GARDEN CITY, Utah.  August 10, 2017. Cory Rasmussen appeared before the Council to ask permission to do an Eagle Scout project that involves the city.  He would like to make holders for the American flag when flags are put up on the smaller light poles in the City.  Currently, the flags are put next to the poles and taped in place.  He thought holders would be nicer looking and easier to handle.

He thought that a bracket around the light pole and then clip the flag to the bracket would work.  The bracket could be raised and lowered depending on the size of the flags being used.  Another possibility would be to have a slider on the pole where the flag could be placed and then pinned into position.  His third suggestion was to have a tube next to the pole and the flag could be dropped into the tube.

There are approximately 30 small light poles in the City.  It was noted by the Council that the city has some scrap metal that Rasmussen could use if he needed it.  It was suggested that whatever he did, that it should be powder coated to keep the metal from rusting.  The City approved the project and told Rasmussen if he needed some financial help, he should write up a budget and give it to Pat Argyle.

The City approved licenses for six more short term rentals as follows:

1.     Dr. Patrick Smith is the owner of a lodging at 942 #4 Newburg.  Bear Lake Lodging will be managing this property.

2.      Dr. Ken Poulsen owns a home at 932 S. Snowmeadows.  He will manage his own rental.

3.     Frank McBride owns a condo at 2176 Bear Lake Blvd #414 at Ideal Beach.  He will be taking care of his own condo.

4.     Ted Rudder is the owner of a property at 930 Yacht Drive #3.  Bear Lake Lodging will be managing this property.

5.     Jennifer Workmen is the owner of property at 918 Newberg Drive #3.  Bear Lake Lodging will also manage this property.

6.     Dan Smith owns property at Ideal Beach Resort.  The location is 2176 South Bear Lake Blvd. #280.  He will manage his own condo.

 

The Council approved the request of Chris and Amy Pendleton to unencumber lots 1, 2, and 3 of Buttercup Mobile Home Estates, 41-21-320-0001, 41-21-320-0002, and 41-21-320-0003.

It was noted that the wireless tower is up and functioning.  It was put in place by CentraCom.  The service can be purchased through them.  It has already been most helpful when the numbers of visitors were high.  Work on the communication needs at the City Office will soon be completed as well.

Darrin Pugmire has been working on getting information concerning the road between Jim Stone’s and the small cabins to the north of his place.  Norm Mecham noted that the road between those two businesses has been in existence for many years and should be opened for future use. Darrin will follow up on this issue.  Pugmire said the road needs to be 30 feet wide and that the City needs a deeded right-of-way for that road.

Mayor Spuhler said that the Planning and Zoning Committee needed to add to the subdivisions and PUDs ordinances a clause that requires developers to put in conduit in the future.  It is not that expensive and will certainly be needed in the future.
