[1:39] >> Water.

[1:40] >> Yeah, we apprec we appreciate taking

[1:42] your time out and coming. And uh so

[1:46] we're going to move on to item F.

[1:49] Let me make sure I'm not screwing up

[1:51] because yesterday I was in a meeting and

[1:52] I bypassed stuff. So, um,

[1:57] do you want to you want to take this?

[1:58] >> Yeah. We're going to skip to the bottom

[2:00] and go with Kim first so that she can go

[2:03] back out to her customers. You want to

[2:05] stand, Kim? Uh, we're excited to have

[2:08] Kim in here. So about a month and a half

[2:11] ago, they decided that they wanted to

[2:14] really make a push on getting autopay

[2:16] set up for as many customers as possible

[2:19] to try and cut down on the amount of

[2:22] phone calls that were coming in. And so

[2:25] they challenged themselves that whoever

[2:27] could get the most uh people signed up

[2:30] on autopays. They between Kim, Mandy,

[2:35] and Katie, they signed up over 50 new

[2:38] customers on autopay, which really cuts

[2:41] down on a lot of

[2:43] >> delinquencies,

[2:46] uh, notices, and things like that. Um,

[2:48] so maybe Le could talk a little bit

[2:50] about how it helps. you you said

[2:53] probably everything we need to say, but

[2:54] yeah, obviously when people sign up for

[2:56] autopay and have money in their bank.

[3:00] It does it cuts down on delinquencies

[3:02] and phone calls and just more work for

[3:05] us. So

[3:06] >> So Kim was the one that did the most.

[3:09] She had 22 of the 51. Wow.

[3:13] >> And so we just wanted to recognize her

[3:14] for her efforts with all of our

[3:16] customers with a gift card.

[3:17] >> Y Thank you.

[3:24] little competition.

[3:25] >> Thank you.

[3:26] >> Appreciate you.

[3:28] >> Look at Manny.

[3:30] >> What are you doing?

[3:33] >> Thanks, Kim.

[3:36] >> Okay, up next we have we have Dawson.

[3:39] Uh Dawson's on our uh water construction

[3:42] crew. He just completed his collections

[3:45] two cert certification. Um Dawson's been

[3:48] making a push lately to learn as much

[3:51] about this the collection side of things

[3:53] as possible. He spent a couple weeks

[3:55] with their crew and is preparing himself

[3:57] to be able to be an on call operator.

[3:59] Thanks to

[4:01] >> Thanks to

[4:05] Mark Manzanerys, he was unable to make

[4:07] it today. Um he's out

[4:09] on the camera van was couldn't pull

[4:11] away. Uh he completed his water

[4:14] distribution one. He's on our

[4:16] collections crew. Uh it's always good to

[4:18] see those operators going outside of the

[4:20] uh area that they specialize in and

[4:24] learn more about the district. So that's

[4:27] Mark Manzanerys. Um Jean Stock, he

[4:31] wasn't able to make it. He's out getting

[4:33] all of our fire extinguishers reertified

[4:35] for the year. And so he's got a

[4:38] >> and he could take 10 minutes to come in

[4:39] here.

[4:40] >> He's got a guy coming out that he

[4:41] couldn't leave alone. Um he just

[4:44] finished up his qualified water

[4:45] efficient landscaper certification. Um

[4:48] that's a big deal. We're excited about

[4:51] that. He's learned how to handle our

[4:54] garden area so that we can keep it as

[4:57] efficient as possible as well as be a

[4:59] good steward and an example to the

[5:02] public on how to do these things. Um and

[5:05] then Ed Tucker, he just finished up his

[5:09] traffic control technician. Ed's kind of

[5:10] our go-to flagger. Um, when we get the a

[5:16] job out there where we need all hands on

[5:18] deck, we kind of lean on Ed. And so him

[5:20] getting that is a is a big deal. He

[5:22] couldn't come in. He's doing CIP. Um,

[5:25] but nobody wants to come see the board.

[5:28] I think that one was a Steve that was a

[5:30] Steve decision on the CIP.

[5:33] >> That one's kind of a plant decision.

[5:35] When it has to be done, it has to be

[5:37] done.

[5:37] >> Trevor, what's going on?

[5:40] So, those are our employee recognitions

[5:42] for today. We're excited about all of

[5:44] them, though.

[5:45] >> Awesome.

[5:45] >> That's awesome.

[5:47] >> Congratulations.

[5:50] >> Okay, let's move on to item G. Who's

[5:52] going to do this one? You, too.

[5:53] >> I'll take part of it and we'll lean a

[5:55] little bit on the employees as well as

[5:58] their managers. Um, first we have

[6:00] Melinda Campbell. Um, she's our newest

[6:03] office staff. You want to stand,

[6:04] Melinda?

[6:05] >> There's a microphone right there.

[6:07] >> Do I need the microphone? Yes, you. Yes,

[6:09] you do. So, I can hear what you're

[6:10] saying.

[6:11] >> So, so the so the microphone can pick

[6:13] you up here. So, we're excited about

[6:16] Melinda. She comes with a lot of

[6:17] customer service experience as well as

[6:19] some leadershipship experience. She's uh

[6:23] been a great fit in the office. She's

[6:26] really dug in and learned a lot and

[6:30] she's expanding that role every day. Uh

[6:32] do you want to take a minute just tell

[6:33] us a little bit about yourself?

[6:35] >> Um like you said, my name is Melinda

[6:37] Campbell. I used to be the cheer coach

[6:40] at Cypress for many years and I retired

[6:44] from that and looked for a big girl job.

[6:47] So, I got my big girl job now. So, um

[6:51] I'm excited to be here. Uh my son is

[6:54] graduating from the fire academy today,

[6:55] so I'm really excited about that.

[6:57] >> Yeah. Nice.

[6:58] >> Thanks, Melinda.

[7:03] » Up next, what time is that today?

[7:08] out to.

[7:10] >> Thanks, Linda. Up next, we have Cameron

[7:14] Peterson. Uh Cameron

[7:18] comes from us from the country. Uh he

[7:20] grew up in a small town, which is kind

[7:23] of exciting for me to have another hick

[7:27] here. Um, but what really excites us

[7:31] about Cameron is his willingness to

[7:33] learn, his work ethic, and the fact that

[7:36] he came in with already having a CDL,

[7:38] which means he can jump into a lot of

[7:41] the things that some newer employees

[7:43] can't when he first got here. Why don't

[7:45] you introduce yourself a little bit?

[7:48] >> Yeah, thanks, Andrew. And yeah, I'm

[7:50] Cameron. I'm really excited to be here.

[7:53] I appreciate being here.

[7:55] There's not a whole lot the city just

[7:59] getting used to it and

[8:01] yeah, I appreciate the opportunity and

[8:03] I'll give it my best.

[8:05] >> Thanks. Got anything to add, Dallas?

[8:07] >> I would just say Cam's finishing up his

[8:08] second week. Um he's been thrown into a

[8:11] pretty labor intensive job that we're on

[8:13] right now and um he's sticking right

[8:15] with the guys and they've reported back

[8:17] that he's fitting in good which is

[8:18] important and we're real excited about

[8:20] it.

[8:21] >> Thank you.

[8:21] >> Thanks.

[8:22] >> What What made you earn a CDL? What were

[8:24] you doing before that?

[8:27] >> Um,

[8:29] really just the opportunities and

[8:32] getting something under my belt that I

[8:35] can have to

[8:37] >> So, you weren't doing over the road or

[8:39] anything like that?

[8:39] >> No, he jumped into Slick, the community

[8:42] college, and paid for it and got it all

[8:44] on his own.

[8:44] >> Yep. I actually graduated the day of my

[8:48] interview, so yeah, I'm pretty new to

[8:50] it, but

[8:51] >> that's good to have.

[8:52] >> Thanks, Cam. Well, welcome. Glad to have

[8:54] you.

[8:55] >> Thank you.

[8:59] » And up next, our newest employee, Trevor

[9:01] Ratcliffe. He just joined the water

[9:02] construction crew. Um Trevor came uh

[9:06] with strong reference from Gavin

[9:10] Henshaw, one of our uh employees. It's

[9:14] always good to have employees that are

[9:16] referencing somebody to give us a idea

[9:18] of who that person might be. Um, why

[9:21] don't you tell us a little bit about

[9:22] yourself, Trevor?

[9:24] >> My name is Trevor Ratcliffe. Grew up

[9:26] here in Magnum my whole life. I like

[9:28] going hunting and I'm excited to be

[9:30] here.

[9:32] >> You got anything to add, Steve?

[9:34] >> Oh, like I say, he's only been here a

[9:36] week, but we're excited to have him. I

[9:39] mean, he's already fitting in great with

[9:41] the guys, so I think

[9:42] >> we got Magna. Yeah, another Magna guy.

[9:45] Thanks, Trevor.

[9:50] That's it for our new employee

[9:51] introductions. We're excited to have

[9:53] them all though.

[9:54] >> See you guys.

[10:02] » Oh. Oh, sorry. Okay. Moving on. Approval

[10:06] of common consent items.

[10:09] >> This is the regular board meeting held

[10:11] April 9th, 2026. Expenses from April 1st

[10:15] to May 6th, 20

[10:17] 26.

[10:19] General expenses 2,26,4483

[10:25] science bank bond payment 1,336,99729.

[10:32] » I'll second it.

[10:33] >> It's been motion second. All in favor?

[10:35] >> I.

[10:36] >> Thank you. Let's move on to our uh

[10:38] department report. Let's move on to

[10:41] general manner manager report. Trevor

[10:43] Andrews filling in.

[10:44] >> Yep. I'll cover that. So, just a few

[10:48] things on here. Andrew is going to go

[10:50] over staffing. So, I'm going to jump

[10:52] from there into operations.

[10:56] Um, as you know, we've been using reuse.

[10:59] That's been going well. Um,

[11:03] the parts for the copper club secondary

[11:06] extension, those are been ordered and

[11:09] just waiting on those before the

[11:11] construction crew will start

[11:14] uh building that.

[11:16] And then want to jump over to the office

[11:21] portion.

[11:23] Um, we worked with Yappify

[11:27] to put in an application for a grant.

[11:30] It's the transparent water billing grant

[11:33] and that will help pay for the AMI uh

[11:37] kind of customer portal that we have

[11:39] with Yapplify. So, if we get that grant,

[11:41] it'll cover 50% of the cost for 3 years,

[11:44] which is pretty significant.

[11:47] Um, and they just look for wanting

[11:51] information at the end of the year, you

[11:53] know, looking at did it change the water

[11:55] use, you know, things like that. So, um,

[11:59] we'll let you know if that comes

[12:00] through.

[12:01] >> Hey, Trevor, I got to ask you a

[12:02] question.

[12:02] >> Yeah.

[12:03] >> I had a resident from Murray called me

[12:05] yesterday for the Jordan Valley. So the

[12:08] question I have, do we have a deal

[12:10] that's on our computers that let's just

[12:13] say if somebody's really using a lots to

[12:16] lots of water, does do we have something

[12:18] that actually bings our computers out

[12:20] here letting them know that that people

[12:22] because this this deal that happened

[12:24] over in in Murray through Jordan Valley,

[12:27] it went for 6 months before

[12:32] they caught it.

[12:33] >> Yeah. So this once we have that AMI

[12:36] customer portal, we can set those

[12:38] notifications and the customer will be

[12:41] able to set their own as well.

[12:42] >> And I think that would be really good

[12:44] because there was,

[12:46] >> you know, six months.

[12:47] >> So So I'll add I don't think it would

[12:49] ever go 6 months because of the way

[12:51] Leo's uh office runs it. Maybe she can

[12:54] talk about what they do.

[12:55] >> We just get all the usages once a month,

[12:58] right? So if it's over a 100,000 gallons

[13:01] of usage, then we notify the customer to

[13:04] set up a leak check.

[13:06] >> Okay.

[13:06] >> Um so but if they don't respond to our

[13:09] notices or anything, then there's no way

[13:12] we can check for a leak.

[13:13] >> Right. Right.

[13:14] >> But if they do, then we'll set up an

[13:16] appointment with our guys and they'll go

[13:17] out and do a leak check. I

[13:18] >> I'm wondering if we need to send out a

[13:20] reminder. I had three people this last

[13:22] month

[13:23] >> had overflows going over because the

[13:25] float changed.

[13:26] >> Yeah. One of them had to replace the

[13:28] whole float. The other ones were just

[13:30] adjustment. People don't even realize

[13:32] that water is just going over the whole

[13:34] float.

[13:34] >> The toilet.

[13:35] >> Yeah. Yeah.

[13:36] >> Maybe we need to send out a reminder.

[13:38] Can we do that with the building?

[13:40] >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[13:42] >> If was she'd remind them,

[13:44] >> huh?

[13:45] >> If Vie was here, she would. Virginia.

[13:49] Well, I'm just saying that we ought to

[13:50] maybe put something in our billing and

[13:53] just remind people to check the floats

[13:55] because that's so silent they don't even

[13:57] know it.

[13:58] >> And I had that happened to my brother,

[13:59] too. His house, he had like three of his

[14:01] toilets out of four were like going over

[14:03] and he couldn't understand. And Raymond

[14:05] went up there and looked at all the

[14:06] income to find out why they went inside

[14:08] and the toilets the overflow.

[14:10] >> I was just saying if you get 3,000

[14:12] gallons, that's a little too late, isn't

[14:14] it?

[14:15] >> Yeah. 100,000 gallons is a lot.

[14:18] >> I thought it was 3,000.

[14:19] >> No, no, no. We do over a 100,000 in one

[14:22] month. I mean, that's a lot.

[14:25] >> But with this new system, it'll ping

[14:27] them.

[14:28] >> Yeah.

[14:28] >> Continuous use or

[14:30] >> This is us manually doing it. But with

[14:32] the new system, it'll be automatic and

[14:34] they could set their own. Like I

[14:36] average$7,000

[14:38] a month. So, if it goes over that, let

[14:40] me know. Yeah. You know, something like

[14:42] that.

[14:43] >> So, they'll have a lot more control. And

[14:45] we'll also be able to set our own, you

[14:48] know, more

[14:49] >> custom

[14:51] >> alerts.

[14:52] >> Right now, it's all manually.

[14:54] >> I think it's really important because

[14:55] it's going to save a lot of headache,

[14:57] especially on sprinkler systems where

[14:58] they've got sticking valves and things

[15:00] like that

[15:01] >> because it goes in the ground and they

[15:02] don't ever see it.

[15:03] >> That's going to be great.

[15:05] >> Yeah.

[15:07] Um, next we'll jump down to

[15:10] communication and morale. Um,

[15:14] I'll just mention these and then Andrew

[15:16] and Steve can talk a little more about

[15:18] it, but they've done a couple of uh

[15:21] visits to schools. They did a elementary

[15:24] school assembly and then they had um a

[15:29] career day at Lacidge Elementary. So,

[15:31] I'm going to pull up some pictures of

[15:33] that and they can discuss kind of what

[15:35] was going on there.

[15:38] I think we need to I think we need to

[15:41] start visiting the schools a little more

[15:43] often to give some prospective

[15:47] employees.

[15:47] >> Yeah. I think I think the presentations

[15:50] that we prepared for this one partic

[15:53] this one that we did last Friday in

[15:55] particular we could start to reuse and

[15:59] start going to these schools more

[16:00] frequently.

[16:01] >> Well, I think it's important to do that.

[16:02] In fact, I'm with the city. We're we

[16:05] want to engage in the schools, you know.

[16:07] So, I think this would be important that

[16:09] we could engage in with all the schools

[16:12] if we can, especially at the younger

[16:14] level. I don't know how much the high

[16:16] school people, but I think from the

[16:19] junior highs down

[16:20] >> would be a big plus.

[16:23] >> They seem to be more receptive in the

[16:24] elementary, I think.

[16:26] >> Yeah.

[16:26] >> Especially like the third to sixth grade

[16:29] age range. They were

[16:30] >> right.

[16:31] >> They really enjoyed it.

[16:33] >> So, these pictures You flip through

[16:34] first. These are at Lakeridge Elementary

[16:38] career day that we did on Tuesday. Uh

[16:41] Steve's crew and uh

[16:43] >> Ty went and set up a booth as well as

[16:46] some people outside showing equipment

[16:48] and they had a chance to talk to all the

[16:49] employee all the kids came through each

[16:52] class one by one and they were able to

[16:54] explain a little bit about what we do

[16:57] here at Magna Water and how the water

[17:00] gets to them. It was a pretty positive

[17:02] experience. They spent from 1:00 till

[17:05] 3:15 that day

[17:07] >> meeting with children and it was pretty

[17:09] exciting. Um then on Friday last week uh

[17:14] we teamed up with Jordan Valley and me

[17:17] and Steve went and spoke to an assembly

[17:20] of kids. They had two assemblies. Um we

[17:23] spoke at both of them and we talked

[17:26] about water conservation. Steve taught

[17:28] them how water gets to their houses and

[17:31] what we do here. And I was able to talk

[17:34] to them a little bit about the different

[17:36] jobs here at Magna Water and

[17:41] what the possibilities are for them if

[17:43] they decided that this was the route

[17:44] that they'd like to go. They liked it so

[17:47] much that they're already trying to

[17:50] invite us back out. So,

[17:52] >> it's pretty exciting.

[17:54] >> Yeah. Last month, Adobe Rock had a

[17:57] >> open open house. And all I heard the

[18:01] kids say, I got to go crawl up on the

[18:03] loader and honk the horn.

[18:07] >> Talk about stimulating cells.

[18:10] >> That's good. That's good.

[18:11] >> I think that's really good.

[18:13] >> Yeah, I think it went well.

[18:14] >> Yeah. Do we take any like any little

[18:18] gadgets to give?

[18:19] >> So, we're going to order some next week

[18:21] to start handing out. We handed out some

[18:24] candy at the Lacage event. Um, at this

[18:28] event, it was such short notice that we

[18:30] didn't have time to get anything ordered

[18:32] that we went and spoke to the assembly.

[18:33] But, uh, we're we're planning on getting

[18:36] some stickers and some pencils and stuff

[18:38] to hand out of these and we look forward

[18:41] to doing some more in the future.

[18:43] >> Mhm.

[18:44] >> That's really nice.

[18:46] >> Okay, that's all I had with the managers

[18:49] report.

[18:50] >> Thank you, Trevor. Now, it's your turn

[18:52] again. Yep. Okay, we'll go into the

[18:55] engineering report. So, just some

[18:58] progress updates. Influent pump station.

[19:01] Um, moving along. Well, I wanted to just

[19:03] bring up a few pictures here because

[19:05] there's some pretty significant

[19:08] uh you know,

[19:11] progress there. This is the grit

[19:13] building with those classifiers. There's

[19:16] the two of them. A lot of intricate

[19:17] piping that's in there. There'll be a

[19:19] platform here in the center.

[19:22] Do they run simultaneously or do they

[19:24] alternate?

[19:25] >> It's one in one. So redundancy and we

[19:28] usually go six months between

[19:32] » and then another significant well we'll

[19:35] just go into this is also part of the

[19:37] grit. This is the grit separator. They

[19:41] did some work down below that grading

[19:43] and then um up here on top with the pump

[19:46] and motor that takes the grit to that

[19:50] grit classifier that we just looked at.

[19:52] Um some other things that have been

[19:54] happening is uh the screw pumps. They

[19:56] grouted those. So they've got them

[19:58] formed up here. Just a few pictures of

[20:01] that. And then we'll watch a a short

[20:03] little video of that process

[20:08] trying to find which one is the best.

[20:11] might be this one. Uh pretty pretty time

[20:14] consuming. They they mix up grout, they

[20:17] put it in this little hopper, and then

[20:18] drop it basically right down onto the

[20:22] um

[20:24] right down onto the screw

[20:26] >> on the augur.

[20:27] >> And the screw

[20:28] >> that close up the gap, Trevor.

[20:30] >> Yeah. What that does is it fills the

[20:33] space in between, you know, what they've

[20:35] already poured and the screw. And the

[20:38] screws just run and pull that up, you

[20:42] know, and they just kind of move this up the screw as they go.

[20:48] >> Imagine that uh wears out the concrete.

[20:53] >> Well, once it once it's complete,

[20:56] um I think this one's actually moving.

[20:59] Yeah. So, once it's complete, what they

[21:01] did was weld a a small little quarter

[21:03] inch bead around that entire screw

[21:05] >> on the auger.

[21:06] >> Yep. And once this grouts in and dries,

[21:09] then they remove that so there's that

[21:12] small gap there so it's not rubbing

[21:14] >> on it.

[21:16] >> Yep. Yep. So

[21:19] >> So I I've got some stuff I picked up.

[21:21] >> Like here's a pretty good picture of

[21:23] that.

[21:24] >> Oh yeah.

[21:26] >> So

[21:27] >> have you ever heard of sewer coat?

[21:30] I picked up a couple pallets of that and

[21:32] they use it to repair manholes and stuff

[21:35] and it is some tough grout. I'm called

[21:38] sewer coat.

[21:39] >> Okay.

[21:40] >> Yeah. So, they got all three of those

[21:42] done last week. Um, successful,

[21:46] worked really well, and so that's just

[21:49] getting much much closer to being a

[21:51] fully functional pump station. So, it's

[21:54] pretty exciting.

[21:56] um Hannes well number eight. We've got a

[21:58] pre-construction meeting um next week.

[22:02] So that will get going here and we'll

[22:06] probably be, you know, breaking ground

[22:08] with that drill in the well this month.

[22:11] Um working on the grant application

[22:14] right now. We've got that about 90%

[22:17] complete, which basically we'll just

[22:19] turn everything in, make sure the EPA is

[22:21] okay with everything we've turned in,

[22:23] and then that grant will be awarded. Um,

[22:26] so that's that's exciting. That's

[22:28] moving.

[22:30] Um, some other things, the change house

[22:33] or operations building at the WRF is

[22:37] it's out to bid right now. It closes on

[22:39] May 21st next week. We had quite a few

[22:42] contractors that were uh they came to

[22:46] our mandatory pre-bid, which means

[22:48] they're the only contractors then that

[22:50] can bid on that. Um

[22:52] >> we had quite a few.

[22:54] >> Yeah, I want to say there was six, seven

[22:56] of them.

[22:57] >> Wow.

[22:57] >> Pretty good interest. Um some questions

[23:01] so far, but I think that's going well.

[23:04] So, we'll see how that shakes out next

[23:07] week and we'll bring that to the board

[23:08] in June.

[23:11] um secondary reservoir in zone three

[23:14] that has been cruising the last month.

[23:17] Got a few pictures here of that. This

[23:21] don't have a lot of in between pictures,

[23:23] but I can show you kind of the beginning

[23:25] and the end. Um so this was pretty close

[23:28] to right at the beginning. Um you can

[23:32] see they're just barely starting to

[23:34] scrape that down. Um, and then as we

[23:39] move, this is about a month later.

[23:41] They've moved quite a bit, but you can

[23:42] see there's lots of water, which they

[23:45] dealt with a lot of water down in the

[23:47] hole throughout.

[23:49] >> That's crazy. All them springs.

[23:51] >> But now we're moving into this was a few

[23:53] weeks ago. Um, they've got it fully dug.

[23:57] They've got liner in. That's what this

[24:00] is going in there.

[24:01] >> What's the white? That looks like a

[24:03] bunch of seagulls there. Uh they've just

[24:05] got bags

[24:06] >> pulling it blowing.

[24:07] >> Yeah.

[24:08] >> So Trevor, I got a question. You know

[24:09] how they have all that problems up there

[24:11] and I actually I went Don took me up

[24:13] there last week and we tooured it and

[24:15] everything. Pretty impressive. But the

[24:17] question where you have all that ground,

[24:19] you know, all them springs. Can that

[24:21] water be some way used to go into this pond or

[24:27] >> So we have a it's complicated. It would

[24:30] be um we have a change application with

[24:32] Kennott to bring spring water to our

[24:34] zone two.

[24:35] >> Okay.

[24:36] >> Um but we don't really know where the

[24:38] origin of these ones is. You know, where

[24:40] this spring is coming from. So it would

[24:43] probably take investigating where that

[24:44] is, finding out whose water,

[24:47] possibly water right issues, things of

[24:50] that nature. So

[24:51] >> it just comes

[24:53] in a trench and put a perforated pipe in

[24:55] like we do in a drain field. Right now

[24:57] we have that around the reservoir. Um

[25:00] and it takes it out and it just

[25:02] discharges it in our basically where we

[25:04] would overflow by that holly drilled

[25:07] that spring used to be right up there by

[25:09] them trees.

[25:10] >> Okay.

[25:10] >> And there was some troughs there and it

[25:12] there was quite a bit of water coming

[25:13] out of it.

[25:13] >> I remember we went up there that time.

[25:15] >> Well, that's one below there and there

[25:17] right by that holly road and them trees

[25:19] are there. That's where they watered the

[25:20] cows.

[25:21] >> Okay.

[25:22] >> There is a big spring right there.

[25:24] >> This is coming through the ground. So,

[25:26] we don't know if it originates from that

[25:28] or somewhere completely,

[25:30] >> but yeah, we're capturing and you know,

[25:32] so it doesn't affect our reservoir.

[25:35] >> And I know that spring is up at the top

[25:37] of there.

[25:38] >> So,

[25:39] >> do they just overlap, Trevor, or do they

[25:41] fuse it on?

[25:43] >> They they overlap them and they put a

[25:45] little vent

[25:47] uh between the two layers and then that

[25:49] when that gets wet.

[25:50] >> That's pretty neat. I was watching them

[25:51] do that and they were pretty close to

[25:52] being done. Um, so there's kind of the

[25:54] two sides of the reservoir. This is

[25:57] continuing that progress as they buried

[25:59] some of that liner

[26:02] and then they're here. They are putting

[26:05] some rock around the edges

[26:08] and Dallas was able to get out there and

[26:10] drone. So, we got a a couple, you know,

[26:13] aerial views here. You know what I'd

[26:16] really like you guys to do is get these

[26:17] pictures and I'd like to I would like to

[26:20] have them, you know, made up into

[26:23] frames. And I think some of these

[26:25] projects we're doing, I think we need to

[26:26] put them on our walls just, you know,

[26:30] >> or have it or have it have a screen and

[26:33] have it run through it.

[26:34] >> Right. Right. Right.

[26:35] >> Stand there. And it'd be it'd be

[26:37] important to see some of this stuff on

[26:39] our walls like down that hallway cuz

[26:41] when I go over to other districts, they

[26:43] have all that stuff and I'd like to see

[26:45] that happen.

[26:48] » We'll do that. So, speaking of this

[26:51] project and site visit, I know Mick was

[26:53] out there. He looked at it. We were

[26:55] wanting to see if the board would would

[26:57] like to visit it possibly before the

[27:00] June meeting next next month

[27:05] if there's interest in that.

[27:08] >> I don't know.

[27:09] >> Should we plan?

[27:10] >> I haven't even been down ser

[27:12] >> plan for that. I mean, I think we could

[27:14] do it just before the meeting, you know,

[27:16] maybe it's around 9 or so or 9:30 or

[27:19] >> Everybody says, "When are they going to

[27:20] put the fish in here?" And I said,

[27:21] "There's no fish. This ain't a fishing

[27:24] pond

[27:24] >> and hopefully they don't grow in there.

[27:26] You know,

[27:28] >> should be getting some pretty clean

[27:29] water. So, just a little update on that.

[27:32] Uh

[27:33] >> morning before the uh

[27:35] >> June meeting,

[27:36] >> second Thursday.

[27:37] >> Yeah, if we could plan for that and

[27:39] >> a little bit of coffee and donuts.

[27:41] >> Sure.

[27:42] >> Don't need no donuts.

[27:44] >> Um other things, lead and copper,

[27:46] >> dilbert,

[27:48] >> lead copper service replacements been

[27:50] going well. They've just been moving

[27:52] around the city. Um they've completed

[27:55] 9100 including pavement. Um moving on to

[27:59] other areas. 8950 is one of those. But

[28:02] that's been overall a really good

[28:04] process. The homeowners have been, you

[28:08] know, really receptive

[28:10] um helping us get through that. So that

[28:14] is the end of the engineering report.

[28:16] >> Thank you, Trevor.

[28:17] >> Yep.

[28:19] >> Okay, moving on. Let's move over to

[28:23] We're going to move over to you, Steve.

[28:25] >> All right. Thank you, board chair. Um,

[28:28] so the water production summary for the

[28:30] month of April, as far as culinary goes,

[28:33] we've produced 113.06

[28:37] million gallons or 347 acre feet. That's

[28:41] a 2.82%

[28:43] decrease from 2025.

[28:46] Year to date, we've produced 418.7

[28:50] million gallons for 1,285.03

[28:54] acre feet. That's a 1.2 29% increase

[28:59] from 2025 year to date. So far, year to

[29:03] date, we purchased 263.66

[29:07] acre feet of water from Jordan Valley.

[29:10] And the secondary water production um

[29:13] for April was 16.22. 22 million gallons

[29:17] or 49.8 acre feet. That's a 29.14%

[29:22] decrease from 2025.

[29:26] Year to date, we've done 20.84 million

[29:29] gallons or 63.96

[29:32] acre feet.

[29:34] That's a 0.55% decrease from 2025.

[29:39] As far as call outs go, we had a total

[29:43] of 13. 10 of those were water. Three of

[29:46] them were wastewater for a total of 39

[29:48] hours. 30 that were water and nine were

[29:52] wastewater.

[29:53] We had three service line leaks and then

[29:56] 10 miscellaneous call outs.

[30:00] Um, that's all I have unless you have

[30:02] questions on any of it.

[30:05] >> You have any questions, Jeff?

[30:07] >> Thanks, Steve.

[30:09] K Dallas,

[30:10] >> Mr. Chairman, thank you. Just go over

[30:12] quickly the water reclamation facility

[30:15] operational support for April. The

[30:17] plants running really well. The reuse

[30:19] system is fully operational. We pumped

[30:22] just about 13 1.5 million gallons up to

[30:25] the reservoirs during the month of

[30:27] April. Um BOD and TSS removals still

[30:31] really high at 98%.

[30:33] Um wasting rate is maintained. Daily

[30:36] average plant flow is about the same.

[30:38] We're running about 2.8 million gallons

[30:40] per day right now. And then u the

[30:42] treatment crew completed a scheduled

[30:45] service interview or interval on our

[30:47] Hubra fine screens. There were some

[30:48] wearable rollers that needed to be

[30:50] replaced. And then while we had the

[30:52] system down, we replaced some of the

[30:54] worn fittings from steel to stainless

[30:57] steel just to improve durability and

[31:00] long-term reliability. And then right

[31:03] now we're averaging an annual average of

[31:05] 1.03

[31:07] on the total phosphorus. So we're still

[31:10] looking really good towards our annual

[31:11] average that we need to be under 1.0. Um

[31:15] on the collection system side, we're

[31:17] starting the acoustic inspection with

[31:19] SLR wrap the last week of May. That'll

[31:22] probably take two to three weeks of

[31:24] work. Um, and then right now as far as

[31:27] the Vector location through the town,

[31:29] we're below Magnum Main Street and

[31:32] working our way from 9200 to 8,400. And

[31:35] then with the camera van, we're just up

[31:38] above 35th Souththeast of 8000 up near

[31:42] Belfast and working our way back down to

[31:44] 35th.

[31:45] >> Great.

[31:45] >> So, any questions?

[31:47] >> Nope. I seen him out there um

[31:48] jackhammering around all the

[31:51] >> So

[31:51] >> yeah, we got to get some of those

[31:52] manholes that get paved over up before

[31:54] we do the inspection. So that's right.

[31:56] >> Which numbers on our phosphates on the

[31:58] chart?

[31:59] >> Total phosphorus um it'll be

[32:03] >> just in the bottom on the monthly

[32:04] highlights

[32:06] >> on the

[32:07] >> effluent total FOS currently trending at

[32:10] 1.03.

[32:12] >> And what's our

[32:14] >> 1.0 zero is the annual average. Now that

[32:16] we're into the reuse season, every

[32:19] gallon of water that we send up is we

[32:21] get an equivalent pounds of phosphorus

[32:23] credit back.

[32:24] >> Okay.

[32:25] >> So,

[32:25] >> uh do we have a guideline or do you have

[32:28] a limit on that?

[32:29] >> Uh

[32:30] >> state established a limit on phosphorus.

[32:32] >> Yeah, the state the permit requirement

[32:34] is 1.0 as an annual average. Um, so for

[32:38] example, last year we ended at about

[32:41] 1.3, but with our total FOS credit, we

[32:44] ended up at like 0.85.

[32:46] >> How do you get a FOS credit?

[32:47] >> Because the reuse water that goes up to

[32:50] the town isn't discharged to our regular

[32:52] discharge waters.

[32:53] >> That's good.

[32:54] >> That's why reuse is so important.

[32:55] >> A lot of credits.

[32:57] >> How many credits do you usually get?

[32:59] >> Last year we it was almost point4.

[33:02] >> Oh my in credit.

[33:03] >> That's good. That's why we try to

[33:05] prioritize the reuse water so heavily.

[33:08] >> Everybody I know that's on it loves it.

[33:10] >> We love it. It's really good.

[33:12] >> No fish, no scales,

[33:14] >> no plugs.

[33:15] >> Yeah. Less filter cleaning.

[33:17] >> Yeah.

[33:17] >> And that's all I have, Mr. Chairman.

[33:19] Thank you.

[33:19] >> Okay. Thanks, Dallas.

[33:21] >> Okay, moving on. Let's go over to uh Le,

[33:25] our controller.

[33:26] >> Thank you, Mr. Chair and board. Um, so

[33:29] the first item on my agenda is the legal

[33:32] requirements. um report. I wanted to let

[33:36] you know that I've changed the form a

[33:37] little bit. It used to have another

[33:39] column on the end that was next due

[33:42] date. So, if we completed something in

[33:45] 26, that date would show in 27. But I

[33:48] thought this might be a little bit

[33:50] easier to read. It has date completed

[33:53] and the due date. So, it shows if it's

[33:56] blank, that doesn't mean it's it means

[33:58] it's not done. And then it then with the

[34:01] due date you can see, oh, were we late

[34:02] or were we early? Were we on time? So

[34:06] anyway,

[34:06] >> I like that.

[34:07] >> Yeah, I I thought it was easier to read.

[34:09] But what's coming up is uh our annual

[34:13] filing requirement to the state

[34:14] auditors, our 2025 financial statements.

[34:19] The auditors came out the first of this

[34:21] month and got all their field work in

[34:23] one day. And so

[34:26] we're anticipating having the report

[34:28] presented to the board next month. So

[34:30] that'll be able to be reported to the

[34:32] state by June 30th. And then the blues

[34:35] are the items that were finished by the

[34:38] end of April. Um we got reported

[34:40] everything we needed to to the

[34:42] transparency website. The WWTP

[34:46] annual bioolids report to the state

[34:49] Dallas got that completed.

[34:51] um

[34:53] our registry that we have to file every

[34:55] year to and pay $25 to just update our

[34:58] registry with the lieutenant governor's

[35:00] office. That's done.

[35:02] Um we got our first quarter payroll or

[35:05] yeah payroll reports completed.

[35:08] The municipal wastewater planning

[35:10] program report that is another agenda

[35:12] item later today. Uh the publishment of

[35:17] the CCR report, everyone knows it's got

[35:19] to be out by July 1st to our cons, our

[35:21] customers. So that's another later

[35:24] agenda item to go through. And then the

[35:28] ethical behavior written pledge to the

[35:30] trustees and employees. Um we're

[35:33] anticipating having that all signed by

[35:34] the end of this month.

[35:36] >> Yes, we presented we presented it to

[35:38] them at the last safety meeting. They'll

[35:40] sign it at this coming safety meeting.

[35:41] >> Great. And then the last one on the

[35:44] second page is the grandma training the

[35:46] requirement annual that I completed uh

[35:50] for 2026.

[35:54] And let's see, oh we're working on a

[35:58] freight study with um bone columns, but

[36:02] nothing's come up of that yet.

[36:05] That's the compliance report. If you'd

[36:07] like, I can go on to the financial

[36:09] report unless you have any questions on

[36:11] the I thought it looked really good.

[36:13] >> Okay, we do show a loss right now, but

[36:16] almost every year at this time, we do

[36:18] show a loss.

[36:18] >> That's what I was just going to say.

[36:20] >> At this time of year, we always show

[36:21] that loss.

[36:22] >> And we do and honestly, our budget shows

[36:26] a loss pretty much through the whole

[36:29] entire year until tax money comes in,

[36:31] >> right?

[36:32] >> So, it just that's shows just what

[36:35] happens is if we didn't collect taxes,

[36:38] we would be at a in a deficit,

[36:41] >> right? So it helps support our on&m m

[36:43] and pays our bond payments. So

[36:45] >> well you know what like I said I like

[36:47] this layout because you could understand

[36:49] it and you know and read it a lot better

[36:52] easier. Yeah.

[36:54] >> Shows you where we're under budget or

[36:56] over budget.

[36:57] >> Right now the revenues are under budget

[37:00] and the expenses are under budget too.

[37:03] So that's good. If you'd like, I can go

[37:06] through some more. But um

[37:07] >> Jeff, you have anything you're concerned

[37:10] best I've seen.

[37:11] >> That's what I said. I like this layout.

[37:13] I'm trying to get the city to kind of

[37:15] >> do this kind of stuff.

[37:17] >> Yeah. Great. Good. Um there are

[37:19] restricted funds

[37:21] as we all know, we've spent we're

[37:23] spending them on some projects. So the

[37:25] total of uh funds have gone down. And

[37:30] then in the later page,

[37:31] >> tell me that because I that's where I

[37:33] get really nervous.

[37:34] >> You and I both. But we're okay.

[37:37] >> We're okay.

[37:38] >> We don't have to sell that land yet,

[37:40] right?

[37:42] >> Soon as you can. No, Trevor says.

[37:46] >> As soon as you can.

[37:48] >> So restricted fund balance, we have 12

[37:51] million and unrestricted, we have 12

[37:53] million.

[37:55] And then the rest of the pages are line

[37:58] by line, detail by detail. But you can

[38:00] see on the first page of the detail, our

[38:03] water sales are at 104%. So the sales

[38:05] really aren't

[38:08] low. We're not under budget, just on

[38:10] strictly water sales. It's the other

[38:12] revenue sections that pulls us down

[38:15] under. And

[38:16] >> how about our impact fees? I noticed

[38:18] because we were talking about that the

[38:19] other night with the city, how the

[38:21] impact fees have kind of um

[38:24] slowed way down. Yeah.

[38:27] >> Yeah. We definitely show that same

[38:28] thing. Um,

[38:30] >> don't we have new impact fees? It'll

[38:31] take place on June 1st.

[38:33] >> May 19th is when they go into May,

[38:36] >> right?

[38:37] >> Yeah. 19th.

[38:38] >> It was 90 days on the 19th. Yeah.

[38:40] >> But that means when we don't have impact

[38:42] fees, that means they're not building.

[38:44] So,

[38:44] >> that's right. Yeah.

[38:45] >> It's a plus.

[38:46] >> Mahogany should have quite a few coming,

[38:48] >> which is a good thing.

[38:49] >> Mahogany's paid for phase one and two.

[38:52] the other phases haven't. So,

[38:54] >> so how many phases over there? Four.

[38:56] >> There's four that we've approved so far.

[39:00] We're looking at five right now, and

[39:02] they'll probably be a six and a seven.

[39:06] So, that's that's good for impact fee

[39:08] wise.

[39:12] » Okay.

[39:15] >> So, I mean, overall compared to budget,

[39:17] we're in a good position.

[39:19] >> That's good.

[39:20] >> Great. Thank you. Thanks.

[39:22] >> Thank you.

[39:23] >> Okay, Andrew, your report.

[39:26] >> Thank you, board chair. Uh,

[39:28] first thing I want to draw your

[39:30] attention to is that we are fully

[39:32] staffed.

[39:35] Um, as you know, that's

[39:38] pretty impressive throughout all of the

[39:40] industry right now to be fully staffed.

[39:42] We're pretty excited about that.

[39:44] um just speaks to how well the managers

[39:46] are doing at managing the crew and the

[39:49] morale and as well as what we offer

[39:52] here. Um then we go into training. We

[39:55] talked a little bit about the traffic

[39:56] control tech that Ed did and Jean's uh

[40:00] qualified water efficient landscaper. We

[40:02] did hold a manager league team building.

[40:05] uh Trevor and the engineering group uh

[40:08] led a training where we're where we're

[40:11] all able to participate in uh

[40:14] communication

[40:16] uh activity. Uh and then we also had an

[40:19] on-site fire extinguisher training from

[40:21] Unified. I've got a couple pictures down

[40:23] below that.

[40:24] >> I don't think Le's supposed to be able

[40:25] to touch a extinguisher.

[40:28] >> I didn't look. See

[40:29] >> there? There's Lis. She pulled the pin

[40:31] and she let her have it.

[40:32] >> Yeah, that's good. Um, everybody was

[40:35] able to get their hands on a fire

[40:36] extinguisher.

[40:38] >> A lot of people

[40:39] >> The first one I tried was not It was

[40:41] almost gone. So, it's like And then the

[40:44] second one, man,

[40:47] >> it was full.

[40:49] >> It's always one of the the operators

[40:51] favorite one to do to be able to go out

[40:53] there and get their hands on an

[40:55] experience,

[40:55] >> take their anger out on it. Right.

[40:57] >> So, that was a good training.

[40:59] >> Unified did a good job presenting. So,

[41:02] we're excited to have them and partner

[41:03] with them.

[41:04] >> So, did you will you write them a letter

[41:05] thanking them?

[41:06] >> Yes,

[41:06] >> please.

[41:07] >> We'll do that.

[41:09] Um, the on-site cyber security training

[41:14] was scheduled for May 27th. We're having

[41:15] to push that. Justin Bagos uh had a

[41:20] conflict. So, we'll do that in July. Um,

[41:23] we are doing arbinger training with our

[41:24] three new employees on June 2nd and 3rd.

[41:27] I'll be treating that training. Um, and

[41:31] then we're getting a handful of

[41:32] employees to uh trench and excavation

[41:35] safety training on June 3rd. And then we

[41:39] have a company our a company coming in

[41:41] doing on-site confined space training

[41:43] with our and showing us some tripods and

[41:48] uh going through our gas monitor on June

[41:50] 24th. Uh this month we're focusing on

[41:54] driving safety. Uh we've been covering

[41:57] things like uh

[42:00] speed and what to watch for in each of

[42:03] the morning meetings. Um no conferences

[42:06] currently planned. Succession planning

[42:08] has been completed. We were able to meet

[42:10] with uh people and have 66 discussions

[42:13] on uh what the possibilities are for

[42:16] people that are wanting to move forward.

[42:18] I think the most exciting thing is is to

[42:20] see from the last time we did these

[42:24] meetings to this time that people are

[42:27] grasping hold of, hey, let's plan ahead

[42:29] and let's look to our future. Anything

[42:31] from you guys on the secession planning

[42:34] that we did with you? We had a few come

[42:36] in and talk about the inspector position

[42:38] and a lot of the younger generation were

[42:41] pretty, you know, active in their

[42:43] questions and

[42:45] >> seemed motivated to kind of take the

[42:47] advice that they were given through

[42:49] that. So, it was exciting.

[42:51] >> That's what I've noticed is um they're

[42:55] listening now.

[42:57] >> I mean, they're listening to what it

[42:58] would take.

[42:59] >> Yeah.

[43:00] >> They're they're taking that from them.

[43:02] >> Yeah. So, we'll be better prepared in

[43:04] the future. So, it's exciting. And, uh,

[43:08] the last thing that I wanted to bring up

[43:10] is that that's not on here is a couple

[43:12] things that I've been working on. Uh,

[43:15] one is I'm starting to look into the

[43:18] vehicle evaluation um to see where we're

[43:21] at with with our fleet. And so, I'll

[43:24] have a report next month on that. And

[43:27] then the other thing is is with the

[43:31] union contract expiring next year, um

[43:35] we're starting to evaluate what some of

[43:37] the questions are that that people have

[43:39] come up with so that we're prepared for

[43:41] that that discussion when it comes up.

[43:43] Some of the things that we're looking

[43:45] into currently is where we are with

[43:48] maternity leave and things like that if

[43:51] we're matching up with the other

[43:53] districts and and there's other

[43:56] interests that that that employees have

[43:58] brought up is the sick leave. And so

[44:00] we're we're benchmarking ourselves on

[44:03] that as well so that we're ready for

[44:04] that discussion if it does come up in

[44:06] into the negotiations.

[44:08] >> Um that's it for me unless further

[44:11] questions. So, um, just a heads up, what

[44:13] about the Fourth of July parade?

[44:15] >> Um, I'm I'm entering into that. We're

[44:18] going to use the, uh, camera van. Dallas

[44:21] is going to have it all prepared and

[44:23] we'll have a couple employees and a

[44:24] manager there for that event.

[44:26] >> And then also, just to give the water

[44:29] company a heads up, um, I do have, uh,

[44:34] traffic control out radar in all around

[44:36] the city. So, okay,

[44:38] >> just to give you guys a heads up on

[44:40] that.

[44:41] Um, so

[44:44] >> yeah, I've been noticing that quite a

[44:46] bit.

[44:46] >> Yeah, we've I got them out

[44:48] >> trying to reduce the speed.

[44:50] >> We reduce we reduce the speed on 8,000

[44:53] from 40 to 35 and

[44:55] >> Okay.

[44:56] >> people that we wrote quite a few tickets

[44:58] over on there and I know that's one of

[44:59] our main roads we travel. So

[45:01] >> pretty.

[45:02] >> Yeah. So they're just

[45:04] >> I was wondering if that change was

[45:05] recent.

[45:06] >> Yeah.

[45:07] >> That's cool. I think I think that that's

[45:10] uh definitely needed. So,

[45:13] >> appreciate the city looking into that.

[45:14] >> Yep. I just want to make sure, you know,

[45:16] I want to give you guys all a heads up

[45:17] and

[45:20] >> so you can't say I didn't know that.

[45:21] Yes. Do

[45:23] >> they make the employees pay if they get

[45:25] a speeding ticket? It's it's not

[45:27] >> the taxpayers pay it.

[45:29] >> Uhuh.

[45:30] >> No, I just The employee the employee

[45:32] would pay the ticket.

[45:33] >> Yeah. It's not the water company.

[45:35] >> No employee. No. No. That's on their

[45:37] driving record.

[45:39] >> Yes.

[45:39] >> Hey, give me that look again.

[45:43] >> Fortunately, we haven't had any speeding

[45:47] tickets

[45:48] >> since I've been here.

[45:51] >> Okay. Um, again, I want to take a second

[45:54] really fast. I want to thank all you

[45:56] guys. Like I said, I was laying in bed

[45:58] the other night just thinking my career

[46:00] here for going on 17 years from where I

[46:03] started to where we're at now. It's like

[46:05] night and day. And I hear all the time

[46:07] how how everybody says Magnum Water is

[46:11] so wellrun and I heard that last night

[46:13] through Jordan Valley Water. So that's

[46:15] pretty impressive.

[46:16] >> Yeah.

[46:17] >> So again, I want to thank you guys for

[46:20] how hard you guys work and how you work

[46:22] together.

[46:22] >> I don't think the community understands

[46:24] the grants that you guys get. There's a

[46:26] lot of footwork there and that does save

[46:28] a lot of money.

[46:29] >> Thank you. that that 4 million we got in

[46:31] that reuse, that was a real that's been

[46:35] real neat.

[46:38] >> Yeah, you do a great job all of you.

[46:40] >> Appreciate that feedback, whole team.

[46:42] >> Thank you.

[46:44] >> It's nice to hear cuz we get a lot of

[46:48] not nice customers.

[46:49] >> Oh god.

[46:51] >> Well, we appreciate your feedback. Well,

[46:54] I do and like I said, I mean, like I

[46:56] said, we're we're all the trustees are

[46:58] really couldn't be more impressed.

[47:01] >> Thank you.

[47:02] >> So, okay, let's move on to our water and

[47:05] sewer availability discussion. Trevor.

[47:08] >> Okay. Thank you, chair and board. What

[47:10] we have here is called Box Wheel

[47:12] Maintenance Shop. Um,

[47:15] I will

[47:17] I don't have the GIS pulled up, but

[47:20] hopefully we can kind of orient

[47:22] ourselves here. So, we have uh the SR201

[47:27] and then there's the South Frontage Road

[47:29] and you all know the Godfrey building

[47:32] along there,

[47:33] >> right?

[47:33] >> This is just to the east of the Godfrey

[47:35] building. Um the parcel sits back from

[47:40] the frontage road to the south

[47:45] um right here. And they're just planning

[47:47] a just a smaller commercial building um

[47:50] shop building.

[47:52] And for water and sewer, you can see

[47:56] we've got water along the frontage at

[47:58] the south frontage road, but there's

[48:00] also um water that comes down this

[48:04] frontage road. Well, they're calling it

[48:06] South Frontage Road here, but that's a

[48:07] private line uh or private road to the

[48:10] Godfree properties, but we have

[48:13] easements for our water and sewer that

[48:15] are in there. So, the recommendation is

[48:18] to connect to those um each of those in

[48:21] that road and bring them into the

[48:23] property. We've run the fire flow and um

[48:27] their water demand and everything there

[48:29] looks good. We make the recommendation

[48:32] of approving water. What will they have

[48:34] on there? Just a building with bathrooms

[48:37] in or

[48:38] >> Yep. pretty simple.

[48:39] >> Because they won't use any other water.

[48:41] >> Yeah, the building does have a fire line

[48:43] planned. Um, but other than that, the

[48:46] it's just water and sewer for basically

[48:49] restrooms, little shop water.

[48:53] >> So, Mr. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a

[48:55] motion to approve the uh Box Wheel

[48:59] maintenance shop located 6123 West, 2100

[49:03] South for water and sewer connection.

[49:06] >> I'll second that.

[49:07] >> In motion, second. All in favor?

[49:09] >> I

[49:10] >> Thank you.

[49:11] >> Okay, moving on. Project award and

[49:12] agreement. Discussion possibly motion to

[49:15] approve the following projects awarded

[49:19] » and agreement. So, Dallas.

[49:21] >> Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, what we've have

[49:23] from Twin D is the quote to do our

[49:26] annual collection system rehab project.

[49:29] Um, it's something that we'll work on

[49:30] all summer. It's about 2700 ft roughly

[49:34] of slip lines. Some are manhole to

[49:36] manhole, some are just point and spot

[49:38] repairs. Um, we just target these

[49:41] maintenance projects based on severity

[49:42] of degradation. So, we're starting this

[49:45] a little earlier than we do in the past.

[49:48] We're just trying to avoid some early

[49:50] fall weather that could potentially

[49:52] impact some of these traffic control

[49:54] centers. Um, but you can see the total

[49:57] quote is around 260K. I try to put in an

[50:01] additional 15,000 in case they get into

[50:04] there and find something that needs to

[50:06] be repaired. We don't have to do any

[50:08] type of change to the quote. Um, so I

[50:10] just give them a do not exceed price.

[50:12] And like I said, we'll just be working

[50:14] on this all summer.

[50:16] Now, does that keep infiltration from

[50:18] coming in also or just

[50:20] >> It will. If there's any areas that have

[50:22] infiltration, this will keep it locked

[50:24] out.

[50:24] >> So, is the pipe we're slipping, is it

[50:26] all concrete and spigot?

[50:28] >> Some of them are tile and some of them

[50:30] are concrete.

[50:31] >> Is the tile eroding away?

[50:33] >> Um, it's just more prone to cracks

[50:37] >> and then and then the cracks get roots.

[50:40] So,

[50:40] >> that's just to say we have to fight the

[50:42] roots coming in,

[50:43] >> right?

[50:46] So,

[50:46] >> okay, Mr. Chairman, like to make a

[50:49] motion to approve the 2026 manhole to

[50:54] manhole slip line and spot repair

[50:56] project with Twin D construction for the

[50:59] amount of not to exceed 275,000.

[51:02] I'll

[51:03] >> second that.

[51:04] >> Be a motion. Second. All in favor?

[51:05] >> Have we used Twin D before?

[51:07] >> We have.

[51:08] >> Okay.

[51:08] >> So, question I have. So, you know, we're

[51:10] looking at 260 and like you said, you

[51:12] went 15,000 over. So if they don't where

[51:14] does that where does that money go Leo

[51:16] if we if we don't use the you know we

[51:19] budget for 275 and right here it says

[51:22] 260.

[51:23] >> Well it's not like we take if say it

[51:25] goes down to 260 we don't take 15,000

[51:29] somewhere. It just stays within the

[51:30] operating budget but if there's a a

[51:33] budget item that maybe goes over by the

[51:37] 15 that just kind of washes each other

[51:40] out.

[51:41] >> Okay. Awesome. Thank you. That makes

[51:42] sense.

[51:43] >> Yep.

[51:44] >> Okay. Let's move on. Administration and

[51:46] discussion. Possibly motion to approve

[51:47] the following administration items.

[51:49] Steve.

[51:50] >> All right. Um, thank you. Yeah. So, this

[51:52] is just our annual CCR report that we

[51:55] work with Joel together on.

[51:58] Um,

[52:00] this is due like Leis said, we have to

[52:02] have it out to the customers by July 1st

[52:05] and then we have 10 days after we get it

[52:06] to the customer to submit it to the

[52:08] state. So, um, when at the time that the

[52:14] I was putting the board packet together,

[52:16] we hadn't quite finished it. So, the

[52:18] only changes made to the final are the

[52:21] dates on the THMS and the HAAS and then

[52:24] the lead and copper. Both of those got

[52:27] changed to 2025.

[52:28] >> Yeah, I seen that.

[52:29] >> But other than that, everything else is

[52:31] the same. So,

[52:32] >> looks good. Now, is any of this

[52:34] available to the public

[52:36] >> right now?

[52:37] >> No. Once once we submit it.

[52:39] >> Yes.

[52:40] So it goes to everybody.

[52:41] >> It goes to everybody gets a copy of it.

[52:43] >> It'll be a link will be on the physical

[52:47] bill and then a link will also be on our

[52:51] website that goes straight to the CCR.

[52:54] Um

[52:56] and then anybody that requests comes in

[52:59] whatever can get a paper copy.

[53:02] So

[53:03] >> awesome. Looks pretty good. Look. I

[53:05] think it looks awesome.

[53:06] >> We do add Jordan Valley's water quality

[53:09] data to ours.

[53:11] >> Yeah,

[53:11] >> also when we send it.

[53:13] >> That's also in there. But

[53:15] >> is Jordan Valley in there now? I didn't

[53:17] notice.

[53:17] >> What's that?

[53:18] >> Jordan Valley isn't in there now, is it?

[53:20] It's not

[53:21] >> Oh, yeah. On that new one. Yeah.

[53:22] >> Yeah.

[53:23] >> But on the one we send in, it will be

[53:28] » okay. Does someone want to approve it?

[53:30] >> Sure. Mr. Mo Mr. Mr. Chairman, I'd like

[53:33] to make a motion to approve the 2025

[53:36] consumer confidence report.

[53:38] >> I'll second that.

[53:39] >> And a motion second. All in favor?

[53:40] >> I.

[53:41] >> Okay. Dallas.

[53:43] >> Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, this is just the

[53:46] municipal wastewater planning program

[53:48] survey. Um, it's an annual thing that me

[53:50] and Trevor and Leo work on each year. It

[53:53] does require a board motion. um just

[53:56] surveys, you know, age of our equipment,

[53:59] projects we're working on, population of

[54:02] the town. Um and then we submit it

[54:05] annually around this time.

[54:08] It's it's a survey that the board has

[54:10] seen before. Not a lot changes. Um

[54:13] >> the format looks different. Usually it's

[54:15] a print screen.

[54:17] >> Yeah, it's tough.

[54:18] >> This year they gave us a report to fill

[54:20] out like this, so that was good.

[54:26] I think I like this better. It's way

[54:28] better.

[54:29] >> That's what I was going to say. I like

[54:30] this.

[54:33] >> A lot faster to fill out.

[54:34] >> Yeah, it is.

[54:41] » Any questions?

[54:42] >> Good.

[54:43] >> Okay. Well, we want to uh approve this.

[54:47] >> Okay. So, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make

[54:50] a motion to uh approve the 2026

[54:54] municipal wastewater planning program

[54:57] report.

[54:58] >> I'll second that.

[54:59] >> Motion second. All in favor?

[55:00] >> I I

[55:01] >> Hey, just a heads up, you guys. Um I

[55:04] don't know how much copper we've got

[55:05] laying around, but over at Jordan

[55:07] Valley, we've they've been getting we've

[55:09] been they've been getting hit quite a

[55:10] bit for theft.

[55:12] >> Oh, wow.

[55:12] >> And it's actually in their new building

[55:13] they bought in West Valley City off

[55:15] Redwood Road by the Redwood Drive-In. So

[55:18] they put some uh what's them cameras

[55:21] called the light for hunting?

[55:24] >> Motel cameras out.

[55:26] >> And it's funny is the second time they

[55:29] caught the guys and they arrest them.

[55:31] The guys came back again.

[55:32] >> Same guys.

[55:34] >> You're kidding.

[55:34] >> Have we had any theft? We haven't had

[55:36] any.

[55:38] >> We're pretty secure on

[55:39] >> um and we really don't use a whole lot

[55:41] of copper anymore. Once in a while we

[55:43] do, but we don't keep much on hand.

[55:45] >> Okay. I just want to make sure that we

[55:48] kind of keep an eye on that cuz it's

[55:50] getting crazy again. We've had that down

[55:53] at the ballpark and

[55:56] >> Okay, Andrew discussion for um for

[56:01] season for operating season uh working

[56:04] schedule change.

[56:06] >> Yeah. So, if you'll just remember, board

[56:08] had uh the idea that maybe we help the

[56:11] operators out through the summer by

[56:13] getting in earlier, getting them out of

[56:15] the heat uh as a safety concern. Um so,

[56:19] we just wanted to bring this back to the

[56:21] board and just make sure that we're all

[56:24] still on the same page. We're

[56:26] anticipating starting this summer

[56:28] schedule for the operators, Steve,

[56:30] Dallas, and myself on June 1st through

[56:33] August 13th. the and the on call

[56:37] operator that week would still continue

[56:39] to work the normal schedule of 7 to 5:30

[56:42] so that we have coverage for that last

[56:45] hour of work.

[56:47] >> And what about our front office? Would

[56:49] they work?

[56:49] >> They're going to continue the front

[56:51] office and their managers and Trevor and

[56:54] Clint Dilly would continue with the name

[56:57] same 7 to 5:30 schedule.

[57:00] >> Okay. So, you know, I I'm the one, you

[57:04] know, I'm the one that brought this up

[57:05] about wanting to do this. The only

[57:07] question I have and I I just want to

[57:08] make sure I I can support this again,

[57:11] but that, you know, I don't want to sit

[57:13] and see our operators hanging out till

[57:15] 7:00 in the morning and and uh and then

[57:19] decide to get out on the streets. And if

[57:21] that's going to happen, I we'll just go

[57:22] back to the regular schedule. And I

[57:24] think we had that discussion last year.

[57:27] >> Uh we need to we need to get moving. We

[57:29] need to get here, get going.

[57:31] And it is it's getting way light.

[57:34] >> But I I just I just don't want to see us

[57:37] lolly gagging around going down to the

[57:39] gas station, going to the doughnut shop.

[57:41] >> Yep.

[57:42] >> And uh and and you know, I mean, because

[57:45] at the end of the day, we're all paid,

[57:46] including myself. We're all paid by

[57:48] taxpayers and we all need to look at

[57:50] that.

[57:51] >> I was hoping at six now.

[57:53] >> Yeah.

[57:54] No, I'm in agreement and I think the

[57:55] managers are all in agreement with that they'll get there and they'll get

[57:59] out on the roads as quickly as possible

[58:01] >> because I think this is a morale deal to

[58:04] form two, but in return with the board

[58:06] doing this for the them, they got to

[58:08] give back, too. And and and I'm going to

[58:10] be honest with you, if I have any

[58:13] complaint from the public, we'll just go

[58:15] back to the 7 to 5:30.

[58:18] >> I think we're in agreement

[58:19] >> and I I'm sure the board all agrees.

[58:22] >> Yeah. But I um you know with the office

[58:26] I mean if you think that schedule you

[58:29] know 7:00 to 5:30 I thought I thought we

[58:32] went

[58:34] >> with them I thought we went from 6:30 to

[58:37] 5. No never was okay.

[58:39] >> Uhuh. We didn't change and then the on

[58:41] call person would stay that extra hour.

[58:43] Okay.

[58:43] >> Or it would just shift to the

[58:45] >> Okay. Cool.

[58:46] >> Worked out.

[58:47] >> I'm totally in support as long as I said

[58:49] as long as we don't have any feedback

[58:51] from the community. Okay, great. Thank

[58:53] you. Appreciate your guys' support on

[58:55] that.

[58:55] >> Our next board meeting will be June 11th

[58:59] at 10 o'clock, 2026 here.

[59:04] Um, I don't think I'll second it.

[59:07] >> Okay.

[59:10] It's been motioned second. All in favor?

[59:13] >> I had a conflict. That's why I called

[59:16] Clint. I called you on

[59:18] >> because you're going to be gone. Well,

[59:20] the the 9th of July, I'm trying to ask

[59:23] if we can move it to the 16th in July.

[59:29] » I don't care.

[59:30] >> We can look at that. Um,

[59:34] >> I'm just trying to do it ahead of time.

[59:36] So, I've got the only big enough truck

[59:38] to haul the all their food and

[59:41] everything.

[59:41] >> And if you you know what, I don't have a

[59:42] problem if you if you have to miss the

[59:44] meeting. Me and Danny can take care of

[59:46] it.

[59:47] >> I don't want to miss it. I know, but I I

[59:49] know you don't, but I'm just saying

[59:52] >> you do get a break, too, don't you?

[59:54] >> I don't need This is fun.

[59:57] >> Yeah, we can we can move it. Don't

[59:59] worry.

[59:59] >> If we can move it, that's great.

[1:00:01] >> Um, just a thought or a reminder, I

[1:00:03] guess. June's usually our certified tax

[1:00:06] rate bump.

[1:00:07] >> Yes.

[1:00:08] >> And sometimes we don't have this

[1:00:11] certified rate. They're supposed to It's

[1:00:13] supposed to be out on the 8th. So hoping

[1:00:15] it's done and ready by the 11th, but if

[1:00:18] we don't, we might have to have a

[1:00:20] >> that's

[1:00:21] >> special meeting in June, maybe.

[1:00:23] >> So that might be like the 15th or

[1:00:25] something.

[1:00:25] >> Uh we have to have all of our paperwork

[1:00:28] into the counties or the state by the 20

[1:00:32] or 22nd. So it's got to be around then

[1:00:35] if it's going to be

[1:00:36] >> you'll just give us a little Okay,

[1:00:39] >> I'll contact you. But

[1:00:41] >> they always cut it right to the limit.

[1:00:43] >> That's confusing.

[1:00:45] remember a few times it comes in during

[1:00:47] the board meeting.

[1:00:48] >> If you do have to have a special

[1:00:49] meeting, the law has changed and so you

[1:00:51] could do that completely electronically

[1:00:53] now if that would be easier and save the time and money of doing this

[1:00:57] physically because I imagine if we had

[1:00:58] to do a special meeting it would be like

[1:01:00] five minutes.

[1:01:01] >> Yeah,

[1:01:01] >> that wouldn't be a big thing.

[1:01:04] >> Okay,

[1:01:04] >> that would be do electronic. Okay, just

[1:01:07] let us know whatever.

[1:01:08] >> So, are we in need? We're not in need of

[1:01:11] a closed door meeting today. Am I right?

[1:01:13] No.

[1:01:14] >> Okay. So, we're going to

[1:01:16] uh Does

[1:01:19] We don't have that. Um

[1:01:20] >> We're good.

[1:01:23] >> Yeah, we're good without a post.

[1:01:25] >> Okay. Does uh someone want Okay. So, do

[1:01:29] we

[1:01:30] >> So, does anybody have any any stuff that

[1:01:33] they would like to bring up? Hey, sir. I

[1:01:36] noticed you're you've came into the

[1:01:38] meeting and we're really close to being

[1:01:40] done. Is there anything that you want to

[1:01:41] address to us? I'll talk to
