[1:04] » Thank you. Does anybody here today have
[1:07] a public comment they'd like to address
[1:08] the board?
[1:12] Okay, see none. Does anybody here have a
[1:15] conflict
[1:17] that's on our agenda today?
[1:20] Okay,
[1:22] let's moving on. So, approval of common
[1:24] consent items.
[1:25] >> Minutes of the regular board meeting

[1:55] » I'll second it.
[1:56] >> It's been motion second. All in favor?
[1:58] >> I Okay, we're going to move on to
[2:01] department reports. Clint,
[2:03] >> thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um, as you got
[2:06] the GM report in there, as usual, I'll
[2:08] highlight a few items. If there's any
[2:10] questions, let me know. Um, staffing,
[2:13] all of our positions are currently
[2:14] staffed and have been for a while. So,
[2:17] that's in a we're in a good position
[2:18] there. Um, knock on wood.
[2:22] Water operations, I did want to
[2:24] highlight, they've been uh we did have
[2:28] issues again along 35th primarily on the
[2:32] secondary system.
[2:34] Um we've found that we need more
[2:38] aggressive flushing even after the
[2:41] startup. Um we've got some we think
[2:45] we've got some pockets where maybe more
[2:48] like a dead end some dead zones is what
[2:51] we're find.
[2:52] >> Yeah. So, one of the things that we did
[2:54] this year, which I'm really excited
[2:56] about, um we had purchased
[3:01] a hydrant flushing
[3:04] um box.
[3:07] Uh Steve was using that and he's like, I
[3:09] can't get enough flow through this. I
[3:12] wonder if I could come up with something
[3:14] better. He's really handy with uh
[3:16] fabricating and I want to show you what
[3:18] he ended up fabricating and it's working
[3:21] out great. Uh Steve, maybe you can tell
[3:23] them a little bit about it.
[3:25] >> Yeah. So with the other one, like you
[3:27] said, we couldn't get the flows to um
[3:29] really scour the pipe good enough. So
[3:33] the other one, you'd try to turn it up
[3:34] too much and it kind of just walk around
[3:36] the road.
[3:36] >> Yeah. No, like a snake.
[3:38] >> Yeah. So,
[3:39] >> and it was standalone. It was just
[3:41] sitting on
[3:42] >> Yeah. It's pretty teetery. And so I
[3:44] thought if we built one that we can just
[3:47] put it right in the hitch of the truck.
[3:48] >> I like that. And the nice thing is is it
[3:51] also helps kind of keep it confined to
[3:53] the gutter so we're not making a mess of
[3:54] >> it does go all over the road.
[3:56] >> Yeah. So it it actually worked out
[3:58] pretty good.
[3:59] >> And you
[4:01] >> What's that?
[4:03] [laughter]
[4:03] [clears throat]
[4:03] >> I told him he needs to. But
[4:05] >> yeah, you better put your name on that
[4:06] fast.
[4:07] >> Mhm.
[4:09] >> Pretty cool. Um and so you might see
[4:13] them out there uh more frequently
[4:16] throughout the year. We think
[4:17] >> people think that's gas coming out the
[4:19] back. [laughter]
[4:20] >> I I seen it up on my street. It looked
[4:22] really really good. [clears throat]
[4:25] >> So, wanted to make the board aware of
[4:27] that.
[4:27] >> Awesome.
[4:28] >> Thank Thanks, Steve for He's handy. He's
[4:30] done
[4:31] >> he built the uh trailer, all of that
[4:34] emergency trailer, all of the um
[4:38] connections and the pump and the pipe
[4:40] work and
[4:41] >> water tank
[4:42] >> on the water tank. Steve is handy with
[4:45] uh in all kinds of ways. Concrete work,
[4:48] welding.
[4:49] We're lucky to have them. Um,
[4:51] >> yes, we are.
[4:52] >> We are. It's real handy.
[4:54] >> The sanitary survey,
[4:57] their drink, division of drinking water
[4:59] does that every couple years.
[5:01] >> Every three years we have to do it. They
[5:02] come through and check everything, make
[5:04] sure um everything's up to par. So, we
[5:07] had our first meeting yesterday. Um,
[5:11] she's going to come out Monday and
[5:12] Wednesday to go through all the
[5:13] facilities. So,
[5:16] >> okay.
[5:16] >> Pretty extensive.
[5:18] >> Is it a different person now?
[5:20] >> Um, yes. This lady hasn't done it
[5:22] before. So,
[5:23] >> so might be something a little
[5:25] >> Yeah, we'll see how it goes, but she
[5:27] seems pretty good talking to her over
[5:29] the phone. So,
[5:31] >> on site's a lot different.
[5:33] >> Yeah, we'll see.
[5:35] >> Um, the Hannes well number two that
[5:38] we've had issues with. Um, we've got
[5:42] some additional sampling, some specific
[5:44] sampling that gives us more information
[5:46] completed. Steve's getting some quotes,
[5:50] uh, bids for pulling the pump and the
[5:53] video camera. And this we think there's
[5:56] a problem potentially with the surface
[5:58] seal.
[5:59] >> So, are we going to do a new wheel on
[6:01] number eight? Like,
[6:03] >> yeah, number eight's underway with a
[6:06] >> So, that'll be like 20 feet away or
[6:08] something. It's within is itund I think
[6:11] it has to be within 150 feet. What would
[6:13] you estimate it to be?
[6:15] >> They're probably
[6:17] 25 ft from the building right now. The
[6:20] >> You're talking the old number eight,
[6:21] right?
[6:22] >> Yeah. The old well and the new well.
[6:23] >> Yeah. So, they're like 25 ft from the
[6:26] old number eight that we're replacing.
[6:29] >> Um the number two that he's talking
[6:32] about, that's the one that we had bad s.
[6:34] [cough]
[6:36] So, we're trying to investigate.
[6:38] >> So, what you have to dig around it and
[6:39] put a new concrete seal around it or
[6:42] >> um we won't really know until we
[6:44] actually get it camera to find out if
[6:46] that's actually the problem.
[6:48] >> So, the casing will rot or something it
[6:50] could create.
[6:51] >> Yeah. I mean, there's a few different
[6:52] things that could be. So, once we get
[6:54] the camera, we'll have to
[6:55] [clears throat]
[6:57] >> Don't we have a camera we can shoot
[6:59] down?
[7:00] >> No, but Gavin's pretty skinny. we could
[7:02] sh [laughter]
[7:06] um we have done more extensive PAS
[7:10] sampling that the state wanted us to do
[7:13] on all of the the sources. We have found
[7:16] that it's really isolated to one of our
[7:20] wells
[7:22] >> pretty much. Um it's still below
[7:26] any potential future MCL.
[7:29] Um but they did want to meet and talk
[7:33] about options if we did want to pursue
[7:36] treatment um in the future.
[7:40] So we'll be meeting with them to talk
[7:42] through that and uh see what they have
[7:44] to say.
[7:45] >> So do we ever um I know it's pretty big,
[7:48] but do we ever put a casing down and put
[7:50] gravel around it? Do we ever do that
[7:53] >> as far as doing it ourselves?
[7:55] >> No. No. Do we ever put a PVC casing down
[8:00] and then put gravel around it so that it if if the casing's kind of rotted and
[8:06] stuff? Do we ever do that?
[8:08] >> Yeah, that's kind of how they're all set
[8:10] up. Um
[8:12] >> all of them are drawn through a
[8:13] perforated PVC liner.
[8:16] >> Um it's still on the the actual
[8:18] >> Oh, it's steel.
[8:19] >> Yeah.
[8:21] >> So on a steel casing, I had an old one
[8:23] was done in 53. Now we put a line a PVC liner down, but gravel between the
[8:29] steel and the PVC.
[8:31] >> Okay.
[8:32] >> Yeah. And I didn't have any more
[8:34] problems with contamination or rust or
[8:38] other than what was in the water.
[8:40] >> Yeah.
[8:44] » But I'm only 200 390 ft deep and you're
[8:47] like what 360?
[8:49] >> Um it varies. We got them anywhere from
[8:51] like 120 and I think this is going to
[8:54] 400.
[8:55] >> Okay.
[8:56] and yours about that.
[9:00] » Um, on the wastewater side, Dallas and
[9:05] Steve's been working together, but kind
[9:07] of spearheaded by Dallas on the reuse
[9:10] water. Uh, part of that is making sure
[9:14] we're providing the best water quality.
[9:17] and he's been looking at chlorination
[9:20] options and cycling of the reservoir
[9:23] levels to ensure that we keep the water
[9:26] age and as much chlorine as we can to
[9:29] keep any issues down uh in that
[9:33] secondary water. So, they've been
[9:34] working through that and I think that's
[9:36] going to be helpful
[9:38] >> going forward. Uh he'll talk about the
[9:41] rat
[9:43] and the acoustical inspection. One thing
[9:45] I wanted to let the board know, we met
[9:47] as a team with ET Technologies. They
[9:50] came out to our office and we finally
[9:53] are getting some answers on what's
[9:54] happening.
[9:56] >> Um, the new site.
[9:57] >> Yeah. So, they've confirmed they are
[10:00] moving. They've uh Dallas probably can
[10:04] speak to this a little better than me.
[10:05] Do you want to give them a heads up on
[10:06] that?
[10:07] >> When we met with them, they did confirm
[10:09] the date that they're closing and the
[10:11] proposed date that they're opening.
[10:13] There should be a loss in service. It's
[10:15] closed December 31st, open the new one
[10:18] January 1st.
[10:19] >> They have finalized the location. It's
[10:22] out there by Mad. Um they're just
[10:24] working through the process now. So once
[10:28] you get off the freeway though to the
[10:30] facility, it's all paid, which is a
[10:31] bonus for us. We weren't sure if we were
[10:34] going to be going or what, but
[10:37] >> sounds like the site's going to be much
[10:39] safer, much smoother.
[10:41] >> It looks we saw some of the tended and
[10:44] it looks really good. Now that we've got
[10:47] that confirmation, our team is looking
[10:49] at hauling equipment needs. We're
[10:52] working with the on personel needs cost.
[10:55] >> So, was we going I thought we were going
[10:56] to kind of go out and see what it's
[10:58] going to cost us to contract it out
[11:00] versus what we what we can do it for.
[11:02] >> Yep. That's exactly right, Mr. Chairman.
[11:04] So, what we want to do is we want to
[11:06] bring back a little bit of report to the
[11:08] board, say this is what it would cost if
[11:10] we did it. These are some options if we
[11:12] hire it out. What makes for us.
[11:14] >> Okay.
[11:15] >> I think we'll save a lot of money if we
[11:16] use side dumpers instead of pushers.
[11:18] >> That was one of our main concerns was
[11:21] will the new facility
[11:23] um allow any type of truck,
[11:25] >> right?
[11:26] >> There won't be operations won't dictate
[11:29] which vehicles you can break,
[11:30] >> right? Yeah, it's good news.
[11:33] >> So, do we know how we should take a ride
[11:35] out there?
[11:36] >> Yeah, we should as soon as
[11:37] >> Is it built yet?
[11:38] >> No,
[11:38] >> it's not yet per right now. You drive
[11:42] out
[11:43] Right. But we'd have an idea how far
[11:45] out. Right.
[11:46] >> We have an idea now.
[11:48] >> Yeah. You can put in rolly. It'll tell
[11:49] you exactly how far.
[11:50] >> It's about 60 miles.
[11:53] >> So
[11:54] >> quite a
[11:55] >> Yeah, we've got we've got a calculation
[11:57] that it's about 60% of an operator's
[12:00] fulltime job.
[12:05] » Okay. On the office side, um we're just
[12:08] finalizing. We've got the policy on the
[12:12] agenda for discussion for the backup
[12:14] sewer backup program. And then on the
[12:17] AMI data collection, we're actually
[12:20] installing the final pole today. Y
[12:24] >> um so we'll have all of the towers set
[12:30] and so
[12:32] um that won't be a limitation on our
[12:35] data collection. So we're excited to be
[12:38] to that point.
[12:40] And then it's not on here, but we did
[12:43] get just this week approval grant money
[12:47] through division of water resources
[12:50] through their transparent billing grant.
[12:53] 26
[12:55] >> $26,000
[12:57] um that we can put towards this program.
[13:00] So that's exciting
[13:01] >> exciting news. Um, we'll bring that back
[13:05] in a future meeting on coordination
[13:08] communication.
[13:11] We have been working with the Great Salt
[13:13] Lake Commission. They're modeling the
[13:16] Great Salt Lake Basin and so we've been
[13:18] providing them information on all our
[13:20] water use patterns. So, I just want to
[13:23] make the board aware of that. They're
[13:25] trying to get a better handle on all the
[13:27] inputs and outputs, you know, of the
[13:30] Great Salt Lake. Um, I'm sure they're
[13:33] working with the legislature and the
[13:36] federal government to solve this problem
[13:39] and I think that's one of the steps.
[13:41] >> Since we jump into the surplus canal,
[13:44] then
[13:46] most of their discussion will be at
[13:47] Kent.
[13:48] >> Yeah. Yeah.
[13:51] We participated in the Fourth of July
[13:53] parade. I thought that went well. Andrew
[13:55] will talk a little bit about that. Um,
[13:57] we have worked with the city on some of
[14:00] the flyers that the city has. I think
[14:03] that's
[14:05] uh nice to partner together. The only
[14:09] thing that we would want to make sure
[14:10] the board is supportive of is, you know,
[14:13] [snorts] you could have a resident that
[14:15] we're not paying for any of the costs of
[14:17] the flyers that's been provided by the
[14:19] city. Um, you might have a resident in
[14:22] West Valley say, "Why am I getting a
[14:25] Magna Flyer?" Uh,
[14:27] >> I've had people say to me, "Why have we
[14:29] not got a Magnaflier?"
[14:31] >> Yeah, [laughter] exactly. You might have
[14:32] >> It works both ways.
[14:34] >> Exactly. I think it's a positive, but I
[14:37] just wanted to make sure, you know, the
[14:39] board was aware of that. We haven't had
[14:41] any
[14:43] >> complaints. I think generally people
[14:46] appreciate more, like you said, more
[14:48] information.
[14:49] Um the earlier summer work hour changes
[14:53] I think so far so good. Again this we
[14:57] haven't seen any increase in tardies.
[15:00] Actually a decrease it sounds like um
[15:03] through the summer. Um so that's
[15:05] positive. I don't know if the board has
[15:07] any feedback on that. Um but from staff
[15:11] side I think that's working well. It has
[15:14] been exceptionally hot. We had 199
[15:16] degree day. So, um, that does help. The
[15:22] CCR, the consumer confidence report has
[15:25] been completed and posted,
[15:27] uh, and we're, we've satisfied that
[15:30] requirement. It will go to every six
[15:32] months in the future. So, rather than
[15:35] once announced
[15:41] to make sure you're aware of that.
[15:44] >> That's my report, Mr. Chair.
[15:45] >> Thank you, Kate. Hey K, let's turn it
[15:47] over to you for engineering report.
[15:59] » So currently we're looking at
[16:03] projects 800
[16:05] projects
[16:10] the same.
[16:13] We have a big thing going on down there
[16:17] station building start up nearly
[16:20] actually start
[16:26] testing with the screw pumps that went
[16:28] well I understand
[16:31] um we're going to continue setting
[16:33] mantors
[16:42] all
[16:42] As you saw foot
[16:47] as of July 9th
[16:51] has been completed and EPA is current.
[17:04] They're going to start by relocation at
[17:06] the end of July.
[17:08] After that, I guess it'll take about two
[17:10] weeks to
[17:13] Um after that we're going to start
[17:16] along
[17:18] at the end of July beginning August or
[17:21] more so beginning to middle August
[17:28] three project working towards%
[17:32] middle
[17:35] copper
[17:36] working towards that I You got
[17:41] designed
[17:46] operations and change finally
[17:58] working on
[18:01] fill up that
[18:03] and so it might not be total weight
[18:09] early August, late July, early August.
[18:19] » Yeah, we're we're wanting that done
[18:21] fast.
[18:22] >> Oh, yeah.
[18:23] >> I said we're want the city's wanting
[18:24] that done fast.
[18:25] >> City's choing at the bit. Yeah, they're
[18:28] almost
[18:37] 11 replacement about 70%
[18:43] primarily working on 850 West and 8900
[18:47] West
[18:50] and also on that Tempest is no longer
[18:53] Tempest now
[18:56] get
[19:00] Um
[19:02] design
[19:08] you guys know how that's going
[19:12] on analysis.
[19:15] I think they are scheduled to do that
[19:19] December December
[19:25] office
[19:28] design.
[19:40] » Any question from the board?
[19:43] >> Okay. Thank you.
[19:45] >> Okay, let's move on to water, Steve.
[19:49] >> All right. Thank you, board chair. Um,
[19:51] culinary water production for the month
[19:53] of June, 217.45
[19:56] million gallons or 667.39.
[20:01] That's a 11.3 11.36%
[20:05] decrease from 2025. Our year-to- date
[20:09] production for June is 84.58
[20:12] million or 2500.04
[20:16] acre feet. That's a 2.4% decrease from
[20:20] 2025.
[20:22] So far year to date, um we purchased
[20:25] 404.40
[20:27] acre feet from Jordan Valley Water.
[20:30] The secondary water production for the
[20:32] month of June was 82.57
[20:35] million gallons or 253.41
[20:39] acre feet. That's a 9.24%
[20:43] decrease from 2025.
[20:45] Year today
[20:47] was 154.25
[20:49] million gallons or 473.4
[20:53] ac. That's a 9.59%
[20:57] decrease from.
[21:00] So going off these numbers, I think you
[21:02] can see that the community is really
[21:03] helping us out with our conservation
[21:05] campaign, which is nice.
[21:07] >> Even as hot as it is, it's coming out
[21:09] big time.
[21:10] >> But we've noticed a lot of people are
[21:12] letting their lawns just dry out.
[21:14] They're just not even They're just
[21:16] cutting the dead weeds.
[21:18] >> So I don't know if they're
[21:20] >> Yeah, that's not great either.
[21:22] >> Yeah.
[21:22] >> Well, a lot of people
[21:24] heard the thing from Jordan Valley. So
[21:27] they assumed that we were under the same
[21:29] thing. So they thought, well, we won't
[21:32] water. Then their lawns started to die
[21:34] and they thought, well, just mow the
[21:36] weeds once uh maybe twice a year.
[21:40] >> Yeah.
[21:42] >> I don't know how we get them back on. I
[21:44] don't know.
[21:47] Um, as far as the call outs go, we had a
[21:51] total of 34. 23 of them were water, 11
[21:54] wire for a total of 102 hours, 69 water.
[22:02] We had one mainline week, two service
[22:05] line weeks, and then 31 miscellaneous
[22:08] calls.
[22:10] One of the the mainline leak I kind of
[22:13] wanted to
[22:15] um give the guys a little bit of credit
[22:17] was this big one right here on 8800 and
[22:20] 35th that we had that was quite a quite
[22:23] a leak. We had a lot of water and they
[22:26] actually did a good job shut off quick.
[22:28] >> What caused it?
[22:29] >> Um just pipes
[22:32] >> pipes were rotted or
[22:33] >> joint
[22:35] it had a twoft crack in it but also had
[22:39] a hole blown out of the middle of the
[22:41] crack. So, we were losing a lot of
[22:43] water.
[22:43] >> That's cast iron pipe or plastic.
[22:46] >> That one's cast.
[22:49] >> Wow.
[22:51] >> Yeah. No, I just wanted to
[22:53] >> Good thing Good thing the storm drains
[22:54] worked.
[22:55] >> Yeah, that's what I was telling Clint.
[22:58] >> Well, [clears throat] kids, I guess on
[23:00] 8800 there's so much water going down
[23:02] the road that they were kayaking in the
[23:04] gutter.
[23:05] >> Oh my goodness. But guys got it shut
[23:08] down pretty quick. So
[23:10] >> they done a good job. Todd and and Ardan
[23:13] said what a good job they done down
[23:14] there and how nice the guys were and
[23:16] everything. They were real impressed.
[23:18] They said
[23:19] >> thank you.
[23:20] >> And to please Ardan is a hard job.
[23:23] [laughter]
[23:23] You know that.
[23:25] >> But that's my report unless you have any
[23:27] other questions.
[23:28] >> That's great.
[23:28] >> Any questions?
[23:29] >> Nope.
[23:30] >> Thank you. Okay. Dallas.
[23:31] >> Yes sir. Mr. Chairman, I just want to
[23:34] operations report. There's just a couple
[23:36] treats to highlight. Um during June the
[23:39] treatment plant 58 million gallon breeze
[23:42] water pumped up to the system. Um the
[23:45] coordination with the water to try to
[23:48] maintain water quality at the
[23:49] reservoirs. A little more information on
[23:52] that. The balance we're trying to find
[23:53] is keeping a good chlorine residual at
[23:56] the reservoir without adding too high of
[23:59] a chlorine residual at the first
[24:00] customers. So, we're playing with
[24:03] different dosing rates and different
[24:04] kinds of dosing for that. Um, but it's
[24:07] been a collaborative effort and I think
[24:08] we're narrow in the meeting. So, we're
[24:10] in a pretty good place.
[24:12] Um,
[24:14] the plant's in really good shape.
[24:16] Everything with everything remained
[24:18] within the permit throughout June.
[24:20] Routine sampling continued to reflect a
[24:22] pretty stable process with no compliance
[24:25] issues observed. Um, if we can go to the
[24:29] next thing, Mr. Chair, I want to just
[24:31] give a summary of the wastewater
[24:33] collection system maintenance and the
[24:36] SLA assessment that was just done. The
[24:39] first slide here is just a quick
[24:40] reminder. So for this assessment
[24:43] summary, we're just highlighting that we
[24:45] use the CCTV equipment that's there on
[24:48] the left. Obviously the Raptor picture
[24:50] top right. And then maybe a little less
[24:52] familiar is the SL rack. It's a sewer
[24:54] line rapid assessment tool. It's two
[24:57] pieces of equipment, a transmitter and a
[24:59] receiver that sends an acoustic signal
[25:01] through the mainline. And any
[25:03] obstruction that obstructs that acoustic
[25:06] signal will come back and you go from
[25:09] manifold to manhole. And at the end of
[25:12] the assessment, it provides a grade for
[25:14] each each portion of the pipe that's
[25:17] assessed.
[25:19] >> Now, if the pipe is settled,
[25:22] does it tell you exactly where that is?
[25:24] Will this tell you exactly? It just
[25:26] tells you there is an obstruction.
[25:28] >> Yeah.
[25:29] >> But it could be a settled pipe, right?
[25:31] >> Exactly. So for a belly in a pipe where
[25:33] the pipe's holding water, that will
[25:35] register as an obstruction, but it won't
[25:38] give us a distance within the run.
[25:39] >> But then you can send the camera down.
[25:42] >> So just an overview. So we've been doing
[25:45] this for over 10 years now. Um
[25:48] historically 70 to 90% of our system
[25:51] comes back with a good healthy grade.
[25:54] There's 10 to 30% that require some
[25:57] additional cleaning then 10% will
[26:00] require some additional investigation
[26:02] with the CCTV equipment and then less
[26:04] than 1% of our system right now require
[26:07] some engineering study and that could be
[26:10] um a line with a significant belly could
[26:13] be a line that's got some cracks
[26:15] things like that. So
[26:18] next, so just a 30,000 foot view.
[26:23] This is just the area of operations.
[26:26] This is everything that we've assessed
[26:29] throughout the entirety of our
[26:32] partnership with SLA. Everything in
[26:34] orange is stuff that we've done.
[26:37] Everything that's green, yellow, or red
[26:39] in that main fur
[26:42] is stuff that we've assessed again this
[26:44] year. So after a years of assessing the
[26:47] west side of town. We know that there's
[26:50] a lot of roots there. We know that
[26:52] there's a lot of drop manholes there.
[26:54] Anything north of 35th and west of
[26:58] 8,400, that's more of a area that we
[27:01] know historically requires routine
[27:03] maintenance. So, we don't assess that
[27:05] acoustically anymore. That just gets hit
[27:08] every year with a vac flush truck and
[27:10] gets inspected every year with CCTV. On
[27:13] the right, north quadrant of town,
[27:15] that's
[27:16] more industrial areas or the trunk
[27:18] lines. Those trunk lines have so much
[27:20] flow that it interferes with the
[27:22] acoustics. So we use the acoustic
[27:25] assessment initially to map all the
[27:27] lines and that way we can get input into
[27:29] our database but we don't assess every pipe every year. Um we focus most
[27:36] of our time between 8,000 and 72 and
[27:39] then from 41 down to 2100. So, next,
[27:44] >> uh, Dallas, you were talking about
[27:46] possibly
[27:47] something that measures the flow in the
[27:49] pipe. Did we ever look into that? I
[27:52] thought it was like $8,000 to where the
[27:55] machine measures water going into this
[27:58] manhole, water passing this manhole, and
[28:00] you could tell by the flow. Essentially,
[28:03] that's you're you're right. That's
[28:05] essentially what we were looking at. The
[28:08] equipment, to your point, was really
[28:10] expensive. Um, and then it didn't give
[28:12] you a a true gallons per minute or
[28:15] gallons per day flow rate. What it did
[28:17] was it measured the flow in the pipe.
[28:20] So, if a 12in pipe is running 8 in deep,
[28:24] it can extrapolate a flow rate based on
[28:26] that depth. Um, and we were trying to
[28:29] decide at that point, you know, how much
[28:31] of our flow was coming from the west
[28:33] side of town, how much of the flow is
[28:35] coming from the east side of town. that
[28:36] was the attack equipment to try to
[28:38] better understand where flows are coming
[28:40] from. Um, since then we did do a we did
[28:44] do a three month demo with that
[28:46] equipment to try to better understand
[28:48] some of the stuff. Um, with the new infl
[28:50] pump station that's going on plant, now
[28:53] we've got individualized flow meters for
[28:56] the trunk line that's coming from the
[28:57] west side of town and the trunk plant
[28:59] that's coming from the east side of
[29:00] town. So now we know exactly what flows
[29:03] are coming from which parts of town. So
[29:05] maybe it's a little premature because
[29:06] once we put the 8,000 west under 2011,
[29:11] that should really help a lot, right?
[29:13] For the load.
[29:14] >> Yeah, it should. And that was kind of
[29:16] the intent behind some of these capital
[29:18] building projects. So
[29:20] what
[29:21] >> we just didn't know we'd hit a fiber
[29:23] lot.
[29:24] >> Right. Right. What we're showing here,
[29:26] Mr. Chairman and board, is exactly what
[29:28] was assessed this year. Um the
[29:30] assessment just completed. So neat thing
[29:33] for me is they create this dashboard.
[29:35] And you can see it's pretty intuitive.
[29:37] If the line comes back green, that means
[29:40] it's good. If the line comes back
[29:42] yellow, that means it's about medium.
[29:44] And then if the line comes back red,
[29:46] then we can we can alert and we send the
[29:49] crews out right away to investigate. So
[29:52] if you think about the color system on a
[29:54] scale of 1 to 10, you know, 7 to 10 will
[29:57] come back green. Anything from about 5
[30:00] to seven would be yellow. and anything
[30:02] less than five would come back red. Four
[30:04] or five would come back red.
[30:06] [clears throat] That's kind of how we
[30:07] target our targeted cleaning. Next,
[30:12] then at the end of the assessment, I get
[30:15] onto the dashboard and I can filter the
[30:18] results of every assessment and I
[30:21] immediately go to anything that came
[30:22] back at four or less. And those red
[30:25] lines you see on the map now are
[30:27] sections of the pipes that came back
[30:29] four or less. And so we send the guys
[30:32] out and we hit all these things, we
[30:34] would just consider those the required
[30:36] maintenance or the hot spots from the
[30:37] assessment. Um so that's a neat tool,
[30:40] right? Typically when we're when we're
[30:43] starting the flushing of the system,
[30:44] we'll start here at the office 9200 or
[30:47] 35th and we just work our way north and
[30:50] east. Um with this equipment and this
[30:52] technology, we're able to really target
[30:54] our flushing to the areas that um
[30:58] require the immediate service, right? It
[31:00] takes us about 12 to 15 months to get
[31:02] all the way through the system. With
[31:04] this technology that we've implemented,
[31:06] if we're on the other side of 72 or on
[31:09] the west side of 8,400, we might not get
[31:12] to these red sections for 6 to 8 months.
[31:15] So, this gives us an opportunity to
[31:18] address any issues right away. The
[31:20] assessment takes about two weeks and
[31:22] then we get a overview of the entire
[31:24] system. So,
[31:25] >> what would be the major part of the
[31:26] reds? Would they be defective pipe?
[31:31] It could it could be the bellies. It
[31:32] could be the roots. It could be a little
[31:34] bit of TP and rag build up in some of
[31:36] the manholes. It could be a drop
[31:38] manhole. We tried to isolate anything
[31:40] that would cause an audible interference
[31:42] with the acoustics and not assess those.
[31:45] Um sometimes based on the mapping,
[31:47] nothing's perfect. You might put um the
[31:51] transmitter into a dead end manhole. So
[31:53] it's shooting it's it's shooting to a
[31:55] run that's not there. So it could come
[31:57] back with a red. Um, and that's part of
[32:00] the process. We try to eliminate any of
[32:01] those options. Um, and really try to
[32:04] battle in this map. So,
[32:05] >> do we need to send out any letters about
[32:08] what they can and can't put down the
[32:10] sewer?
[32:11] >> Because
[32:12] >> we we have we certainly can. Again,
[32:15] >> you said wipes are flushable, but
[32:17] >> they cause pipe buildup.
[32:19] >> Yeah.
[32:20] >> As the police department found out on
[32:22] Main Street.
[32:23] >> Yeah.
[32:25] Clint's point, we send out quite a bit
[32:27] of messaging. There's no flushable
[32:30] wipes. [snorts]
[32:31] They're just all hazard. They're just
[32:33] all liability. So, um, last slide here
[32:37] is just the summary. So,
[32:40] um, you can see there the barraph
[32:43] represents what parts of the system came
[32:45] back
[32:46] green, yellow, and red. So we assessed
[32:49] in 2026 250,166
[32:53] linear feet of sewer pipe of the
[32:57] assessed footage only 38,750
[33:01] came back as required immediate
[33:03] attention. And then if you break that
[33:05] down into a dollar per dollar per line
[33:09] of foot if we were to assess or if we
[33:12] were to maintain the entirety of that
[33:14] 250,000 ft based on man power and water
[33:18] usage be about $125,000.
[33:21] The targeted maintenance of the 38,000
[33:23] ft that's an estimate to only cost
[33:26] 25,000.
[33:28] So quite a bit of savings there, but it
[33:30] also gives us the peace of mind that
[33:32] we're we're getting the snapshot of the
[33:34] entirety of the system rather than
[33:36] having to work through it over a
[33:38] calendar year.
[33:40] And then on the last page, we've got a
[33:42] couple new faces. Oh, excuse me. Um I
[33:46] just wanted to put this together. This
[33:48] is just a historical summary table. It
[33:50] shows [clears throat] each year since
[33:53] 2021 when I took over how much feet
[33:58] we've assessed and then how much has
[33:59] been identified for cleaning. You can
[34:01] see it fluctuates. Um we used to assess
[34:04] a lot more. Part of that is the new
[34:06] developments. We get them off mapping
[34:08] through these assessments. Um some some
[34:12] part of that was the learning curve.
[34:14] Hey, we don't need to assess 8400 on the
[34:16] west side of all groups. We just know
[34:18] that requires significant maintenance.
[34:22] And then that center it just says each
[34:24] annual assessment how much was
[34:26] identified for cleaning and then the
[34:28] percentage of the system that required
[34:30] cleaning on that far right. If you're
[34:32] looking at the data table 2025 was a bit
[34:36] of an outlier. Um there was some
[34:38] equipment issues and
[34:41] the contractor had some issues. We ended
[34:43] up meeting in the middle on a discounted
[34:46] price. That's a little bit of an
[34:48] outlier.
[34:49] 2026 you can see
[34:51] back to a good trajectory. So
[34:55] the observations just since we've been
[34:58] doing this almost 2 million feet linear
[35:01] feet of sew has been assessed. Um
[35:06] 2026 assessment identify less needs in
[35:09] the 2025 indicating good improvement
[35:11] year over year and then the long-term
[35:14] assessment data continues to validate
[35:16] our targeted data driven maintenance
[35:18] strategy allowing maintenance resources
[35:20] to be focused where they provide the
[35:22] greatest benefit while improving overall
[35:24] efficiency of the collection system.
[35:28] And the last thing I would add Mr.
[35:30] We've got a couple new faces on the
[35:32] collections crew. So, I just wanted to
[35:34] recognize those guys. This is the 2026
[35:37] National Water District wastewater
[35:39] collection system.
[35:40] >> They all got door classes. I need to see
[35:42] [laughter]
[35:45] » you should have the updated list.
[35:47] >> Yeah,
[35:48] >> you got the updated list.
[35:49] >> I think I did.
[35:50] >> I think so.
[35:51] >> Yeah. And I can call him out. Just
[35:53] starting on the right is our is our
[35:54] newest guy, Cameron Peterson. And we've
[35:57] got Mark Maziner. He's about two or guy
[36:00] along with Clint in the middle he's a
[36:02] two or three year guy and then Clint
[36:05] supervisor you guys all
[36:08] he's a fiveyear guy last
[36:13] » and that's all I got for
[36:16] >> thank you
[36:23] » okay let's moving on lay your report
[36:26] >> thank you Mr. chair and board. Um so
[36:29] just a check up on our compliance
[36:32] requirements. Um after the board meeting
[36:34] last month after the uh audit report was
[36:37] approved, we filed with the state
[36:39] auditor's [cough] office. So that was
[36:41] submitted and the certification was
[36:43] submitted. We haven't heard back. So I'm
[36:44] assuming there's no problems. Um coming
[36:48] up, oh first of all, I guess blue is
[36:50] completed and yellow is coming up. uh
[36:54] quarterly budget to actual reports will
[36:56] be provided to the board of trustees for
[36:59] second quarter next month.
[37:01] Um
[37:03] the
[37:05] transparency website, the second quarter
[37:07] is due July 31st. So we're working on
[37:09] that [clears throat] now. There's a
[37:11] semianual report to the state money
[37:13] management council that's due at by the
[37:15] end of this month that was filed this
[37:17] morning.
[37:19] Um and then the quarter payroll reports
[37:21] are due at the end of this month also.
[37:23] We're working on those. Now, the as
[37:27] Clint indicated in the manager's report,
[37:29] the CCR report has [laughter] been
[37:31] submitted and sent out to the residents
[37:35] or customers.
[37:37] Uh, Hansen Loose is working on our risk
[37:40] management plan. Is that right? I think
[37:42] that's right. Okay. Sorry. [laughter]
[37:44] And then the water conservation plan.
[37:46] Um, Tai's been working on that. He
[37:49] submitted a draft to the state on the
[37:52] 15th and then I believe that the final
[37:55] draft has to be to them by December
[37:57] 31st.
[37:59] >> Great.
[38:00] Um and that's as Tai indicated also that
[38:05] um Bowen Collins is working on our rate
[38:08] structures. So and that is all I have to
[38:11] report unless you have any questions.
[38:13] >> Any question?
[38:14] >> No.
[38:16] >> Okay. Thank you Leah.
[38:17] >> Thank you. Let's move on to our HR
[38:19] report.
[38:19] >> Thank you, board chair. Uh, as Clint
[38:22] indicated, we are currently still fully
[38:25] staffed.
[38:27] Uh, some of the trainings that we were
[38:29] able to accomplish this last month is we
[38:32] had a Cassell work order training. Le
[38:34] presented to all the employees. Um,
[38:37] a new process in doing work orders for
[38:42] maintenance facilities.
[38:45] Um, we did a chlorine training tour at
[38:48] Thatcher Chemical with all of the people
[38:51] that come in contact with chlorine. I
[38:53] thought it was uh well put together by
[38:55] Thatcher and it went well. Um, we did a
[38:59] excavation safety and trenching training
[39:02] on the 24th that uh Chris Tai Jean
[39:07] Dawson, Mark and Quinn attended. We did
[39:09] an on-site confined space training. had
[39:11] a company come in uh show us some of
[39:14] their stuff. Went over our gas monitors
[39:17] and also did some confined space
[39:19] training. Um upcoming we've got our
[39:21] cyber security training this month.
[39:23] That's a required training. Um we've got
[39:26] some of our new employees getting their
[39:28] flagger certification at the end of the
[39:29] month and we are getting geared up for
[39:31] some of our more senior employees to do
[39:33] their traffic control supervisor. This
[39:35] month we're focusing on hand and power
[39:38] tools as our safety focus. Uh and then
[39:42] conferences that are coming up just so
[39:43] the board are aware of them. Um one
[39:46] we've got AW conference coming up in
[39:48] September in Logan. Um as of right now
[39:52] we don't have anybody to put forward to
[39:55] say that they're wanting to go but we'll
[39:56] come with that probably next month if
[39:58] there are some. Um the UASD annual
[40:01] convention that the board attends is
[40:03] coming up sooner than we think. November
[40:07] 4th through the 6th. I believe you guys
[40:09] would be attending on the 5th. Um that's
[40:12] in Leighton. And then that same week is
[40:14] the WEAU
[40:17] uh midyear conference here locally at
[40:19] West Valley.
[40:20] >> Where will that be in West Valley?
[40:22] >> It's at the cultural center.
[40:23] >> Oh, okay.
[40:25] >> Um usually Dallas and Bo attend that. Uh
[40:29] and then the Fourth of July parade, I
[40:32] that that was that went really well.
[40:33] From all reports, it's the best parade
[40:35] that everybody's ever been a part of
[40:38] there. um was bigger than ever, went
[40:41] smooth. Um we're really happy with the
[40:45] uh relationship that we've got with the
[40:48] city on that. And we've got some
[40:49] pictures here from from the parade. Uh
[40:52] we had Ty and uh Cameron walking and we
[40:57] also had Gavin Henshaw there helping out
[40:59] with driving the truck. Um, we, this was
[41:02] the banner that we put together, uh,
[41:06] trying to remind everybody to conserve.
[41:09] So, it says, "Securing tomorrow's water
[41:12] today, conserve, diversify, and reuse."
[41:15] Um,
[41:17] I think it was a overall good
[41:19] experience. So, that's it for me,
[41:21] chairman.
[41:21] >> And we as a city and me as the mayor, I
[41:23] want to thank you guys for participating
[41:25] [clears throat]
[41:25] and being involved. Next time, bring
[41:27] more candy. [laughter]
[41:29] I think
[41:30] >> we went we went through we we on the
[41:33] float went through 13 boxes.
[41:36] >> So, we've upped the candy each year. I
[41:38] think the first year that I did it, we
[41:39] bought eight bags. We went to 10. This
[41:42] year we did 12 and
[41:46] I think with how you're growing that
[41:48] parade,
[41:49] >> maybe that's what it is. We just can't
[41:50] get ahead.
[41:51] >> We can't get ahead of it. We had
[41:53] >> Stop telling people to come. [laughter]
[41:55] >> We had probably 10 to 11,000 people
[41:57] there.
[41:58] >> Wow. And um we had 85 entries. We had um
[42:03] seven seven floats. I sit on a I sit on
[42:07] a group with all the mayors.
[42:09] >> Mhm.
[42:09] >> And so we kind of share things about our city. And I I
[42:15] started this deal about, hey, you bring
[42:16] your float to ours. Prayed we'll take
[42:19] our float to yours. And so it all worked
[42:21] out good. Um next year we'll have West
[42:23] Jordan and uh Riverton coming to ours.
[42:27] And uh
[42:28] >> we've got a big one on next Friday.
[42:31] Nathan, are you riding on the float
[42:33] >> for the 24th?
[42:35] >> No. Where's that? [laughter]
[42:37] >> Downtown the days of 47.
[42:39] >> I'm going to be in that.
[42:40] >> I'm I'm debating just to send the float
[42:42] down.
[42:44] >> I'm going to be at 10.
[42:45] >> I know.
[42:46] >> But yeah, it was awesome.
[42:48] >> Thank you guys. And it went really well.
[42:51] And like I said, they said that's the
[42:52] best float in 40 years.
[42:54] >> Nice. I I've heard nothing but shining
[42:58] responses about it.
[42:59] >> So, it's nice to hear positive and
[43:02] >> isn't it? [laughter]
[43:03] >> So, but yeah, thank you you guys.
[43:08] » That's all you have.
[43:09] >> That's all I have. Thank you.
[43:10] >> Okay, let's move on to water sewer
[43:12] availability. Ty, I'm going let you take
[43:15] the lead.
[43:16] >> Thank you, chairman of the board.
[43:19] So, today we have two developments we
[43:21] discussed. Um they're wanting approval
[43:24] for
[43:28] First we'll start off with PC.
[43:31] Now this one
[43:41] is located at 244
[43:44] and Caroline Drive city.
[43:47] Uh it takes up two lots along there and
[43:50] I can show you on GIS.
[43:53] Right
[43:56] here.
[44:00] » What west is that? Dy,
[44:02] >> what is that?
[44:04] >> West
[44:06] got to be 5700.
[44:08] >> Just right off 2011.
[44:10] >> Right.
[44:10] behind the building.
[44:14] >> Oh, okay.
[44:18] » All these different names
[44:21] right here. I thought it was a swamp.
[44:24] >> With that,
[44:27] we determined that there's something
[44:29] here that can supply that water. We have
[44:31] a 16in water line along Caroline, which
[44:35] is just east of the development.
[44:38] We also have a 12in main located
[44:43] just,
[44:47] it doesn't show on the JS, but we do
[44:49] have a 12 in secondary one that's
[44:55] So they won't need to install that time.
[44:58] So with our recommendation, we recommend
[45:00] that they connect to the existing 16in
[45:03] line there
[45:09] and they provide and service to the
[45:13] current.
[45:17] » What will that what will that area be
[45:18] used for? Um, so I don't know. There's
[45:22] going to be two buildings built. Um, PC
[45:25] Holdings and WB7
[45:30] those are two companies.
[45:31] >> How much water usage will they have?
[45:34] >> It won't have an extraordinary amount.
[45:37] >> Maybe just bathrooms and warehouse.
[45:40] >> Yeah.
[45:43] » Okay.
[45:47] And after analyzing that with firefl
[45:58] what we see happen a lot with these over
[46:00] there is they have just the the building
[46:04] box. They don't tell us a lot of times
[46:06] what the final use will be on this step
[46:10] unless it's obviously a high water user.
[46:13] We
[46:13] >> Yeah, like a bottling company or
[46:15] something like that.
[46:15] >> But but what we do see is we get another
[46:18] step of approval when they come and the
[46:21] tenant improvement comes in. They have
[46:24] to contact us again to get another
[46:26] approval.
[46:26] >> So they're not applying here. They just
[46:29] want water sewer availability. But when
[46:31] do they determine how big of a meter
[46:33] they need and stuff?
[46:34] >> Um, they do do that.
[46:36] >> Yeah, they we'll work through that with
[46:38] them. So that's how one of the reasons
[46:41] we get an indication is size of services
[46:44] that they need.
[46:52] » Okay. Well, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to
[46:55] make a motion to approve uh water and
[46:57] solid sewer availability to PC Holdings
[47:01] WV-7
[47:06] on Anakarine Drive, West LA City.
[47:09] >> I'll second that.
[47:10] >> Motion second. All in favor? I
[47:12] >> I
[47:13] >> Okay, Ty.
[47:25] So this one is located on
[47:29] 279 south.
[47:34] » Yeah.
[47:38] » It's right behind all a dollar. Right.
[47:41] >> Sorry.
[47:42] >> All right behind all a dollar.
[47:44] >> On 84.
[47:45] >> Mhm. Okay.
[47:46] >> So it's just this lot right here. 2790.
[47:50] Finally, they're going to get rid of the
[47:52] weeds.
[47:53] >> Yeah, no kidding.
[47:54] >> Next to Duck
[47:55] >> Quickquack.
[47:58] >> Well, so from what we determined, we
[48:01] found that there are existing services
[48:05] in that property.
[48:07] >> There will be two buildings though. For
[48:09] the water, we have a 1 in service that's
[48:12] located in the southwest corner. If you
[48:14] look right here, that's where we have
[48:17] that.
[48:19] that's uninstalled and everything, but
[48:21] it's not tied in. So, they would have to
[48:23] go in and tie that line through one of
[48:25] the buildings.
[48:27] Um, and then with the other building, we
[48:30] recommend that they have to attach along
[48:33] the 8 in line.
[48:37] Um with sewer there is a gated chain
[48:41] that's currently going through the
[48:42] building on it west side there. Um with
[48:47] that there is also a 4 in cap off um
[48:52] sewer there that was placed there
[48:57] that would have to be located. I believe
[48:59] it is by the southwest as well on the
[49:03] property.
[49:07] use that for the building, but we would
[49:09] also recommend them also attaching
[49:11] service lateral into the building as
[49:15] well.
[49:18] For the second water, there is an
[49:21] secondary water line that goes along
[49:26] and so they just have to tie in there
[49:29] also is an existing service there.
[49:35] Now, Ty, that on the west side, they're
[49:37] showing a green line there. Is that in
[49:39] an easement right away?
[49:41] >> Yes.
[49:41] >> In the property.
[49:44] >> Okay.
[49:47] » And that show you guys
[49:55] and yeah, it would just be one lot, two
[49:57] buildings
[50:01] of it. and they're seeking approval for
[50:04] those items.
[50:05] >> Okay. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a
[50:07] motion to uh approve water and sewer
[50:10] availability to the back plaza 2 located
[50:13] at 2790 South 8400 West.
[50:16] >> I'll second that.
[50:17] >> It's been a motion and second. All in
[50:18] favor?
[50:19] >> I
[50:21] Okay, let's move on to the project
[50:24] awards and agreements. Um Clint,
[50:28] >> thanks, Mr. Chairman. I'm going to take
[50:30] these first two for Trevor. Um, we've
[50:33] been working with Bone Collins on that
[50:36] master planning, impact fee, and rate
[50:38] study. If you'll remember, we've
[50:40] completed the master planning and the
[50:41] impact fee portion. They've made
[50:43] substantial progress on the rate study,
[50:46] but we've got a task hit order here for
[50:49] an amendment because we did have some
[50:53] legislation come through that with
[50:56] regards to rate structures including
[50:59] analyzing a conservationbased tier
[51:02] um that's reflected in this amendment.
[51:05] And then we also have asked them to do
[51:08] some more rate modeling
[51:10] >> and give us some more impact on how
[51:15] different rate options would impact the
[51:18] community because
[51:21] each way we approach rates has a varied
[51:25] impact. Some people benefit
[51:28] and some people lose when you change
[51:31] rate tiers. Right.
[51:33] >> I've had some complaint about that.
[51:34] Yeah,
[51:35] >> but I told them if you're trying to
[51:37] conserve,
[51:38] >> you know, you need to check your water
[51:40] usage. It's not the water company's
[51:42] fault,
[51:43] >> right?
[51:43] >> You're you've gone to another tier. You
[51:45] need to look at that and see if there's
[51:46] any way you can drop back down,
[51:48] >> right? And so the the challenge is is we
[51:51] want to be able to serve the people that
[51:55] use a like a low amount of water.
[51:59] Right now, they've got to pay that
[52:01] minimum, right? 6,000.
[52:04] We would like to see if we can remove
[52:06] that minimum so that they can pay less
[52:08] water.
[52:10] >> But if we do that, that benefits them.
[52:13] But then it has to put the burden of all
[52:15] that on others,
[52:17] >> higher usage.
[52:18] >> And so what we are trying to do is
[52:20] understand how that would all work out
[52:22] with different scenarios so that we can
[52:23] then come to the board at that point and
[52:26] say, "Okay, we've looked at these
[52:28] scenarios. What would the board like to
[52:30] see? here's our recommendation and that
[52:33] type. So, we'd like to be able to do a
[52:36] little bit more of that modeling than we
[52:39] have normally historically done because
[52:42] this is the direction it's heading at a
[52:44] lot of districts. It's getting more
[52:48] geared towards the tiers are tightening.
[52:52] There's getting more tiers.
[52:55] We're they're trying to get the cost of
[52:57] water dialed down as best they can for
[52:59] everybody, but ultimately I think the
[53:03] more you use, the more you're going to
[53:05] pay, you know.
[53:06] >> Well, I think if we could get the city
[53:08] to code enforcement to jump on these
[53:11] people that not watering at all.
[53:12] >> And if we do the thing to minimize that,
[53:15] Yeah.
[53:15] >> I I think that will help.
[53:18] >> So, Nathan, I got a question with you on
[53:19] that. Um,
[53:22] can we as a city make them water?
[53:25] So, there have been Yeah, I mean, you
[53:28] have to maintain your your yard,
[53:30] >> right? Right.
[53:30] >> And I think we already have provisions
[53:32] that that require that. It sounds like
[53:34] there was some confusion with
[53:36] >> because for instance, I've just go off
[53:38] of the slow flow watering guide, which I
[53:41] think now is like two or three waterings
[53:43] per week depending on your on the type
[53:46] of landscaping you have. So, I think we
[53:49] can I I if we don't already have it in
[53:51] there, we can. Um, so yeah, that's, you
[53:55] know, maintaining your lawn, making sure
[53:56] you don't have weeds that grow, that
[53:58] sort of thing. But I know that there has
[53:59] been some legislation recently where the
[54:01] what the legislature has said is there
[54:03] used to be cities that would prohibit
[54:04] like zeroscaping and water-wise
[54:07] landscaping. And so the legislature
[54:09] said, "No, you have to allow people to
[54:11] put in water-wise landscaping." And so,
[54:14] but the the challenge is some people
[54:16] will say, "Well, this is water wise."
[54:17] >> Yeah. [laughter]
[54:19] >> It's not that don't fly.
[54:20] >> Um,
[54:21] >> so I think we already have provisions in
[54:23] there already.
[54:24] >> Right. Right. But
[54:25] >> I think so, too. I don't think you're
[54:26] allowed to have weeds. It has,
[54:28] >> but I think what people are confused on
[54:29] is like,
[54:32] >> you know, how many days a week? I mean,
[54:34] they've asked me and I've told them two
[54:36] to three days,
[54:37] >> I think. So,
[54:38] >> Danny's said seven days a week, but
[54:42] yeah. Well, that's but two or three two
[54:45] even two is better than zero or
[54:47] something.
[54:49] I think
[54:50] >> I will say that when you're in over 100
[54:52] degrees to to two days a week is pushing
[54:54] the limits, you know, right?
[54:56] >> Yeah. If that goes on very long,
[54:58] >> it's
[54:59] >> you can handle it for a week. But if
[55:01] that prolongs at those high
[55:03] temperatures, you're you can't get by
[55:05] with two days.
[55:05] >> Nope, you can't.
[55:06] >> Well, if if if we can reduce that rate
[55:08] on the low end, I think people will try
[55:11] to do that. One of the things too, it
[55:13] becomes a fire issue because they let
[55:15] the weeds, they let the grass all dry
[55:16] out and goes brown. Yeah.
[55:17] >> Starts fires.
[55:19] >> Well, the the problem is if we hold them
[55:21] to task, some people don't even bother
[55:23] to see that they're wasting water,
[55:26] >> you know? And if they they water at
[55:28] night when it's cooler, they don't waste
[55:30] water,
[55:30] >> right?
[55:31] >> Or early in the morning. And I think and they check and make sure the
[55:37] system's working and not just spraying
[55:39] >> go a little deeper. You know,
[55:41] >> I've talked to a lot of people just
[55:42] checking their wa their toilet tank, see
[55:44] if it's running over and nine times out
[55:47] of ten that's the problem.
[55:49] >> Yeah.
[55:49] I mean, there's a a lot of this is
[55:51] really dealt with through education,
[55:53] right? And and so and part of it is this
[55:57] is I think there might be some confusion
[55:59] about what they're hearing from other
[56:00] water providers. I mean, most people
[56:02] don't even necessarily know where they
[56:03] are.
[56:04] >> It's a challenging time.
[56:05] >> Yeah. Yeah. And so I think my
[56:08] recommendation would be you might might
[56:10] want to either work with the city or do
[56:12] some ed outreach on your own to educate
[56:15] people about
[56:15] >> thinking about that. Maybe we need to do
[56:17] an education.
[56:18] >> Yeah. Because it's
[56:19] >> with the city and the water district.
[56:20] >> I I will say this. I mean code
[56:23] enforcement and mayor you and I it's a
[56:25] lose-lose. Wherever you set the needle
[56:27] on code enforcement, somebody's going to
[56:28] be happy. If if you go on the full bore
[56:31] enforcement, people are going to be mad.
[56:32] If you don't enforce enough, people are
[56:34] going to be mad. So, what's usually more
[56:36] effective and quicker is educating
[56:39] people because most people that are in a
[56:41] code enforcement situation, there's a
[56:43] reason why and it's not usually
[56:44] something you can easily fix. Um, but
[56:47] most people it's just, oh, I just need
[56:48] to have information. You know, I don't
[56:50] think most people know when to water. I
[56:52] don't think that they're paying
[56:53] attention. Most people, they just want
[56:54] to set it and forget it. And and the
[56:56] problem with a situation like we have
[56:58] now, it's really dry year, hot
[57:00] temperatures. You know, I check that,
[57:02] you know, slow the flow guide every week
[57:05] to see where I need to set it. Um, so I
[57:09] think you'll get more bang for your buck
[57:10] education wise in terms of getting
[57:12] people to do what you want than you will
[57:14] by code enforcement. Not to say that you
[57:17] shouldn't do code enforcement, but code
[57:19] enforcement is a legal process. There's
[57:20] due process, you know, there's there's
[57:22] [clears throat] people have to have a
[57:25] certain amount of notice. Incidentally,
[57:26] it's not 30 days in the code. I don't
[57:28] know who told you that.
[57:29] >> It's 15. It's always been that way. Um,
[57:32] we can talk about that offline, but I
[57:34] think that's just a policy practice
[57:36] call.
[57:36] >> Um, but you know, by the time you could
[57:40] just inform somebody and have them fix
[57:42] it that day, whereas if you have to
[57:43] force them to do it, it's a whole big
[57:46] long process that could take the whole
[57:47] summer.
[57:48] >> Oh, wow. because you know we have to
[57:49] give them a notice with a certain amount
[57:50] of time to comply. They have a legal
[57:52] right to appeal that notice a lot do and
[57:54] then it takes time to get it before the
[57:56] ALJ. I mean it it just
[57:58] >> the process
[57:59] >> it's a process
[58:01] >> and it's a legal process and a lot of
[58:03] it's mandated by state law. We don't
[58:04] have any ability to control
[58:05] >> and it costs more money than education.
[58:08] >> Yeah. And most people are
[58:09] well-intentioned. Most people care. They
[58:11] want to do what's right.
[58:13] We are we are finding I think there's
[58:15] some sentiment too if we push that
[58:18] message too hard. People are feeling
[58:20] like well it's all of the burdens
[58:24] getting put on to us and what about all
[58:26] these data centers and what about all of
[58:29] the
[58:30] >> down
[58:31] >> what about the bigger? So we try to find
[58:34] a balance where we're not pounding them
[58:37] all the time with you know here you have
[58:41] to do this or you should do this. So
[58:43] it's I think there is a balance. We try
[58:46] to find that needle but certainly more
[58:48] education the better I think in general.
[58:50] >> Well we'll educate we'll let the city
[58:52] >> Yeah. code enforce
[58:54] >> they be the bad guy. [laughter]
[58:58] >> Yep. But uh
[58:59] >> well the district doesn't really have
[59:00] code enforcement authority anyway.
[59:04] >> So um as far as the rate study that's
[59:09] coming in here
[59:10] >> would like to be able to finish that up
[59:12] by like Tai said by the end of the year
[59:15] >> and so we'd recommend this task order
[59:18] for approval unless the board has any
[59:21] objections.
[59:23] >> I'm good.
[59:29] Make a motion on number one.
[59:32] >> Mr. [clears throat] Chairman, I make a
[59:33] motion for Bowen and Collins associate
[59:36] amendment task order 24-2
[59:39] for master plan impact fee and study
[59:41] amount of $15,814.
[59:44] >> Second motion second. All in favor?
[59:47] >> Okay, Clint.
[59:48] >> Okay. The next uh task order is um for
[59:52] the bidding period and construction
[59:54] management services for the garden
[59:57] project with our Bon and Collins as our
[1:00:00] consultant. Um there is some additional
[1:00:03] signage that we've asked them to design.
[1:00:06] Um it would be more like central
[1:00:10] stations, some bigger signs, not just
[1:00:12] the individual,
[1:00:14] >> not the little teeny ones,
[1:00:15] >> teeny ones. This would be some bigger
[1:00:17] signage. um that would give some more
[1:00:21] information and have six spots where
[1:00:23] people could stop. So, you'd have the
[1:00:25] main big sign at the back of this
[1:00:29] concrete signage that would give them
[1:00:32] the overview and then we would have
[1:00:34] these stops along the way. And that's
[1:00:36] what this portion would be um to really
[1:00:39] flesh those out.
[1:00:40] >> So, we plan to do the design in a CAD so
[1:00:44] they so people bidding it just have to
[1:00:46] download it. Okay.
[1:00:48] >> Yep.
[1:00:48] >> That saves a lot of money.
[1:00:51] >> Okay. So, Mr. Chairman, like to make a
[1:00:54] motion [clears throat]
[1:00:55] for Bona Collins, associate scope and
[1:00:57] fee for additional signage design,
[1:00:59] bidding assistance, uh, construction
[1:01:02] management services for the conversation
[1:01:06] conservation garden project in amount
[1:01:09] not to exceed $28,696.
[1:01:13] >> I'll second that.
[1:01:14] >> Motion second. All in favor? Hi Kate
[1:01:17] Dallas.
[1:01:19] So this is our annual dudes root control
[1:01:22] program. Just a reminder, this is the
[1:01:25] chemical that gets sprayed down the
[1:01:27] collection system. It's a foam. It just
[1:01:30] eats the roots that are attacking the
[1:01:32] collection system. Uh we've been doing
[1:01:34] this for over 10 years. They've been a
[1:01:37] great partner.
[1:01:39] 2026 we're scheduled to do 9,646
[1:01:43] linear feet and we just go from manhole
[1:01:46] to manhole. One of the best things I
[1:01:48] like about Duke is they offer a
[1:01:51] threeyear warranty. So when they come
[1:01:53] out to do this roughly 10,000 ft any
[1:01:57] work that they've done in the previous
[1:01:58] three years if it needs another shot
[1:02:00] then they'll do all that included.
[1:02:02] >> Oh.
[1:02:03] >> So it's just been a great partnership.
[1:02:06] If you will notice on the quote, it came
[1:02:08] in just around 20,000. Um, what we're
[1:02:11] asking for upon approval is not to
[1:02:14] exceed 25,000. Inevitably, as we get in
[1:02:17] there doing the maintenance, we always
[1:02:19] find something that we hadn't seen at
[1:02:22] the time the generator. So, we give
[1:02:24] ourselves a little bit of a buffer to
[1:02:26] get anything any
[1:02:31] like this.
[1:02:33] >> Are you okay with that?
[1:02:34] >> Yes.
[1:02:35] Okay, Mr. Chairman, like to make a
[1:02:37] motion uh 2026 for Duke's annual
[1:02:40] chemical root control the amount not to
[1:02:43] exceed 25,000.
[1:02:44] >> I'll second that.
[1:02:45] >> Good motion. Second. All in favor?
[1:02:47] >> I I
[1:02:49] >> Andrew.
[1:02:51] >> Yes. Thank you, board chair. Uh
[1:02:55] we recently ran a fleet pricing estimate with Jerry
[1:03:04] Siner LHM who had the state contract as
[1:03:08] well as Ken Gar Ford who had a state
[1:03:10] contract. Um some of the things to note
[1:03:14] as we did this is we've had this current
[1:03:16] fleet coming up on three years. So,
[1:03:18] we're just about out of warranty. And
[1:03:20] so, that kind of makes you start looking
[1:03:22] at uh operational cost costs and
[1:03:25] maintenance costs of what's going to
[1:03:27] come as well as tire replacement and
[1:03:29] things like that. Um, as you can see on
[1:03:32] here, Jerry Siner came in significantly
[1:03:34] cheaper than the state bid. Um, which is
[1:03:38] pretty impressive. Um, when we spoke
[1:03:40] with Ford, they did not have all the
[1:03:43] options we needed. You know, that is so
[1:03:45] funny with Ford because they used to be
[1:03:47] where you couldn't they had the best
[1:03:49] leasing and everything back in the day.
[1:03:51] >> Yeah. They told me they went right away
[1:03:53] from anything small with the fleet.
[1:03:57] >> I said, "Okay, well, send me what you've
[1:03:59] got."
[1:03:59] >> Good.
[1:04:00] >> Um, the other thing that we're looking
[1:04:03] at possibly doing is converting some of
[1:04:05] our half ton pickups to four Colorados.
[1:04:10] um that as you can see that gives you
[1:04:11] some cost savings of about $8,000 on the
[1:04:14] purchase price, but you're also looking
[1:04:16] at probably around uh 10 miles to the
[1:04:19] gallon
[1:04:21] increase with the Colorado for some of
[1:04:24] our more heavy users that drive.
[1:04:27] >> Where would the four Colorado go to?
[1:04:29] >> Um the three meter guys that probably
[1:04:32] are some of our bigger users on vehicle
[1:04:35] usage. Okay. Okay. And and and a
[1:04:37] Colorado uses more fuel than I have
[1:04:39] >> and less fuel.
[1:04:40] >> Oh yeah. Okay.
[1:04:41] >> So I I think the Colorado you'd
[1:04:43] experience about 25 miles to the gallon.
[1:04:46] >> Oh yeah, that'd be good.
[1:04:48] >> Um so that would be a big increase
[1:04:50] there. Um
[1:04:52] and then the other Colorado would go to
[1:04:54] the wastewater treatment plant for the
[1:04:57] lead. Uh they'd still have the half ton
[1:04:59] to haul the pumps, but the lead would
[1:05:02] move to a to a Colorado.
[1:05:04] >> Okay. Um I I but while on this
[1:05:09] discussion um if you'll look down to the next portion of that on the on
[1:05:15] the fleet buyback just to give you a
[1:05:17] full picture of what it would be um they
[1:05:21] came out it didn't get put in I guess so
[1:05:24] if you look at the um
[1:05:26] >> agenda
[1:05:28] >> you can pull up the agenda tie
[1:05:31] [clears throat]
[1:05:32] >> should have a button there that'll take
[1:05:33] you straight back to agenda.
[1:05:34] Oh, I see it. Number five.
[1:05:36] >> Number five there. So, Jerry Siner came
[1:05:39] and gave us a quote on purchasing our
[1:05:42] fleet of $570,300.
[1:05:47] That's a difference of $141,555
[1:05:52] um from what the purchase price of the
[1:05:54] new fleet would be. If you look at that,
[1:05:57] that's basically a cost of this fleet
[1:06:00] over the last 36 months of 3,932,
[1:06:05] which breaks down to $231 per vehicle.
[1:06:08] >> Wow, that's great.
[1:06:09] >> Which you can't really beat. And so
[1:06:11] >> what's our limitation for mine?
[1:06:14] >> So
[1:06:15] there isn't one. These it states a
[1:06:18] lease, but it's more it's more of a
[1:06:19] lease through Zans. It's a little
[1:06:22] >> Oh.
[1:06:22] >> set up. It's more of a purchase. Well,
[1:06:25] it says based on mileage.
[1:06:26] >> Oh, so the buy based on mileage is
[1:06:29] >> if we if we
[1:06:32] hold off for two months, right, we're
[1:06:34] going to accumulate mileage and so the
[1:06:36] buyback price is going to reflect any
[1:06:38] mileage that we use between now and a
[1:06:41] decision if that's where we go.
[1:06:43] >> So, do we have any do we have any of our
[1:06:44] vehicles over 36,000? Because I think
[1:06:47] they come with 12,000 miles a year.
[1:06:49] Yeah, there's I think two. One of the half tons is just over 36 and
[1:06:56] one of the SUVs is around 40.
[1:07:00] >> 40.
[1:07:02] >> So now we're going to have to pay.
[1:07:03] >> No. So it doesn't it's we're not we we
[1:07:06] have no mileage limitation.
[1:07:07] >> Oh, so they're not going to Okay, that's good then.
[1:07:10] >> No, we have no mileage limitation.
[1:07:11] >> Yeah. I I will just highlight we looked
[1:07:14] at this was it a year and a half ago. We
[1:07:17] l looked at the when the tariffs were
[1:07:19] first getting going and
[1:07:20] >> it just didn't make sense falling. It
[1:07:22] didn't make sense.
[1:07:23] >> But the only reason we hang on to stuff,
[1:07:25] it's not available for the new stuff.
[1:07:27] Right.
[1:07:27] >> Well, I like I said, I think it didn't
[1:07:31] make sense. Uh we actually didn't get
[1:07:34] the values that we were wanting to get.
[1:07:39] >> And this
[1:07:40] I think like Andrew said, it's the
[1:07:43] values are back. They're given more.
[1:07:45] Yeah.
[1:07:46] >> Again.
[1:07:47] >> Yeah.
[1:07:47] >> For what we
[1:07:48] >> So, for instance, the purchase of the
[1:07:51] new one tons is $52,000 and they're
[1:07:53] offering $46,000 for the one tons.
[1:07:55] >> Wow.
[1:07:56] >> And that's the middle grade one too,
[1:07:58] right? That's the middle grade of the
[1:08:00] 1500 series.
[1:08:01] >> That's the LC's.
[1:08:02] >> The LT. Yeah. Okay,
[1:08:03] >> that's good.
[1:08:04] >> So, first off, before we go any further,
[1:08:06] I got to look over to the money person.
[1:08:09] Can we do it?
[1:08:11] I think if we set it up like we have in
[1:08:13] the in the past, they've set up the
[1:08:17] purchase agreement where if we were to
[1:08:20] trade them in after 3 years, then it's a
[1:08:22] lower payment,
[1:08:23] >> right?
[1:08:24] >> And then if we do decide to keep them,
[1:08:26] then it goes higher. But
[1:08:28] >> yeah, we should be okay if
[1:08:30] >> Okay. Because I want to make
[1:08:31] >> work it that way.
[1:08:32] >> So make sure because you know me. So
[1:08:34] currently,
[1:08:35] >> yeah,
[1:08:35] >> the the the buyback
[1:08:39] >> puts us in the black on what we owe as
[1:08:41] well.
[1:08:42] >> Good.
[1:08:43] >> Okay. So So
[1:08:45] >> significantly.
[1:08:46] >> So question for you. Um
[1:08:48] >> so we're going to go back to four
[1:08:50] equinox.
[1:08:51] >> Yes.
[1:08:53] >> Okay.
[1:08:54] >> Chevy.
[1:08:55] >> So So the question I have here, and I
[1:08:56] I'm just going to be really upfront
[1:08:58] about this. Have we went through and
[1:09:00] analyzed? I mean, because I don't want
[1:09:01] to see extra trucks. I don't want to see
[1:09:03] people having an extra truck just
[1:09:05] running around. I I you know what? I I'm
[1:09:08] the mayor. Plus, I sit on this board.
[1:09:10] You know, we pay a lot of money in in in
[1:09:12] taxes here to the water district. I do
[1:09:15] not want to see these. You know what? I can we consolidate any of these
[1:09:19] vehicles and and I'm being really
[1:09:22] upfront honest because I have had
[1:09:24] complaints that I see the guys running
[1:09:27] here and there. Of course, they don't
[1:09:28] know why they're running here and there.
[1:09:30] Right.
[1:09:30] >> Uh but I'm just saying I see a lot of
[1:09:32] the time guys with one truck and then I
[1:09:34] see a lot of guys when they're all
[1:09:36] ganged up in the service truck.
[1:09:39] >> So I mean
[1:09:40] >> Yes. And part of the reason why you're
[1:09:41] seeing more people in the service truck
[1:09:42] is we have consolidated the fleet and
[1:09:45] our maintenance uh buildings maintenance
[1:09:48] operator has taken one of the
[1:09:51] construction vehicles and been operating
[1:09:53] with been operating.
[1:09:54] >> Hey, where's our GMC little truck at? I
[1:09:56] don't see it out and about being
[1:09:58] >> it gets used.
[1:09:59] >> Is it okay because I don't see it out
[1:10:01] anymore.
[1:10:01] >> Ty Ty T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T drives it quite frequently. Um
[1:10:04] the EDR plant will use it at times.
[1:10:07] >> They've kind of switched to using the
[1:10:09] other Chevy, the one.
[1:10:11] >> One of the things I think it'd be really
[1:10:13] smart to do is that big service truck,
[1:10:16] you know, it went home all week on call
[1:10:18] out to
[1:10:20] I I think we need to be a little bit
[1:10:21] more wiser. I mean, that takes a lot of
[1:10:23] gas. We need to
[1:10:25] >> we need to maybe switch. We need to be a
[1:10:27] little
[1:10:27] >> Have them take the Colorado on that
[1:10:29] call.
[1:10:30] >> Yeah.
[1:10:30] >> Or an SUV.
[1:10:31] >> Yeah.
[1:10:32] >> But that does affect response time. I
[1:10:36] mean, if they have all the It's
[1:10:37] depending.
[1:10:38] >> Yeah.
[1:10:39] >> We could even have him take like Chris's
[1:10:41] truck. Chris's truck would get a lot
[1:10:42] better gas mileage. And it has
[1:10:45] >> the majority of the tools that he could
[1:10:47] respond to an emergency with.
[1:10:49] >> Yeah. Especially if you got a service
[1:10:51] truck out there that you don't have
[1:10:52] nowhere to really have safety and you
[1:10:54] know if the stuff gets stole off the bat
[1:10:55] then what happens?
[1:10:57] >> Yeah.
[1:10:57] >> That comes with a hefty cost on us.
[1:10:59] >> Yeah.
[1:11:00] >> I think we need to be a little bit more
[1:11:02] wiser on what we what we take home. And
[1:11:05] when you say well they can respond
[1:11:07] faster. I don't know if I buy into that.
[1:11:09] But
[1:11:10] >> hey Steve, you're going to design a
[1:11:11] telescoping Yes.
[1:11:13] >> main shut off valve out that'll fit in
[1:11:14] less than an 8.
[1:11:16] >> Yeah.
[1:11:17] >> You already did. That's that's what he's
[1:11:20] using in his. So,
[1:11:21] >> but I just think we need to be a little
[1:11:22] bit more smarter on what we send our
[1:11:26] people home that's on call because at
[1:11:28] the end of the day, it's bunch of gas.
[1:11:30] >> It comes It all comes back on us.
[1:11:32] >> Gas a lot cheaper than diesel for sure.
[1:11:34] >> And uh
[1:11:35] >> better.
[1:11:36] >> But no, I mean, if we're if we're
[1:11:38] watching what we're doing with these
[1:11:40] vehicles, I have no problem as the
[1:11:42] chair.
[1:11:42] >> They were quite impressed with with the
[1:11:44] care that was taken in them
[1:11:46] >> and good. Well, and I'm very particular
[1:11:48] on them trucks being maintained because
[1:11:50] it cost us a lot of money and we as
[1:11:52] taxpayer pay for these vehicles
[1:11:54] >> 100%.
[1:11:55] >> I will just also say we met with the
[1:11:58] insurance company, the Glap Filter. Uh
[1:12:01] they're the bigger national carrier. Uh
[1:12:04] Olympus is our local rep. Um they did
[1:12:07] comment to us that they have not seen as
[1:12:11] clean of a vehicle record. Um,
[1:12:14] >> oh, we like that.
[1:12:15] >> In their recent travels, they go out and
[1:12:19] meet with a bunch of different
[1:12:20] facilities and they just highlighted
[1:12:22] that. And so I think that's a that's
[1:12:26] kudos to the managers and
[1:12:29] >> Oh, I agree. I I really do appreciate
[1:12:30] them guys making
[1:12:31] >> important to hear
[1:12:32] >> holding them because you know what
[1:12:34] >> because that goes into this value as
[1:12:36] well. If they've been in
[1:12:37] >> if they've been beat then they don't
[1:12:39] want to buy our vehicles back.
[1:12:41] >> Yeah. Used vehicles are in high demand
[1:12:43] right now comparing to what new vehicles
[1:12:45] cost.
[1:12:47] >> Well, and at the end of the day, it all
[1:12:48] comes back to us three people.
[1:12:51] >> You guys don't get to hear it. We do.
[1:12:53] >> Yeah,
[1:12:53] >> we hear.
[1:12:54] >> And uh I just want to make sure again I
[1:12:57] appreciate then there's no reason why,
[1:12:59] and I'm being honest. We can argue all
[1:13:01] this. There's no reason why these
[1:13:03] vehicles can't be cleaned once a week.
[1:13:05] We're not that busy that we can't clean
[1:13:07] our vehicles once a week.
[1:13:08] >> We're in agreement with that.
[1:13:10] Oh yeah.
[1:13:11] >> So if the C if the board's good, I'm
[1:13:14] good to move on it.
[1:13:16] >> Okay.
[1:13:17] >> Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion
[1:13:18] to proceed with the lease purchase Jerry
[1:13:22] Siner Chevrolet $711,855.
[1:13:26] Uh and that will be subject to change
[1:13:29] upon release.
[1:13:31] >> Yeah. So the 27 models are coming out
[1:13:32] soon. And so if the 27 models come out
[1:13:35] before we had made this decision and the
[1:13:38] 26 were no longer available, then you'd
[1:13:41] see about 2 to 4% increase. But I think
[1:13:44] we're probably within that limits.
[1:13:45] >> So we're going to do 26s or 27s?
[1:13:48] >> 26s. I think there's one I think the
[1:13:50] equinoxes have to be a 27, but I think
[1:13:52] the rest were still 26.
[1:13:54] >> Okay.
[1:13:55] >> And does the Equinox work out for you
[1:13:57] guys?
[1:13:58] >> I think so. I think it gets good gas
[1:14:00] mileage. 28 to 30 miles the gallon and
[1:14:03] with the all-wheel drive it's capable
[1:14:05] >> and they're really popular as long as
[1:14:07] you do the oil changes.
[1:14:08] >> Yes.
[1:14:09] >> Oil any of these?
[1:14:12] >> No.
[1:14:16] » I don't mess with that stuff. That's
[1:14:18] high maintenance.
[1:14:22] » Okay then.
[1:14:23] >> Okay. Let's move on to
[1:14:25] >> Okay. Sorry. I'm moving ahead.
[1:14:28] >> I'll second it then. Okay.
[1:14:30] >> All in favor?
[1:14:31] >> I I
[1:14:33] >> Okay, let's move on to administration.
[1:14:35] >> It's number five.
[1:14:37] >> Number five. Oh, sorry.
[1:14:39] >> I jumped ahead and talked about five,
[1:14:41] but we didn't do that one yet.
[1:14:42] >> Go for it.
[1:14:43] >> I'd like to make a motion to also
[1:14:45] approve the fleet buyback quote uh for
[1:14:48] $570,300
[1:14:50] subject to change based on damage and
[1:14:52] mileage to cured or sell.
[1:14:54] >> I'll second that.
[1:14:55] >> Motion second. All in favor?
[1:14:56] >> I.
[1:14:57] >> Okay. Now, we're moving on. Clint, sorry
[1:14:59] I'm pushing this agenda fast.
[1:15:01] >> That's good.
[1:15:01] >> So, uh, let's move on to you number one.
[1:15:04] >> Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We've
[1:15:06] got, uh, some comments that we made
[1:15:10] along with, uh, Nathan's
[1:15:14] he he's made the majority of the changes
[1:15:17] to this,
[1:15:19] um, no fault program. I think we're
[1:15:21] getting close to a really good product.
[1:15:25] He's also added an application
[1:15:29] >> that they could
[1:15:31] >> people affected could put in and we can
[1:15:34] consider. Um, I think one of the things
[1:15:38] as we're working through one of these
[1:15:40] potential claims with a customer,
[1:15:44] um,
[1:15:44] >> he's not very smart. One of the things
[1:15:46] that became apparent is they may submit,
[1:15:50] you know, documentation
[1:15:52] for consideration in this program, but
[1:15:55] it's really important that and LI's been
[1:15:58] noticing this. They might submit the
[1:16:01] estimate right from the insurance
[1:16:05] company or from the cleanup company.
[1:16:09] And that estimate is usually maybe based
[1:16:13] on if the insurance pays for it. Well,
[1:16:16] we've seen where they'll discount at
[1:16:18] 50%.
[1:16:20] >> If the customer pays them directly, you
[1:16:22] know, if the insurance won't co cover
[1:16:24] it. So, we want to make sure that we are
[1:16:28] only paying this is to help out the
[1:16:30] customer, right? In a situation where
[1:16:34] it's not our fault and it potentially is
[1:16:37] not their fault.
[1:16:38] We don't want to be paying anything
[1:16:40] that's inflated.
[1:16:42] >> And so it really needs to be based on
[1:16:44] actual invoices
[1:16:46] >> that that the customer gets instead of
[1:16:49] any estimated
[1:16:50] >> because then it'll be lower
[1:16:52] >> cost. So and then if they're if the
[1:16:56] customer contributes any labor,
[1:16:58] we really shouldn't be paying out for
[1:17:03] because how do we quantify that? So, I
[1:17:06] think we need to make sure that any
[1:17:07] labor costs have to also be invoices or
[1:17:12] >> we can't pay for customer labor costs
[1:17:15] because again, we're just trying to help
[1:17:18] them out, not have them pocket any
[1:17:21] money, right? And and wanted to make
[1:17:24] sure the board was supportive of that.
[1:17:26] Um adding if we have to add anything.
[1:17:30] That was just this morning's discussion.
[1:17:32] Um great. So
[1:17:34] >> a spot in here for
[1:17:36] >> receipts.
[1:17:38] >> Okay. Uh Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make
[1:17:40] a motion, too.
[1:17:41] >> Wait, there is there is one and then one
[1:17:42] more thing that and then if Nathan wants
[1:17:44] to add anything else, the value the
[1:17:46] total [clears throat] limit. If we want
[1:17:49] to set a limit, there was $10,000
[1:17:53] discussed. I think we probably should I
[1:17:56] would recommend raising that just to
[1:17:58] give the board the flexibility
[1:18:01] um to be able to cover
[1:18:04] uh the the costs the closer to the truer
[1:18:07] costs. And you know, often no fault
[1:18:12] programs are already defaulted at 5,000.
[1:18:16] So going to 10,000 doesn't give a whole
[1:18:18] lot more than maybe a standard default.
[1:18:21] So
[1:18:21] >> do we know what a do we know what a
[1:18:23] standard anybody I mean of course they
[1:18:26] all range at different you know
[1:18:27] different flooding
[1:18:28] >> the range that we
[1:18:30] >> what what has been the range what has
[1:18:32] been the range that
[1:18:33] >> I would recommend you land somewhere
[1:18:35] around $30,000 for this.
[1:18:37] >> Okay. Um, I think it's probably going to
[1:18:41] be on the lower end of an insurance
[1:18:43] estimate,
[1:18:44] >> but it gives you some,
[1:18:46] >> but and it's probably maybe on the
[1:18:48] higher end of what actual costs might be
[1:18:52] if if we're not paying if they do some,
[1:18:56] >> I go 35.
[1:18:57] >> Yeah. And that could that there's argument for that, too. So
[1:19:00] >> yeah, it just gives us a little
[1:19:02] >> but it gives you a little latitude. So
[1:19:04] whatever the board feels comfortable
[1:19:05] there, um
[1:19:09] it's one of those things the more that
[1:19:11] you set the limit to, the more potential
[1:19:15] you'll pay out. But if we're really
[1:19:17] narrowing it down to just actual cost,
[1:19:20] >> it should stay.
[1:19:22] >> You don't want to put it too low because
[1:19:25] then you can't cover that if that's the
[1:19:28] intent,
[1:19:29] >> right? If you go super high, people
[1:19:32] might get dollar signs in their eyes,
[1:19:34] you know. So,
[1:19:35] >> of course,
[1:19:36] >> I think I think that would be a good
[1:19:38] recommen.
[1:19:38] >> So, it's set in right here at 10.
[1:19:40] >> No, it's blank. Blank. I put together a
[1:19:43] draft and I just literally threw $10,000
[1:19:46] in. And so, I asked the aisle to take
[1:19:48] the number out so the board could make a
[1:19:50] decision today or whenever it approved
[1:19:52] this as to what amount you want because
[1:19:54] I don't know what that amount should be.
[1:19:57] Yeah, it was a good good starting point
[1:19:58] for discussion.
[1:19:59] >> I my recommendation would be 35, but I'm
[1:20:02] just throwing that out there.
[1:20:05] >> So, if you were to approve it today,
[1:20:07] you'd have to approve it and in the
[1:20:08] motion, you would say, I approve this
[1:20:10] resolution subject to including X as the
[1:20:12] amount of money for the threshold. And
[1:20:14] just as a a reminder, the way this is
[1:20:16] structured, that's a lifetime payout
[1:20:18] amount,
[1:20:18] >> right?
[1:20:18] >> Because we don't want somebody coming in
[1:20:20] saying getting 35,000 one year and then
[1:20:23] coming back the next year. We are not.
[1:20:25] One of the things I was concerned about
[1:20:27] in drafting this is
[1:20:29] you are not an insurance company,
[1:20:30] >> right? And and part of what Leo and I
[1:20:33] talked about and and I've added this in
[1:20:36] that language for for fault is
[1:20:39] what I don't want is people to just go
[1:20:42] and get the cheapest possible insurance
[1:20:44] which will cover these things and then
[1:20:45] use you as the backup
[1:20:47] >> because that's not fair for the
[1:20:48] residents that have listened to your
[1:20:50] recommendations and have gotten adequate
[1:20:52] insurance because then they're
[1:20:53] effectively subsidizing the people that
[1:20:55] have gone really cheap and haven't
[1:20:57] gotten the adequate policy. So you had
[1:20:59] asked me to reflesh out what fault means
[1:21:01] and one of the things I put is
[1:21:03] disregarded district recommendations.
[1:21:05] >> So if you've done education stuff in
[1:21:07] your billing and you've said do X Y and
[1:21:09] Z and they've completely ignored that
[1:21:12] that's not fair to the people that have
[1:21:14] gone spent the cost and the time to
[1:21:16] prevent the problem from happening.
[1:21:17] [snorts]
[1:21:18] So again this gets back to being no
[1:21:20] fault.
[1:21:23] » Does 35 years?
[1:21:25] >> I think that sounds like a good plan. Uh
[1:21:28] did you have any other comments?
[1:21:29] >> No, that was it. I just um so in in it
[1:21:33] you'll see I I did put together an
[1:21:35] application form.
[1:21:36] >> Okay.
[1:21:37] >> I thought that was good.
[1:21:38] >> And that's based somewhat on the kind of
[1:21:41] notice of claim that people would file
[1:21:43] in a normal lawsuit. But the one
[1:21:46] document that we would need to make if
[1:21:47] you pass this and there's authorization
[1:21:49] in the resolution let staff do this it'
[1:21:51] be okay is is the waiver agreement we'd
[1:21:53] have people sign because I don't want
[1:21:55] someone to come in say wo is me get paid
[1:21:57] and then turn around and sue us.
[1:21:59] >> Yeah.
[1:21:59] >> Oh wow. Yeah.
[1:22:01] >> I I can see that happening. So
[1:22:04] >> yeah that's a condition that's always
[1:22:06] been here. That's the one document we
[1:22:08] haven't prepared but I didn't want to
[1:22:09] prepare that before you you know you're
[1:22:11] proving it. Should we make a motion on
[1:22:13] it today or wait?
[1:22:14] >> Yeah. No, the motion's drafted right now
[1:22:17] that you would approve it. We'll add in
[1:22:19] the 35,000 if that's the number you
[1:22:21] want.
[1:22:22] >> You'll approve the application form, but
[1:22:23] it's also authorizing Le and me and and
[1:22:26] Clint to prepare the waiver agreement.
[1:22:28] Okay.
[1:22:29] >> If if you want to see that, we can bring
[1:22:31] that back.
[1:22:31] >> I'm fine. You know what? I believe
[1:22:32] >> I didn't think you wanted to be involved
[1:22:34] with that.
[1:22:34] >> No. So, Mr. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to
[1:22:36] make a motion to approve the uh 2026-05
[1:22:41] Magna Water District no fault culinary
[1:22:43] water and sewer failure reimbursement
[1:22:46] program with a change of exhibit one to
[1:22:50] uh 7.2.6
[1:22:52] to 35,000 maximum limit
[1:22:56] and uh approve the
[1:23:00] call the waiver
[1:23:02] >> the waiver.
[1:23:03] >> No, that's already in there. the
[1:23:04] resolution. It's already drafted in the
[1:23:05] So, you just say, "I move to approve the
[1:23:07] resolution as drafted subject to
[1:23:09] increasing the threshold to $35,000."
[1:23:11] >> Okay,
[1:23:12] >> that's all you need to do.
[1:23:13] >> Okay, we got that.
[1:23:14] >> 35.
[1:23:15] >> Okay. Yeah, you did. Sorry.
[1:23:17] >> You know, second motion, a second. All
[1:23:19] in favor?
[1:23:20] >> I
[1:23:26] leu.
[1:23:28] So, I wanted to have a discussion or
[1:23:32] just a little bit of guidance for the
[1:23:35] election. Um,
[1:23:38] there's one code section that says we
[1:23:41] should have a voting day election
[1:23:44] location in every precinct in the
[1:23:46] jurisdiction. Well, we have like 12
[1:23:50] little precincts. So, we're not going to
[1:23:52] have 12 voting. In the past, we had
[1:23:55] three voting day physical locations
[1:24:00] and then another code section says one
[1:24:03] or more polling places. So,
[1:24:07] my thoughts are maybe we could have the
[1:24:09] physical voting location on voting day
[1:24:13] here at the office and then we would
[1:24:16] only have to have three polling judges.
[1:24:19] Um, if we have more than one location,
[1:24:22] then we have to have three judges per
[1:24:24] location.
[1:24:25] >> Location.
[1:24:26] >> If that's the case, then I needed a way
[1:24:29] to find judges. Um, and Clint and I were
[1:24:32] talking. I asked him if we could put it
[1:24:34] on Facebook and see if anybody
[1:24:36] volunteered.
[1:24:37] In the past, you know,
[1:24:39] >> in the past, years ago, uh, the county
[1:24:42] would give us a list of people that had
[1:24:46] volunteered to be polling judges,
[1:24:48] [clears throat]
[1:24:49] but they said they don't have that now.
[1:24:54] They don't have a list. So, it was kind
[1:24:57] of
[1:24:58] >> Yeah. I think our our if you guys have
[1:25:02] any concerns, we want to make sure
[1:25:04] that's fair.
[1:25:06] uh obviously and that they have
[1:25:08] experience or
[1:25:10] >> yeah there are some uh qualifications in
[1:25:12] Utah code that polling judges have to
[1:25:16] have of course I think it's just to be a
[1:25:18] resident of the district US citizen
[1:25:22] those types so it's not really too bad
[1:25:25] of requirements to be a judge but
[1:25:27] >> I'd say do it the way you've proposed
[1:25:29] right now okay
[1:25:31] >> just you know what I'm not going to
[1:25:32] comment on it because
[1:25:34] >> I'm running. So,
[1:25:35] >> that's true.
[1:25:36] >> I'm going to I'm going to stay out of
[1:25:38] it. So, whatever you feel that you need
[1:25:40] to do.
[1:25:41] >> Oh, we still need
[1:25:42] >> You've got Danny to
[1:25:44] >> We still
[1:25:44] >> ask Danny what he thinks.
[1:25:46] >> Okay.
[1:25:47] >> We're hope we're really hoping that we
[1:25:49] >> What's your recommendation?
[1:25:50] >> My recommendation is to maybe have two polling locations in person that
[1:25:57] day.
[1:25:57] >> Okay.
[1:25:59] one here and maybe one
[1:26:01] >> you do it
[1:26:02] >> at a school where the county is going to
[1:26:04] be.
[1:26:05] >> Okay.
[1:26:05] >> So that there's two, you know, if they
[1:26:08] go to one place at least they can vote
[1:26:09] on us if they want to. Um so that would
[1:26:13] mean I'd need six judges. So if we could
[1:26:16] >> Can those be all employees?
[1:26:19] >> I don't believe they can be all
[1:26:21] employees
[1:26:21] >> because the employees would have to be
[1:26:23] living here.
[1:26:24] >> Can any of them be employees? like Mandy
[1:26:27] lives within the district, right? So,
[1:26:29] >> yeah. Um,
[1:26:30] >> do we want that?
[1:26:32] >> We never have had employees be the
[1:26:34] judges.
[1:26:36] >> I think it would be better to not have
[1:26:37] employees be the judges. I just
[1:26:40] regardless of what the law says. Just
[1:26:41] the optics of that if like you don't
[1:26:44] want to have somebody win and say,
[1:26:45] "Well, it's because their employees
[1:26:46] were."
[1:26:47] >> Yeah.
[1:26:47] >> You know, one of the things is you could
[1:26:49] ask there's one that used to do it a
[1:26:50] long time ago. Her name's Anna Beth Ma.
[1:26:52] >> Is she still around?
[1:26:54] >> That's what I was going to say.
[1:26:55] >> Yeah. We had Annabth do our every time.
[1:26:58] She was really good.
[1:26:59] >> Maybe she could find you some people.
[1:27:01] >> Yeah, that's just what I was going to
[1:27:02] say. You get a hold of Ann Beth and she
[1:27:04] would find
[1:27:05] >> Okay,
[1:27:06] >> that's just a recommendation. I'm not
[1:27:08] saying just so you know that for the
[1:27:09] record.
[1:27:10] >> I'll I'll make that recommendation cuz
[1:27:11] Annabth will do a good job.
[1:27:13] >> Well, I she did do our elections every
[1:27:16] time we did it and she's really good at
[1:27:18] it. So, I just didn't know if she was
[1:27:20] still around or not.
[1:27:21] >> She is.
[1:27:21] >> So, so there are different types of
[1:27:22] judges. Are we talking about the
[1:27:24] election judges that are at the polling
[1:27:25] location?
[1:27:26] >> Polling location.
[1:27:27] >> Not the ones counting it though.
[1:27:29] >> In the past they did it all.
[1:27:32] >> Yeah. Cuz there's like three separate
[1:27:34] classifications of it. But um
[1:27:38] >> Yeah.
[1:27:39] >> In the past the polls would close at
[1:27:41] 8:00 and those three judges and myself
[1:27:45] would count the votes right after it
[1:27:48] closed. involved with me.
[1:27:50] >> I mean, I think the safest would be to
[1:27:52] put an open call for it.
[1:27:55] >> We need this many.
[1:27:57] >> Respond to us if you're interested by
[1:27:59] this date. If we can't get enough, then
[1:28:01] we move on to asking individuals.
[1:28:04] >> I mean, is that sound like a reasonable
[1:28:07] fair?
[1:28:07] >> Yeah, I think so. I I don't think
[1:28:09] there's not a lot of qualifications in
[1:28:10] the code. What? It's just whoever's
[1:28:12] appointed. But I would say especially
[1:28:15] given the [clears throat] the focus and
[1:28:17] the concerns about the integrity of
[1:28:19] elections over recent years, you just
[1:28:20] want to
[1:28:21] >> I think that's why we have
[1:28:22] >> just the optics of having someone that's
[1:28:24] connected.
[1:28:26] >> I mean I think some people used to pay
[1:28:27] for for judges too.
[1:28:29] >> Yeah, we we might have to get to that
[1:28:31] point.
[1:28:31] >> What was that? I'm sorry.
[1:28:33] >> Pay pay have
[1:28:34] >> we did in the past. We paid them like it
[1:28:36] was minimal but it was I think $30 to
[1:28:39] $50 for the day
[1:28:40] >> probably to get enough interest. I need
[1:28:42] to do that.
[1:28:43] >> Yeah. I I kind of feel like if if you
[1:28:45] have to pay for judges that are
[1:28:47] unaffiliated with the district, that's
[1:28:49] probably money well spent just to avoid
[1:28:51] the the appearance.
[1:28:53] >> Yeah. We treated our judges very well
[1:28:54] that day.
[1:28:55] >> Your insult.
[1:28:56] >> We ran our butts off, but we treated
[1:28:58] them really well.
[1:28:59] >> Made sure they have food.
[1:29:00] >> Yeah.
[1:29:00] >> Exactly.
[1:29:01] >> Yeah.
[1:29:03] >> So, this is just a picture of our ballot
[1:29:05] box that's been ordered,
[1:29:07] >> right? Oh, did we buy that box?
[1:29:10] >> Wow. They're expensive. We bought two of
[1:29:12] them.
[1:29:13] >> They're required by law.
[1:29:14] >> Yeah,
[1:29:16] >> it's not optional.
[1:29:17] >> No,
[1:29:18] >> we had Steve make them.
[1:29:20] >> Yeah,
[1:29:21] >> I didn't think of that. Probably could
[1:29:23] have, but no, they're they're secure.
[1:29:28] Um, it's called American
[1:29:31] >> American. I can't remember who it is.
[1:29:33] Sorry. American Cabinet. Anyway, they do
[1:29:37] belt. I couldn't find hardly anybody
[1:29:39] that did belt.
[1:29:39] >> Make them so they don't get pulled up
[1:29:41] and locked.
[1:29:42] >> They've got special bolts that go with
[1:29:44] these apparently according to the aisle.
[1:29:45] >> Yeah, you had to buy the bolts to secure
[1:29:47] it separately. And one package of bolts
[1:29:50] was $400.
[1:29:52] >> Where do you mount it?
[1:29:55] >> Screw it in.
[1:29:56] >> Concrete mounted.
[1:29:57] >> Yeah.
[1:29:58] >> Where?
[1:29:58] >> In a concrete. In concrete.
[1:30:00] >> We're going to put ours right inside
[1:30:02] here. Right.
[1:30:03] >> Well, that's the next discussion. So,
[1:30:05] >> yeah. because
[1:30:06] >> we need to have one theoretically or
[1:30:10] one.
[1:30:10] >> We can we can use our Dropbox for one of
[1:30:12] them
[1:30:14] >> and then Clint and I were thinking maybe
[1:30:16] the Webster Center
[1:30:19] >> or the library, but the county is going
[1:30:21] to have theirs.
[1:30:22] >> Have it at the Webster Center because
[1:30:23] it's it's we're remodeling. No,
[1:30:26] >> just kidding. I'm just kidding. Keep in
[1:30:28] mind, I haven't asked permission yet
[1:30:30] either, but um the county is going to
[1:30:32] have one of their ballots boxes at the
[1:30:35] library,
[1:30:36] >> so we could have ours kind of by
[1:30:39] >> ask permission. We think just go by
[1:30:41] where the existing ones are.
[1:30:43] >> Yeah.
[1:30:43] >> For the other election
[1:30:45] >> and then they're going to have another
[1:30:48] at West Valley City Hall.
[1:30:50] Um I don't know if we can put one there.
[1:30:53] I'd have to find out.
[1:30:55] we can approach their leadership uh to
[1:30:58] maybe
[1:30:59] >> because it like we said, we're going to
[1:31:02] have to anchor them in the concrete. So,
[1:31:04] when we remove them, we'll have to patch
[1:31:06] >> those anchors or
[1:31:08] >> we can actually put Well, I don't know
[1:31:10] what their anchors are, but usually you
[1:31:11] just cut them off and
[1:31:12] >> Yeah.
[1:31:13] >> patch it. What about What about the
[1:31:15] senior citizen center?
[1:31:17] >> Yeah, that's
[1:31:18] >> they're going to have a voting walks
[1:31:20] there.
[1:31:21] >> Uh we ordered two of them.
[1:31:23] >> Okay. So we'd have two and then this one
[1:31:26] that would be
[1:31:26] >> in West Valley City. There could be some
[1:31:28] commution at West Valley City.
[1:31:30] >> Well, the bad thing is you got people
[1:31:31] over in West Valley.
[1:31:32] >> Yeah. They want to make sure you've
[1:31:34] represented both.
[1:31:35] >> And I think we there's some requirements
[1:31:36] about if within Leis have had these
[1:31:39] discussions about, you know, district
[1:31:41] boundaries. It's a little ambiguous.
[1:31:43] Remember that discussion we had about
[1:31:45] where we had to locate the polling
[1:31:47] places?
[1:31:48] >> Yeah, I've I've read that code.
[1:31:49] >> So, this will be all in person, not by
[1:31:51] mail, right? Drop box.
[1:31:54] >> These are So, you have to have It's the
[1:31:55] drop boxes that have to be in different
[1:31:57] locations. The um
[1:31:59] >> mail would go to our PO box still,
[1:32:01] right?
[1:32:01] >> Yeah.
[1:32:02] >> So, basically, you have three things.
[1:32:03] You got the mail in ballots, you have
[1:32:05] the people that are going to come in
[1:32:06] person, that's where you need the
[1:32:06] judges, and you've got the drop boxes.
[1:32:08] >> Yeah.
[1:32:09] >> And they're the judges are for voting
[1:32:11] day.
[1:32:11] >> Yeah. They're for the people that are
[1:32:13] coming in to make sure that somebody's
[1:32:14] not committing fraud.
[1:32:16] >> Okay.
[1:32:16] >> Yeah. So um and then uh
[1:32:21] I think that's it.
[1:32:25] >> Okay.
[1:32:26] >> So if you're okay with generally th that
[1:32:28] direction, we'll we'll proceed.
[1:32:30] >> Okay.
[1:32:31] >> So no action taken.
[1:32:32] >> What
[1:32:33] >> you okay with that?
[1:32:34] >> Yes.
[1:32:34] >> Okay.
[1:32:34] >> I don't think we need any action on
[1:32:36] that.
[1:32:36] >> Yeah. They're just asking for direction.
[1:32:38] >> Yeah. I just wanted I did I talked about
[1:32:40] getting judges and didn't know if
[1:32:43] Facebook would be good or not, but
[1:32:45] >> Good to be
[1:32:46] >> Thank you. Thank you, Kayle. The next
[1:32:49] one's yours.
[1:32:51] >> So, currently Magna Water has a third
[1:32:55] party
[1:32:57] company called Express Bill Pay that our
[1:33:00] customers pay their bills online.
[1:33:04] Um, there's been a purchase or a sale of
[1:33:08] Express Bill Pay
[1:33:10] by a competitor of Cassels. Um,
[1:33:15] now instead of those two entities
[1:33:18] working together, they're now
[1:33:20] competitors.
[1:33:22] And so
[1:33:24] Cassell is no longer going to support
[1:33:27] Express the way that they are supported.
[1:33:30] Now,
[1:33:31] Express has come up with a way where if
[1:33:35] we don't want to leave Express Bill pay,
[1:33:38] we don't have to.
[1:33:40] But after seeing um this Cassell
[1:33:44] community portal, it is uh more robust,
[1:33:52] a little more userfriendly
[1:33:55] and long story short, it's a really nice
[1:33:59] application. Our accounting software is
[1:34:01] already with Cassell.
[1:34:03] Right now, if someone goes on to express
[1:34:05] bill pay and makes a payment and then
[1:34:07] looks at their bill, they can't see that
[1:34:09] they made the payment. It takes at least
[1:34:10] 24 hours.
[1:34:12] >> This Cassell community portal
[1:34:15] is real time. They make the payment,
[1:34:18] they toggle back over to their bill,
[1:34:20] they can see the payment, their balance.
[1:34:22] Anyway,
[1:34:22] >> it's a lot easier.
[1:34:23] >> It's not all that's
[1:34:27] with this portal, but I just wanted to
[1:34:30] introduce it to you. Um, Ty's going to
[1:34:32] play a video, I'm hoping.
[1:34:35] >> Yeah.
[1:34:35] >> That kind of introduces it. Our my
[1:34:38] suggestion is we roll this out slowly
[1:34:41] because Magna Water's going to have
[1:34:44] their AMI portal.
[1:34:46] Then if we make this change, I think
[1:34:48] it'll kind of be really boggle down our
[1:34:52] customers and our AMI people are working
[1:34:55] with Cassell so that they can streamline
[1:34:59] it and our customer will only have to
[1:35:01] have one sign on and they can toggle
[1:35:04] back and forth from our AMI portal to
[1:35:06] their payment portal.
[1:35:07] >> That will be a lot easier. Mhm.
[1:35:09] >> I think the concern we have is there's
[1:35:12] other districts that have made this
[1:35:15] transition from express bill pay and
[1:35:18] it's created a lot of amp uh frustration
[1:35:21] from the customers.
[1:35:23] >> So we want to avoid that situation um
[1:35:26] >> as much as possible
[1:35:27] >> as much as [laughter] we could. I think
[1:35:29] it was probably rushed,
[1:35:31] >> but
[1:35:33] I think we what I would say to that is
[1:35:36] we might want to provide both platforms
[1:35:38] for a transitional period
[1:35:41] >> and that's doable.
[1:35:42] >> Um I think it would be worth the expense
[1:35:45] uh to make sure because nothing
[1:35:48] frustrates a customer more than not
[1:35:50] seeing their payment reflected or going
[1:35:53] thinking it's going to be made
[1:35:55] automatically and it's not. And we would
[1:35:58] want to avoid all of that as as much as
[1:36:00] we can. So
[1:36:02] >> So this this Yeah. Play it if you would.

[1:41:21] to explore beyond what we've covered
[1:41:23] today.
[1:41:26] That's just a little blurp of what it
[1:41:28] kind of looks like.
[1:41:30] >> Who does the customer service on this
[1:41:32] program at the angle
[1:41:34] >> cell? So, it's it's the exact same
[1:41:37] people that we [clears throat] have our
[1:41:38] accounting software
[1:41:40] >> software inputting is it for us to do
[1:41:43] >> how much what
[1:41:44] >> or inputting for up
[1:41:45] >> less.
[1:41:48] It's less, but um
[1:41:52] we use forms on our website right now
[1:41:56] where a customer, a new customer can go
[1:41:58] to our website and sign an application
[1:42:01] card and they submit the information
[1:42:03] that we need so that we could set them
[1:42:05] up in our billing. Um
[1:42:08] we couldn't get rid of that service
[1:42:10] because it's in this portal. So that'll
[1:42:13] be a cost reduction because we pay for
[1:42:16] that service. Um, it kind of looks like
[1:42:18] it does some things that Yapify does as
[1:42:21] far as notification, but it's not to the
[1:42:24] degree Yapify is. Yify has a map, so if
[1:42:28] there's an area that we're turning off
[1:42:29] because of a leak or something. This one
[1:42:32] doesn't have a map. It just has our
[1:42:34] customer list. So, [clears throat] it's
[1:42:37] not it's a little bit of duplication of
[1:42:39] Yapify, but not entirely.
[1:42:41] >> But, we're staying with Yapify. Yeah,
[1:42:43] because Yapifi is going to be doing our
[1:42:45] AMI,
[1:42:47] our meter information. So,
[1:42:51] but it won't be a rush do it tomorrow
[1:42:53] kind of thing. We'll just roll it out
[1:42:55] slowly,
[1:42:58] >> informationational at this time. We
[1:42:59] bring it back with costs.
[1:43:00] >> Yeah.
[1:43:01] >> Okay,
[1:43:03] >> that's all I have. Thank you. Okay. So,
[1:43:07] our next board meeting will be uh August
[1:43:10] 13th um at 10 o'clock here.
[1:43:15] So,
[1:43:17] we're in need of a closed door. Um
[1:43:22] someone want to make a motion to close
[1:43:24] the open.
[1:43:26] >> Mr. I'll make a motion to take a brief
[1:43:28] recess and immediately following meet
[1:43:31] and close meeting to discuss the
[1:43:33] purchase exchange lease or sale of real
[1:43:35] property including any form of water
[1:43:37] right water shares pending reasonable in
[1:43:41] litigation and collective bargaining
[1:43:44] issued pursuant to Utah code and 524 204
[1:43:48] 205 it is
[1:43:50] >> 1143
[1:43:51] >> 1142 two.
[1:43:56] >> Second that.
[1:43:56] >> Motion second. All in favor?
[1:43:58] >> I
[1:44:00] >> Okay, it's
[1:44:01] >> It is 12:50.
[1:44:06] We're needing a motion to close the
[1:44:08] close and open the open.
[1:44:10] >> Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion to
[1:44:13] close the close and reopen the open
[1:44:16] meeting.
[1:44:17] >> Second.
[1:44:17] >> A motion second. All in favor? by um do
[1:44:21] we have anything else that needs to be
[1:44:23] addressed
[1:44:24] >> other than Danny's 80th birthday?
[1:44:28] >> Yeah,
[1:44:28] >> congratulations.
[1:44:30] >> So, someone wants to make a motion to
[1:44:32] adjourn.
[1:44:33] >> I'll make Mr. Chairman, I'll make a
[1:44:35] motion to adjourn.
[1:44:36] >> I second it.
