COUNCIL MEMBERS’ REPORTS

April 5, 2018

Reported by Anita Weston

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  April 5, 2018.  Darrin Pugmire, Council Member, reported that the Third West Road is moving along well.  Changes that were required are working out well.

Future roads going further South is a work in process.  Pugmire reported that he is the process of getting deeds for the property that will needed to complete this road.  He will be working on this for some time.  The City will be going back to the Utah State Highway Department in 2019-2020 asking for more money to continue Third West to Hodges Canyon Road.  Not only do we need to get deeded property, but the City needs to be looking toward getting additional money to make sure the roads will be built.

Pat Argyle, Council Member, said that Heritage Park will be finished up as quickly as possible.  The Easter Egg Hunt was a success.  However, she would like to see the Easter Egg Hunt next year held up by the red building or in the field above the red building so that it will be more of a challenge to the children to find eggs. 

Ken Hansen, Council Member, reported that the library is doing great.  They hold functions for the children that are well prepared and well attended.  That takes a great amount of effort to keep things going like that.  The people working there are doing a great job.

Two water projects have been completed.  One was up by the Water Treatment Plant.  The lines had to be changed to get water to some homes across Swan Creek.  The realignment went well and cleaned up the problems that were evident.  They also added fire protection in that area.

Hansen has purchased more lights to go into the Conference room by the Library.  The Library has already had new lights installed which has been a great improvement.

Howard Pope, Council Member, reported that this last month at the pool has been a good one.  Things seem to be going well there.

Pope asked to use the 4-wheeler snow plow to ride the trails in the next day or two.  Mayor Leonhard noted that Mitch Poulsen has called a meeting for May 1.  Everyone will meet at the City Offices at 1 p.m. for a Trails meeting.  They will be going over the trails.  D & R, the County, and anyone else interested can participate in this activity.

Pope noted that sweeping the bike path has really made it look better this spring.  He wanted to know when repairs may be made on the bike path.  It was noted that the City does a section of the bike path each year to keep it in good shape.  There is a problem at 130 West.  They will have to cut through the path and put in a culvert.  They will then need to do an overlay.  That will be done in the next few weeks. 

Mayor Leonhard noted that the City is having a Clean-up Day on May 5.  Everyone is invited to help.  UDOT will be providing garbage sacks.  The Fire Department is going to burn on Third West to First West.  The County said they would like to help as well.  Roberts has a wood chipper that they will allow the City to use that day.  Bryce Huefner noted that his garbage truck could be available that day as well.  There will be a fun lunch at noon at the park.  They will be serving tacos. There will be some raffles at noon as well.  The prizes are being donated by some of the businesses in town.

EVERYONE IS INVITED.  BRING ALL YOUR FRIENDS.   HELP FROM EVERYONE IS NEEDED!
