Traveland at Bear Lake requested relief on water bills when
the business is closed. He said that looking at the documents the city provided
at the time he bought the RV park it seemed clear to him that the city would
not allow him to operate in the winter.
That was also what the previous owners told him, so he believed he
should not have to pay for water to all of the RV spots during the period from
September 15 to May 15. Mayor Spuhler read the documents that were
provided and said “I can see why you were confused, but this is in reference to
a proposal to put year round park models in the RV park and we made that
stipulation so that it would stay an RV park and not become a trailer park.
Councilman Darrin Pugmire said that the water infrastructure
costs are year round and all other
businesses have to pay year round. He said that the City in an effort to
encourage year round business has a program that if you are in a commercial
area and are open three days a week you get a 20% water discount . Every business and many summer residents have
the same issue but the infrastructure must be there and paid for so that the
water is there when needed.
Traveland RV then petitioned for relief for this winter
since he had understood that the city prohibited his being opened in the
winter. It was clarified at this meeting
that Traveland could be opened year round.
Spuhler said that because the documents the city provided and that he followed
were confusing, perhaps he could operate, this year only, under last year’s
rules. Pugmire made a motion to do that
and that it would be a one-time relief for the winter of 2015. It was approved.
Donald and Katleen Porter requested a business license for
Glitz Me, a retail store at 65 W Logan Road. Lance Bourne’s Bear Lake Water Adventures was also granted a
business license.
