Minutes: Cache County Drainage District #6 Board of Trustees Special Meeting March 7


Description/Agenda:

Dennis moved to accept minutes, Bill seconded. Motion carried.

1.    Discussion of verified district boundaries.

Dennis filled in Bill and Eric about the boundaries and what has happened up until now. In the past we determined what parcels were and were not being taxed. We also added some parcels back in that had been dropped, after notifying them that they had been dropped. 35 of those letters went out, and 43 parcels were added. Then we had the Fabian VanCott law firm guide us through plans to annex additional parcels. We did a public hearing, presented the proposal, waited the 30 days for protests (there were none) and then followed the legal process to add the annexation. Everything went well until we tried to submit the map to the Lt. Gov.’s office. They wouldn’t accept it without a signature from county officials, who wouldn’t sign unless it was surveyed. The cost would have been our entire year’s operating budget. JoLynne approached Dave Ericson of the county council, who found us some grant money. The results of that are now ready.

 

To annex more land, we need the current map submitted to the Lieutenant Governor’s office.

 

Dennis said we need to decide if we are providing services to that whole area. If so we can ask Jeff to finish it and he can finish it as a surveyed map. 

 

The board examined the map, made four adjustments and agreed Dennis will go back to Jeff of Foresight Engineering to finalize the boundaries. Bill moved, Eric seconded and motion carried.

 

2.    A potential change in banks handling district money

 

Board members are not impressed with the change from Lewiston State to AltaBank. Dennis said his clients are going to Cache Valley Bank. He also likes Mountain America CU. 

 

We should find out how the institution accommodates nonprofit entities. 

 

JoLynne will look into GoldenWest, Eric will look into Cache Valley Bank and Dennis will look into MACU.

 

 

3.    Discussion of proposed projects in the Cub River Irrigation plan

 

Dennis handed out a map that shows the projects. The board discussed where the projects fall and whether the district should be more involved, as a lot of the proposed improvements will happen in district 4. Some of the downtown area appears to drain into District 6 but the improvements are slated for district 4. The board would like to discuss the proposed improvements with Fransen Engineering and understand if it’s the most practical plan and if it would create problems in District 6 later.

 

Chad Brown is the person we contact. Bill said we should also bring in Mark Daines and Allan Smith to come as well, to discuss where the drainage has historically gone. Dennis moved that he invites Chad to a meeting and Bill will invite Mark and Adam once we have a meeting on the schedule.               

 

Dennis moved we adjourn, JoLynne seconded. Motion carried.

JoLynne read the minutes. Dennis moved to accept the minutes. Brandon seconded. Motion passed unanimously (Bill and Eric did not vote, since they were not there)   Dennis said he had taken the oath of Office at the county offices today. He administered the Oath of Office to all other board members and each member signed their certificate. Dennis signed them all. He will take them back to be filed at the County Clerk’s Office. JoLynne, Dennis and Brandon’s terms will expire on Dec. 31 2023. Bill’s and Eric’s will expire on Dec. 31 2024.   Dennis read the financial report for the quarter. JoLynne read the balance from the bank. There is a difference in our favor (bank balance is greater than book balance). JoLynne and Dennis will reconcile the two.   Annexation and Possible Consolidation   JoLynne reported talking to LeGrand Bitter, who recommended going to Cary Jenkins to have the map drawn and avoiding the need to have the boundaries surveyed. She did, he drew the ma...
