PRENZLOW AGREEMENT Roger Prenzlow, owner of Stewart Mobile
Home Park stated that #8 of the
agreement concerning a 05. 00 surcharge
on usage over 15 acre feet in a calendar
year. He submitted a proposed change
for this item. The proposed change is
as follows:
8. In the event that Stewart Mobile
Home Park exceeds its water allocation
of 15 acre feet in any year, the Town of
Ault shall have the right to charge a
surcharge to the Mobile Home Park.
The surcharge would be equal to the
surcharge that North Weld County Water
District charges at the time. If the
mobile home park owner desires to avoid
the surcharge, he or she may do so
by:
a. Supplying the Town with additional
water rights, or
b. Requesting the Town to rent from
North Weld Water District additional
water and reimbursing the Town for the
cost.
June 7, 1971 James Stewart furnished the
Town of Ault with five acre feet of
Big T water. According to documentation
an additional five acre feet of water
was furnished the Town. The records do
not show this. This matter will be
resolved.

COMMITTEE REPORTS:
FINANCE AND BUDGET: Revenue and
Expenditure with Annual Budget
print outs, and Bank and C. D.
Balances as of May 31, 1991 were
distributed and reviewed. All of our
out of state investments are back in
state and in compliance with state
statues.
PARKS AND CEMETERY: Mayor Gieck had
obtained a bid to have the playground
equipment installed from Classic
Construction. The total bid is
$3000. 00. Discussion was held and it
was the consensus that this estimate was
too high. The installation of the
playground equipment will be advertised
for bid.
The removal of the Hawthorn tree was
discussed. It will interfere with the
playground equipment. The possibility
of moving the tree to the cemetery was
discussed.
Eaton Grove will be up to check on the
Cottonwood tree in Liberty Park. The
forest service inspected the tree and
said it was planted too deep, and had
possible root rot.
The diseased Canadian Cherry trees in
Liberty Park will be addressed by
Highland Nursery.
The tree board met and decided to give
property owners the month of July, 1991
to come into the eight foot street tree
clearance compliance. As of August 1st,
any trees not in compliance shall be
maintained by the Town of Ault. The
property owners will be billed for such
maintenance.
For the month of July only, residents
with tree trimmings can make
arrangements with the Town Hall for
disposal of tree trimmings only. An
appointment will be made to open the
gate at the East Side Park for disposal
of these trimmings.

Several parties have contacted the Town
Hall concerning reserving Liberty Park
for large functions. Discussion was
held and it was decided that the policy
first come, first serve would remain.
LIBRARY The Town was unable to have a
representative at the last Library Board
Meeting.
The Mayor appointed the following
committee to the Library Committee:
Fred Hoover
Charles Hoff
Larry Sheets
This committee will meet July 15, 1991
at 700 p. m.
WATER COMMITTEE: During the week of
May 27, 1991 Utility Technical
Services, Inc. , conducted a waterline
leak survey for the Town of Ault. The
purpose was to detect and locate any
leaks in the water distribution system.
The leak survey was carried out by
the use of a Metravib noise
correlator. The noise correlator
determines the time difference between
similar sounds (vibrations) or noise
patterns reaching sensors positioned at
opposite ends of the section of pipeline
being tested. By measuring this time
difference based on the velocity of
sound and the distance between the
sensors, the instrument will compute the
location of any continuous noise,
ie: leaks.
At the conclusion of the survey four (4 )
leak noises had been observed and
located. Three of these leaks are
classified as small, that is five
gallons per minute or less. The fourth
leak, at Fry and First Avenue has been
classified as moderate or five to ten
gallons per minute. These leaks could
total up to 25 gpm or up to 1, 000, 000
per month.
Page - 5
The leak at Fry and s
First Avenue has
been repaired. As soon as Ledall 's
schedule permits the remaining three
leaks will be repaired. Utility
Technical Services, Inc. will provide a
no cost follow-up call once the leak at
Fry and First Avenue have been repaired.
Vern Ledall recommended that new water
line be installed at Frye Street.
Twenty years ago the waterlines were put
in at Frye Street. Instead of coming
off the main that noes up First Avenue,
and putting a 2" or 3" water line up
Frye Street, tapping off and going
into the three houses, the 6" main was
tapped three times with light weight
copper and now the copper lines are
deteriorating. That was the problem
with our leak. Ledall 's recommended
replacing this. His recommendation is
to go up Frye Street with 4" ductile
line and move the three curbatops in the
middle of Frye Street to where they
belong. Put meter pits out next to the
street, thus alleviating the Towns
responsibility for leaks going into the
residences. Ledall 's will provide
estimate for this work and it will be
addressed when the proposal is received.
PARKS Trustee Marsh suggested that
the fence and gate be moved back to the
tree line on the east side of East Side
Park and locked. This will entitle
patrons to use the Park, and yet
control traffic around the storage shed
and entitle the Town Maintenance man
to control dumping tree trimmings.
MOTION WAS MADE BY TRUSTEE MARSH, to
move the fence and gate to the east to
the tree line at the East Side Park.
Property owners are to contact the Town
Hall to arrange for gate to be opened to
dispose of tree trimmings during the
month of July, 1991 only.

and Fifth Street and First Avenue,
stopping south bound traffic at Fifth
and Allison. There are numerous
children area. Several solutions
were offered. This matter will be
tabled until the procedure of adding

POLICE Bartell 's and Noe stated that
false arrest is covered under the line
backer policy. The coverage will be
reviewed.
The police committee recommended that
the Evans Animal Control Ordinance be
adopted with a few minor changes. The
amendments are to be written into the
Evans Ordiance and the amended Animal
Control proposed ordinance will be
reviewed at the next regular meeting.
