Exceptions will be heard by the Utilities' Commission. <br /> An employee has made a request to buy a house 10.3 miles from the power plant. <br /> Verification has been made, that the paging system and on-call cell phone has good reception <br /> at proposed residence. <br /> John Dietz moved to approve the request for an exception to the 10 mile radius of the <br /> power plant. George Zabee seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 5.7 Booster Station—Easement vs. Purchase <br /> During the process of recording the deed for property acquired to relocate a booster <br /> station, it was discovered that there were additional requirements for land purchase, including <br /> a certificate of survey, and variances from the Planning Commission and City Council <br /> because the lot size is less than 122,000 square feet. An alternative to the restrictions would <br /> be to obtain an easement, rather than purchase. The land owners have agreed to an easement <br /> at the same price as the purchase, in the amount of$3,500.00. <br /> John Dietz moved to approve changing the purchase of the property to relocate a <br /> water booster station to an easement, at the agreed upon price of$3,500.00. George Zabee <br /> seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 6.1 Review Snowbird Water Policy <br /> The policy of ERMU has been to render water accounts, as well as sewer charges <br /> inactive for people who leave for the winter months. The policy is unwritten at this time. <br /> Commission, and Staff discussed the policy. <br /> James Tralle moved to discontinue the policy of rendering water, and sewer accounts <br /> inactive during the months customers are away from their homes. John Dietz seconded the <br /> motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br />
