Co. Abeyta: last week met with maintenance and Division of Drinking Water. We started at the treatment plant and they were impressed with things. Also, took them to see the reservoir and they were very impressed with our water storage. They did go thru the treatment plant and asked Bert a lot of questions and was very impressed with his answers. Looked over the holding tanks and there were a few issues that we already have taken care of. Overall it was great, very proud to be a part of this. On the canopies at the park the supplies will be picked up.

Mayor states that on the topic of the reservoir we did have visitors up there memorial weekend that left trash up there. Co. Abeyta states that there was also some kayaking going on up there. This is not a private lake for the property owners. Mayor suggests some extra patrolling this summer up there. This is some of the reasons cannot use the lake.

Public comment:

Patty Fisher contacted her daughter about advertising for community daze. She said that her daughter agreed to do $300 worth of free advertising. Patty has her contact information if anyone wants to do a face to face interview.

Del Dickey presents council with some flyers for the poker run that they will have in July. This ride will be televised on our local county stations. They do have some good prizes for this run. May need some help that day at the park and possibly a couple extra people for card stations. It will be an 85-mile ride which will take about 7-10 hours to do the ride. They did have to cancel the original ride they scheduled for June 10th. On August 12th, there will be a big horseshoe tournament. Co. Holt suggests that he also contact Chad Booth with AYL to see if they would like to be a part of this. They are always looking for new areas to cover.

Tracey Stratton on the BMX track we need to talk to ECDC to see if they can shorten it up a bit. Would also like to make another track for the motorized bikes. Co. Holt states that we did try this at one time to redo the track and there was a lot of resistance from the public and that is why we have not done anything. So just be prepared for some resistance from the public. Mayor states that if they can come up and help out with this we would not have a problem with it.

Co. Holt asks if we found any info on the kiosk at the junction. Mayor states that he will find the drawing to see if the crew can do it.

Old business: Community Daze. We are doing ok. We are getting the materials for the covers on the pavilion. Co. Robinett states that we need to have the crew check on our tables to see if we will have enough to place up at the park. Carbon high band may possibly be here for the parade at community daze. Also, having trouble getting a hold of Miss Carbon County. For the scouts, they need to get a hold or Larry and Tyler. Other than that, things are moving along.

Mayor states that himself, Co. Abeyta and Co. Avery met with the Power Plant on the water agreement. The power plant feels that they have some ownership in the 10” line. Mayor states that they do not they just helped with repairs. Rusty also commented about things in the original agreement. Jeremy states that there was not an agreement, not sure what he is talking about. Jerry stated that if the city would like to get rid of the 2 cents per thousand they would up the transmission fee to $4,000. Co. Robinett states that she would like to see the difference in their power sales from 10 years ago. Jeremy states that as a private company they do not have to provide that information. Mayor states that they did use a lot of city water during the drought. Co. Robinett states that even with the $4,000 per month flat rate we will still be losing…Mayor states that they will still be using city water. Jeremy states that anything over their allotted amount we could charge the $4,000 and anything over that would have to be handled thru a different rate structure. Mayor states that the diversion 2 spring is fully owned by the city. Until the runoff ends they will be taking water out of the creek. We may have to put in a meter at the reservoir to get an accurate measurement and usage. There will be an added expense to do this work. Mayor states that this will be a bigger meter and could cost around $10,000. Mayor feels at this time we leave it at the 2 cents per…. Jeremy states that with the new meter it gives an accurate reading as what is going thru the pipeline. Jeremy suggest that we hold off until we get an agreement in place.
