consent agenda as presented. Council President Geray seconded the motion. All in favor. Motion

ITEMS OF BUSINESS:
General Water System Discussion—Mayor Gubler stated they had a meeting today at the water
tank. He continued and stated the tank is full of water, but there are still some pin hole leaks that
need to be fixed by the contractor. Mayor Gubler stated he has informed the contractor they will
not receive their final payment until all the fixes are complete. Director Prouse said they tested it
over 15 days and there was 1 inch of water loss due to the leaks. Mayor Gubler explained the
membrane of the tank and the reason for the leaks. Council President Geray expressed frustration
with the contractor and the length of time this project is taking for completion. Mayor Gubler
stated it has been difficult to fix the leaks because they are too small to locate. Director Prouse
did say the City is not allocating any additional funds and all expenses incurred to fix the
problems are the responsibility of the contractor. Director Prouse stated the tank has passed the
coliform test and the transmission line will need to be retested with Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) on site. Mayor Gubler stated the City is responsible for
purchasing and installing a chain link fence around the new water tank that was not included in
the contract.
Mayor Gubler stated the City is divesting itself of the ditch water that runs through the City. He
continued and stated Director Prouse has drafted a letter to all the ditch users throughout the City
informing them that the City will no longer be involved with any management and maintenance
of the irrigation water and ditches. Mayor Gubler explained the history of the ditches in the
northern part of the City. Council President Geray asked if the ditch users are required to have
liability insurance if mismanagement causes road or property damage in the City. Attorney
Rawlings stated by statute they are already considered an unincorporated association and are not
required to have insurance. If damage were to occur, it would be the individual ditch user that
IONA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING—MARCH 15, 2022
would be responsible if the association does not have insurance. Discussion then shifted towards
water conservation efforts pertaining to sprinkler schedules during the summer months.
STAFF REPORTS: Clerk West reported she has secured an additional grant for the tennis court
project in the amount of$1,500 and has applied for others that are still under review. She also
reported that she met with Hamlet Homes earlier in the day and they have offered to demolish
and repour the City Building front steps and update the main entrance foyer as a community
service to the City. Clerk West shared their ideas and sketched rendition of the updated space.
She continued and stated Hamlet Homes is hoping to complete all of this by the beginning of
May. Clerk West then requested feedback from the Council on the colors and design. Council
Members agreed on gray walls for the update. Council Member Wadsworth stated he likes the
idea of the electronic screen on the wall to display City events and other important
announcements. Mayor Gubler voiced his concern with the screen and the furniture because in
the past it created a lounge type area for other people using the building. Clerk West agreed with
his concerns, but also sees the value of utilizing a digital system for announcements within the
City Building. Council Members agreed to the digital screen.
Council Member Wadsworth and Council President Geray stated nothing to report.
Council Member Thompson stated he and James West are organizing the 5k/10k run again at
Iona Day this year. He asked if anyone had any suggestions or requests to change the route.
Council President Geray suggested to keep it the same as last year.
Council Member Mann stated nothing to report.
Deputy Randall reported a short list of reports for the month of February. He continued and
stated that door to door salesmen are back out and he has spoken with a few and warned them
that permits are required in the City. Deputy Randall also stated there have been anonymous
complaints about barking dogs and he has spoken to the owners.
SUGGESTED AGENDA ITEMS: No response.
