GARDEN CITY, Utah.  March  9, 2017. Curtis Moldenhaur, KOA,  requested a name change to Bear Lake KOA Trailside for the RV Park at 145 N 300 W.  His business license for this park was granted.

Leo Spuhler appeared before the Council asking that he might be the concessionaire at the Garden City Park again this year.  He wants to continue to rent out water boards.  The Council members questioned him carefully and then agreed to give him the license required for this project.

A short term rental license was granted to Nick and Jackie Plumber.  The property is located at 889 Cambry Drive.

A discussion and approval of the cooperative agreement between the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands and Garden City was approved.  Further information concerning this agreement is in a separate article.  The Council felt this agreement be a very positive thing for Garden City because it limits costs when dealing with wildfires.

Ordinance #16-07 is an ordinance updating recreational vehicle requirements.  There were concerns dealing with sanitation, parking, and connections of other amenities.  After a short discussion, the ordinance was approved by the board.

The agreement between Garden City and Shore Lodge dealing with lake access was accepted by the City.  A copy of the agreement is contained in another article in this paper.

Elk Ridge Water System Easement and Property Agreement was approved by the Council.

Sharlene Millard was appointed to the Appeals Authority Board.  This year’s legislature passed a law that an employee needed to be part of the Appeals Authority Board.  

During the winter months, there is very little ordinance enforcement.  However, there are sometimes problems that do need to be addressed.

It was noted that a code enforcement hotline could be put in place that may make enforcement easier.  If there is a problem, an individual could call the hotline and give a short statement about the problem.  The hotline would make the connection to the individual in charge of that area. There will probably be further discussion on this item.
