-	Need to have the availability to use credit cards next year.
-	Kris talked about saving seats. Some think this should not be done.
-	Eldon noted 800 cars with an average of 3.5 people per car per his calculations there would have been 2800 people in attendance. The weather was good, so the crowd was big. 
-	Per the mayor, in order to add more seats, it will take some engineering to add more seats above the stock on Southeast side. There may be some space to add a wedge of seats between the two new sets of bleachers added last year. 
-	Eldon noted that we had a great rodeo but there were complaints regarding over selling rodeo tickets and it being too crowded. 
-	List row and the number on the tickets and seats per the mayor

-	Dan-Purchase insulation cap for Esterholdt's-Not done.
-	Eldon/Alice-Rodeo arena repair update. Alice sent the invoices to the user with no response. Mayor will contact this individual.
-	Eldon/Alice/Heidi-Concession stand electricity. The lights were fixed with a new breaker. The electrician suggested that the breaker and meter should be replaced.

Max Boyer via Zoom began at 7:45pm.
Max addressed the council stating that he does not have enough water pressure to run his sprinkler system. He would like to move his meter up on his property. Jeff Brimhall has reviewed the pressure and confirmed they don't have enough pressure. Discussion was held regarding the size of the line. Max would like a 2-inch line. Mayor asked if there is enough pressure with increasing to a 2-inch line. Mayor said the cost involved would be to have two holes dug. Box and meter would be the same. Mayor and council gave approval to move forward. *Action Item-Jeff to provide a bid to do the work.  Mayor stated that it's not the city's responsibility to pay for the costs to move the meter. Max is asking for the city to pay to have one of the holes dug. Eldon wants further discussion on Max moving from a 3/4 in to one inch meter. Are we going to set this precedence? Max to work with Jeff to get the cost before they move forward. Dan was asked for his input. Max read from the code. Dan said that Max has a one-inch meter and Boyers have more pressure than anyone in town. Debbie states she is using too much water because they don't have enough pressure.  Town is responsible for the meter and homeowner is responsible from there. Eldon stated that if they have a one-inch meter he has no problem with them moving the meter to their property.
Action: Mayor asked for a Motion to approve the Boyer's to move their meter with the caveat that there needs to be a written agreement in place that the Boyers are responsible from the shut off valve to their home and the city and has permission to access the property to the meter to do any meter repairs. Brandon made the motion. Eldon seconded the motion.  Motion carried unanimously.

Gary McKee arrived at 8:09pm, Dan Stringham arrived at 8:11pm. Debbie Boyer left the meeting at 8:10pm.

Josh Oldman joined the meeting via Zoom at 8:32pm. 

Discussion began with Gary stating that they would like to move forward with option #4 (per a letter to Laketown dated April 18, 2023, from Sunrise).
Mayor asked about the right of way. Gary asked if they could move forward with option #4. Eventually, they will need to get the property owner's permission. Eldon noted that Gary needs to be aware of where the Laketown irrigation line is located. Discussion took place regarding developing a 10 year pioneer agreement. Scott will propose the rate. Mayor is OK with the pioneer agreement as long as it's reasonable. Scott Archibald has experience with this.



ACTION: Eldon made the motion to approve Option #4 and establish a pioneer agreement for 10 years contingent upon landowners.  Landowners need to be researched further but might be Hal Weston, Lamborn, Gomez, Brad Willis. Motion seconded by Brandon. Motion carried unanimously.
Continuation of Action Items From Previous Meeting:
-	Brandon-Contact Justin RE document for Hal Weston. Not Done.
-	Brandon-Check with Garden City about road repair: Garden City did the slurry because they could not get anyone to do the chip seal. Slurry lasts 3-5 years chip seal lasts 5-7 years. Chip seal is more expensive. Mayor feels we may not be able to get it done this year. The plan will be to complete this by the end of next summer. *Action Item-Brandon to make calls to be sure this gets done in the spring of 2024.
-	Alice/Council-List of residence that pre-paid for water hook-ups. How to move forward. Dallas Clark, Rick Larsen, Gary McKee, Dan Stringham. About 15 years ago when the water impact fees were raised: Alice questioned the council why it's important to confirm the list-It's important because they should be paying a monthly water fee. *Action Item-Alice to continue to look.

COUNCIL BUSINESS: 
Planning & Zoning- Chairman Duane Robinson
-	Subdivision Ordinance Update: Alice, Duane and Brandon are continuing to meet with Kendall to finish this ordinance.
-	Charles Nak contacted Duane. Their home has partially been built on the Robinson property. They need to adjust the home boundaries. Robinsons are willing to so a trade. The home is on a little smaller plot than an acre. Duane asked the mayor and council to see if this is ok. Permission granted.

-	Scott Johnson will come into P&Z meeting next month to rebuild his barn with same footprint. 
-	Steve Meyers came in for possible shed. This was covered above.
-	Michael Fuhriman attended the last P& Z meeting to discuss building a cabin. His contractor contacted Duane. This property is next to a road that has questions about ownership of the road. It's either a county road, a city road or is owned by the cemetery. This issue needs to be worked through before his building permit clearance form can be processed. P&Z did not feel comfortable giving the building permit clearance form due to issues with the said road. Michael contacted the county (Marilyn) and she stated this road is a city road, however the Pugmire's don't agree. Property owners need to figure out who owns the road and come back to the P&Z.
*Action Item-Brandon to find out if we have been getting money for this road and contact our attorney and Marilyn to determine who in fact owns this road.

Approval of minutes-Approved for Aug. 15 & 2

SW Townhomes 195 units. Tyson Lund in house manager for pools and park. Quinn’s comments-Set backs are a little short of the 25’ . These are private roads so they don’t feel they should be held to city requirements. Agreement with next door property owners for water and sewer is in place. There will be a bulk meter for the project. There will be secondary water with water shares from the canal company. Brad Davis suggested they work with the canal company. Transfer the shares for the secondary shares. Two forms of egress, ingress. The City road is not up to handling 500-800 cars using the facility. Tyson said that perhaps they can help with paving with the city. The interior roads will be asphalted. Scot discussed the dumpster issue. Wetland delineation does not meet the requirement. Wes suggested that the determination needs to present at final filing on the six acres. Because there is ground water the concern is that water will travel. The ground water is a problem due to seasonal water levels. Wes feels strongly that they are asking for trouble for building on all of the property. The P & Z needed to have all 4 members present vote as a quorum to pass the motion. Wes motioned to get a survey from the army Corp of engineers to show the wetland delineation and that the development work with the City to pave part of Pickleville Parkway to West side of his property. Motion passed.

Discussion of Fell subdivision 94 lots Lance Anderson. The development are proposing two accesses. Lot sizes, and ? 2.5 acres are in the non- buildable area 25% steep slopes or 30% were reviewed. Lot requirements are found in 11 E 95 in the ordinances. The open space will be private. The Fell will pave their roads. 12% road for 1,000 feet is allowed because it is a private road. Two entrances in developmental agreements will be shown in final plats. Preliminary Plat Motion approved.

 

Quinn Dance (engineer) suggested that Hillside Estates should not have the wording of Cluster development. The commission will review that ordinance.

Harbor view 950 East Dr. to change from 7 to 14 condos. Some changes on the plats need to be recorded. What changes for water usage? What are the parking issues? Parking under the condo is 37’. Will need to change addresses. Glen said there are different fire codes for the changes and impact fees will be reviewed.

John Holman-Bear Lake Watch

 I hope everyone got to enjoy Labor Day at the Lake! Well if July was a dry month August certainly made up for it. The graph is of the current water year to date and shows the Upper Bear region preciptation is 129% of the 20 yr average. August precipitation alone was at 199% of average...that is 2.4" of water (avg is 1.6" water).

 

And September to date has kept the trend going with another 1.1" of water since Sept 1st (vs 0.5" avg.). September averages 2.3" of water so the month is off to a good start.
