Some corrections were made

They were accepted

 

Budget

The board discussed the budget. JoLynne reported that tax funds had been deposited but she was not sure why the checks were sent to her. 

 

The board discussed roles on the board and proposed bylaws submitted by Dennis, which outline the roles of each member. JoLynne asked why the other two board members appeared ready to adopt those bylaws instead of those she was asked to prepare when she was part of the working group. She noted that it seemed Dennis and Brandon had already discussed the bylaws and changing the roles of the board members before she received Dennis’s draft. Dennis said the bylaws were modeled after those done by the water conservation district and were created with good professional advice. 

 

JoLynne made several suggestions for changing the wording, based on advice from LeGrand Bitter when she was working on her draft. 

 

The board members discussed increasing the size of the board to 5 members. 

 

Dennis and Brandon asked if JoLynne was comfortable with the new draft of bylaws. JoLynne said with the changes, she was. She agreed to make changes to the bylaws after Dennis sends the file, and the board will meet again soon to adopt the bylaws.

 

Dennis said the board of Trustees can adopt a resolution to annex the property mentioned in the annexation hearing.

 

The board agreed to not tax Wade Nicholas, who objected to the drain in the hearing. John Dent has requested to be annexed into the district by adding his home (he already has a lot of land in the district). Brandon asked if we could service the land, which drains in a different direction. 

 

The board agreed to meet again soon to finalize bylaws, and to set a meeting schedule for the rest of the year.

 

Brandon moved that we adjourn and JoLynne seconded.

Joint meeting: Cache County Drainage District 6 and 4, 4-11-22

  Joint Meeting, CCDDs #6 and #8   In attendance: Adam Johnson, Robert Barlow, Bill Wright, Dennis Jackason, Jeff, Mark Blair,  JoLynne Lyon and Brandon Allen.      Jeff presented a redrawn map that reflects the natural flow of drainage. It takes in many parcels from District 4 and adds them to District 6. Mark showed board members from both districts where the open and closed drains are and how the water flows during a high water event.   JoLynne asked what would suffer if the districts were unified. Currently there are several administrative units and they are overwhelmed trying to keep up with state requirements.   Adam said the tax levy is $3 per acre and $5 minimum per parcel in District 4. Dennis said District 6’s levy is $2 per acre and $5 minimum.   Adam said the drainage makes sense. His district will lose revenue if the new boundaries are accepted. JoLynne said the parcels also represent liability.   Dennis told Dist. 4 me...
