GARDEN CITY, Utah - January 10, 2013. Zan Murray from JUB
Engineering informed the Council that the grant money to be used on the water
system will become available on after February 7. He also noted that some additional forms
will need to be signed and sent to the Division of Drinking Water so work can
begin on the overall City water plan.
The Building Inspector has
been working with 14 projects within the City.
He also has helped in determining the placement of the new decorative
lights. He is currently working with the
Planning on Zoning Committee. The
Committee needs to contact the canal companies and make sure they have the
proper contact person. They also need to
set up some kind of system that will involved the canal companies any time a
subdivision is going to be built near any of the ditches owned by the canal
companies. Mr. Peart also informed the
P&Z that they need to work with the canal companies to have the irrigation
easements registered with the County so that anyone will be able to know the
locations and widths of these easements.
Currently the easements are not registered with the County.
Andy Stokes was unable to be
at the meeting. He was in Boise working
on law enforcement issues and will then go on to St. George to attend another
school pertaining to water issues.
Mayor Spuhler noted that some
type of plan needs to be put in place so that there are individuals available
to handle the city work when an emergency call goes out. Currently, most of the individuals who work
for the city are also the paramedics and volunteer fire fighters. When there is an emergency, all of these
individuals respond leaving the city without anyone to carry out their duties
and responsibilities. He asked that
Council members think about this problem and see if some type of plan can be
worked out to allow certain individuals to respond to emergencies while the
others remain at their jobs.
Whitney Transtrum appeared
before the Council to request that she be given a business license. She has
rented space at 585 North Bear Lake Blvd.
She will be running a salon and tanning service. She noted that some renovation will need to
be done in order to have the necessary electricity and water for her
business. Her business will be called
Beach Waves. Mrs. Transtrum will need to
get her tax number to the City as soon as she gets it. She was also told she would need to check
with the commercial building inspector to make sure everything is done
according to code. The license was
granted.
Dean and Mary Landon at 941
North Newberg Place #2 are requesting a short term rental license. Their property will be managed by Bear Lake
Lodging. The license was given.
A discussion ensued
concerning the new sign ordinance. The
Council went over the information a page at a time. Mr. White indicated that he will make any
changes that were suggested and will continue to work with Planning and Zoning
as well as the businesses within the City.
The Bear Lake Community
Clinic qualifies for Community Development Block Grant money. That is why the hearing was held prior to
Council Meeting to make sure that all requirements for the application for such
monies has been taken care of.
The motion was made to
combine the parks, pool, arts, and library tax PTIF accounts. The motion passed.
