1
00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:05,800
Good evening, Assembly Hock. Welcome out.

2
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:16,120
We join me in, excited for the region.

3
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,420
I believe the regions

4
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:30,660
through the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation,

5
00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:35,300
under God in the visible with liberty and justice.

6
00:00:35,980 --> 00:00:38,080
Thank you. A lot for work, correct?

7
00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:46,140
Our Father Heaven, we're thankful to live in this free country, we're thankful for a representative government.

8
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:53,320
We're thankful to be together as a community and see so much outreach and support of one another.

9
00:00:54,100 --> 00:01:01,460
We're thankful for the rain that has come and how it has come and for that protection, we pray that it will continue to bless this community

10
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:07,660
and bless the homes and property and people here that they'll be protected from flooding and debris

11
00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:10,360
flows. And this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

12
00:01:15,340 --> 00:01:21,040
Thank you. Next on our agenda is the review of

13
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:28,300
minutes. We have two minutes in front of us today. Let's take them to board. The first one is July 20th.

14
00:01:29,940 --> 00:01:32,060
our regular metal town council meeting.

15
00:01:35,620 --> 00:01:36,920
Any edits on page one?

16
00:01:43,450 --> 00:01:44,470
Anything on page two?

17
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,680
Any edits for page three?

18
00:01:57,970 --> 00:02:01,620
Good and found? I'm going to lock them together.

19
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,500
Okay. Let's go to the next meeting with August 7th.

20
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:10,700
That was the emergency town council meeting.

21
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,300
Any edits on page one?

22
00:02:19,170 --> 00:02:20,430
Any edits for page two?

23
00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:21,030
We

24
00:02:37,380 --> 00:02:39,440
have a motion for the minutes.

25
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:45,730
Make a motion to accept both sets of minutes.

26
00:02:47,610 --> 00:02:48,310
I'll check it out.

27
00:02:48,850 --> 00:02:50,870
The motion is made second with all in favor.

28
00:02:51,370 --> 00:02:52,630
My motion passes.

29
00:02:52,870 --> 00:02:53,270
Thank you.

30
00:02:54,490 --> 00:02:57,170
As we look down the agenda,

31
00:02:58,330 --> 00:03:01,770
are there any conflicts or personal interests that need to be declared?

32
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:03,330
Good.

33
00:03:03,530 --> 00:03:04,570
I'm going to write in Monday's utility.

34
00:03:04,970 --> 00:03:05,150
OK.

35
00:03:05,150 --> 00:03:05,250
Okay.

36
00:03:18,020 --> 00:03:18,240
Okay.

37
00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:24,200
Now is the time we're going to open the floor. This is your chance if you

38
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,680
want to talk, if you want to speak, except for the right money piece that's coming next.

39
00:03:30,620 --> 00:03:35,760
We'll open the floor you at three minutes. Let me say you speak your piece, let you go

40
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:42,580
under-rupted, and we'll go from there. So if you want to speak tonight, this is your chance.

41
00:03:42,580 --> 00:03:50,600
Unless the council wants to open it up later, this will be yacht to me, but we'll give

42
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,340
you two minutes to say a piece.

43
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,840
We have a few comments.

44
00:04:01,850 --> 00:04:02,630
I'm Kevin Morris.

45
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:06,670
I just want to compliment Mayor Bishop on that.

46
00:04:07,170 --> 00:04:12,230
I've been at Kevin in the cooperative fire meetings, and he's been there representing

47
00:04:12,230 --> 00:04:12,870
the battle.

48
00:04:12,870 --> 00:04:18,290
So you're doing an excellent job in trying to find out the answers, you're making asking

49
00:04:18,290 --> 00:04:24,870
good questions and representing trying to get answers for what the next thing you're

50
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:28,890
going to happen with bloody and the private land orders and stuff.

51
00:04:29,070 --> 00:04:30,430
So I want to just compliment you on that.

52
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:30,950
Thank you.

53
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:32,470
Thank you.

54
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:36,980
Thank you.

55
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:37,340
Anybody else?

56
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,300
I'm going to come in. I know that's from your agenda tonight. You've got a section on

57
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:45,780
there where you want to discuss emergency generators.

58
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:51,620
From the pumps. I just want to bring up the fact that I brought this in the budget hearing.

59
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:59,700
We're hoping one comment about the low discussion whatsoever is now all of a sudden

60
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:00,700
and emergency.

61
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,880
It's nice that we can help each other out, but I hear that all of us talk about

62
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:13,360
few rules. You see, the rules are jumping up and doing things at the last minute that should

63
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,940
have been taking care of months and years ago.

64
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:22,360
I wonder how many of us have prepared for any kind of

65
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:29,340
emergencies. You have any food on yourself, chip, and you get your house in a winter time. You have your

66
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:37,480
attack the tank in your car for gas, so you can leave, instead of having to stop for the service station in case you have to.

67
00:05:40,580 --> 00:05:48,460
I think port of leadership is looking forward to fingers that can have them and have them having to have them yet,

68
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:54,240
or things that have happened in the past that maybe haven't happened for a year, they can have them overnight.

69
00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:06,280
Any other comments?

70
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:19,660
I know there's nobody who offered any of the discussion that I had about the conduit and the power boxes that were mysteriously occurring on Main Street.

71
00:06:20,260 --> 00:06:38,840
And then where it says, and this is me, the question is that anyone knew what OEM OPMA was as there has been approval, well, specifically what I said was, isn't just a violation of the OEM meeting's path.

72
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:44,220
And then OPMA should be spelled out. People don't know what path it is or.

73
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Okay,

74
00:06:59,540 --> 00:06:59,980
thanks.

75
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,600
Give me a sprawl, yeah.

76
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,520
Make a visit, please.

77
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,920
We had a visit with the ward office.

78
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,320
We got us this elderly carman in the name of the ward.

79
00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:11,960
We were putting together a list of all the elderly people that,

80
00:07:12,980 --> 00:07:14,940
maybe if some number just comes,

81
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,660
they won't be able to get out of their house or work.

82
00:07:18,180 --> 00:07:20,640
We're trying to accumulate all these names and families

83
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:26,300
and assign somebody to check on and make sure that they are covered

84
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:29,780
if there is an emergency, rather fly or whatever it may be.

85
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,860
So this is a community effort, I think, that will be good for all of us to keep an eye on

86
00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:36,700
and be able to be clear in the community.

87
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:38,600
Thank you.

88
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,080
Any other comments tonight?

89
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:48,540
Yeah, yeah.

90
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:57,620
I just want to publicly make note of all the sacrifice and hard work that town people

91
00:07:57,620 --> 00:08:00,840
who have made hearing matter at this crisis we've had.

92
00:08:01,620 --> 00:08:06,720
It was just surprising how many people turn out from town

93
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,560
and try to help out their neighbor.

94
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,420
I just want publicly saying this meeting,

95
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,200
so it goes out.

96
00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:17,160
Thank all those who have worked so hard and built to you

97
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,180
and the clerks, the mayor, the council,

98
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,080
and all the hard work and effort they put into it.

99
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,000
I know there's a lot of time and effort,

100
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,280
and a lot of anxiety is gone throughout the community

101
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,790
and seeing the leadership that we've had

102
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:36,790
that put my mind at ease of the seriousness of them

103
00:08:37,130 --> 00:08:39,510
and knowing that we're taking care of them.

104
00:08:39,550 --> 00:08:41,390
I just want to publicly thank you guys

105
00:08:41,390 --> 00:08:44,650
and whoever in town did whatever they needed to do,

106
00:08:45,210 --> 00:08:45,510
basically.

107
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:57,880
Thank you.

108
00:08:58,020 --> 00:08:58,680
Thank you for those comments.

109
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,800
Next on our agenda is Ryan Madiz utility connection.

110
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:12,700
Ryan could not be here tonight, and he said the brother Kelly Vent was going to stand in

111
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:13,280
his stead.

112
00:09:15,620 --> 00:09:20,620
Kelly asked for our rules, we'll give you seven minutes, uninterrupted to present.

113
00:09:22,540 --> 00:09:23,780
How are that looks?

114
00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:34,180
I think he just told me to come here and he said he made a proposal and told me to let him

115
00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:35,980
know how the proposal went when he told me.

116
00:09:35,980 --> 00:09:47,530
Okay. Okay. So I believe we got an electronic version of a proposal on July 20th.

117
00:09:48,270 --> 00:09:52,250
That was the proposal I got. Now I was not sure that meaning.

118
00:09:53,230 --> 00:09:58,250
I'm assuming the councilor's got some work in the electronic proposal.

119
00:09:59,430 --> 00:10:02,750
Okay, so let

120
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:11,180
me just, let me just say this, and Kelly, I'll give you some time.

121
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:27,590
Let the council make a decision if that email proposal is going to stand or how we want to respond.

122
00:10:28,350 --> 00:10:35,470
So to be clear, the proposal was Ryan Bundy wants an electrical connection at that property outside of town.

123
00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:42,350
Okay, he had a couple of alternatives, and don't let me speak out of turn, but he had a couple of alternatives.

124
00:10:44,890 --> 00:10:48,310
One, he's like, well, there's water there, I want power there, it makes sense.

125
00:10:49,610 --> 00:10:57,350
That water was not issued to Ryan, it was not, I believe that property was sold with that water connection.

126
00:10:57,350 --> 00:11:07,330
His second proposal was, I'll just annex him, and that could, that's his prerogative

127
00:11:07,330 --> 00:11:14,610
to apply or appeal or request annexation. Those were the two, am I missing anything?

128
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:23,470
Those were the kind of two proposals he had as he put that forward. Any, am I missing anything

129
00:11:23,470 --> 00:11:23,730
Kelly?

130
00:11:23,730 --> 00:11:30,870
What kind of connection is it? There's a meter out of that property. For animals,

131
00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:37,610
or residential, or what kind of water connection is it? It's a town water tap, and for your

132
00:11:37,610 --> 00:11:46,870
background, years and years ago, there was a ride away exchanged by the town to several landowners

133
00:11:47,510 --> 00:11:49,870
to bring a pipe across their property.

134
00:11:50,810 --> 00:11:57,530
The town got easement access and laid that pipe in exchange for a tap right.

135
00:11:59,730 --> 00:12:01,870
Several of those tap rights have been exercised.

136
00:12:03,310 --> 00:12:05,530
Dusty and Diane had one of those tap rights.

137
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:13,650
They exercised it four years ago, Ish put it on the piece of property next to theirs or really

138
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:15,010
off the road next to their property.

139
00:12:15,010 --> 00:12:17,550
and that's how it sat for a couple of years.

140
00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:20,890
So it's a town cap right.

141
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,820
And there's a hydrant there now, right?

142
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,580
Being the worst you do, I believe.

143
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:30,680
Yes.

144
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:31,420
Yeah.

145
00:12:34,460 --> 00:12:36,920
Any discussion from the town council?

146
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:42,060
We don't, as I see it and help me,

147
00:12:43,380 --> 00:12:48,080
that may be something we want on the agenda.

148
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,660
us so people know what we're going to vote on so they can turn out and they can voice

149
00:12:52,660 --> 00:12:59,440
your opinion. As it stands right now our agenda shows that Ryan wants to make a proposal.

150
00:13:01,060 --> 00:13:06,060
So he mailed that in, we've stated that proposal to the best of our knowledge as we can

151
00:13:06,060 --> 00:13:11,360
and want to quickly print out and attach that proposal to our minutes. How

152
00:13:14,020 --> 00:13:15,100
does the council want to

153
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:22,000
do they want to respond? How do they want to respond? I think there's a proposal but making

154
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:32,360
a decision on that is different. And this council made a decision on that exact proposal

155
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:41,740
at one time, right? I mean, this council has a dreaded decision. If Ryan wants to apply for

156
00:13:41,740 --> 00:13:47,820
That's not going to happen just through this process, right?

157
00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:50,180
There's some other steps to take, to understand.

158
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:12,290
So we've already talked about this several months ago.

159
00:14:13,490 --> 00:14:17,130
And his first choice there of being out of town connection.

160
00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:19,830
Really, I think the whole council has said no.

161
00:14:20,810 --> 00:14:21,250
We do have.

162
00:14:21,950 --> 00:14:24,250
So I don't know why we need to look at that again.

163
00:14:24,250 --> 00:14:29,990
And the second choice there is an annexation choice, which is something that he would have

164
00:14:29,990 --> 00:14:38,570
to go through the process of, which I think that that's his right to do that, and see

165
00:14:38,570 --> 00:14:39,330
where it goes from there.

166
00:14:48,450 --> 00:14:56,990
So as I look at it, there's only one choice for him, and that's if he wants to pursue annexation

167
00:14:56,990 --> 00:14:58,550
to go that route.

168
00:15:00,210 --> 00:15:06,830
To get power from town. There's other alternatives, right? You can go off-grid, you can have

169
00:15:06,830 --> 00:15:12,430
this thing to win red, you can do many of the things, but connect the town. Well, and I'm just

170
00:15:12,990 --> 00:15:17,270
referring to his proposal, his letter on the 20th of July. Yep. The only thing we can control

171
00:15:17,270 --> 00:15:25,750
is metal town boundaries and resources, right? Not people out in county doing other things.

172
00:15:27,050 --> 00:15:31,070
And that's what the attorney has said we need to do.

173
00:15:32,590 --> 00:15:33,150
Yes.

174
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:39,620
Okay.

175
00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:45,130
We'll let Kelly take that back.

176
00:15:45,370 --> 00:15:53,650
But that's, we're effectively staying with our decision that we made several months ago.

177
00:15:57,460 --> 00:15:59,200
A verbal ball remains in his court.

178
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:06,790
Okay.

179
00:16:08,070 --> 00:16:10,170
Monica, let's go through our accounting reports.

180
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:24,560
Enderge Gas for the town, 7,000, 18,000, that is last month, I haven't got this month yet.

181
00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:35,180
UAMS, 11,177 dollars, 12 cents, such as the hour, another Emerge Gas, 675, that's the fire,

182
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,420
for the last month, Center Com 160, 43, that's for an internet.

183
00:16:39,420 --> 00:16:43,320
that come to forward to your friends.

184
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:47,640
And voices totaling $64 for sample.

185
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,060
Pixie power to separate invoices totaling $8.51,

186
00:16:52,780 --> 00:16:56,240
54 outages and system maintenance.

187
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,160
Whole waste $81 for the dumpster for July.

188
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:04,740
Just in Waman, $454 for legal.

189
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:14,020
some rise in engineering. This is a past, a past through that we had not paid

190
00:17:14,020 --> 00:17:20,840
Sunrise yet or $172 that has been passed on to the person who had the

191
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:28,220
inspection. Utah Division of Fleet Operations, quite a few charges or fire

192
00:17:28,220 --> 00:17:41,160
part cemetery. They told 384 and 97. Utah Tech Feeers Association 9750. That's the

193
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:48,840
theme for any description. Penny's tree removal to two charges on the same

194
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:55,600
invoice for $1,800. That's for removal of a tree at the park and tree clean-up

195
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:02,120
of the cemetery, express bill pay, $1.58, that's arki.

196
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:06,780
I'm going to also, it's written on here.

197
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,740
We have several invoices for Rover Lumber.

198
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:16,780
I have asked Polaris to make us a new inline and an outline

199
00:18:16,780 --> 00:18:19,340
for disaster mitigation.

200
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,880
They have not got that line made yet.

201
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:29,280
these charges to roll first will go on that line. I think they'll have it done

202
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:35,360
tomorrow. So I haven't made the check yet and there's also a reimbursement to

203
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:40,140
Andrew Blake for a pump that he purchased that will go in that same category.

204
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,620
So I've added them on the bottom so hopefully we can prove them tonight so that they

205
00:18:45,620 --> 00:18:49,320
don't have to wait. Can we talk about those? So I'm aware of two of the

206
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:56,240
for strategies. I have all the advances. Are they, is that total is 700

207
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,960
for change? No, it's all flooding. Yes, it is all flood. I double checked with

208
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,120
Andrew, one of them I wasn't sure about. It's for supplies for the sandbag

209
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:11,020
fillers, some different things that Andrew's needed for water system. Yeah, the

210
00:19:11,020 --> 00:19:18,080
water system. So it totals 72909 and I think there's about four and voices ish, but

211
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,460
But it's all those different suffice and things that have come up and then the reimbursement

212
00:19:22,460 --> 00:19:28,620
to Andrew for the pump was $2.12.43, so I added them on the bottom.

213
00:19:29,020 --> 00:19:36,080
So while we're paused here and we can talk about this length, there is a process to be reimbursed

214
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,260
for our expenses relative to the disaster.

215
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:47,340
It's not 100% guarantee, but there's a pretty good chance we're going to get all of our expenses

216
00:19:47,340 --> 00:19:53,920
is reimbursed and so Monica's trying to figure out how to track that in the system if we spend

217
00:19:53,920 --> 00:20:02,180
$700 we send that up to the state and they'll send that back to us so we're even, it's a net zero

218
00:20:02,180 --> 00:20:10,700
but we have to pay the bill and then we see reimbursed. So that's that process and we'll see that coming

219
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:19,160
or several other invoices relative to protecting the springs, protecting the well, in town work.

220
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,100
So we'll see some more of that coming in, but that's how that process in a nutshell will work.

221
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,380
We have some out $100 to make some $100 garbage extra and $100 to make a garbage of $100.

222
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:40,440
One of the original $1,500, and it's like $8,500.

223
00:21:01,930 --> 00:21:06,150
So, to be clear, go ahead, so on our copy, we don't have the road bill.

224
00:21:06,150 --> 00:21:07,010
You don't have the copy.

225
00:21:07,210 --> 00:21:08,650
I just wrote it on the one that we'll sign.

226
00:21:09,910 --> 00:21:15,250
And also, we haven't received the fire frontier bill, the emberage bills, or the UAMS bills.

227
00:21:15,250 --> 00:21:25,010
So we can, however, say that, so fire, fire frontier, fire frontier, fire in town,

228
00:21:25,250 --> 00:21:26,650
and bridge, and US.

229
00:21:34,350 --> 00:21:42,410
So there's the bill she read, including the reimbursements for ropers and Andrew Flakes

230
00:21:42,410 --> 00:21:48,490
pump plus frontier emberage in UAMs outstanding.

231
00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:55,900
I'll make a motion that we accept all those payments

232
00:21:57,660 --> 00:22:04,180
as you just outline. So we have a motion to pay the bills including rovers, a reimbursement

233
00:22:04,180 --> 00:22:09,220
Andrew Flake, the fire frontier, the fire emberage, the town emberage, and UMs.

234
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:10,800
Is that all of them?

235
00:22:11,380 --> 00:22:11,880
Yes.

236
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:12,360
Okay.

237
00:22:16,220 --> 00:22:16,700
All in favor?

238
00:22:17,220 --> 00:22:17,380
I.

239
00:22:18,140 --> 00:22:18,780
Motion passes.

240
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,340
Thank you.

241
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:28,720
Monica, thank you for helping us keep track of so much that now we're adding so much more.

242
00:22:35,790 --> 00:22:36,110
Okay.

243
00:22:36,550 --> 00:22:39,410
Next up our agenda is a flood mitigation update.

244
00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:52,690
So without trying to duplicate what we talked about on Saturday night, I'll go through and tell you a little bit about where we're at and what we're doing.

245
00:22:54,170 --> 00:22:59,090
First on my agenda is I've

246
00:23:02,190 --> 00:23:08,510
written a letter to the families of the helicopter pilots that crashed and lost their lives by this fire.

247
00:23:09,810 --> 00:23:20,650
I have them here tonight, I'm going to sign it, I'd like to include the town council as well and our town staff and make that available to everyone in the community.

248
00:23:21,570 --> 00:23:36,330
We have several blank pages, we can put behind them, the people are willing to, you're welcome to sign it, if you'd like to sign that, I will put it down to the post office tomorrow so people can, the art here tonight can stop in and sign it.

249
00:23:36,330 --> 00:23:41,750
It's small, it's a token, but we wanted to recognize them and think up to that.

250
00:23:43,390 --> 00:23:51,430
This effort is happening similarly in Fillmore, in Canache, on a reservation, and the county

251
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:52,810
commission is doing something similar.

252
00:23:53,690 --> 00:23:57,070
So just a gesture that that's what we're doing.

253
00:23:57,070 --> 00:24:00,270
So that is ongoing.

254
00:24:06,270 --> 00:24:10,830
Tracking the weather feverishly, trying to watch that.

255
00:24:11,630 --> 00:24:15,110
We should have similar weather to today, the rest of the week.

256
00:24:15,330 --> 00:24:18,710
The weekend, our chance for moisture goes up.

257
00:24:21,020 --> 00:24:22,660
We'll see a chance Thursday.

258
00:24:23,380 --> 00:24:24,820
It goes up a little bit on Friday.

259
00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:26,460
It goes up a little bit more on Saturday.

260
00:24:27,820 --> 00:24:35,440
for just a 10th of an inch. It goes up for a quarter of an inch, a little bit

261
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,680
on Friday, a little bit more on Saturday. So as we get through the week into the

262
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:46,580
weekend, our chance of rain, accumulating rain, wedding rain goes up. And I think

263
00:24:46,580 --> 00:24:52,020
we'll probably see these cycles. As I spoke with meteorologists, usually we're

264
00:24:52,020 --> 00:24:58,180
winding down in our mom's funeral cycle right we see that tapering off they

265
00:24:58,180 --> 00:25:04,720
think that's gonna carry on into September so so that's something you need to

266
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:11,160
do where I'll try to watch the fire this morning was reported at 129,741

267
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:18,420
acres that's it and they're at 84% contained they've remapped it but the fire

268
00:25:18,420 --> 00:25:24,020
air hasn't grown in size in about six days, right? So they feel pretty comfortable about

269
00:25:25,180 --> 00:25:32,100
the fire. They felt comfortable about the fire when it was 6,000 acres down south of Kanosh

270
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,460
and the large dust devil picked some heat up, carried it several hundred feet across the

271
00:25:37,460 --> 00:25:44,760
line and dropped it and then it ran 12 miles. So the fire team that's here will stay here

272
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,960
through Wednesday. On Thursday morning, we'll transfer it to a local, the

273
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,960
Fix Lake National Force to pick that up. Local firefighters will take that

274
00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:01,140
back over. So you'll see much fewer people but those are going to be here

275
00:26:01,140 --> 00:26:08,040
watching. So that's what's going on with the fire. As a community, we still have

276
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:13,560
sand bags. We still have sand. We still have bags. We're keeping a reserve.

277
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:21,220
Haley of 17 to 20 pallets we kind of flagged off in case we need to pick those up

278
00:26:21,220 --> 00:26:25,460
with a four-cliff or some equipment and take it somewhere where it's breached.

279
00:26:27,220 --> 00:26:36,720
Sun grow down here west of Fillmore and swallow farms delivered 25 more pallets

280
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:44,300
of sandbags. Alan Erickson unloaded those tonight. So we've got some more in. I've had

281
00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:49,960
a group at Utah County contact me today and ask if they can deliver some more sandbags.

282
00:26:50,540 --> 00:26:54,160
That's nothing more than a service project on their behalf. They just want to help.

283
00:26:54,940 --> 00:26:57,920
So we will see additional sandbags come in.

284
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,900
On Sunday, I didn't see anybody out making sandbags.

285
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:08,380
I wasn't around much today, but I didn't see much activity there, which tells me people

286
00:27:08,380 --> 00:27:11,760
are starting to feel a little bit comfortable with where they're at, but we haven't seen

287
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,040
any dirty water.

288
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:23,100
I'm okay if we never ever ever do, but that's going to happen at some point, and so maybe when

289
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:29,880
we start to see where our weaknesses are, we may see more sandbags being placed, or other

290
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:37,680
more aggressive actions take place like concrete barriers or dozer line or

291
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,700
trenches or ditches or burns so that's what's going on.

292
00:27:44,020 --> 00:27:47,600
I have learned that what

293
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:53,110
comes out what used to come out of everything out of Meta Creek and

294
00:27:53,110 --> 00:28:01,210
everything out of Walker all met effectively at dead man's point and that has

295
00:28:01,210 --> 00:28:05,470
been changed and I sure at some point they'll change it back that took some

296
00:28:05,470 --> 00:28:10,630
heavy equipment so walkers nothing out of Walker should come into dead man as it

297
00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:15,850
stands today I think in a couple hours of work with some heavy equipment that

298
00:28:15,850 --> 00:28:22,190
could be changed back but right now Walker is being diverted south of town so that

299
00:28:22,190 --> 00:28:25,250
leaves meadow creek in play for us.

300
00:28:27,410 --> 00:28:30,270
The BLM did do some work in the overflow

301
00:28:30,270 --> 00:28:38,310
channel to the north coming out of out of the June Hill diversion and those

302
00:28:38,310 --> 00:28:47,270
homeowners north of town feel a little bit better about the chances with that

303
00:28:47,270 --> 00:28:55,210
work the bill was also done all their work in the foot hills with their diversion structures

304
00:28:55,210 --> 00:29:03,990
or we had city talk about erosion control structures. I am meeting with the NRCS on Wednesday.

305
00:29:04,870 --> 00:29:12,350
We're going to do a field trip and we'll be looking at some long-term planning and projects and funding

306
00:29:12,850 --> 00:29:21,330
coming from the NRCS to help us be best prepared for what may come in the next several years.

307
00:29:22,410 --> 00:29:29,330
I think, I don't know, but I think just because we get through this monsoon season, unscathed, that's not the end of it.

308
00:29:30,050 --> 00:29:34,310
I think we're going to have spring runoff for several years, so we're going to have an impact.

309
00:29:35,670 --> 00:29:41,090
the Monroe Canyon fire that happened in 2025 saw significant flooding last weekend.

310
00:29:42,130 --> 00:29:47,470
So that fires a year old and they're still seeing mud and sludge come off the

311
00:29:47,470 --> 00:29:53,550
mountain and calling chaos on both sides of that mountain, both on the Monroe

312
00:29:53,550 --> 00:29:59,230
side and on the Bear Valley Cusharam side. So I think if we extrapolate that to us we

313
00:29:59,230 --> 00:29:59,970
and you can see in the...
