Lowell Vance and VelmaVance, addressed the Council regarding their
efforts to curtail the Purple Loosestrife Weed that infests the

involved.

Council about a franchise agreement with the city. United Water
System has applied to the PUC for a certificate to operate a water
system in and around Eagle. This application establishes a service
territory. They will be able to serve Lexington and Trail Creek.
Filing of any water rights will come to the City Council prior to
any action by United Water. Discussion took place about water from
United Water System only being used in Eagle. It was noted that
wording would have to be such as not to restrict United from
serving outside the city. Ms. Shiflet asked for a letter from the
City advising DEQ that no CUP is required for property lease in
connection with the Crandlemire well. Mona discussed the issue
with Council and will write a letter for Council review addressing
the zoning issue for well sites.

study of Hill Rd. from Stierman to Harrison

After discussion the Council authorized EASON to write a letter to
APA prioritizing the 2015 recommendations as submitted with the
following changes:

Engineer: Stan McHutchinson advised Council that Kestral Cove plat
speaks about a 10 ft. drainage easement which is to be maintained.
Sherri Sharp has complained about this not being done. He
indicated that the building inspector should make sure grading is
inspected prior to occupancy permit being issued. The Council
instructed the correction be accomplished with the $500 bond issued
by Kestral Cove and create the "swaile" necessary to eliminate the
problem. The building inspector needs to monitor the grading in
the building process.
The Beacon Light home/floodplain issue was discussed. The City
Engineer will check on the cost for excavation of soil and have it
moved out of the floodway. FEMA wants assurances but he doesn't
have any way to do that. He will bring the costs back to the City.
The Mayor will talk to the building inspector regarding those costs
and the responsibility of payment.
