Rich Civic Times

GARDEN CITY, Utah. July 11, 2019. The meeting was called to order at 5:00 p.m. Jordan Perry was given the oath of office as a city council member by Kathy Hislop, Garden City’s secretary. Perry is replacing Darin Pugmire who was on the board but who has moved away.

There were four companies requesting business licenses to operate their businesses here in Garden City. The Bike Bear Lake, LLC., owned by Kirk Topham was granted a license. He will be building bears using a saw. These carvings will be for sale as well as having bikes for rent.

Bear Lake Lookout requested to conduct a short-term rental business at 886 Cambry Dr. owned by Tamara Myers. The license was approved.

GB’s Fab Shop, LLD., requested to conduct a mental art creation, fabrication, and light repair business located at 1499 South Bear Lake Blvd owned by Brad Davis. Davis started out with a hobby shop in his garage. He makes metal items as well as signs. It is a home business, and he has a web site online. He has retired and is spending more time creating different items and would like to get a license to be able to sell the items he will make. The Council told him that he could put one sign on his garage since this was a home business. The License was approved.

Brenda Walker asked for a business license for a lawn care business. She was asked where she lived. She has a home on Sweetwater Hill. Sweetwater Hill is in the County. The Council members asked her to get a license from the County, and she would be welcome to do lawn work any where in this area.

There were 18 requests for short-term rental licenses. All of the short-term rentals on the list below were given licenses with the stipulation that they obtain a Certificate of Occupancy that is required for each short-term rental.

Chris Shurian of Water's Edge was in attendance. He had been to the Planning and Zoning meeting the night before and was given the go-ahead with the building of a new condo complex. It will contain eight units. This property is located at Water’s Edge Resort, Phase 8A. There was a short discussion concerning parking and ingress/egress. Shurian wants to begin the building this coming fall. There were a few concerns that will be taken care of by Shurian. The motion was made and passed to allow Shurian to begin building a new building at Water’s Edge Resort.



Resolution #R19-02 is a resolution updating the employee handbook to include the acceptable use of Town Property. After a short discussion, the motion was made and passed to accept the Resolution.

There is a Public Comments section on the agenda that allows people to express problems and interests. It was noted that there were some problems with a short-term rentals and the number of cars parked at that location. The citizens concerned were told that all they must do is called the City Enforcer. He will take care of the problem.

There will be a census in 2020. If anyone is interested in helping with the Census, please let the City Office Employees know.

Pat Argyle is asking for volunteer helpers for the Heritage Park and Raspberry Days. She would really appreciate those who would like to help.

At Raspberry Days, there will be a few changes. There will be a children’s parade prior to the regular parade. The vendors will all be at Heritage Park and there will more of them than in the past. The entertainment will be using the new stage at Heritage Park. There is a field right across the street from Heritage Park that will be open for parking and will minimize congestion.

The Mayor noted that he and the Lieutenant Governor will be present and will be the individuals handing out prizes for various activities. The theme for Raspberry Days is “Greatest Show on Earth.”

The Mayor has been meeting with UDOT. There will be a cross walk at 100 West across to the Post Office. The other cross walk will be next to LaBeaus. Hopefully there two items will be in place by the time for Raspberry Days. There will be flashing lights with these cross walks.

There will be a stop light at the intersection. There will also be building turning lanes at the KOA and the Marina. The Girl Scouts are attempting to get a cross walk over by the City Park.
