Meeting Notes
1
8:59 AM Hough called the meeting to order. Laulu presented applications for cremation assistance for
case numbers 20260035 and 20260036. Moser moved to approve case 20260035 and deny case
20260036. Hough suggested a friendly amendment to include releases of lien for case numbers 20040324
and 20040019. The motion passed.
2
9:05 AM Moser moved to approve the cancellation of late fees per the Treasurer’s recommendation. The
motion passed.
3
9:01 AM McKinney requested to use SHSP security grant funds to replace WIFI hardware. Klauser
explained the homeland security funds need spent by February. That might not get done if we wait for the
new director. The FEMA paperwork was already done. The total is just under $15,000. The remaining
$24,000 might be spent on radios. Moser moved to go forward with using the grant funds.
4
9:05 AM Evans reviewed Task Order 15 that has a breakdown of $2 million. The second phase of the
pilot study is going good and the data shows it’s working. The Board requested a presentation. Evans
explained they are looking at working on a closure plan for cell 2. The FEMA floodplain work is going
well, but slow. CDM is putting models together for 25- and 50-year storms. Hough moved to approve
Task Order 15. The motion passed.
5
9:08 AM Klauser reviewed there are two accounts that haven’t been collected. The first is $1,700 from
July of 2022 for soccer field usage from Joshua Gonzalez. The second is a $5,000 sponsorship for July 4.
There was a mix-up as the auditing office knew nothing about the sponsorship. An invoice was sent once
that information was received, but payment was not received from Prime Towing. Moser moved to
approve cancelling the fees for the two outstanding invoices. The motion passed.
6
9:10 AM Moser moved to approve Resolution Numbers 2026-70, 71, and 72. The motion passed.
7
9:10 AM Moser moved to approve the public hearing notice for publication for a rezone. The motion
passed.
