GARDEN CITY, Utah. December 14, 2017. Zan
Murray, City Engineer, noted that the Stone property acquisition has been completed. The City was planning on building a barbed
wire fence along the area. They have
requested that it be a plastic fence with three rails so that it will match the
others fences in Buttercup. The distance
is about 475 feet which will be extremely expensive. The original agreement had a fixed
price. The Council agreed that this
would take a lot of money. The fence
will be the biggest item. There will
also be a culvert under the main road and perhaps another going into their
property. The time line is getting
short—could be into March.
The
property acquisition plan is ready for review.
The City has 60 days after acquisition.
This needs to be done as quickly as possible.
The water project is moving forward. Another
request has been made to the USDA for another funding grant.
A
contract for engineering for the 300 West alignment needs to be done. The road will continue across Shundahi and
Hansen’s property. Some of the roads are
pretty steep and may need some changes.
The road will drop down into Hodges Canyon. This area is also pretty steep. There is a large gully on the north side of
Hansen’s property. More information will
be gathered by next month concerning this road.
The
USDA funding needs interim financing by the City. The City doesn’t know for sure where to get
this money. Murray indicated that the City
needs to look at short term loans and their interest rates. They shouldn’t go over 2% - 3% interest rates. It was noted that Zions Bank has some really good
interim funding on bridging funds. Murray encouraged the City to check and get some options so that they will have a
choice of what would be the best for Garden City.
Elk’s
Ridge is done. All the easements are
done except one, which will be completed soon.
This subdivision is finally wrapped up.
The Contract Agreement for the water project specifically is being
checked for wording to make sure everything meshes with the funding terms.
