Rich County School Board Report

Rich Civic Times 

RANDOLPH, Utah.  September 18, 2013.  There were two large expenditures this past month.  The first was in the amount of $10,000 for audit services.  The other was for $20,000 for the risk management insurance.  It was also noted that more funds (122%) came in from trust lands last year than had been budgeted.  

Mr. Ward extended an invitation to the Board to attend UEA this fall.  This year these meetings are open to the public. They were made available to the public last year for the first time, and it seemed to work out so well that they are doing it again this year. 

Home school requests were approved.  A laptop handbook for Rich County has been written.  The District has decided to charge a $40 rental fee for each computer and charge up to $50 for possible accidental damage to the equipment.  This money will be used as self insurance to cover damages that may be sustained to the computers.  If students don’t take care of or abuse the machines, there will be disciplinary action taken.  Rick Larsen, Rich High School Principal, indicated that he would try to be consistent with the disciplinary action and will try and make the action fit the problem encountered.  

Software programs will need to be purchased in place of hardbound books in the future.  From the research done so far, the software will cost about the same as textbooks.   

The handbook was written so that changes could be easily made prior to actually setting the computer information into policy.  There was a consensus of the board in accepting this handbook. 

The tobacco policy was approved last month and ratified this month.  The change to this policy was adding the words “nicotine products” in place of the word “tobacco.” 

Three positions are being filled.  One position is still in the interview process.  However, the Board gave permission to put the selected individual to work.  That individual will need to be approved next month.  The other two positions have been filled and received Board approval.  Rich Limb will be a supervisor over classified employees and Cassie Burgason will work as a special education aide. 

Most of the meeting was spent working over the Procurement Policy.  The last legislature passed several laws requiring schools to follow new and different procedures in the purchase of items.  The new laws were directed specifically at school districts since none of the other state government agencies are included in these new laws.  One hundred percent compliance is required.  Because there are so many items involved, the State hired a law firm to write up a sample policy.  Superintendent Dale Lamborn noted that for a district to write their own policy and cover every item and exception in order to be in compliance would take a tremendous amount of effort and attorney assistance.  He suggested that the Board accept the suggested policy.  He also recommended that the policy remain in the format that was given by the state.  This way, as changes are made, it will be easy to locate and make the necessary updates to this document. 

Superintendent Lamborn then spent some time pointing out specific changes that this policy will require.  This policy was adopted last school board meeting and was ratified in the current session. 

The Utah State Basketball Association will be meeting on October 9 in Logan.  Specific changes will be accepted or rejected at that meeting.  At least four of the Board Members will be in attendance at that meeting. 

Three Board members, Calder, Johnson, and Saby, attended a training conference.  All three indicated that the meetings and workshops were especially good.  They were pleased with the information they received. 

The Utah High School Athletic Association is currently trying to work changes in scheduling the number of games, the tournaments to be held, and where they will be held in order to allow more participation without overlapping activities.  This meeting is coming up soon. 

Bridgerland Area Vocational College is working on trying to get an associate degree available for students attending there.  The suggestion has been made to have the students do 30 hours of actual on hands experience at Bridgerland and take 30 hours of classes from Utah State to obtain the associate degree.  No decisions have been made yet, but currently this is the suggested plan. 

The October Board meeting has been moved to Tuesday, October 22.

The State has spent a tremendous amount of money to come up with a plan for grading schools on how well they are taking care of student needs.  There are two main criteria that go into the scores.  The first is the proficiency area.  This area takes into account the scores the students earn on tests given in language arts, mathematics, and science.  Rich High School did very well in this area earning a score of 257 out of 300.  

The next section measures growth.  Growth is measured by testing students at the beginning of the year in language, arts, and science.  Then they are measured at the end of the year to see what their progress has been.    This may sound good, but really isn’t very fair to schools where students are already doing well.  How much can you improve if you are already in the 90%?  Because the students in Rich Schools already have high scores at the beginning of the year, the growth score ended up being 154 out of 300 possible points.

Putting the two scores together using their special formula, Rich High came out with 554 out of 750 which is a 74% or a B grade.  

Rich Middle School had a similar situation.  The score results were 448 out of 600 possible giving the school a 75% which also is a B grade. 

The North Rich Elementary achieved 456 out of 600 which is a 76% or a B.  South Rich Elementary had 464 out of 600 which was a 77%. That is also a B. 

It was interesting to note that some schools received F’s because, even though their students had made tremendous growth (like some schools on the west side of SLC), they didn’t reach the required 50 points in the growth area.  You have to have at least 50 to even be counted.  Thus, they were rated an F.  However, the students had made tremendous growth and were given what they need to start them moving up the continuum, but the grade certainly doesn’t reflect this.  Hopefully, after the State spends additional thousands and thousands of dollars on grading schools, they will be able to come up with something that is really representative of what is happening in the schools.

Garden City Administrator Report

Anita Weston, Reporter
Rich Civic Times 

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  September 12, 2013.  Danny White, the City Administrator, was ill.  He, however, was at the meeting by telephone and reported his activities to the Council.  White reported that the Army Corp of Engineers is concerned about the wet lands.  These areas need to be identified and delineated for mitigation.  They need to be considered clear through the final designs on any projects undertaken. 

He noted that the rock needed to finish the Kiosk has been difficult to obtain.  It should be available this coming week so that this project can be completed. 

White has been working on an update of the City’s General Plan.  He has requested input from the members of the Planning and Zoning Committee.  He also requested that the Council Members also look over the new draft and give him any feedback that they have.  He will try and get the final plan ready in the near future.

There is going to be a meeting concerning roads and trails during the next month.   Cindy has been working on getting an EDA grant.  However, there have been some complications in submitting the grant.  It has been decided to hold the paperwork until December.  Additional studies need to be completed prior to the submission. 

The gun range seems to be moving forward.  There are graphs and illustrations but plans are not completely set.  There is still plenty of time for ideas and thoughts. Input would be appreciated from anyone interested in this project.  So far, the comments have been in favor of this project.  There are no negative comments at the present time. 

People have expressed dissatisfaction concerning beach access. There are not enough access points to accommodate the numbers of people who are coming to the lake.  The only satisfactory responses that have been received are from people who actually have homes along the shore.  Fifty-five percent of the responses are in favor of opening more access points to allow individuals to get to the water.   These responses will be given to Govern Herbert and Senator Hillyard.  

The Waters Edge Project is moving forward.  Danny met with Bryce Nielson and Norm Mecham this past week.  One of the wetlands on this site will be impacted.  Mecham claims that one section of wetlands is an isolated wetland and would thus not be under the Army Corp. of Engineer’s jurisdiction.  However, this area eventually drains into the lake and is an adjacent wetland. 

Planning and Zoning would very much like to give approval for the conceptual plan.  However, it is most important that the wetlands delineation be done prior to such approval.  Authority is given to Planning and Zoning to request any studies they feel are needed prior to giving approval.  Jim Stone had the ordinance reference at the last meeting noting that several studies really need to be completed. 

The results of filling in any wetlands can result in jail time–so the City needs to be very careful in proceeding with this subdivision.  The City needs to make sure they get a letter from the Army Corp of Engineers prior to giving approval.   A traffic study also needs to be completed prior to approval.

Garden City Council Meeting

Anita Weston, Reporter

Rich Civic Times 

GARDEN CITY, Utah. September 12, 2013. Statewide Paving & Elite Paving requested a permit to conduct an asphalt paving and seal coat paving business company in Garden City.  The main location is in Logan, Utah.  Don Stanley and Jerry Litzrovich are the owners making this request.  The Council approved this request. 

The Special Event Permit is currently very cumbersome.  Garden City needs to be able to control its permitting process.  Turning everything over to the Bear Lake Regional Commission should not be done.  However, communication among the various agencies concerning events that go across state, county and city limits is needed.  Kathy Hislop was asked to meet with Mitch Poulsen to see if the permit form could be streamlined.

The tourism grant request needs to be submitted soon.  It was suggested that perhaps the money could be used to pipe water down third West or create a sidewalk to Third West or perhaps even create a bike path along that street. It was noted that the city owns nine tenths of an acre of property along the current trail.  The property is not buildable, but could be graded into a trail head for snowmobiles.  It is located just below Walentine’s property.  Of course, these are just ideas and if they are turned down, the City could ask for money for more lights. 

The City needs three judges for the election November 5.  A notice has been posted.  Hopefully enough people will apply that the decision can be made at next month’s meeting on who will be chosen to serve in this position. 

Council member Pat Argyle reported on Heritage Days.  She suggested that the dates be changed to earlier in the summer or get more people involved to help with the activities.  She especially encouraged the Council to consider the time.  

Andy Stokes noted that if the City discontinues Heritage Days, they will loose the connection they currently have with the Browning Family.  They have been generous in providing guns for Heritage Days and would perhaps be willing to donate to other things needed by the City.  He felt this connection needs to be maintained. 

Pat also noted that the swimming pool could be more actively used.  She suggested that there be a game night or some other activities that would bring more people out.  Because of the uniqueness of our Community, as the City grows, more and more volunteers will be needed to just maintain the current level of service provided.  Hopefully more and more citizens will step up to the plate and volunteer to assist in the various activities that are held by the City.

 

Council member Bess Huefner reported on Raspberry Days.  She noted that expenses were about $30,000 and revenue was $43,700.  That leaves $13,700 to go back into the General Fund.  Advertising the fireworks was not well done this year.  The brochure was printed early enough that they used the location from the past.  This year, the lake had not gone down far enough by that date and had to be moved to Ideal Beach.  It was suggested that the advertising of the fireworks note that the location will be given out closer to the actual event.  The Sheriff’s report was not yet available.  Also, it was suggested that the entertainment costs be less in future years.  It seemed to be rather expensive. 

There is a meeting concerning sovereign lands during this next week.  Mayor John Spuhler will be in attendance at that meeting.  There are several issues that need to be resolved.  The lease of these lands within the City limits needs to be renewed.  Also, new laws went into effect this past summer without enough time and communication for everyone to be on the same page.

The City Center is going to be used for Zumba lessons and will be sponsored by the City.  They will be held twice a week at $20 per family per month.  Hopefully, lots of people will come and participate.  The lessons will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.  

Council member Darrin Pugmire reported that he had contact Jim Stone.  Side by side vehicles were being rented from his location.  However, Jim was not the owner.  He was allowing someone else to use this location.  This does not fit with the current ordinances.  Also, there has been a problem at the Pickleville Playhouse with the bikes and paddle board rentals.  The City needs to follow up on these issues. 

There is the possibility of getting a trolley to carry people down to the beaches.  This would make it possible especially for handicapped people to enjoy the beach as well as everyone else.  Several Council members noted that having the trolley go from the Idaho line to Rendezvous Beach would be a super transportation option that would perhaps help people to go from the beach to the restaurants and back to the beach easily thus, helping the local businesses.

Garden City Public Works Report

Anita Weston, Reporter

Rich Civic Times 

GARDEN CITY, Utah. September 12, 2013. Riley Argyle, supervisor of the Public Works Department reported to the City Council his activities during the past month.  In preparing the master water plan, JUB Engineering collected data for the City in July and ran some flow tests and pulled data logs from the big meters for JUB at that time.  They requested some additional data which takes July 24 and up to the present time.  This should give them enough data to put together a plan by the end of October.   

The City has been mowing all of the reeds and vegetation along the beach contained within the City limits.  Also signs of “Walk Only” for beach access was installed on 150 South, 200 North, and 75 North.  There are more signs that need to be placed as soon as the locations are identified.  More “No Parking” signs have been ordered and the big rocks at 250 East have been moved and the gates were removed. 

The gun range will be a partnership with the state (their land) the county (building road in and parking area) and Garden City (obtain equipment, bathrooms, water, and run the facility).  This project is still in the conceptual phase.  Danny White (the City Administrator) has drawn up the master plan and is working with the Sweetwater HOA.  There are funds available for such a project from the DNR.  This proposed project may qualify for some of these funds.  It was noted that grant requests need to be written up to apply for these monies. 

A formal proposal for the gun range needs to be drawn up.  The partnerships need to be formalized and documentation of the deer and sage grouse usage study will need to be provided.  Also, additional adjacent landowner input needs to be obtained. 

The kiosk is still in the building phase.  Materials have been difficult to obtain and get to the site which has slowed down this project tremendously.  Hopefully, it will be completed in the near future.

The Bear Lake Water Company has an abandoned well.  The City decided to investigate to see if it would be possible to use that well to take care of some of the City’s water demands.  Glenn’s Electric came and used a camera to check out the well.  It was discovered that the well is 340 feet deep and needs to be cleaned.  The well appears to have good potential.  Bear Lake Water Company will turn the well over to the City for 15 shares of water currently owned by the City in Hodges Irrigation Company.  The City is currently working on getting a permit for renovating the well.  Also MOUs need to be written and signed to make sure everyone understands the arrangements that have been agreed upon. 

The cost of cleaning and testing the amount of water available by pumping will cost about $50,000.  The water shares used in the exchange have been valued at $3,000 each, costing $45,000.  Digging to get the needed pipes in place and power to the site are additional costs estimated at approximately $20,000.  This will also include source protection plan along with a well protection plan. 

The City continues to GPS as many of the meters and valves currently in the water system.  It is going well but will take additional time before this project is complete.

Heritage Park is being worked on.  The City is currently working on the last of the ditch work.  A ramp has been installed and the windmill aeration feature is finished..   The bypass ditch is mostly done but needs head gates and boxes.  The new ditch on 300 West has been started, but because of water, it had to be stopped.  A new pipe that will keep the overflow water from running onto the neighbors has been installed.  A test pit 20 feet deep was dug to see if water could be found.  Water was found, so Zan will move a water right over to the test pit.  Travis talked with the state and has been given a dock for the fish pond to accommodate the handicapped. 

The City’s light project is moving along well.  Fifteen of the 20 lights have been installed.  Four of the remaining lights have been requested leaving one left to put in place. 

The main water line into Lakota is being replaced so that the pipes won’t freeze in the winter.  The road there is only 15 feet wide which doesn’t allow much room to lay pipe and still have people drive along that area.  This project involves 11 meters.  It should be completed in the next week or two. 

The parking lot on 75 North is complete.  There needs to be more red paint on the corners to let people know to now park quite so close to the highway.  The trees are doing well.  Currently they are being watered two or three times a week.  Soon, the City will be able to cut back on that as the trees become acclimatized. Placement of a couple of dumpsters needs to be determined. 

There are two Idaho water users who are still on hold.  The meter project is complete for five of the users. 

There have been some problems at the water treatment plant.  The chlorine pump is leaking.  The sodium hypochlorite machine needs an acid wash every month.  The City has purchased the necessary tools and the workers are now taking care of this item.  It saves $1,000 a month.  The piping for the hypochlorite was plugged off and needed replacement.  It was determined that a different plumbing arrangement would actually cut down on the amount of particles that are currently filling up the hypochlorite pipes.  It has taken about a week to make all the needed changes and modifications.  Hopefully, these changes will allow for better use down the road.  Two trees at the water treatment plant need to be replaced.  The landscaping has been finished. 

Water’s Edge Subdivision went before Planning and Zoning last week.  The Committee denied the conceptual plan because there are several studies that need to be completed prior to approval being granted. 

Pickleville Commons has been red flagged.  There are some water issues that must be taken care of by the state before additional work can be done at that subdivision.  Because the City does not have a full-time engineer, the State has to take over that responsibility to check all water projects undertaken.  This is the case in this situation.  The State needs to make sure all water items are meeting state requirements.

Originally, the trailhead at Hodges Canyon was a partnership between the City and State.  The State was responsible to keep the bathroom clean, and the City was to maintain the parking lot.  The State has not been taking care of the bathrooms.  Contact has been made with the State and hopefully this matter will soon be resolved. 

Argyle has been invited to join a North Utah Water Alliance.  The individuals who belong to the organization all work with water treatment plants.  The members are kept aware of any law changes and form networking connections when problems or questions arise.  The Council encouraged him to join this organization. 

The City’s backhoe lease is up.  The cost this year will be a bit cheaper than last year.  We will still be getting the John Deere brand of backhoe. 

The trailer house on 75 North on the north side of the road in the middle of the block is a hazard.  It needs to be condemned.  George Peart, the Building Inspector, was asked to check into this matter and see about the trailer’s removal. 

There have been 26 building permits issued so far this year in Garden City.  Peart noted that Laketown currently has 6 building permits. 

Peart was informed that a garage on the Hillier property was built over the Labor Day Weekend.  No permit had been issued.  He was asked to check into this matter.  The Council also informed that all water issues on homes must have engineering approval.  Since the City does not have a full time engineer, this responsibility falls to the state.  Thus, the state must be informed and given an opportunity to inspect each project undertaken dealing with water.

The Muddled Male

Pinocchio

By Bob Stevens, The Muddled Male

         I’m afraid that your friend the Muddled Male is in a peck of trouble.  You will remember that in our last visit I offered myself for adoption.  Well, we only received one offer, and that was from our friend Darin, who felt sorry for me and said that he was willing to adopt me on a trial basis.  But, he emphasized, he would do so only if he could return me after three months if he felt that he could no longer stand it.  Well Ann, my wife, heard the first part, packed me and my iPhone in the car, and started down the hill to drop me off.  When Darin called back to reaffirm the second part of the agreement, Ann refused to provide a money back guarantee and the deal fell through.  Now I am in limbo with Ann still feeling the euphoria of my near adoption, and me with no place to go.  I would offer myself for adoption again, but I am afraid that I am now damaged goods because of my visit to the Dermatologist. 

            We lived for fifty years in the Seattle area.  Sunshine was scarce, or filtered, and there was little concern about sunburn or skin cancer.  Then we moved to the rarified atmosphere here on Sweetwater Hill where the sun is constant, burns are frequent, and I don’t like to wear a hat.  Which explains the two faint spots that appeared on the side of my nose after living here a few years.  Those who know me would say that my nose is the most prominent feature on my face.  Ann would say that it is the most prominent feature on Sweetwater Hill.  Either way, if my nose had to be removed it would be a noticeable change to the contour of my face.  Thus the reason for my visit to the Dermatologist who decided that both spots, along with some on my ears and my face were pre-cancerous and needed a magic application of Liquid Nitrogen.  Which explains the now dark, frost bite spots on my ears, nose, and face. 

            When I began lamenting, “Why me,” Ann told me that it was all my own fault since I wouldn’t wear a hat and because every time I write a Muddled Male column my nose grows longer and longer until it is now poking out underneath my furrowed brow and way out into the bright sunlight.  But my real worry was that if the liquid Nitrogen didn’t work, my nose might fall off.  Ann said that if it does, try not to leave it lying on the pillow next to her.  “But,” she said, “If you have to leave it lying there while you go to emergency, please use a clothes pin to pinch the end closed so that at least I don’t have to listen to it snore.”
