4.      Review Invoices and Checks: $134,400.84

Planning Commission: Ray Justice reported on the Planning Commission meeting held August 11^th. They recommended approval of the Sid Johansen subdivision amendment that was on the City Council agenda, and continued to review the hillside ordinance. Kevin Bennett stated that the Public Facility Zone Ordinance was reviewed, and would be in a public hearing at the next meeting.

Water Board: Karl Wilson reported that the Water Board met on Monday. He has been working with the Water Conservancy District and Hurricane City to monitor the Hurricane/LaVerkin supply line. There have been a lot of slippage discrepancies. Those need to be worked out because in the future, the cities will be held a lot more accountable for their water use. Doug Gubler from LaVerkin and Kenny Richens from Hurricane have been reviewing the situation.

Sewer Board: No representative.

Fire District: Tom Kuhlmann reported that there would be a meeting on Friday morning at 9:00 a.m. in the LaVerkin Chambers. He gave binders to Councilmembers and Mayor outlining the purpose. The next regular meeting would be held on Tuesday, August 24^th at 6:00 p.m. That meeting will include the Truth In Taxation hearing. The District is covering LaVerkin the best it can. There are two jobs in review; an administrative assistant, and an office specialist.

Citizen Comment & Request for Future Agenda Items: No citizen comment.

The LaVerkin Royalty left the meeting.

Multi-Jurisdictional Geologic Hazard Study of the SR-9 Corridor: Public Hearing for an application for grant funding from the Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board. LaVerkin City proposes to apply for grant funding for a Multi-jurisdictional Geologic Hazard Study of the SR-9 Corridor by the Utah Geologic Survey on behalf of LaVerkin, Virgin, Rockville and Springdale, with participation by these entities provided through an interlocal cooperative agreement. The proposed project was explained and then the public was invited to provide comments.

Kyle Gubler explained that this item had been before the council previously. At that time, LaVerkin agreed to a donation amount of $500 for the study. The County was to apply for the grant, but a conflict was found with PILT. LaVerkin is the only "city" in the corridor study area, and was asked to apply for the grant on behalf of the other entities. The County will do all the paperwork. Troylinn Benson has supplied them with LaVerkin numbers for the application. The study was done from St. George to LaVerkin; this study will go east to Springdale. The study does not involved LaVerkin to a great extent but LaVerkin's involvement represents a good-will gesture.

Items to be covered in the study are: flooding and debris flows, landslides, surface faulting, liquefaction, collapsible soil, expansive soil and rock, gypsiferous soil and rock. The scope of work will include: Identify and review digital geologic, hydrologic, and soils information - models; Digitize and rectify nondigital geologic, hydrologic and soils information; Compile digital geotechnical database;  Include trails, roads, land parcel information in GIS; Maps; Prepare explanatory text to accompany the geologic hazard maps. LaVerkin will take the lead as applicant for the four communities, who will pay their part. A representative from LaVerkin may need to go to the Board meeting in Salt Lake. That cost will be divided from the communities.

Mayor Wilson opened the public hearing.

There was no public comment.

Mayor Wilson closed the public hearing.

Sid Johansen Small Subdivision Amendment: Sid Johansen requested an amendment to the Sid Johansen Small Subdivision located at approximately 223 W. 200 N. Property is zoned R-1-8. Planning Commission recommended approval 5-0.

Johansen stated that there are three parcels that he owns. He would like to sell one of the back parcels, but because of the way the properties are laid out, it would block access to the back yard of the front property. The amendment moves two lot lines, and prevents the same condition from happening on the other side of the back yard and flag lot.

Derek Imlay stated that this was a minor adjustment, moving corners in. There were a couple of items that weren't discussed in Planning Commission that were recommendations from the engineers. There was a property description err; a call for a preliminary plat, which wasn't necessary because this is not a new development and the original preliminary plat had been approved; an overlap that has been resolved between Johansen's engineer and the city's engineer; and a designation for existing utility easements from the original subdivision.

Council wondered if the lot sizes met the zoning requirements. They are all well over the 8,000 sq. ft. required. Imlay stated that unless the council saw something missing, staff would recommend that the Mylar could be signed.

Multi-Jurisdictional Geologic Hazard Study of the SR-9 Corridor: There was no discussion. Motion by Councilmember Stratton, to approve the Multi-Jurisdictional Geologic Hazard Study of the SR-9 Corridor, second by Councilmember Justice. Roll Call Vote: Stratton-yes, Justice-yes, Howard-yes. Motion carried unanimously.

Resolution R-2010-18: A Resolution Authorizing the Issuance and Confirming the Sale of an Irrigation Water Revenue Bond, Series 2010, in the aggregate principal amount of $272,000 (The "bond"), by LaVerkin City, Washington County,  State of Utah (The" issuer"). Discussion and possible action to adopt the Bond Resolution, and approve the signing of Closing Documents including the Escrow Agreement.

The low bid came back at $215,911.56 from Royal T Construction. Since all the bids fell below the amount allowed by the State, the city may proceed with the bonding. Kevin Bennett has reviewed the bond documents and all appeared legally correct. He stated that the action needed to include the adoption of the resolution, approval of the closing documents and escrow agreement and authorizing the Mayor to sign. Wilson said that the city had a cost share of $48,000. The city has already expended about $39,000 that will count toward that share. Money has been approved and moved to cover the difference.

Chance Hardy Water Filter Bid Award: Derek Imlay stated that the engineers had recommended award of the bid to Royal T Construction for their bid of $215,911.56. Sunrise Engineering had recommended them as a reputable company, and had no issues.

Karl Wilson explained for the benefit of the public in attendance, that the city was in the process of acquiring an irrigation cleaning system with three Amiad filters that will filter to 500 microns, using an interest-free loan from the Division of Water Resources.

City Administrator: Kyle Gubler reported that he received a letter from the Washington County Economic Council thanking LaVerkin City for their participation.

Derek Imlay had applied for and received a sidewalk grant for 400 ft. of walk in front of LV Swiss. The match is in-kind.

ZC3 meeting was cancelled.

He got a call from a government agency who works for low-income housing regarding references for Color County Housing.

Derek Imlay, Kevin Bennett, Lloyd Watkins, and Kyle Gubler will do a walk-through of the Bob Steven's property on Friday with Heath Snow and Bob Stevens' attorney to provide a punch list that the city expects to be completed to bring the property into compliance.

Gubler received a report from ACCRA showing the cost of living from the Council of Community and Economic Research. It costs less to live in LaVerkin, but groceries are higher because of in-transportation costs.

Gubler continued to review the presentation from Allied Waste given by Jason Godfrey. There would be a lot more work than expected. Allied will allow the city to maintain the binnie program for those who opt out of the curb-side program. Allied will donate to the tree program for three years with 15% growth figured in. The city will contact all the residents in the water bill - Allied will pay the postage. Allied will also send a mailer, and they will call each resident. They are committed to the curb-side program no matter how many people opt out. If the city bills, cost will be $2.75 plus a fuel surcharge, and administration costs. The surcharge will lock in on an annual basis. If Allied bills, cost will be $3.00 plus a fuel surcharge. If the city bills, they will pay only the portion collected for Allied to Allied. The city can, at any time, opt-out if the county provides a curb-side program. Gubler discussed with the Solid Waste Director (Neil). He is okay with the program, but would not endorse anybody. Bennett is reviewing the contract. Pick-up will be every other week. Comparison was done with West Bountiful - their younger residents like the program. There is a time frame to opt out. Once the opt-out time is over, it will be a mandatory collection. Opt-out will be done in writing. Move-ins will be mandatory. There was council discussion that pick-up is expected to be in conjunction with other trash pick-up to reduce confusion. The curb-side can is powder blue.

Public Safety: Lloyd Watkins said that the department is busy. Meeting with other Chiefs about immigration issues. Doing a survey about cost and involvement - he is looking for input from Council to report back.

Justice wondered about new crossing guards. There is no application out, but Chief has appreciated all the help he gets.

Director of Operations: Derek Imlay reported that the Sidewalk Grant was $5250 and should cover sidewalk to the Maverick property.

State Street Water Project had final walk-through today. There are a few minor issues to clear up, but construction is complete. May or may not make business for the September 1^st meeting.

Doug Gubler has been asked to sit on a State Water Review Board for Small Systems with Rural Water. Imlay stated appreciation for the good work that Gubler does and has done for the city and expects this position to give the City some good notoriety. There will be a 2-day workshop and sees this as a big deal for Gubler.

June Jeffery received a call from Jim Childs of Maverick today. They are interested in completing the Maverick store before the end of this year. Imlay is interested in accommodating the company as the City can. Staff expects a meeting to review any revision. UDOT was a road block in the past. Should be okay this time. Will set up a meeting with UDOT and utilities as soon as application. Maverick is interested in paying extra money if necessary to expedite any process. Kyle Gubler stated that Maverick may put in the rest of the sidewalk to meet up with the "grant sidewalk." There was a question if the project could be completed by the end of the year. Justice sees this as a good time to get bids.

Imlay stated that the department has been able to keep up with a number of irrigation breaks in the last week.

Treasurer: Troylinn Benson stated that shut offs were this week. There were 158 notices, 109 door hangers, 17 shut-off, and 7 still off. There were 4 payments before shut-off was made.

Auditors will be coming on September 7^th.

Mayor Wilson: Will miss the HCAC meeting next week as he will be out of town.

Confluence Park meeting was today. Mark Hicken from the Hurricane West Stake gave a presentation from the youth conference that was held last month. There were 6,000 lbs. of trash taken to the landfill. LaVerkin City gave one of their vouchers to allow dumping at no cost. There was a lot of service accomplished, the youth also played games. There was feeling that the project brought awareness to the area.

Sewer Board meets next Thursday.

The League newsletter showed that sales tax receipts are up by 2% in May 2010 from May 2009.

Justice: No further report.

Stratton: No report.

Howard: Mosquitoes have been really bad this year.
