Rich Civic Times 

GARDEN CITY, Utah. September 19, 2019.  Lisa Duskin-Goede, who works for Bear River Heritage, gave a brief report to the City Council.  She had several handouts that she shared with the Council Members and told them that Rich County is in a heritage area.  She noted that she belongs to a sustainable organization that identifies and tries to save our heritage buildings and areas.  Bear River Heritage supports heritage areas and is attempting to get other heritage areas listed.  

She asked for the City Council’s support in attempting to save and enhance heritage areas and items.  She works on getting money to save and enhance heritage areas.  She gives out grants to make money grow.  She noted that there are web sites, pamphlets, brochures etc.  Currently $6,000 has been given to Rich County to save a cabin between Randolph and Woodruff. 

She noted that the three following towns in Rich County, Randolph, Woodruff, and Laketown all have documentary old homes (historic) that still exist.  They would make wonderful heritage areas where people could walk around and enjoy seeing an area of the town that is historic.

A request was made by Ephraim’s Location for a license to hold fruit sales at 300 W 150 S. This business is owned by Joe Weeks.  It would definitely be seasonal—available during summer and fall.  The motion was made and carried to give Weeks a license.

Bear Lake Laundry requested a license to conduct a commercial laundry facility for local residents and short-term rentals.  The request was made by Jared Hislop.  He said that he has the ability to clean 10,000 pounds a day of linens and towels.  The motion was made and passed to give Hislop a license.

The following short-term rental licenses were approved:

Ordinance #19-19, an ordinance updating the administrative code enforcement ordinance procedure was discussed. All changes were approved.  A motion was made to accept the ordinance with the changes.

Resolution #R19-03 is a resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Garden City to cancel the 2019 Municipal Election.  The two Council Members whose terms were ending said they would run in the election for another term.  However, no one else was interested in running.  Therefore, there was no need for an election.  The motion was made and passed to cancel the 2019 Municipal Election and have both Council Members remain in their current positions.

Resolution #R19-04 is a resolution updating the administrative code infraction fine schedule.  The Council Members went through the entire fine schedule one line at a time making suggestions and reasons for changes in the amount of the fees. The motion was then made and passed accepting the schedule with all of the suggested changes.
