The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM by Mayor Turner.

1) PUBLIC COMMENT:
No public comments were made.

2) Update and discussion of water meter options:
Ryan Taylor has been working with Master Meter and found that when the town purchased the equipment there is a 10-year warranty. Master Meter is looking to determine if equipment is under the 10 year to see if they will offer a full or partial warrant based on the individual serial numbers per each piece of equipment that has failed. If Master Meter does not extend the warranty, he would like to test the low and high flow to see how off the meters are reading, starting with the low flow first.
There are a few other options that he has inquired about. First, is a tower reading data. The tower is $7,000-10K, which would read data every few minutes and customer access to readings. This would require a data package with a carrier and monthly data fee. The second option is Badger Meter. Upon contacting them, Mr. Taylor was told they would use the 2019 quote. This includes $2700 starter with software and 10 meters. Additional meters would cost $300 each and require monthly data charge at $0.89 per meter per month. The last option is Census. The meters are $350 per meter, would require to piggy-back off another entities tower for a fee if possible, and would possible be like the above mention data fees.

Mr. Taylor would like to continue this discussion based on future updates with Master Meter and report back to council with findings, before looking at the additional options.

Council member Grady made a motion to continue discussion of meter options, seconded by Council member Glodowski. FOR: Mayor Turner, Council members: Bunker, Duggin, Grady, Glodowski.

3) DISCUSSION of WATER BOND:
Mr. Taylor stated that the town should respond back to the Division of Drinking Water explaining that there is a delay due to unforeseen issues that have been brought forth. This will allow for open communication with the Division and allow some time to work through some concerns and issues that could affect whether we need to move forward with the bond.

4) DISCUSSION of POLICIES & PRODECURES:
Each of the recommended policies and procedures per the risk assessment were assigned to members to review and see if the town needed to establish any changes. At this time per discussion, it was determined that there are no necessary changes that need to be made.

5) DISCUSSION of PROCESS of BUILDING APPLICATION/PERMITS:
Devin McKrola with Daniel Irrigation stated that the irrigation project along 3000 South has been discussion since February 2020, and Daniel Irrigation would like to get an agreement in place with the Town so they can proceed. Daniel Irrigation Company is needing to get a cut permit issued as they have a deadline to get the project completed.

Corbin Gordon stated that he has been retained to review the agreement and has removed “franchise agreement” and stated that the irrigation company is a non-profit organization. It was resent to the Mayor and Council member Bunker for possible signatures from the town. If additional changes are needed, the irrigation company would be willing to further review, but need to get it signed and get the permit issued. Council member Bunker indicated that without review, the town will not sign the agreement. Mr. Gordon stated that subject to review of the agreement if the permit could be issued.
