Ed Carlson.

13
00:01:42,810 --> 00:01:43,630
Ed Carlson.

14
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:49,850
Anyone else present at the District Office, Reagan?

15
00:01:50,570 --> 00:01:50,990
No.

16
00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:56,590
now. And is there anyone present on the call? No public

17
00:01:56,590 --> 00:01:57,290
president call.

18
00:01:59,370 --> 00:01:59,930
Sounds good.

19
00:02:02,910 --> 00:02:06,030
Okay. We'll jump in here. Are there new? Are there any

20
00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:11,930
new disclosures of potential conflicts of interest pertaining to the agenda items today?

21
00:02:15,330 --> 00:02:22,430
I have none. Okay. Hearing none, we will move on to public input. There's no public online

22
00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:28,710
or in person. So we will skip that and move to the consent agenda. Two items on the consent agenda.

23
00:02:29,410 --> 00:02:35,270
This afternoon, the first are the minutes from the December 1st, 2025 board meeting.

24
00:02:35,870 --> 00:02:40,690
The second are the claims totaling $2,749.94.

25
00:02:44,750 --> 00:02:48,030
If there are no changes, we would take a motion to approve

26
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:48,750
the minutes.

27
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:52,330
What a motion to approve the minutes.

28
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:57,990
Is there a second? Thank you. All those in favor?

29
00:02:59,150 --> 00:03:12,110
All right, motion passes, next are the claims totaling $2,749.94, if there are no questions

30
00:03:12,110 --> 00:03:14,550
a motion in a second to approve the claims.

31
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,420
I'll make a motion to approve the claims

32
00:03:19,420 --> 00:03:29,580
of $2,749.94. All second. Thank you. All those in favor?

33
00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:39,300
All right. I do not believe that we have any public hearings scheduled for this afternoon. Brent,

34
00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:46,880
any the year whereup? That's correct. Okay. Moving on, we have no administrative matters. So we will

35
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,880
jump into the review of the March 31st on audited financial statements.

36
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:00,980
Starting with balance sheet,

37
00:04:00,980 --> 00:04:12,580
you can see the district has $7,653.34 in the checking account. Accounts payable has a total

38
00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:24,060
of $5,735.12, which leaves you with an available fund balance of $1,918.22 cents.

39
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:27,480
Moving into

40
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:34,220
the general fund. You can see that the district received ten cents in interest income throughout

41
00:04:34,220 --> 00:04:43,360
the first quarter. Really just two expenditures, $1,624 for accounting, $457 for district management,

42
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:53,020
total expenditures are sitting at $2,081 against the budget of $30,000. District has received

43
00:04:53,020 --> 00:05:01,120
a developer advance just shy of $4,000 against a budget of $30,000. That leaves an ending

44
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,180
fund balance of $1,918.22 cents.

45
00:05:08,630 --> 00:05:12,970
That's it for the financial statements. Are there any

46
00:05:12,970 --> 00:05:13,590
questions.

47
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:24,050
No, I'll make a motion to approve the, um,

48
00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:28,560
visit the

49
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,880
back that make a motion to approve

50
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:43,080
the March 31st, 2026, uh, and all the financial statements.

51
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,000
All second, closing

52
00:05:50,270 --> 00:05:52,490
favor. All right.

53
00:05:53,890 --> 00:05:58,210
Okay. That brings us to legal matters. Brent, I'll turn it over you.

54
00:05:58,590 --> 00:06:12,290
Thank you just to report to you on what the procedure is for changing the name just to remind everybody when these districts were created they were referred to statutorily as local districts.

55
00:06:13,010 --> 00:06:24,030
And then a year ago, or maybe it's been two years now, a legislature decided they needed to correct that and I think it's from changing from local district to special districts.

56
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:39,150
There, the reason being, I believe, is that in the bonding world when districts are issuing municipal bonds to finance projects, the bond market is familiar with the term special districts are not familiar with the term local districts.

57
00:06:42,250 --> 00:06:52,010
And so the problem is, so they changed it, the problem is there are different, lots of different types of districts in the statute, one of which is a special service district.

58
00:06:52,830 --> 00:06:56,030
So everybody gets confused about this because of the names are all so similar.

59
00:06:56,250 --> 00:07:04,350
But my thinking was we ought to change the name to a special district rather than the Wheeler rather than a local district.

60
00:07:04,350 --> 00:07:15,230
So the proposed name change would be from Wheeler Basin local district to Wheeler Basin special district to comply to be to bring the district in harmony with the statutory change.

61
00:07:15,730 --> 00:07:30,260
So the procedure for that is that to the first thing we have to do Nick is schedule for our next meeting of public hearing and that will have to be advertised in advance, I believe, but but the statutes.

62
00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:37,380
The statute isn't clear on what that public hearing notice has to be, whether it needs

63
00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:40,660
to be something special or just notice it on the agenda.

64
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,480
It looks like the latter, but I will get back to you, Nick, on what the public notice

65
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,520
has to be for the hearing.

66
00:07:48,460 --> 00:07:48,680
Okay.

67
00:07:49,980 --> 00:07:54,400
But we've got plenty of time, but I think we'll schedule a public hearing on the agenda

68
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,840
for next time and the matter will be changing the name of the district from local to special.

69
00:08:01,980 --> 00:08:06,780
assuming no one comes or even if people do come and the board decides they want to change

70
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:11,860
the name, notwithstanding any public input, then I will have a resolution prepared for

71
00:08:11,860 --> 00:08:18,180
you to approve that as a resolution of the board changing the name from the local district

72
00:08:18,180 --> 00:08:23,760
to special district, I will then need to prepare some documents that are filed with the Lieutenant

73
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:30,680
governor's office on the state of Utah to effectuate that change and then we will receive

74
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,500
back these certificate of name change from the town of governor's office, following

75
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:41,240
which that with the resolution will need to be recorded in the county or counties in which

76
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:48,240
the district is in and that's why I ask for I guess so maybe if you could just double check and

77
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,880
and make sure that the districts are just in Weber County.

78
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:55,720
Okay, only because if it includes a piece of land

79
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,040
in Morgan County, I have to file these,

80
00:08:58,180 --> 00:08:59,580
record these things in both counties.

81
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,940
And the statute says until they're recorded

82
00:09:01,940 --> 00:09:03,700
in both counties, we can't function

83
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,740
as a district under the new name.

84
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:10,020
You see, so if you just let me know, Reagan,

85
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:12,620
just double check that, however you can, maybe it.

86
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,280
Oh, double check, I'm pretty sure.

87
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,920
I'm sure I think they're in both because I remember you

88
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:23,220
Send anything's both in Morgan and in weaver

89
00:09:23,220 --> 00:09:27,860
Well double check for you just double check for me so that I know whether I need to record in both county

90
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:29,740
That's that's all I needed

91
00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:33,920
And maybe I can check my files, but but

92
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,060
I've always reprieved relied on the engineers to tell me that kind of stuff because they can read the leave it's right

93
00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:40,180
Okay

94
00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:42,620
Okay, so that's the procedure.

95
00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:45,040
It's boys, once we have the public hearing

96
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,300
and I prepare all the documents,

97
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,540
I take care of them over there.

98
00:09:49,180 --> 00:09:50,860
We won't involve you except to hold

99
00:09:50,860 --> 00:09:52,300
the public hearing in a doctor resolution.

100
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:53,740
We'll do that in June.

101
00:09:57,340 --> 00:09:58,920
That's all I have on that matter.

102
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:01,680
And I don't have the other,

103
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:04,320
then the next matter is acknowledge appointments

104
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,500
of Davey, Raspberry, Kern to the board.

105
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:09,660
I thought we did that last time, Nick,

106
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,480
but if we didn't, then we'd be too.

107
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,560
Please lower them in, but I don't think we acknowledge them.

108
00:10:18,740 --> 00:10:23,640
Okay. Well, I thought I think swearing in with knowledge.

109
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,120
But let's just say that we welcome Eric and Davey to the board.

110
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:36,960
Eric's been re-appointed. Davey is new and they've been sworn in and everything's functioning now.

111
00:10:37,140 --> 00:10:38,500
So consider that done.

112
00:10:39,420 --> 00:10:41,760
We appreciate you acknowledging us finally.

113
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,800
We're feeling hard done by it.

114
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,420
We ignored you last time.

115
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:45,960
We love you.

116
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:47,420
We'll never be lonely.

117
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,860
It's deep cuts.

118
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,120
Yeah, you know, it's hurtful, but you'll get over it.

119
00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:56,000
It'll be OK.

120
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,760
All right, that's all I have there.

121
00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:01,360
OK, and Eric.

122
00:11:04,180 --> 00:11:04,740
Sounds good.

123
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,600
Then with that, I'll make a motion to adjourn.

124
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,120
the meeting at 2.27 p.m.

125
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:15,060
Second that motion.

126
00:11:17,870 --> 00:11:18,650
All in favor?

127
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:19,990
Aye.

128
00:11:21,770 --> 00:11:22,350
All right.

129
00:11:22,490 --> 00:11:22,970
Thanks, everyone.

130
00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:23,910
We are adjourned.

131
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:26,800
Okay, we need to wait.

132
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:27,520
three minutes.
