Present: Mayor Shaud Schwarzbach, Colby Baumgarn, Jon Sheey and Ted Pursley were present
Public: Shane Chauvet, Luke LaLiberty
Mayor Schwarzbach called the meeting to order.
Salinity Action Plan: After discussing several approaches to the salinity problem at the pivot, it was decided that exercising the option to discharge in May and early June would be best at this time. No Crop will be planted and work will be done to make the water more usable for irrigation. It is thought that the many people dumping water from their sump pumps after the snow melt off may have been a main contributor to the problem. Monthly soil samples will be taken and the situation monitored. See the attached report by KLJ. Colby Baumgarn moved to accept this plan of action, Jon Sheehy seconded. Motion passed.
Chauvet easement: After discussion it was decided that the town would extend the soil settling warrantee period. Ted Pursley moved to accept the change, Jon Sheehy seconded, motion passed and the easement was signed.
The meeting was adjourned.
