MAYOR Weston - leaving water running in houses to avoid freezing pipes The town council discussed the possibility of advising residents to leave a small trickle of water running to prevent pipes from freezing during the unusually cold winter. Mayor Weston proposes making an announcement recommending this practice for residents. The council agrees to this approach. Action Item - Lisa: post a flyer making this recommendation in the Post Office, Dee's Station, and Town Bulletin Board. b. Hal Wesson - City Right of Way on 100 South Hal Weston reports difficulties in obtaining a survey for his property, mentioning issues with surveyors and inaccuracies in a preliminary survey. Hal discussed the issue of a 5-foot setback from his house to the city's right of way. Hal's grain bin is 90% in the city right of way and 10ft of his barn is also in the city right of way. These structures have been in their current location for over 70 years. Hal also mentioned that his neighbor has a similar issue with their sheds. He expressed concern about future repairs and building permits if the setback is not adjusted. Hal also discussed the history of the property lines and the discrepancies in the surveys. He suggested that the city should consider reducing the right of way from 132 feet to 90 feet to accommodate his concerns and provide a proper setback for his house and barn. Action Item - Duane: P&Z agenda for next month, look at property and the issue, investigate how the right of way and Hal's property are recorded with the County, make a recommendation to the town council c. Eric Wamsley - Water Eric wanted to know what the cost is to connect to the town water system. It was explained to him that there is a $5000 connection fee, plus water share that is turned over to the city, and a water impact fee of $16,333.55. He also expressed concern if you don't have a water share to turn over to the town, can you buy into the system. Action Item: Lisa -Agenda Item for February 12, 2025, work meeting - buying into the water system Eric expressed concerns about the affordability of living in Laketown for younger generations. He noted that only 23 out of 135 homes in Laketown have children in school, suggesting that the area might be pricing out young families. He also pointed out that only 8 out of 50 employees in the school district live in Laketown, indicating that the area might not be attractive to those who work in Laketown. Eric suggested several potential solutions, including decreasing lot sizes, allowing accessory dwelling units, and possibly having two different water hookup rates for full-time residents and secondary homes. He also mentioned the possibility of allowing homes along the south shore of the lake to hook onto Laketown's city water system to help pay for the system. Eric feels Laketown is becoming the next retirement town. Laketown needs to make it more affordable so young families can move here. e. Rick Larsen - 2016 prepaid water hook up and impact fees Rick discussed the issue with the prepaid water hook up he purchased in 2016. He had paid for the prepaid water hook up in good faith, believing it would be used for a future home and he would only be subject to the code at that time. However, the code was changed in 2021, stating each hook up at time of submitting for a building permit will need to turn over to the town a water right and pay the water impact fee. Rick argued that he should be exempted from this impact fee and surrendering a water share, as he had purchased the water hookup prior to 2021. The town is still trying to figure out a fair solution for all those who had a prepaid for a water hook up prior to 2021. Action Item: Lisa - Water Issues on the agenda for the February 12, 2025, Town Council Work Meeting 10. Action Items from Previous Meeting a.

Mayor Weston asked for a motion to approve the Dattage building permit clearance form. Council Member Hodges the motion, second by Council Member Willis. The motion passed unanimously. Action item: Lisa - submit both signed clearance forms to the County Duane brought to the attention of the Town Council that the County Recorder is allowing lot splits within the city limits and is not following Laketown Subdivision Rules. These splits are being recorded without the town of Laketown or Laketown Planning and Zoning being contacted by either the landowner or County. Duane has spoken to the County Recorder on this issue. Duane expressed his concern and frustration with trying to work with the current County Recorder. c. Water Updates - Delora Jeff will be attending the Rural Water Meetings at the end of February in St. George, Dan Stringham will not be attending this year.

It was noted that the Hunter and Hatfield prepaid water hook ups were assigned to lots purchased from Cardon Willis. The following outline of options for prepurchase water hook ups that will be voted on by the Town Council at the next meeting. Laketown Water Hookup Options for Prepaid Customers In light of Laketown's increased fees and the necessity for water rights/shares for new water connections, this document outlines the options available to individuals who prepaid for water hookups approximately ten years ago. Option 1: Complete Construction by Deadline - Eligibility: Only for individuals who prepaid or who own a parcel subject to the 'prepay.' - Requirement: Obtain a building permit by no later than August 31, 2025, and begin paying the Standard Monthly Service Rate as of the date the building is approved by the Town Council. - Benefit: No additional water-related costs if construction is completed within 18 months from the date the permit is issued. - Note: If the home is not completed within the normal timeframes allowed by the building inspector and the building inspector requires a new building permit, then the current fees will be charged. Option 2: Refund Option - Offer: Request a refund of the $1,000 prepayment. - Future Connections: Any future water connections will be subject to the rules and fees in place at the time of obtaining a building permit. Option 3: Apply Prepayment to Future Fees - Non-refund Option: For those who choose not to receive a refund and fail to obtain a building permit by August 31, 2025. - Application of Prepayment: The $1,000 prepayment can be applied towards future water hookup fees. O Example: If the water hookup fee at the time of building is $6,000, the individual will pay $5,000 after the $1,000 credit is applied. - Additional Fees: All other applicable fees at the time of construction must be paid. Action Item: Brandon - check with lawyer that these options and wording are correct Action Item: Lisa - March 5 Agenda Item Prepaid Water Hook up options. - Handling lots without Water rights. The town council discussed the issue of lots without water rights and how to handle them. They agree that single dwelling homes should be allowed to buy into the water system for a fee, while subdivisions should be required to bring their own water rights. It was agreed by the Town council that a reasonable fee to charge would be $8000 to buy into the system if no water right is available. Action Item: Lisa - check with Kendall on adding this to fee schedule, new ordinance, public meeting - Fee to shut off water The Town Council felt like in the past there was a fee to shut off water at meter by the Town.

History of Our Area - Laketown Schools
Nancy Greer Johnson, an elderly woman, taught the first school held in Laketown in 1869 located on the Thomson lot south of the public square. It was held for three months of the year in a dirt floored log cabin.
In 1874 Joseph Thompson Cheney built a two room frame house on his lot east toward the canyon. Then he put a stock of groceries, staples, dry good, and some hardware into the log how. These he sold for cash, grain, butter, or eggs which he freighted to Evanston, Wyoming.
While in Evanston on one of these trips he met a young man by the name of Robert Spence, well educated with a brilliant mind, but jest then greatly in need of a change of climate and kind friend. Mr. Cheney brought him back with him and from then on he taught a school in Laketown with the exception of the years 1875 and 1876, when he taught in Woodruff.
The school term after Mr. Spence came was extended to six months a year. He taught advanced classes in mathematics, English, history, civil government, rhetoric, orthography and public speaking. Word of the fame of this man's work spread throughout the valley and pupils came to attend his school from Paris, Bloomington, St. Charles and other places. Many adults were enrolled including: Joseph Irwin, George N. Weston, Eliza Kearl Johnson and others.
During the time of his classical work, so rarely to be known in such primitive surroundings, a standard was set towards education that brought unlimited good and and advancement to the people of Laketown and to all those who were able to take advantage of his tutoring.

Obituary-Mildred Bragg Phelps
Mildred Phelps passed away in Logan, Utah on Sunday, February 23, 2025. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at 10:00 am in the Schwab-Matthews Mortuary Chapel with a viewing prior to the services at 9:30 am. Interment will be in the Montpelier Cemetery.
Mildred (Millie) was born on March 30, 1929, in Woodcliff, Georgia to parents Corene McMillan Bragg and James Horace Bragg. She had five siblings, two brothers and three sisters, all of whom preceded her in death. She is survived by two children, Sherry Shelton (spouse David Shelton – deceased) and Stephen Phelps (spouse Lanitta Phelps), 6 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and 7 great-great grandchildren.
She moved from the Georgia country farm to Atlanta to attend business school after graduating early from high school as valedictorian and lived in a boarding house for women. It was in Atlanta that she met her future husband, Gerald Phelps (Jerry) who was in the army stationed at Fort McPherson. After Jerry was discharged from the army they were married in Atlanta and moved to Montpelier, Idaho. They had been married for 76 years when Jerry preceded her in death by fourteen months. They were inseparable in life, and they are now together again.
Millie, always a southern lady at heart, took the leap with her new husband and moved sight unseen to his hometown, Montpelier, Idaho. For her it was like being in a foreign country. She still spoke “southern” not to mention the very different and sometimes harsh climate adjustment. It was a difficult transition but one she overcame with grace and determination.
Millie was a woman of many talents (seamstress, gardener, decorator, entertainer, homemaker, cook, caregiver) and excelled in all. She was very savvy about real estate and the various businesses that she and Jerry had. She was responsible for instigating most of the property investments over the years. Most importantly she was a mother and grandmother, a role that she took very seriously and lovingly. She remembered birthdays, holidays, school events and special occasions and did her best to make each of them feel special. She loved family more than anything and was always the one who kept track of and in touch with a multitude of nieces and nephews who were scattered around the country.
Millie was a product of her generation, and it was incomprehensible to her grandchildren and great grandchildren that many items in the kitchen were still used after their expiration date. It was hard for them to understand that sell by and use by dates are two different measurements. Not to waste anything, to her at times expiration dates and refrigerate after opening were only suggestions.
Millie was a lifelong supporter of various humanitarian and charitable causes. She was involved with the inception of Garden City library and was a very active member of Bear Lake Watch. She was an avid reader and in her earlier years enjoyed skiing, snowmobiling and boating. She loved to travel, and she and Jerry traveled the world. Besides seeing most of the US, together they traveled to many countries in Europe and Africa. Their travels also took them to China, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and Indonesia.
She touched so many lives over the years. She will be deeply missed, dearly loved and will be welcomed with open arms in heaven.
