the intersection of Highway 6 and the Savage Road east of Wellington and the
purchase of culinary water from the District.
PRWID Assistant Manager Jeff Richens reported on the
August 11, 2004
progress of the Carbonville and East Wellington waterline
project. The meters have all been
installed and the asphalt should be replaced by the contractor by Thursday of
next week. PRWID District Manager
Phillip Palmer reported that there are 11,177 acre feet of usable water in
Scofield Reservoir
compared to 21,725 acre feet last year at this same
time. We really have to watch our water
usage and hope for an early fall and a lot of snowfall..
21. INTERNATIONAL
DAYS - Update
Councilmember McEvoy reported that a follow up meeting was
held with the International Days committee.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief to a job well done. It was unanimous that it was a very
successful event. Everyone did their
part and if anyone had dropped the ball, it would not have been so
successful. The booth income was very
successful. More money was made this
year that any other year. The funds for
this year will be retained by the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce. Fees will be raised for next year with the
Chamber retaining the same amount of funding as this year, and anything over
and above that will be given to the City to help defray the costs of the
event. She recommended that in the
future, that one person from the City be designated to be in charge of
International Days from year to year instead of changing from one Council to
another. The Council would still help,
but this person would know exactly what to do, how to do it, who to contact,
etc. She will accept Co-Chairman for
next years events, as she now knows what to do.
Meeting
adjourned at 6:25 p.m.
