Mayor Christensen welcomed everyone to the meeting. Pledge of Allegiance and Prayer was
given by John Christensen.
Dr. G. J. Willden was present at the meeting to ask the council about the possibility of
connecting to the town’s culinary water system when they build their new home. They have
purchased the land up above Mark Hopkins property. The property is not in the Town limits but
it is in the county buffer zone. Historical there are a couple ways to look at this we have had
other requests to let others connect to our water system. It has been on a case to case basis. The
Mayor stated that he has been in favor of allowing it because it brings more revenue to the town
and then someone is not drilling a well which takes away from our sources. The Mayor stated
that one concern is once we allow someone outside of the town limits to connect then we have
set a presentence. After some discussion motion was made by Eric to allow Dr. Willden to
connect to the town culinary water system with the understanding that he will be responsible to
cover all the cost to connect to our system. Also, that the council reserves the right to allow
people to connect to our water system on a case by case bases. Seconded by Desirae
Christiansen, motion carried.
Dr. Willden asked the council if they had come up with a name of someone from town to serve
on the new Gunnison Valley Swimming Pool Committee. After some discussion of names the
council asked Catherine to call Doreen Jacobs to see if she would like to serve.
Max White from Whites Sanitation was at the meeting for their annual visit. Max asked the
council if they have any concerns or questions concerning the town garbage service. Max also
stated that our contract with them will be up in July of this year. Max stated that they will no
longer pick-up carpet. He stated that he will get the new contract ready and send it for us to
review. They discussed the town clean-up. Catherine stated that she had received a call from
Whites stated that the cost of monthly garbage service had dropped as of the 1st of January from
$8. 25 to $7.75 per house hold.
David Sorensen was at the meeting and asked the council about the fire hydrants in town and if
we have them checked yearly. The Mayor stated that we had just met with the Gunnison Fire
Department concerning this issue.
Minutes were read for the month of November and December 2014 and motion was made by
Desirae to accept the minutes. Seconded by Eric, motion carried.
The bills for the month of January were presented for payment. After some more discussion
motion was made by Eric to pay the bills. Seconded by Zara, motion carried.
Catherine reviewed the financial report with the council. They discussed the class “C” budget
and the cabin budget.
Catherine stated that Zara was concerned about the perpetual care interest and if we had it in a
saving account. Catherine stated that she had talked to our auditors and the interest from our
perpetual care money is put back into the general fund to help pay for the cost to maintain the
cemetery.
Catherine stated that there were questions about how we determine what we pay the Sanpete
County Landfill monthly. She stated that through our computer program she can print off a
report that tells her how many people we charged each month for water, garbage and fire.
Catherine gave the council a list of the building permits issued for the year in Mayfield.
John updated the council on the January meeting of the CIB board concerning our road project.
He stated that we were going to wait until February to go back before the board, but they pulled
our application from the previous month’s meeting and gave us the grant for the full amount that
we had requested. The CIB board will fund the grant at their February meeting.
Desirae stated that Daren Hill will be the new chairman of the Gunnison Valley Recreation
Committee this coming year. She stated that the committee is working on the possibility of
building a new complex.
John stated that he had a meeting with the Director of the Six County to set up our short and long
term goals for the Town. He stated that they said that they can help us with completing our
general plan.
Zara talked about improvement project ideas she has for the cemetery.
