Garden City Public Works Report

GARDEN CITY , Utah.  December 12, 2013. Riley Argyle, Supervisor of the Public Works Department, reported that more salt needs to be purchased.  The City usually uses a 50/50 mix of salt and sand.  More salt is needed to meet this combination mix.  

The snow fences have been put in place on First West, 700 West (Calder Road) and at Buttercup near the Schnetzer Home.  Argyle then asked if any of the Council Members knew of any others areas in the City that would perhaps need some snow fence. 

Argyle reported that a battery tender has been purchased to make it possible to start necessary winter vehicles during cold weather.  There have been two places with frozen pipes already this winter.  One was at the State Marina and the other at LeGrand Johnson Cement Company.

There was a wash out on the Canal near Ned Calder’s home.  Repairs will be needed in that vicinity. 
There were five muskrats in the pond.  They were trapped and removed from that area.

Andy Stokes will no longer be working for the City.  He has taken the position as Manager of ACE Hardware Store.  He is willing to help on an emergency basis if there are problems at the water treatment plant.  Riley indicated that the City needs to hire someone and get them trained and certified in order to keep enough men qualified to handle the water treatment plant.

MJM Corporation needs to complete work on the kiosk.  They assumed they had completed everything, but the original drawings show additional work that needs to be completed.  The Company needs to be contacted and asked to finish up the project.
