GARDEN CITY, Utah. June 13,
2013. Garden City Council. A public
hearing for input from the community concerning several items, the first being
the new Bear Lake Gun Range design and layout.
A proposed map of the area was shown to the audience. There is a nice parking area, a pistol range,
a rifle range, and a trap shooting range.
There will be some overhead
baffles to help lower the shooting noise, the guns will be firing into the side
of the mountain making it a safer facility than most, and berms will be built
to help reduce firing noise.
The range is a result of
cooperation among state, county, and city efforts. The land to be used is owned by the State of
Utah. The county has indicated they will
help with the range by developing a road into the facility and hauling needed
gravel. The city will be responsible for
the rest of the costs as well as taking over managing the facility.
Information concerning the
gun range is available on the Garden City’s web site. People are encouraged to go there for more
information about this facility.
The second hearing item dealt
with the budget. The public was asked to
comment on the budget for July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, fiscal year to
allocate funds for possible over expenditures.
The next item also concerned
the budget. The City has several
separate funds. Each needed to be
addressed. These funds are the General
Fund, Enterprise Fund, Beach Fund, and the Special Improvement District Funds,
for the fiscal year July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014.
The final item addressed at
the hearing was input concerning adding an ordinance to stipulate that no new
culinary water wells are to be allowed in the Garden City town limits.
