CONSENT AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting Minutes of April 21, 2020 were reviewed. Council reviewed the finance reports for the period ending April 30, 2020 (58% of the fiscal year elapsed). The City had $818,816.12 in the bank and routine bills had been paid, "Exhibit A". Mayor Gubler entertained a motion. Council Member Thompson made a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. Council Member Wadsworth seconded the motion. All in favor. Motion carried. ITEMS OF BUSINESS: Discussion of COVID-19 and Iona Day Celebration — Mayor Gubler stated the City Building will reopen to the public on June 1st and the Iona Library has already reopened. Mayor Gubler continued and stated other cities in the area have already canceled their 4th of July and other summer festivities due to COVID-19. He read a letter from the Iona Day Committee Chairperson, Meridee Wobig, regarding the status of Iona Day. Mayor Gubler summarized the letter and suggested possibly postponing Iona Day this year and doing a fall festival in September instead of our traditional July celebration. Mayor Gubler also explained he doesn't feel it would be fiscally responsible to plan an event in July and run the risk of having very low attendance due to COVID-19. He also said volunteers in this situation have been difficult to obtain. Council Member Wadsworth agreed it is too much to do in less than two months given the current economic and health concerns. Council President Geray also agreed to cancel the July 18th date for Iona Day and leave it up to the Iona Day Committee to establish a possible new date in September for a smaller celebration. Council President Geray suggested possibly doing a street dance where they block off the street and have live music for the community to gather and dance. Mayor Gubler and other Council Members praised this idea. General Water System Discussion — Mayor Gubler stated this discussion took place during the Work Meeting immediately preceding this meeting. 1 STAFF REPORTS: Director Prouse stated Well #1 had preventative maintenance scheduled and when they got into that they discovered necessary repairs that required purchasing a new well. He further explained the new well was $15,000 and is already being installed. He recognized the amount was over the $5,000 limit, but Mayor Gubler approved the purchase as it was an emergency situation. Director Prouse also informed the Council that the annual Spring Cleanup would take place at the end of the week with the dumpsters being delivered on May 22nd and picked up on June 1st Clerk West stated she was asked by a resident if we are getting a radar sign on 55th East heading northbound. The resident had stated that ever since the stop sign by the railroad track was removed there has been a large increase of speeders on 55th East. Mayor Gubler stated we already have a radar sign '/4 mile north on the same road. Council President Geray stated he would rather have that sign moved farther south, closer to the railroad tracks. Mayor Gubler explained we will have money in our budget next year to add two more signs and encouraged the Council to think about possible locations to have them installed. Council Member Wadsworth wanted to recognize the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office for the service they provide to the City of Iona. He continued and expressed his gratitude for their visibility and quick response times. Council President Geray, Council Member Thompson and Council Member McNamara all stated nothing to report. SUGGESTED AGENDA ITEMS: Council President Geray requested to have a discussion on next month's agenda on utility easements.
