Call to Order: Virgil Bice, at 6:00 pm. Meeting opened by Norm Gubler.

Approval of Minutes: Motion to approve minutes of the February 8, 2010 by Pat Andregg, second by Doug Gubler. Motion carried unanimously.

Reports:

Water usage: No report. Karl Wilson will give at the next meeting.

Secondary Water: Water was not turned in today because of weather and river conditions. It may be turned in Wednesday. Doug Gubler will decide according to existing conditions. He will turn it in on the East side first and check the system Dan Howard wants to know if the city will want to test the areas when they turn it in.  Doug Gubler asks for a P.O. to be made available for supplies for any leaks found.  City will do a case by case decision on waivers for use of culinary water if people come in and need the water.  Motion by Doug Gubler motion to allow culinary water usage as needed and have to charge the minimum rate for the usage, second by Pat Andregg.  Motion passed unanimously.

Delivery Contacts for purchase: Kyle Gubler gave the board a copy of the secondary water contract holders.  The delinquent list for those not selling is expected to get longer because the deadline for payment is March 25, 2010.  Board members affirmed that the water cannot be sold off the LaVerkin Bench.

La Verkin City Culinary Water Improvement Project, 2010: Derek Imlay gave the board a copy of the progress report. He stated that after they complete the projects that are away from State Street, construction should go faster down the highway. Right now the project is 15% behind schedule.

New Business:

Jan Smith requested a waiver of stand by fee: Smith lives in Spanish Gardens and has desert landscaping and a small yard, and does not use the irrigation water. Norm Gubler supported discussing the request especially if there is a hardship. Virgil Bice stated that the board would discuss the matter and then call her with their decision. Ms. Smith left the meeting.

Pat Andregg favored leaving the charge in place. The board has stated in the past that they are trying to encourage the use of secondary water and the fee helps maintain the system. The $3.00 is a nominal fee and should not create a hardship. Virgil Bice believes the decision should be on a case by case basis.  Kyle Gubler thought that the issue could turn into a can of worms and recommended leaving the $3.00 fee intact.  Virgil Bice didn't know what her financial situation was.  The board didn't want to waive the fee. The city will send a letter to her, and Virgil Bice will talk to her.

Delinquent Letters: Kyle Gubler gave the board copies of the delinquent letter that the City is sending to contract holders who are delinquent in their payments for secondary water.  Kyle Gubler stated that there was $1,745.17 due from the contract holders.  Motion by Norm Gubler to send out the default notice, second by Pat Andregg.  Motion carried unanimously.

Credit for culinary water use: The item was covered in the reports.

Public Concerns for Council Consideration: None

Board members concerns: Norm Gubler wanted to know about the drainage problem at 100 S. 45 W.  During the snow melt last week the elementary school playground and DeMar Gubler's property was flooded. He suggested that the city use a titled blade and run a line down the south side of the street to create a runoff ditch.  Derek Imlay said that the city planned to look at the problem the first part of the week.

Adjourn: Motion by Dan Howard, second by Norm Gubler at 6:50 p.m.  Motion carried unanimously.

The next scheduled meeting will be held April 19, 2010
