GARDEN CITY, Utah. February 11, 2016.  Robert Peterson, Code Enforcement Officer reported that he is currently working on the sales tax report.  Business last summer was good.  Sales taxes for 2015 were up about 11.9 percent over 2014.

The Bear Lake Corridor Study meeting was held last Tuesday.  There were about 35 – 40 people there giving feedback and asking questions.  It was noted that feedback can still be made if one goes onto the internet  if you were unable to attend the meeting.  The more feedback they get, the better the study will be.

The recreational center project is moving forward.  JKB has been contracted to gather all of the required details and information so that the citizens of the City will be able to make a decision.  JKB will also write up all the needed information so that the bond issue can be placed on the November ballot where the citizens can decide if they want such a structure of not.

The City has been working with Utah State University on determining how the City can better advertise fall and winter activities.  They will be writing a proposal on what they find out which should be helpful to the City.  So far what they have done looks really good—neat and comprehensive.  It has been especially nice working with them, said Peterson.

The city has been working some grants.  The money amount is up to about $17,500.
