Call to Order: Karl Wilson - 6:07 p.m. Meeting opened by Kyle Gubler.

Approval of May 17, 2010 Minutes:  Motion by Pat Andregg, second by Kyle Gubler, Motion carried unanimously.

Reports:

A.       Financials:  Karl Wilson handed out detailed financial statement to the board members. (See attached sheet.)  The total liabilities and fund equity was 1,032,337.08. Karl Wilson stated he would like to move $50,000.00 from savings in the irrigation fund to the checking account. He would use the old savings for the filter project. After the project is finished the account will be adjusted. When the old money is spent the board can identify where the costs are in the system. Motion by Pat Andregg to move $50,000.00 to checking, second by Derek Imlay. Motion carried unanimously.

B.        Water Rights Update:  (Refer to master reading chart attached.)  Karl Wilson will teach board members how to research water rights and other information on the computer when there is a full board present.

C.        Culinary Water Management:  (Refer to chart.)

D.       Water Usage:

1.      Culinary Water:  The reads for April and May were estimated from 2008-2009.  The meter was being replaced and was out of service.  The June read was with the new meter.  The new meter was paid for by the WCWCD.

2.      Secondary Water:  (See attached sheet, all four years in yellow are accurate.)

E.        Delivery Contracts:  Kyle Gubler stated that quite a few of the outstanding balances had been reduced. The current balance remaining is $1,842.55.  There are still 23.25 shares for sale.

F.         LaVerkin City Culinary Water Project:  Derek Imlay reported that the walk-through with representative from the Division of Drinking water was done earlier today. Remaining concerns were noted. The system is 100% in use now, however, there were some items remaining to be done.  They will be finalized before it goes to city council.  This project was financed with a low-interest rate loan.

G.       Hurricane/LaVerkin Transmission Line: Hurricane wants to create a master-planned water line and to maintain their ownership of that transmission line. LaVerkin's line is already flowing more than required and is plenty adequate. There has been suggestion from the WCWCD that if the Conservancy District maintains that transmission line, they may replace it with a new 18" to 24" line in five to ten years.

New Business:

A.       Gina Poole dispute:  Kyle Gubler gave copies of letters from Poole's attorney and the response from Kevin Bennett the LaVerkin city attorney, to the board members. Poole's dispute to pay delinquent shareholder charges stems from a time in the past when old irrigation lines were taken out in her neighborhood. At the time, neighbors' lines were replaced and hers were not. She is not receiving any water and doesn't believe she owes the debt. Gubler wanted to know how the board would like to respond. Karl Wilson suggested that the City run the water line through an existing easement on Poole's property with the understanding that she will pay her delinquent bill, and that an agreement stating such, would be put in place prior to the work being done.

B.        Irrigation Connections for Northview Commericial:  Derek Imlay stated that in the subdivision, one ¾" connection serves 4 apartments. Bills have been charged to each individual occupant in the past. Bills need to be created to charge the property owner for the irrigation water instead of the occupants. Because this is untreated, drinkable water that comes from Ash Creek and is served by the WCWCD, it is available 12 months of the year and could be billed that way rather than 9 months like the Virgin River shares. This item will come back for discussion at the next meeting.

C.        Daryl Talbot Connections: Derek Imlay stated that there is a 2" inch pipe that runs from 500

North and that Daryl Talbot lives on 120 West. The 2" pipe has a ¾" connection at the home and runs along the side of the house.  The 2" pipe in back has a tee and reduces to the ¾" line.  The fire that burned his shed in the back, also burned the pipe. Doug Gubler capped it off just past the 2" tee. That action caused Mr. Talbot to not be able to water his garden.  Board suggested that Talbot be grandfathered in on the line that was burned and for the city to extend the line to the remaining two houses with valves for both.  Motion by Pat Andregg to grandfather and to give new connections in approximately two weeks, second by Kyle Gubler.  Motion carried unanimously.

D. Private Individuals Irrigation Shut-off for Repairs:  Motion by Kyle Gubler to continue subject until the next meeting, second by Pat Andregg.  Motion carried unanimously.

E.        Irrigation Back Yard Connections: Derek Imlay stated that there are eight people wanting to

hook to irrigation lines. The only option is a full-blown easement or they will not be able to connect. Cost per easement, per property owner would be approximately $800.00. If the easement can't be done, the standby fee may be waived. Derek Imlay will draw up a statement.  Discussion that if a valve is placed at every house, it would make a lot of difference when the line needs to be shut off.

Public Concerns for Council Consideration: No public concerns.

Board members concerns: No board member concerns.

Adjourn: Motion by Dan Howard to adjourn at 7:20 p.m., second by Pat Andregg. Motion carried unanimously.
