Mayor Piccolo reported that the City received notice from the State Water Engineers Office that it was granted a five year extension (November 30, 2011) on the Water Rights Application for 5,000 acre feet of water from the White River drainage. It is necessary to take steps to begin development on that water right. Gary Sonntag stated that he has no suggestions at this time, but will take preliminary steps to initiate this which will involve taking the existing application, research what has been done, and take steps to see what will be feasible and approach the State Engineer to see if we can use this application to address whatever improvement we will pursue. At this point, we have no funding for any specific project. For the preliminary steps, we will pursue it through the Engineering budget. As soon as we identify the direction we want to go and hopefully how much it will cost, we can pursue a funding application. MOTION. Councilmember Hanna-Smith moved that staff be authorized to proceed to identify a project and report back to the

28. ELECTRIC RATE ADJUSTMENT - Referred Back To Power Board

Councilmember Davis questioned the recommendation of the Power Board to increase the current base rate for residential customers from $.092 to $2.50. The change also eliminates schedule 103 and combines the rate with Schedule 101. The current rate is .0066981 per kWh for all kWh. It is proposed to go to .0067 up to 400 kWh, .075 for the next 200 kWh for a total of 600 and .083 kWh for all additional. He feels this is a little bit high and recommended that it be reviewed further to make sure the numbers are correct. Pat Larsen stated that looking at our current rate, it appears that an extra zero has been added. Mayor Piccolo stated that he would like to see a lower rate for those people that use less hours. Pat Larsen stated that this increase should have been 10%, with the larger users increased by 5%. She agrees with Councilmember Davis, that this is a huge increase especially for those on a fixed income, plus the $5.00 flat fee for substations. Several suggestions were discussed, such as increasing the .092 to .097 and restructuring the rates with steps. MOTION. Councilmember Nielson moved that this be sent back to the Power Board with the above suggestions. Motion seconded by Councilmember Hanna-Smith and carried.

She has discussed the enhancement of city entryways with Dale Stapley from the Utah Department of Transportation.

30. INTERNATIONAL DAYS - Update

Councilmember Hanna-Smith reported that the entertainment for International Days has been completely lined up. Their final meeting will be held June 29^th. The Boy Scouts have asked permission to promote their Scout-A-Rama during International Days. They will hold this at the College of Eastern Utah Business Building. Councilmember Hanna-Smith felt this would enhance the festivities. Mayor Piccolo agreed and stated that he is in favor of these types of promotions. Councilmember Davis stated that he has contacted the Youth City Council and they are looking forward to participating and supporting International Days.
