COMMITTEE REPORTS

Chairman, Ron Snow mentioned that two newly appointed board members will begin their terms in January. They are Mary Esther Putnam and Gerald Schieffer. Ron said he did not know of any new building permit applications and there was nothing to report from the County.

Other board members did not have any issues to raise.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

Dall Winn reported on the following items:

• we have received two grant reimbursement checks and this will be the last of the grant activity for this year. We have been notified we will not be getting a FEMA grant.

• we will still have need for some equipment in the future and the board will need to decide to make a grant application for a new engine. This would be a grant that we would have to match ten percent, and for a new engine could require that the District come up with as much as $20,000.

• we are still awaiting reimbursement of about $1,000 for summer firefighting.

• December Fire Training will be on the 11th and the 13th.

• we will have a Fireman Appreciation Dinner in January.

Dalt requested that he be authorized to use the expected $1,000 reimbursement for summer firefighting to acquire 7 new tires for the military truck. This was approVed on a motion by Vicki and a second by Ryon.

NEW BUSINESS

Mike Fluharty gave a update on issues related to the new Lodge ownership. He said residents on 900 East had signed a petition in opposition to a bed and breakfast at the Lodge and presented it to the County. The Board discussed other pending issues including horses near the residences, A TV rentals and rental of houses by the day versus by the month.

It was mentioned that the County Planning and Zoning has a responsibility to protect the integrity of the neighborhoods and this could be a test of the County's enforcement abilities and the Pine Valley General Plan which provides maintenance of the qualities of life.

WASHINGTON COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REPORTS

SteveRobinson gave a update on the water source protection proposals that had been discussed earlier. He said the issue was controversial with the Washington County Planning and Zoning and they had tabled it to get more information and will have a work meeting to help understand its potential impacts. He said it seems to be the consensus of the Washington County Planning and Zoning Commission that the Utah State and Water District should be working with individual property owners rather than instituting a blanket one size fits all regulation.

PINE VALLEY HISTORICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Nothing to report.
