A. Report on Projects

1) Trailhead - Bob Sandberg reported that they are still waiting on the county crews to finish work on the flood projects. They have made progress on getting all the clearances made and letters written. The paperwork should be all done by next week so when the county is ready to work everything will be in place.

2) Restoration - Cory Martin will be leaving soon because of fire season. Everything is mostly chipped and burned except for 5-6 small piles on the west side of La Verkin Creek. They may not be able to get back to those piles until the fall.

3) Grazing - Still trying to find someone to graze the fields. Bob is concerned because of the dry grasses turning into a tinderbox. It costs too much money to mow the grasses down.

4) Beavers - Placing wire around the trees to prevent beaver damage has been approved.

5) Hurricane City Water Line - Ken Richins reported that the engineers are allowing a temporary fix to stabilize the structure until they get a permit and a riprap design approved. He sketched the project onto the dry erase board for the committee to see. They are now dumping rock and concrete to stabilize. Ken inquired if the concrete feeding bunkers could be demolished and used in the river. Trail K. will check the deed and talk to an archeologist. If approved, Hurricane City would like to do it next week. The riprap material is 1½'-3' basalt and filter cloth.

6) There was discussion on the Virgin River flow rates. They are below flood stage.

B. Trails

1) Trail Kreitzer met with Lucy Ormond, Bob Sandberg, Kathleen Nielson and Justin about the proposed trailhead on the Hurricane side at Main Street. He stated it was a good idea and gave Lucy permission to start making a trail at that location and make that the main trail for Hurricane instead of 200 W. There is a work meeting tonight to outline the trail. Clark will talk with Arthur LeBaron (Hurricane City Engineer) about marking the property line. There was a discussion about moving/replacing fencing on the property line at that location and clearing the land. There was also a discussion concerning interpretive signs. Annette will research dates from her grandfather's journals.

2) Kathleen Nielson has a meeting with the Utah Representative of Nature Conservancy during the first weekend in May. She wants a tour of Confluence Park.
