Trustees approve Lynn Irrigation agreement and restart annexation for Harrisville Fields

Harrisville trustees on July 8 approved an agreement with Lynn Irrigation Company to transfer specific Lynn irrigation shares into the city for use by the Harrisville Fields subdivision and adopted a resolution accepting a petition to annex the subdivision into the 4 Mile Special Service District.

Staff member Janine Knight told trustees that the only change from the previous draft of the Lynn agreement "is this section that would allow the city to transfer the water to a different property within the district for a legal transfer by certificate," and said she believed "the project is a total of 53 lots." She also said Lynn shares are one component of a mix of water shares for the project, which also includes Western irrigation water rights and other shares.

The trustees voted by roll call to adopt the Lynn Irrigation Company agreement; Trustees Lawson, Christensen and Jackson and Trustee Weisz are recorded in the roll call as voting yes and the chair announced the motion carried. The meeting record does not include individual no or abstain votes for that roll call.

Trustees then considered what staff described as the same subdivision's annexation into the 4 Mile Special Service District. Knight said the city had "a little hiccup in the annexation timeline" and missed the state deadline, so the city is re-running the annexation process to ensure all requirements are completed before sending materials to the lieutenant governor's office. A motion to adopt "resolution 20 five-seven, accepting the petition for annexation of certain real property into the 4 Mile Special Service District" passed on a roll-call vote in which Trustees Boyce, Musil, Christensen and Jackson are recorded as voting yes; the chair announced the motion carried. The transcript does not record dissenting or abstaining votes for that roll call.

Earlier in the meeting trustees approved the June 10, 2025 meeting minutes; the minutes approval was moved and seconded and was announced as carried, but the transcript does not include a roll-call tally for that procedural vote.

What happened next: staff indicated Brody was available for questions, and the meeting moved on after both actions. The record shows trustees handled both the water-share agreement and the annexation petition in a single business segment; the annexation process will proceed again to satisfy state procedural deadlines before filing with the lieutenant governor's office.

Documents and next steps: the agreement with Lynn Irrigation Company and the annexation resolution were adopted; the record does not specify implementation dates or any conditions beyond the transfer language in the Lynn agreement. Further administrative steps — including any filing to the lieutenant governor's office and any subsequent public hearings or state approvals — were not specified in the transcript.
