GARDEN CITY, Utah, July 11, 2013. Garden City Town Council. Zan Murray, the Garden City Engineer, reported on the town’s water model. The meter record has been geo-coded to be associated with the correct location spatially in the model. The meters that didn’t have addresses were recognized and manually placed in the right location. The daily meter flows for Ideal Beach, Lochwood, Harbor Village, and Lake Meadow Lodge did not fluctuate much. They ranged from 2.08 million gallons to 1.94 million gallons with the low end occurring on the fourth of July. The highest reading was on the seventh of July. The paving project will start next Monday and there will be asphalt by Raspberry Days. Cindy Gooch is working on several grants, all of which have tight deadlines. Consequently, it is imperative to have all the information needed for them ready to go. We should know in September if Garden City is awarded any of the grants.
Danny White, Garden City Administrator, reported on several items on which he has been working this month. He is continuing to work with the Army Corps of Engineers on wetlands issues for the road projects. Danny and the Army Corp of Engineers are waiting to get further information regarding historic wetlands on 1st West to learn whether Garden City needs to include these wetlands in the total impact acres, (total of ¼ acres), per the Council’s request. White performed wetland delineation for the wetland located adjacent to the City Park. White worked with JSH to stake out the parking lot on 75th North. Based on the survey, the plan had to be shifted to the north by 2 to 3 feet to help with traffic. There were also changes on the layout of the decorative lights to allow more flexibility in the spacing. Installation of the lights is continuing. The Heritage Park parking lot is being constructed.
As a result of a problem with the local contractor, the City ended up losing its samples, so White had to pick the colors and materials on the rock wall for the Information Kiosk that is being constructed. White is continuing to work on the city’s master plan with JUB Engineers, has analyzed the survey, and has worked with the planning and zoning commission to revise parts of the zoning map.
A letter was sent to the Sweetwater Trailer Park residents to inform them of the plans for the gun range. Most comments from the homeowners dealt with the concern about noise pollution. White attended the Annual Sweetwater Trailer Park Homeowners Association and used a PowerPoint presentation to focus on how the new range would make the trailer park safer. At the end of the presentation, a vote was taken which was split 50/50. A survey will go out to all homeowners in Garden City seeking their input on opening beach access to public rights of way.
White is beginning to create design concepts of entryways to the access points. Rich County Commissioner Bill Cox is working with White to meet requirements for culverts along 3rd west to ensure that irrigation water gets to where it is needed. Also, White is meeting with the engineers to discuss strategies for upcoming projects.
Danny White, Garden City Administrator, is working with Riley Argyle, the Publics Works Department, and Richard Monk, the Garden City Pool Manager, to make sure that the Garden City employees receive training on the new OSHA approved programs for blood borne pathogens, confined spaces, and hazardous communications.
