Garden City Beach Etiquette
The Beach Access on 150 South has been locked with a new lock as someone without City permission left the gate open on Friday and Saturday.
The reason the gates are locked is because the City does not have anyone to manage the accesses. If ;you would like to volunteer to greet people, had out doggie doo bags, check for the quagga certification, and clean the beach each night, please call the City Office.
Garden City requires you to take a quagga certification test at the Marina (maybe online) pay your $75 and enjoy the beach accesses for the summer.
The City will outline the areas for parking this week and the areas where you may not park in hopes that people will use common sense and park 50 feet from the edge of the beach and stay off the wet lands.
It will be an experiment in self-control.
Thanks for helping keep the Garden City Beaches open when we can..

Rich County Commissioner’s Information July 6, 2022
Agenda:
Pledge
10:00 Concerns
about the traffic going through Randolph on their way to Bear Lake were
presented by Sim Bell. Some of the traffic doesn’t slow down. He asked if the
Board had any solutions. Suggestions were made to place a patrol car at the
various places to make people think police are on duty and watching for speeders. A fun suggestion was asking
UDOT to paint the road in very large print. “Slow Down, you’re in a town”.
10:30 Ben Willoughby suggested that 3 ordinances be updated.
He had located the only two ordinance books for Rich County and found that some
of the ordinances were hand written 50 years ago.
The first ordinance of discussion was, “Providing for Theft
or Crime Insurance in Lieu of Fidelity Bonds for County Offices”. The State of
Utah updated their laws in 2007 and the board decided to go with Mr. Willoughby’s
outline. (This was much more fun in person than on paper)!
The second ordinance dealt with “Control of Dogs and other
Pets”. The Ordinance had been written in 1981 requiring all dogs to be licensed
once a year and the Sheriff was in charge of enforcing the ordinance. Ben will
write the new ordinance with input from other cities. No wild animals are to be
kept as pets. (Ok people-that means no alligators in your pool).
The Beehive ordinance was the last ordinance discussed. Ben
suggested repealing the Rich County Ordinance and replacing it with the Utah
State Code. Also, beekeepers will need to notify the Rich County clerk annually
where the beehives are located so that aerial spraying can be done safely for
the bees.
A tougher discussion was the per diem expenses incurred by
officals of the County attending meetings. This has to be written out because
of liability to the County and the attendee.
11:30 Eden Ranch Subdivision Phase 3 plat amendment to
combine 3 lots into 2. Approved.
Krystal Butterfield shared the legal Description of the Road
shed and deed. Approved with exemptions..
After lunch Kim Wilson presented the Personal Property and
Assessment Roll Corrections. Approved. It was also discussed as to the ever
changing tax laws that there probably will be an increase in taxes for 2023.
There will be a public hearing next month for the changes in
the Ordinances.
You can watch the proceedings on Facebook for Jon Lee
commissioner.
Swan Creek Canal Company Information
Swan Creek Canal Company July 11, 2022
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Paul Webb. The
Board members present were Terry Allen, Bill Cox, Curtis Moldenhauer, and Riley Argyle on
the phone.
Jennifer Cassillas tendered her resignation. The board
accepted it with thanks to Jennifer for serving many years.
Discussion was held on a replacement for Jennifer. The board
has interviewed a candidate. Some of the problems facing the board is the tracking
of 1,000 shares. Jennifer worked hard on this particular problem, but sometimes
families didn’t record them with the Canal Company when they gave them to their
children.
Another problem the board discussed was the breach of the canal.
Engineers, geologists, and big trucks hired by Conestoga with the advice from
the canal board worked together to solve the issue. Of course renters at the
Ranch were not happy with the noise and the dust from the work that had to be
done so it took a little longer to finish. Now it is time for the bills to be
paid and the insurance companies and lawyers will work on that.
(The Board
agreed to meet again in August).
The Board has contracted with JUB to help find grants to
pressurize the pipe from Harbor Village to ? . Discussion
was held on the pipe sizing. The engineers will be able to tell the board which
size to get. The grant requires at 50% match in monies which will be difficult
for Swan Creek Canal Company to raise. Hopefully by next year the grant will be
in place.
Trails to go on top of the canal were discussed. Another
topic was the idea of how to use water shares not currently being used.
The meeting adjourned.
