7) PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT, VIOLATIONS and ENFORCEMENT:
Another complainant was received in reference to the ongoing aggressive dog issue. This complainant was not filed within the Town, but with the Sheriff’s Office due to a bite. The individual was cited for Dog at Large as well as vicious animal.

The Town also received a complaint on an individual that had built a pole structure. Upon investigation it was found to be poles with hammock in his yard. At this time, this is not a regulated issue.

Mr. Rawlings asked if the Town has any plans of moving forward to address a animal control interlocal agreement. Council member Bunker stated that at this time, the Town does not. He did not feel that the Town was ready to put out funds for Animal Control. Mr. Rawlings stated that a lot of people are getting away with a lot because they know that no one will come after them. He stated that there is an issue with dogs at large as well as barking dogs. He feels that it is a shame that there is nothing that can be done. Mayor Turner stated that Animal Control will not flex to accommodate the Town needs, that they have a standard of their laws. Council member Blotter stated that there is a noise ordinance in place for the Town and an individual could file a written complainant to investigate for barking dogs.

8) DANIEL MUNICIPAL WATER ISSUES AS NECESSARY:
Kim Norris stated that Wasatch County Public Works and Wasatch County Transfer Station are two separate budgets.

Mr. Norris stated that he was asked if the Town would be willing to purchase one of the meters, which as between $2500.00-$3000.00 each. Mr. Norris had spoken to the Mayor, but the Mayor indicated that with the amount of the purchase it would require the council approval. Mr. Norris stated that the county does aide the Town in services and feels that it would benefit in assisting with the purchase. He also indicated that it is possible that the County will use on average 500,000-700,000 gallons of water per month, and that a rate should be assessed for use. He also indicated that the current meter in place is one that the Town had placed but doesn’t work, so this meter is the one Mr. Norris is asking for the Town to pay for.
