GARDEN CITY, Utah.  June 9, 2016.  Paul and Dottie Nance asked that the City terminate the Covenant to run with the land, Lot 2, and Lot 19 of Buttercup Farms, Plat 1, 41-21-39-002 and 41-21-39-019.  The encumbrance was removed.

A request was made to encumber lots 63 and 98 of Buttercup Mobile Home Estates by James and Cathrine Blaisdell.  These two lots are adjacent to each other.  The request was approved.

Elk’s Ridge water system easement and property agreement agenda item was addressed in the newspaper article about Garden City/Elk’s Ridge Agreement presented by Zan Murray, the City’s Engineer.

There was a discussion by the council concerning rental fees for fund raisers.  Because it is difficult to determine what a valid fund raiser is, no change in rental fees was made.

Several individuals have suggested that perhaps short-term rentals have a major impact on the City’s water system.  Currently, the council is looking into this by comparing water usage by short term rentals compared to water usage by year-around residents.  The data being used is from last July and August. This information will be available soon.

The Library Rummage Sale was scheduled for June 10 and 11.  

Rich Monk is in charge of the swimming pool and will follow-up on any problems there.

The Marina enlargement may still be considered in the next legislature.  Senator Hillyard was able to get $25 million pledge to this project.  That means he was only $10 to $15 million short.  One more year will allow him time to be able to find the required additional monies to allow the project to move forward.
