Bring in a water share per lot or the equivalent and an impact fee. A water share is $12,500. You don’t have to bring in a water share for every home, but several homes may come per share.

Canal information is a little different. They have to transfer at point of diversion of the canals.

Martell wanted to talk about STR with an idea for Affordable Housing. Much discussion was held about this. The City talked about whose responsibility is this. Is it government or people with property? Could there be a fee on STR that the government could purchase the property and it would then be purchased by the homeowner?

Discussion about a road next to the Pickleville Store. Dustin Hansen owns the store. He wants to build employee housing. Or are there other possibilities?
