Rich County Commission Meeting Aug. 7, 2024 (Remember to view the meeting online at YouTube)

 

G. R. Peart representing The Sons of the American Legion would like to have monetary help in establishing a plaque to commemorate the American Legion Post 52. These men take care of the Veterans Memorial Services. The Commissioners voted in favor.

Jeannie Limb from the Randolph Cemetery District asked that a board member be appointed to replace Geo Peart. Alice Argyle’s name was presented and she will serve in Geo’s place until Jan. 2026. The Commissioners reaffirmed the appointments of all board members to serve out their various term limits.

A presentation was made on a new employee tracking clock service.

Shawn Mill from BRAG and The Economic Development asked the Commissioners to decide how the rural County grant money of $200 K would be allocated for the new grant writing year. There are projects which need engineering and Brag needs county funding.  Shawn will write the grant according to the Commissioners plans and the CEO Board. The Commissioners have been waiting for reports before they could decide how much money they needed in reserve. They approved the decision to get the grant written by August 31st.

Kim Wilson asked the commissioners to let her office know who has access to the computer room as they keep it locked and just need to know who has permission to use it.

Kim is also the Secretary for the Ambulance Service and asked if the Commissioners were going to keep the rates for Ambulance call outs the same as last year. They are $1200 for a call out and $35 per mile. The State allocates $1552 for call outs and $42 per mile. The Commissioners voted to keep the rates the same.

She also presented the plan for online payments from patients that use the ambulance service. The cost is an extra 3% from the patient and 1 $25 per month charge to the County. The Commissioners authorized the online payment plan.

Garden City Town Council Notes for Aug. 8th 2024

 

#3 Public Comments elicited much discussion as to why the change in water fees. Once upon a time our spring water was not treated. Then someone claimed they had giardia from the spring. (It was proved that the spring did not have giardia but to be safe, the State had Garden City chlorinate our wonderful tasting spring water) and cap the spring so animals wouldn’t fall in. That lasted until about the year 2,000 and because of all the building the state informed us that Garden City had to have a water treatment plant. Sunrise Engineering helped the City arrange grants and loans to build the new treatment plant. When the plant came on line the City had to decide what to charge to pay for the loan for the treatment plant so they instituted a tiered plan: so much for the first tier, 2nd tier, 3rd tier. It was decided that the more we used the less we paid. That worked for a while then came the boom of secondary rentals and the water use went up (I am not blaming all rentals-just people in general who feel they can use as much as they like). The tiers had to be restructured so that the more water you use the cost goes up.

If you are using over your 15,000 gallons a month, then you are using someone else’s water and you will pay more.

We also learned that the State of Utah water usage is 150% over allocated rights

Riley Argyle, our Public Works Director, has to report monthly to the state how much water the City is using. The State will fine us if we go over our allotment.

The discussion went on to say that for 6,000 gallons, Bridgerland pays $92 per month.

Please check with the City about reducing your overage. They will help determine if you have a leak or your sprinklers are on too long.

Some question the charge for every month as they are here only 3 months. Well, the pipes have been in the ground for 40 years and have begun to deteriorate. They are costly to replace.

#4. Business Licenses for Firefly Powerbikes relocation-approved; Aloha Family Grill (formerly known as Fusion 89) original owners-approved; and Bear Lake Printing, located at 201 N. Bear Lake Blvd. This business will be helpful in sending and receiving packages!

#5 Short-term rental discussion all approved except Cozy Cabins (they had to add parking outlines. There was discussion as to what we enforce if they are in HOA’s.

#6 Request to encumber several parcels in Buttercup.

#7 Development agreement for Lakeview at Bear Lake (previously know as Elk’s Ridge Phase 2).

# 8 Final Plat for Crystal View (formerly Elk’s Ridge Phase 3)  

      Lot line adjustment in Bridgerland

      Lot line adjustment on Raspberry Patch road

Notes from the Garden City Planning & Zoning Meeting held Aug. 7, 2024

 

#3 Discussion about Food Truck locations was requested by the vendors. They would like to move because of the dust. The Planning and Zoning members had set up specific areas for the Food Trucks to be together in order to help the vendors enjoy more foot traffic and to avoid traffic congestion. The vendors were asked to bring back a proposal of where they would like to locate for next year.

#4 An off-Premise sign location for Carribean Cowboy was approved.

#5 Lot adjustment for Jeff Lerwill on Raspberry Patch Rd. was approved.

#6 The owner of 1079 Lakeview Dr. has problems selling his home due to conflicting surveyor’s stakes and years it was done. The home is too close to the next property. The P & Z suggested several ideas to get the lot line adjusted properly. (For your information-Bridgerland has 10’ set backs, but Garden City has 8’ on one side and 10’ on the other. The P&Z follows the HOA covenants.) The owner will need to come back next month with the corrected plat.

#7 Discussion was held on the Subdivision Plat for Crystal View Estates (formerly, The Fell.)
