[1:12] Okay, see none. Does anybody here have a

[1:15] conflict

[1:17] that's on our agenda today?

[1:20] Okay,

[1:55] » 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.

[1:36:15] » Sometimes after you've been hooked up

[1:41:19] community connect. There's plenty more

[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
