4. Request payment to Nix Construction for the disconnection and new water services for two homes outside the boundaries of Pleasant View City. (Presenter: Fred Hellstrom)
Fred Hellstrom: there were two homes in Weber County that we provided water service to. The water line broke in the middle of the road. I contacted Whitaker, Sorensen, and Nix for bids. Nix was the one able to come at that time. The other two were 2 to 3 weeks out. I contacted North Ogden City to see if they would take over the services. They have a 6” main to serve them. North Ogden also provides the other services to those two homes. North Ogden did take the two water services. I haven’t received the official bid, but I have a cost estimate of $9,856 and it shouldn’t be more than that amount.
Motion was made by CM Hjorten to authorize the payment up to $9,856 for the water service disconnection. 2nd by CM Humphreys. Voting aye: CM Boehme, CM Ferguson, CM Hjorten, CM Walker, and CM Humphreys. Motion passed.

Scott Jackson: the 2006 Charger was totaled in an accident. Uniguard Insurance paid off the last payment on the vehicle’s lease. I would like to replace it. Scott Jackson discussed the request. The council asked for additional information i.e. the current market value, what the insurance is paying, cost of the new vehicle, and the vehicle rotation schedule.
Motion was made by CM Walker to continue item #5 to the next agenda. 2nd by CM Ferguson. Voting aye: CM Boehme, CM Ferguson, CM Hjorten, CM Walker, and CM Humphreys. Motion passed.

Mayor Clifford updated that council on the Butter’s lawsuit. The judge ruled only on 1 of 3 pieces of the lawsuit. It was not the final determination. They will appeal and get an appellate court ruling.
