08:26] west side of that. Um our other gate

[1:08:29] number two, construction gate is is

[1:08:31] here. And so that would be the the main

[1:08:34] access for this operations building.

[1:08:36] We've got pavement and parking along

[1:08:39] here.

[1:08:40] Um, and then here are some

[1:08:44] a drawing of the interior of that

[1:08:47] building.

[1:08:48] Um, there's a large con skada control

[1:08:52] room where the operators will have their

[1:08:54] stations and we'll have our SCADA

[1:08:55] controls.

[1:08:57] Um, there's a network room

[1:09:00] which will have our SCADA and our

[1:09:02] internet racks in there. There's a break room kitchen area. Um, we've got

[1:09:10] cabinetry along the wall,

[1:09:14] mechanical room here,

[1:09:17] and we've got, one of the main things

[1:09:19] here was making sure we had a way for

[1:09:22] our operators to clean themselves and,

[1:09:25] you know, not go home with any

[1:09:27] contamination on them. So, we've got our

[1:09:30] locker room facility here. This is the

[1:09:33] main locker room. Few restrooms. Um and

[1:09:36] then four showers, change changing areas

[1:09:39] and lockers. And then we have a unisex

[1:09:42] one down here in the event we had uh you

[1:09:46] know a female operator or the need for

[1:09:49] that. And then a utility room where we

[1:09:52] have the space

[1:09:54] um for uniform storage. Also a washer

[1:09:57] and a dryer so that we can take care of

[1:09:59] those uniforms. Um here

[1:10:03] >> is this a single level build?

[1:10:04] >> It is. It is. Um we have a a kind of a

[1:10:08] mudroom entrance here on the west side.

[1:10:11] The main entrance is to the north where

[1:10:13] a lot of the parking um and then we have

[1:10:15] a mud room for the operators to access

[1:10:18] and and put their boots and things um as

[1:10:21] they need. If we go to the next drawing,

[1:10:24] we've got building elevation.

[1:10:26] >> So question. So really all the entrance

[1:10:30] needs to come in through here through

[1:10:32] the mud room.

[1:10:33] >> The the normal day operations will will

[1:10:36] come through that mud room area and the

[1:10:39] showers

[1:10:40] >> they come in on that back side.

[1:10:42] >> We we have we have uh you know

[1:10:48] lost the word rugs things to you know

[1:10:50] collect any dirt for them to wipe. But

[1:10:52] in the mud room, we're going to have a

[1:10:54] boot wash

[1:10:55] >> and and places for them to set those

[1:10:57] boots so that they're not coming in with

[1:10:59] that material

[1:11:00] >> contamination. Yeah,

[1:11:01] >> correct.

[1:11:02] >> Okay, good.

[1:11:02] >> Yep,

[1:11:03] >> that looks good.

[1:11:05] >> Um, building elevations, we've we've

[1:11:07] kind of blended uh the different types

[1:11:10] of material and colors that we have out

[1:11:12] there. Some of our buildings along the

[1:11:15] east side, like the headworks and the

[1:11:17] reuse building, have a gray block. Some

[1:11:19] of the buildings to the to the north and

[1:11:23] the existing operations building have

[1:11:25] more of a brown colored block. And so

[1:11:27] we've we've designed this to kind of

[1:11:29] incorporate the two different color

[1:11:31] schemes that are out there. Um we have l

[1:11:34] or stair access to the roof uh for

[1:11:37] maintenance.

[1:11:39] Um

[1:11:40] >> will we have a lock gate on that or

[1:11:42] something or I guess the whole place is

[1:11:45] secure anyway? Yeah. But at the bottom

[1:11:47] of the stairs, there's still a swing

[1:11:49] gate that locks.

[1:11:50] >> Okay.

[1:11:53] » Yep. And then just another elevation

[1:11:55] view showing that. And this, just a

[1:11:58] note, like the top the top section here,

[1:12:00] if you were to drive by, that's that's

[1:12:02] the the view that you would see.

[1:12:12] » And that is it.

[1:12:13] >> Do we have any more questions? What's

[1:12:15] that? Did we have any special

[1:12:17] requirements because we're so close to

[1:12:19] the

[1:12:20] >> So the set the setback is the main thing

[1:12:22] and this building could be basically

[1:12:25] right up against the existing fence we

[1:12:27] have because it's set back already from

[1:12:29] our property line in the road right

[1:12:30] away.

[1:12:31] >> Okay.

[1:12:31] >> Um and part of this is you know the RV station will be

[1:12:39] >> removed.

[1:12:40] >> Yeah.

[1:12:42] >> So

[1:12:43] >> it's got to be there's so many places

[1:12:45] now that are faster and doesn't require

[1:12:48] maintenance a lot.

[1:12:49] >> Yep.

[1:12:50] >> Okay. Uh Trevor, thank you. That was a

[1:12:52] great job.

[1:12:54] >> Um

[1:12:56] so I guess we'll we're going to make a a

[1:12:59] motion to move ahead on the operations

[1:13:01] building.

[1:13:01] >> Yeah, I don't know that it needs a

[1:13:03] motion. It was more of just a discussion

[1:13:06] and

[1:13:07] >> we're moving forward. And if you had any

[1:13:09] thoughts or anything you want to be

[1:13:11] there motion to move forward.

[1:13:12] >> Okay.

[1:13:13] Um the next one here is the office

[1:13:16] landscape modifications and this is

[1:13:18] again just you know for information

[1:13:20] discussion. Um so what I have in here is

[1:13:25] uh our main kind of uh demolition plan

[1:13:29] and it also shows some of our new

[1:13:31] planting areas. And so the red is is

[1:13:35] everything that's kind of new with the

[1:13:37] black being things that are existing

[1:13:39] that we're uh maintaining out there.

[1:13:42] Um, and so

[1:13:44] >> you're taking out of rock baskets.

[1:13:47] >> Uh, no. So those

[1:13:50] what the red that's shown is like on the

[1:13:52] other side of these baskets.

[1:13:54] >> Oh, the other.

[1:13:55] >> Um, yeah. And let's see. Number two.

[1:13:58] >> So the baskets are where the circles

[1:14:00] are.

[1:14:03] >> Yeah. So if you look Yeah, the baskets

[1:14:06] are kind of this area.

[1:14:08] >> Okay. Um, and then this is this is the

[1:14:10] area in front of those.

[1:14:12] >> Is that just

[1:14:13] >> We're not taking it out. We're just

[1:14:15] replacing some of the material that's

[1:14:17] there.

[1:14:18] >> Concrete walkway right there.

[1:14:20] >> No, there's some mulch areas right there

[1:14:22] and lighting.

[1:14:25] Um, but some of I think some of the

[1:14:27] things that you'll notice is over here

[1:14:30] on the parking lot. This area is has

[1:14:33] really just kind of turned into a

[1:14:36] wasteland.

[1:14:38] Uh there's not I think there's a dead

[1:14:40] tree there currently and so that'll be

[1:14:42] updated. Um and then a little bit along

[1:14:46] here we have this retention pond. We'll

[1:14:49] kind of go down inside of there and

[1:14:51] we'll get some plantings in there. And

[1:14:53] then our native area up in this we'll

[1:14:56] have a little uh kind of skirt along

[1:14:58] that sidewalk that we'll tie that in.

[1:15:02] Um, and then a lot of it is replacing

[1:15:04] planting, putting in some other plants

[1:15:06] that are more Utah native, um, more

[1:15:09] lowwater alternatives for the public.

[1:15:13] Um, our grasses have kind of, uh,

[1:15:16] because

[1:15:18] just proximity and and wind, they've

[1:15:21] kind of cross-contaminated each other,

[1:15:23] and so you can't tell that they're

[1:15:26] separate grasses. They've just kind of

[1:15:29] all grown together. So, we'll we'll

[1:15:31] resod those for some grass alternatives.

[1:15:35] Um, and then

[1:15:37] we we're pushing for for signage and

[1:15:41] education and making, you know, this

[1:15:44] comfortable for the public to come and

[1:15:46] visit and spend some time and and

[1:15:48] contemplate how they might want to local

[1:15:50] skate their yard. And so some of the

[1:15:53] next drawings in here um show some of

[1:15:57] the features and signage that we have

[1:16:00] planned. So as you drive in at the front

[1:16:03] gate or just past the front gate when

[1:16:05] you're going to get to our parking lot,

[1:16:07] we do have a sign um but it doesn't

[1:16:09] really highlight the demonstration

[1:16:11] garden. It tells customers where to go,

[1:16:14] how to, you know, through the drive-thru

[1:16:16] and things, but we wanted to add in, you

[1:16:18] know, a little direction to get them to

[1:16:20] the demonstration garden, have that

[1:16:21] stand out. Then as they park, have a

[1:16:25] sign that kind of welcomes them if they

[1:16:27] want to walk back here. Um, you know,

[1:16:31] hey, come check it out. We've got some

[1:16:33] information. We've got some plans. And

[1:16:35] then once they get to the back, um,

[1:16:38] there's kind of this main area. It's a

[1:16:41] concrete circle. We wanted to have that

[1:16:44] be a spot for them to, you know, get

[1:16:47] more information about what's here um

[1:16:51] and some of the plantings that we have

[1:16:53] and and the the purpose for this. And

[1:16:56] that would include, you know, a shade

[1:16:59] structure pergola. Um, and then we do

[1:17:03] have some benches that are out there

[1:17:05] that are unshaded and we wanted to put

[1:17:09] some shade structures over those

[1:17:10] benches.

[1:17:11] >> I thought we we talked about putting

[1:17:13] some plaques out in front of some of the

[1:17:16] identifying, but it was kind of

[1:17:17] expensive.

[1:17:18] >> Well, that's we we've got some pricing

[1:17:21] now and signage and even these

[1:17:24] structures came in a lot a lot better

[1:17:26] pricing than we had initially

[1:17:28] anticipated. They made a couple, he'll

[1:17:30] show you. They had some suggestions to

[1:17:33] cut down cost from what had been

[1:17:36] originally estimated and it's getting

[1:17:37] pretty close to what the budget was.

[1:17:40] >> Okay.

[1:17:40] >> That the board approves

[1:17:41] >> because I think it's real important to

[1:17:43] have a plaque showing, hey, this is this

[1:17:45] plant so people.

[1:17:47] >> So, we have those out there. They're

[1:17:49] we're trying to kind of update those and

[1:17:52] give a little more information that,

[1:17:53] hey, this is a local plant. It uses less

[1:17:57] water. This is, you know, one that does

[1:18:00] you, it's local, but it uses a lot of

[1:18:02] water to kind of give them that variety.

[1:18:04] So, I've got some pictures of of those.

[1:18:06] This is a concept of that.

[1:18:11] » Some ice out there now. The trees are

[1:18:13] big.

[1:18:13] >> Yeah, I think shade over the benches

[1:18:15] would be really

[1:18:16] >> And then, yeah, our bench bench shade

[1:18:18] structure. Um, and a local fabricator is

[1:18:22] who they've reached out to to get some

[1:18:24] pricing and some concepts on these and

[1:18:26] they're capable of doing that. Um,

[1:18:31] and then here's just some, you know,

[1:18:34] more pictures of that. And I think this

[1:18:37] is what you're speaking to, Jeff. What

[1:18:39] is the plant? We'll have some

[1:18:40] information about the wa, you know, type

[1:18:42] of water that you would

[1:18:46] anticipate for that type of plant. So,

[1:18:48] they can quickly see that. This isn't

[1:18:50] final. Um, there's the idea of a QR code

[1:18:53] because Jordan Valley has a lot of they

[1:18:55] have an extensive catalog of plants and

[1:18:58] a lot of information on those. And so,

[1:19:00] if there's a way for us to utilize what

[1:19:03] they already have, we'll do that to

[1:19:05] educate the customer. And we also want

[1:19:08] to put on on the individual plant um

[1:19:11] signs whether it's Utah native or or

[1:19:14] not.

[1:19:16] Um so just kind of wanted to get those

[1:19:19] in front of the board and let you see

[1:19:21] the progress we've made to date and and

[1:19:23] our plan there.

[1:19:25] We're at a period in time where uh it's

[1:19:28] best to wait until early fall to start

[1:19:31] this type of work. And so we're

[1:19:34] >> so hot.

[1:19:35] >> Yeah. Yeah, you and yeah, better for the

[1:19:39] plants, better for the people working.

[1:19:40] Um, and so we're not in a huge rush.

[1:19:43] We're we're wrapping up the plans and

[1:19:45] then we'll kind of wait and we'll bid

[1:19:47] that in time for the best

[1:19:49] >> cost. The cost looks a lot better than

[1:19:51] it did before. Yeah, I I I think we are

[1:19:56] still we talked about having, you know,

[1:19:59] some of the like bench and shade

[1:20:01] structures being as a separate item in

[1:20:04] case we were above our budget. That

[1:20:06] would be a way for us to cut back. And

[1:20:08] our main things would be the planting

[1:20:10] and the signage, the educational

[1:20:12] components of that. So, we'll bid it.

[1:20:14] will bid it as all together with those

[1:20:17] being able to be eliminated if needed to

[1:20:20] stay within our budget.

[1:20:22] >> Okay, thank you.

[1:20:23] >> That sounds really great.

[1:20:25] >> So,

[1:20:27] um

[1:20:28] >> so that was again just for discussion

[1:20:30] and

[1:20:31] >> do we need to make a motion on that to

[1:20:32] move?

[1:20:33] >> Okay, we don't.

[1:20:35] >> No.

[1:20:35] >> Okay.

[1:20:39] So Clint, you're going to talk about

[1:20:41] approval for the conservation level.

[1:20:44] >> Yeah. So, uh there's, as the board

[1:20:49] likely knows, there's we've had a very

[1:20:53] dry season this past winter. Um it was a

[1:20:59] record low snow pack uh for since

[1:21:02] they've been keeping records and it

[1:21:05] peaked three weeks early. that 3 weeks

[1:21:08] earlier than usual. So, the situation

[1:21:11] for the snowpack is not looking good at

[1:21:13] all. Um, it was also the driest winter

[1:21:18] on record uh by across statewide by

[1:21:22] about 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit and even

[1:21:26] locally in Salt Lake it was even higher.

[1:21:30] So, we've had low snowpack, warm

[1:21:34] temperatures. The one positive is uh the

[1:21:38] soil moisture conditions are pretty good

[1:21:42] actually. Um

[1:21:45] considering all those things um we have

[1:21:50] we attended the Jordan Valley board

[1:21:52] meeting yesterday virtually. I attended

[1:21:56] that. They made the decision to move to

[1:21:58] a level two drought response. Uh their

[1:22:02] baseline is level zero.

[1:22:05] uh for reference. So they skipped a

[1:22:07] level and went to level two um

[1:22:12] out of

[1:22:14] I think they could have justified level

[1:22:16] one or level two. Uh but the board the

[1:22:19] sentiment from the board that I took

[1:22:21] away and all these board members sit on

[1:22:24] all of the cities and the other agencies

[1:22:27] so they're the ones that this actually

[1:22:30] affects. The sentiment from most of the

[1:22:33] board members was

[1:22:35] Even if we could get away with a level

[1:22:37] one, we want the message out there to be

[1:22:40] it's serious. We need to go to a more

[1:22:46] serious drought level.

[1:22:48] >> Conservative.

[1:22:49] >> Now, what about for us also drinking

[1:22:52] water is a valuable resource, but

[1:22:54] >> right,

[1:22:55] >> what about customers that are secondary

[1:22:57] water where we've got all the reuse

[1:22:59] water we want?

[1:23:00] >> Yes.

[1:23:00] >> What do we do in that case? We've got

[1:23:02] two separate situations there.

[1:23:04] >> We do. And that's something for the

[1:23:05] board to consider. I think you could

[1:23:08] make an argument that for us locally

[1:23:12] here in Magna Water, our situation, we

[1:23:15] could probably stay in the level one.

[1:23:20] >> Our level one is standard is voluntary

[1:23:22] conservation. That's what we call it.

[1:23:24] >> Okay. If we were to move, which is

[1:23:26] something we would consider that would

[1:23:29] be in more in line with what the rest of

[1:23:31] the valley is doing, I think would be to

[1:23:34] move to a level two. Uh that would be

[1:23:37] mandatory conservation

[1:23:40] where we would put in place more formal

[1:23:43] uh hey you you water on these three days

[1:23:46] a week, you water on these three days a

[1:23:49] week. No watering between 10 and six.

[1:23:53] um we would put some teeth behind that

[1:23:57] with some monitoring and enforcement.

[1:24:01] So, you know, it's a big effort. It

[1:24:04] creates quite a bit of work for us.

[1:24:09] Um but uh you know it's it's one of

[1:24:13] those things where

[1:24:16] I think do we want to

[1:24:20] really send the message? It sends the

[1:24:23] message for for people to conserve water

[1:24:26] when they know it's no longer voluntary.

[1:24:29] It's it's that mandatory message

[1:24:31] >> except I I think I think we should wait

[1:24:35] >> and we can wait. That's the other

[1:24:36] option.

[1:24:36] >> July or something. Let's see how the

[1:24:38] spring is because we're in a different

[1:24:41] situation than everybody else on Ver

[1:24:43] Valley.

[1:24:44] >> And I think in our situation, especially

[1:24:46] our secondary water users,

[1:24:49] >> there's no reason for them to cut down

[1:24:50] on the ball fields and stuff like we

[1:24:52] want to sell as much reuse as we can,

[1:24:56] right? Isn't that what we want to

[1:24:58] >> Yeah.

[1:24:58] I think

[1:24:59] >> there's no reason to cut back on

[1:25:00] secondary water. We got reuse water. We

[1:25:02] need to

[1:25:03] >> Yeah. I think it

[1:25:04] >> Yes. I think that's truth to that. I

[1:25:07] don't want to make a lot of work for us

[1:25:09] trying to go to a higher level,

[1:25:11] >> right?

[1:25:11] >> There's nothing wrong with explaining to

[1:25:13] people and they get the message from

[1:25:15] other people, but

[1:25:16] >> I think I think uh there's nothing wrong

[1:25:19] with conservative, but I in my opinion

[1:25:22] it it's up to date, but I think we ought

[1:25:25] to wait and see how the spring ends up.

[1:25:28] >> I think that's definitely reasonable.

[1:25:30] >> I I like that idea there. What I'd

[1:25:32] recommend if the board would be okay

[1:25:34] with it is maybe we take some more

[1:25:37] stronger messaging but we don't change

[1:25:40] the level.

[1:25:41] >> Okay.

[1:25:41] >> If we just start telling people, hey,

[1:25:44] it's drought. You need to be watching.

[1:25:46] >> They're seeing it on TV.

[1:25:49] >> It does help us if we want to get to

[1:25:53] this position. It doesn't mean we can't

[1:25:55] do it later. And

[1:25:56] >> and then it and then it gives people

[1:25:58] that warning.

[1:25:59] >> Yeah.

[1:25:59] >> That it's coming. If we do it too soon

[1:26:01] out of nowhere, they might feel like

[1:26:03] they're hit.

[1:26:04] >> Oh, yeah.

[1:26:04] >> Hit out of the blue.

[1:26:06] >> So, I would support that if the board

[1:26:08] >> and where we got secondary water and

[1:26:12] >> I I'd like to hold off.

[1:26:13] >> Okay. So, we'll put we'll put a flyer

[1:26:16] together that just is more of a push for

[1:26:18] volunteers.

[1:26:18] >> I think we ought to notify our secondary

[1:26:20] water users for sure.

[1:26:22] >> Yeah. that we've got plenty of water on

[1:26:24] the reuse water on the secondary water

[1:26:26] users only

[1:26:29] >> and the the rest will just keep on that

[1:26:31] level until we feel like uh if if we're

[1:26:35] not getting the rain and stuff by June

[1:26:37] July.

[1:26:38] >> Yeah.

[1:26:39] >> Then if you want to clamp down then

[1:26:40] we'll do that. But

[1:26:42] >> there could be a lot of changes taking

[1:26:44] place. We could get a lot of weather

[1:26:45] >> like the people that don't have

[1:26:47] secondary water to be conservative. Just

[1:26:50] >> Yeah.

[1:26:51] >> Explain to them to be because I don't

[1:26:52] have secondary water.

[1:26:54] >> I'm very conservative.

[1:26:56] >> You you you've got to really admit the

[1:26:58] snow and the water we got last week was

[1:27:01] very unexpected. We got a lot more than

[1:27:03] we expected. Sure. I the thing I will

[1:27:06] say that that our board it again we're

[1:27:11] somewhat insulated

[1:27:12] because we we take Jordan Valley water

[1:27:15] consistently at the same rate

[1:27:17] >> right

[1:27:17] >> and we don't use more than our contract

[1:27:21] >> for the communities that rely so much on

[1:27:24] Jordan Valley Water

[1:27:26] >> this change that Jordan Valley Water

[1:27:29] made could be very financially costly to

[1:27:33] them if they don't conserve.

[1:27:35] >> Oh, absolutely.

[1:27:36] >> So, we don't have that same worry here.

[1:27:40] So, I think it gives us more

[1:27:41] flexibility, but I think that's why many

[1:27:44] of them voted to go to the level two

[1:27:47] because they're in communities that will

[1:27:51] be impacted by that. So, if they don't

[1:27:56] have those

[1:27:58] motivations to conserve water, it could

[1:28:01] hurt them. And if they don't conserve

[1:28:04] water, they're more reliant on even more

[1:28:07] strict things the next year. Yeah. So,

[1:28:10] they're in a different circumstance, but

[1:28:12] I just want to make the board aware.

[1:28:14] >> What about the high school?

[1:28:16] >> Have they got artificial turf and

[1:28:17] they've got to water that with drinking

[1:28:19] water? Is that right?

[1:28:20] >> The new high school does they have

[1:28:23] secondary? I don't know exactly what

[1:28:26] their split is of what they water with

[1:28:29] drinking and secondary

[1:28:31] >> because I thought they said they could

[1:28:32] only use drinking water on the

[1:28:34] artificial turf.

[1:28:35] >> That is true.

[1:28:36] >> Is it?

[1:28:37] >> As far as the last we've been

[1:28:38] communicated it was.

[1:28:40] >> And I'm just wondering if with our

[1:28:42] newary water, are we in a situation that

[1:28:45] they could use? Maybe not. Maybe not.

[1:28:48] Maybe they have to use drinking because

[1:28:50] they're keeping it cool. I just wonder

[1:28:52] we ought to look at that. how we

[1:28:54] approach them about that because

[1:28:56] >> that's probably your biggest single use

[1:28:59] of drinking water is on that artificial

[1:29:01] turf. Now, what about the old school

[1:29:03] where the old turf is down? Are they

[1:29:05] still watering that to preserve it?

[1:29:08] >> I don't.

[1:29:08] >> I heard they were going to auction it

[1:29:09] off.

[1:29:10] >> I don't know on the turf.

[1:29:12] >> I doubt that they're doing anything.

[1:29:14] >> We ought to probably talk to them about

[1:29:15] that. find out what is that situation

[1:29:18] because those two places are our largest

[1:29:22] use of drinking water for a single

[1:29:24] source. And so if it starts to get hot

[1:29:27] and everything, you're going to see

[1:29:29] quite a big usage there.

[1:29:31] >> Yeah, we can do that.

[1:29:32] >> But aren't they on the secondary water,

[1:29:35] >> the old school?

[1:29:36] >> Yeah, they are.

[1:29:37] >> Not the ball fills, not the

[1:29:39] >> the problem is is that the artificial

[1:29:40] turf

[1:29:41] >> artificial turf will not allow.

[1:29:43] >> When it was canal water, they couldn't

[1:29:44] use it. Yeah, because it will grow

[1:29:46] bacteria.

[1:29:47] >> Yeah. And I don't think they have

[1:29:49] switched it on.

[1:29:50] >> And we ought to talk to them about that.

[1:29:52] I I think we ought to uh at least

[1:29:55] approach them and find out their

[1:29:56] situation and show them what we have to

[1:29:58] offer for water now on secondary water

[1:30:01] and maybe there's a possibility they

[1:30:03] could use it now because we're not using

[1:30:06] canal water.

[1:30:07] >> Okay.

[1:30:08] >> But u I I think that would be our

[1:30:10] biggest conservative

[1:30:12] u because now we're working now to get

[1:30:15] the golf course off. That's that's a big

[1:30:16] user. So, the school I think the two

[1:30:19] schools uh the two artificial churchs

[1:30:22] are probably the biggest use of drinking

[1:30:24] water. We ought to talk to them about

[1:30:26] that.

[1:30:27] >> Okay. Use the reuse water

[1:30:30] >> possibly. I don't know. But

[1:30:34] >> I have no idea what the requirements are

[1:30:36] on that. We won't know. I

[1:30:38] >> I mean, it's it's got to be chlorinated.

[1:30:41] it it's acceptable for golf courses and

[1:30:44] >> right

[1:30:45] >> you know municipal uses it's in their

[1:30:47] yards so if they so it should be

[1:30:50] acceptable

[1:30:50] >> well I I think we should talk to me that

[1:30:53] effort is going to be more conservative

[1:30:56] and keeping on the public

[1:30:58] >> so that's what I think but

[1:31:00] >> yeah that's that's fine so I think as if

[1:31:04] you're not making any change I don't

[1:31:05] think we need a motion right

[1:31:07] >> okay that's fine yeah as long as we're

[1:31:10] about changing the level. Um, but I

[1:31:14] think we ought to still contact the

[1:31:17] >> the school in both regards and find out

[1:31:19] what we're doing

[1:31:21] >> and what we can do, what we can do to

[1:31:23] conserve our drinking water.

[1:31:27] » Okay. Trevor Gateway.

[1:31:29] >> Yeah. Okay. So, we have a master develop

[1:31:34] or is that what it's called? Yeah.

[1:31:36] master development agreement that was in

[1:31:40] place when the development was initially

[1:31:43] created

[1:31:44] and we've had different addendums to

[1:31:47] that along the way and this is the third

[1:31:50] addendum to that and this is

[1:31:52] specifically to the 4100 South and this

[1:31:55] just I mean Claire can probably speak to some of what's in here but just

[1:32:01] a quick overview is is an addendum to

[1:32:04] that master service agreement ment that

[1:32:07] speaks to the uh offsite um water and

[1:32:12] secondary water infrastructure in 4100.

[1:32:15] Um it just lays out, you know, the

[1:32:17] installation of that and some I think it

[1:32:20] has some timelines in there. Is this

[1:32:23] basically agreement saying we're going

[1:32:25] to put it in, but you're going to owe us

[1:32:26] for it?

[1:32:27] >> They're that they are going to build

[1:32:29] that infrastructure, which is what

[1:32:31] we're,

[1:32:32] >> you know, we had a pre pre construction

[1:32:35] meeting about it already. This is just

[1:32:38] an agreement to solidify that with Dr.

[1:32:41] Horton that they will be the ones doing

[1:32:44] that.

[1:32:44] >> And legal counsel was involved in this.

[1:32:47] >> Correct. They drafted the the whole

[1:32:49] thing. And so right now from what my

[1:32:51] understanding is that it it has been

[1:32:54] submitted to Dr. Horton. Um they are

[1:32:58] reviewing it and if they have comments

[1:33:01] but what we're looking for is is

[1:33:03] approval from the board to you know

[1:33:06] inform u continue to work with the legal

[1:33:09] counsel and with Dr. important to

[1:33:12] finalize this and and sign it right

[1:33:16] >> with as long as there's no substant

[1:33:18] substantive.

[1:33:19] >> Okay. So, uh so I can make a motion to

[1:33:24] accept the third addendum to move

[1:33:26] forward with Dr. Horton for the Little

[1:33:28] Valley Master Development Agreement 4100

[1:33:31] South Culinary and Secondary Water.

[1:33:34] >> I'll second that. Okay. Motion is

[1:33:36] seconded. All in favor? I.

[1:33:38] >> Thank you.

[1:33:41] Okay, we all no fault.

[1:33:43] >> So, um we've put this together. Um

[1:33:48] and in this policy, it it proposes a few

[1:33:50] things. It says that um

[1:33:55] on the first page, it says damage from

[1:33:57] district owned water or sanitary sewer

[1:33:59] lines. It says the district shall pay

[1:34:02] from its operating budget reasonable or

[1:34:04] actual expenses for damages and cost to

[1:34:07] clean them. Anyway, then it says if we

[1:34:09] do pay, it would be dependent on the

[1:34:13] restrictions in this policy and if

[1:34:15] there's funds in the district's budget,

[1:34:18] basically.

[1:34:20] And then the person or the homeowner,

[1:34:23] the claimant would sign a full release

[1:34:25] of any liability or anything after that

[1:34:28] payment.

[1:34:30] >> So, who put this together, Leo?

[1:34:32] >> Um, I we put it together. Um, it hasn't

[1:34:36] been reviewed by legal yet, so that

[1:34:38] still needs to happen. But there are a

[1:34:40] few items in the policy that's that the

[1:34:44] board can discuss. We did put some

[1:34:46] criteria

[1:34:48] >> in red.

[1:34:49] >> Um, the red is this is subject to

[1:34:52] whatever the board would like to do. Um,

[1:34:55] >> it looks good.

[1:34:58] >> Right now it says

[1:35:01] 10,000 I believe. Sorry, I'm getting

[1:35:03] there.

[1:35:06] Maximum payment would be 10,000 per

[1:35:08] incident at any one location

[1:35:11] and then the maximum would be 100,000 in

[1:35:14] any fiscal year.

[1:35:17] But some of the criteria is um

[1:35:21] >> so the challenge with that amount is

[1:35:26] most of the

[1:35:28] >> cleanup

[1:35:28] >> most of the costs we're in the 35 to 40

[1:35:34] 000 range it seems like on average. Is

[1:35:37] that fair?

[1:35:38] >> Most recently

[1:35:39] >> I think I think on average just the

[1:35:42] cleanup is like 15 to maybe 30. That's

[1:35:45] just to clean up.

[1:35:47] >> Okay. So that's separate from

[1:35:50] >> so to keep this 10,000. Do we have

[1:35:52] control to clean up then instead of

[1:35:54] letting them just call anybody?

[1:35:56] >> Possibly.

[1:35:57] >> Okay. I mean, we could meet with

[1:36:00] providers and see if they can put us

[1:36:02] under some type of contract pricing

[1:36:05] maybe.

[1:36:06] >> I think it's a start because like the

[1:36:09] last one that just came in last month,

[1:36:11] that was atrocious.

[1:36:12] >> Yeah, it was ridiculous.

[1:36:16] >> He just went ahead and did what he

[1:36:18] wanted to do and you guys did an

[1:36:20] excellent job documenting all that

[1:36:23] stuff. So, I

[1:36:25] >> think you did a good job on that. Y

[1:36:27] >> you guys crossed your tees and dove your

[1:36:30] eyes. So that's good. I appreciate that.

[1:36:32] So um

[1:36:35] I say we get that to our legal counsel,

[1:36:38] have them review it, and then you're

[1:36:39] going to talk to the insurance company

[1:36:40] about it also.

[1:36:41] >> Yeah. I mean, if if we

[1:36:43] >> the I guess the thing to consider is I

[1:36:47] don't know that going from five 5,000

[1:36:50] has been the historic

[1:36:52] >> uh if we had it through the insurance,

[1:36:55] right?

[1:36:56] it. Does going from 5,000 to 10,000

[1:36:59] really solve what the board's concern

[1:37:02] is? That I don't know that it does is

[1:37:05] what I'm getting at. That's the one

[1:37:07] item. Do we go to a an amount

[1:37:11] uh closer to what we think it's going to

[1:37:14] be to cover it fully? That's that's the

[1:37:18] question.

[1:37:19] >> But you're telling me on average spend

[1:37:21] 35,000, right? 35 to 50,000.

[1:37:25] >> Yeah.

[1:37:26] Um,

[1:37:27] >> there's also a Yeah, sorry. There's also

[1:37:29] a sentence like the next paragraph down.

[1:37:32] It does disclose that says the district

[1:37:34] may reimburse to the property the actual

[1:37:37] cost of this cleanup and sanitation. So,

[1:37:40] it does there's a clause in there that

[1:37:42] enables the district to pay 100% of the

[1:37:46] cleanup if they so choose based on each.

[1:37:49] >> So, that's I just want to make that

[1:37:50] situation.

[1:37:51] >> I wanted to make that clear. Then

[1:37:54] >> that's That's two scenarios,

[1:37:57] >> right?

[1:37:57] >> Yeah.

[1:37:58] >> The 100% or the 10,000 and the 100%.

[1:38:04] » So, it basically there's kind of two

[1:38:06] sections. One's addresses the cleanup

[1:38:09] and the other addresses the

[1:38:11] >> maximum

[1:38:12] >> the um restoration and

[1:38:16] just restoration, right?

[1:38:17] >> Restoration.

[1:38:18] >> That's always

[1:38:19] >> restoration. That's always where we've

[1:38:21] been in the biggest argument because the

[1:38:23] homeowner thinks his restoration is more

[1:38:25] than it's actually worth.

[1:38:26] >> Sure.

[1:38:26] >> And it does say in here it's got to be

[1:38:29] less depreciation. It's can't be,

[1:38:33] >> you know, it can't be the to buy it new

[1:38:35] price. Um,

[1:38:39] and it the restoration could be limited

[1:38:42] to the 10 minimum and maximum 100,000. I

[1:38:46] think personally I think legal counsel

[1:38:49] needs to go through this. That's I agree

[1:38:51] >> because they're going to base it on what

[1:38:53] we've done in the past and then make a

[1:38:55] recommendation back if I mean if it's

[1:38:58] >> I mean I think it's good. I I I would

[1:39:01] rather limit it to 10,000. I don't know

[1:39:03] how you can limit to 100,000 a year

[1:39:05] because is that per incident? I mean

[1:39:09] >> that would be total paid out of

[1:39:11] >> because we have no idea what the maximum

[1:39:13] would be a year.

[1:39:14] >> Right. So, I mean, I'd love to say

[1:39:17] that'd be great if it was only that

[1:39:18] much, but

[1:39:19] >> don't know how many

[1:39:20] >> I think that would be a helpful target.

[1:39:23] Maybe we would have that as a helpful

[1:39:25] target to how much we fund.

[1:39:27] >> Yeah.

[1:39:28] >> How much our target fund in that fund

[1:39:30] would be. So, maybe that's a little

[1:39:32] higher

[1:39:33] >> uh than we anticipate. So, that's

[1:39:36] another thing to be thinking about as we

[1:39:38] send it to the

[1:39:39] >> I see some of the wording in here looks

[1:39:41] really good because I'm been very

[1:39:44] impressed how our people are right on

[1:39:46] top of this thing. And the last one that

[1:39:48] came in here was the the customer's

[1:39:50] fault. No matter what anybody says, the proof was in their report. And to

[1:39:58] me, um, other than the

[1:40:03] unknown manhole on 8,400,

[1:40:06] we really have done a really I think you

[1:40:09] guys have done a really good job keeping

[1:40:10] up on these. And we've checking the

[1:40:12] sewers and make sure they're not build

[1:40:13] up. And so I think you've done a really

[1:40:16] good job. This is just another uh

[1:40:18] another way for us to protect ourselves.

[1:40:21] I I think that's a good job.

[1:40:23] >> I did a real good job. But I I couldn't

[1:40:26] believe he didn't get his insurance

[1:40:27] involved in it.

[1:40:28] >> No, no, he he didn't do anything. And

[1:40:30] like I said, it just proved to me you

[1:40:33] guys have done a really good job. You're

[1:40:34] on top of it. And I

[1:40:35] >> He did. They documented it good.

[1:40:39] >> I think it's a I think a new I think

[1:40:41] it's a good no fall policy. I really do.

[1:40:44] >> We did follow up with um is Garcia, is

[1:40:47] that their last name?

[1:40:48] >> Martinez.

[1:40:50] Um after last board meeting, I

[1:40:54] called

[1:40:55] their insurance, the American family.

[1:40:58] >> Yeah.

[1:40:58] >> And I said, "Would you please contact

[1:41:02] our insurance so that you guys can get

[1:41:04] on the same page of like the the whole

[1:41:07] story?"

[1:41:08] >> Yeah.

[1:41:08] >> And that did happen. They did contact

[1:41:11] our insurance

[1:41:13] and our insurance said that they gave

[1:41:15] them their notes on the

[1:41:16] >> the whole issue. But I didn't feel like

[1:41:20] it was our responsibility to call their

[1:41:23] insurance again to find out.

[1:41:24] >> No.

[1:41:25] >> Yeah. So that's where we that's where we

[1:41:29] left it right there.

[1:41:30] >> Okay. No, I think you did.

[1:41:31] >> I don't know if Martinez got paid.

[1:41:34] >> I don't know

[1:41:34] >> or what.

[1:41:35] >> But

[1:41:38] you did what you're supposed to do. I I

[1:41:40] I'm impressed. I think you guys did

[1:41:42] great. So, uh, do we need to make a

[1:41:44] motion on this? as I say, this is ready

[1:41:47] to go to legal counsel and have them

[1:41:48] review it.

[1:41:49] >> If you want to make that motion, that'd

[1:41:51] be fine.

[1:41:52] >> Um, okay. I I'd like to make a motion

[1:41:54] for our no fault policy draft to be uh

[1:41:58] reviewed by our legal counsel.

[1:42:01] >> I'll second that.

[1:42:02] >> Okay. Motion second. All in favor? I

[1:42:07] >> I don't think uh Mickey would have any

[1:42:10] question about the amount or anything. I

[1:42:12] think is good and I think he'd be happy

[1:42:14] it was tied down.

[1:42:15] >> Okay, good.

[1:42:18] >> Okay, next board meeting on May 14th.

[1:42:24] » Hey, we need to go back to Andrew.

[1:42:28] >> Did I miss you, Andrew?

[1:42:29] >> I was out of

[1:42:30] >> Oh, I'm sorry. You're

[1:42:32] >> You're all right. Go back.

[1:42:33] >> I'm sorry. I

[1:42:35] >> Item I six. Yep.

[1:42:41] I'm sorry.

[1:42:42] >> No worries. So,

[1:42:43] >> okay.

[1:42:46] >> Currently, we're staffed at 34 of our 36

[1:42:49] positions. Uh, one of them, one of

[1:42:52] them's posted in house currently. We'll

[1:42:55] be going out next on Monday. The other

[1:42:59] one will be posted in-house today and

[1:43:01] we'll be going out a week from Monday.

[1:43:04] Okay. Uh the trainings that we have have

[1:43:07] going on is we just finished up on-site

[1:43:09] CPR, first aid and AAD training. We've

[1:43:12] got probably close to 95% of the

[1:43:16] employees through that. We didn't get

[1:43:18] the office staff able to run through

[1:43:20] that due to Desire's resignation. We

[1:43:23] didn't have the staffing to pull them

[1:43:25] out for the training. So, we'll be

[1:43:27] sending them over to Utah Safety Council

[1:43:28] for that. uh upcoming trainings. Ed

[1:43:32] Tucker, who was in here this mo this morning, uh is going to be

[1:43:35] attending traffic control technician

[1:43:38] training. Uh Ed does a lot of our

[1:43:41] flagging when the construction crew has

[1:43:43] a bigger job on a bigger road that we're

[1:43:44] that we need to set up flaggers for. And

[1:43:46] so it would be good to have Ed's uh

[1:43:49] trained in that. Uh we've got

[1:43:53] Jean Stock, our facility maintenance

[1:43:56] employee, going to training with Jordan

[1:43:59] Valley, the qualified water efficient

[1:44:01] landscaper, so that he can take care of

[1:44:02] our gardens here and know understand the

[1:44:07] water-wise plants that we're putting in.

[1:44:09] >> Yeah.

[1:44:10] >> Um if we're going to invest that kind of

[1:44:12] money into something like that, we also

[1:44:14] need to invest in our people to be able

[1:44:16] to take care of it. Is he qual Oh, are

[1:44:18] we going to do it ourselves or

[1:44:19] >> he's he's not going to do the install,

[1:44:21] but he'll do the maintenance on it

[1:44:23] after.

[1:44:23] >> Is he qualified to do that on

[1:44:25] >> He's going to get qualified on the 22nd.

[1:44:27] >> Okay. What is that going to cost us?

[1:44:29] >> Uh it's about a $300 course that you go

[1:44:32] through. Uh Jordan Valley has a company

[1:44:35] come in and do the training and

[1:44:38] >> lots of landscapers throughout the

[1:44:39] valley take this training.

[1:44:42] Um, we've got our manager lead team

[1:44:44] building coming up on the 23rd of April.

[1:44:47] And then we have unified fire coming in

[1:44:50] to do our on-site fire extinguisher

[1:44:52] training on the 29th. And then we also

[1:44:55] have a on-site confined spaces training

[1:44:58] coming up in June. Uh, this month's

[1:45:00] safety focus is fire safety. Uh, the

[1:45:03] only conference we have currently

[1:45:06] scheduled is WAU. uh next week. Trevor,

[1:45:10] Clint, and Scott Beck will be attending

[1:45:12] that. Uh we're currently going through

[1:45:14] the process of succession planning.

[1:45:16] We're meeting with employees talking

[1:45:18] about where they hope to go within the

[1:45:22] organization and about what we see

[1:45:26] coming forward.

[1:45:27] >> Is that in St. George?

[1:45:29] >> Yes, it is. Yeah.

[1:45:30] >> Okay.

[1:45:31] >> And it's going to be Trevor and Clinton.
