KRZYMOWSKI AGREEMENT RATIFICATION

RYAN ROSS WATER DAMAGE CONCERN

 

Ryan Ross came before Council to address his concerns with damage to his home in the Cove he claims was caused from water that came from a Roosevelt City waterline break that occurred on August 24.  City crews were tapping into the main line to provide water service to Mr. Ross’s new home.  After Mr. Ross presented his concerns, Mayor Cowan stated that the claim has been submitted to our insurance company and we need to await their report.  Mr. Ross also stated that he had received a call from Roosevelt City’s insurance representative and had been told that the water damage was his fault, which has caused him grave concern. Again, Mr. Ross was told that until the insurance company gives us their final report, Roosevelt City’s agreement with the insurance company precludes other arrangements.

 

BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATIONS

 

Council reviewed business license applications from the following:

 

Basin Moving Storage from Wade Needles:  Council discussed whether or not this applied to an existing business or to construction of new storage facilities that will be coming before Planning and Zoning at their next meeting.  It was decided that the license applied to existing storage structures.  After review and discussion, a motion was made by Councilman R. Yack to approve the application.  Motion seconded by Councilman Ryan.  Motion carried

 

Cosmo’s from Dave Creamer:  Council discussed whether or not this license should be approved prior to Mr. Creamer’s compliance with state regulations pertaining to bars.  It was decided that state regulation required enough safeguards to protect the city.  After review and discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Woolstenhulme to approve the application.  Motion seconded by Councilman Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

PUBLIC HEARING – SUNRISE KNOLL SUBDIVISION

 

Mayor Cowan welcomed everyone to the public hearing on Sunrise Knoll Subdivision and stated that everyone wishing to do so would have an opportunity to speak.  It was suggested that the group have a spokesperson who could relay their concerns and then if there were any other issues, they be addressed.  Mr. Ken Secrest stated that he represented a number of the citizen and wished to address the Council.  He handed out a letter outlining their concerns and was signed by the citizens.  He stated that although his group welcome new neighbors, that several issues may have been overlooked and need to be addressed.  These issues included the following:  1. Roads , 2. Additional

street lighting, 3. Population of children, 4. Adequate sidewalks, 5. Speed bumps, 6. Center stripe on

Gates Drive, 7. Condition of road, especially with heavy construction equipment, 8. water drainage problem, 9. Noise and dust control during construction., 10. Sewer and water line are adequate size, 11. Animal control.  There were a number of comments made by others present that reiterated these concerns.  The developer and engineer on the Sunrise Knoll Subdivision were present and explained that there will be a homeowners association that will govern residents in the Sunrise Knoll  Subdivision.  It was stated that the homeowners association guidelines were the most stringent ever seen in Roosevelt.  Those present requested a copy of these guidelines and were told the attorney had not finalized them.  Mayor Cowan then stated that the developers of this subdivision had complied with all the legal requirements and Roosevelt’s engineers have given their final approval.  When asked how the citizens would like to be contacted after Council had had time to discuss their various concerns, it was the consensus of the public that Mr. Secrest will be the contact person through which Roosevelt City will communicate with those citizens concerned with these issues.

 

After everyone had an opportunity to speak and the public hearing was over, Mayor Cowan asked for a motion on approving the final plat for Sunrise Knoll Subdivision.  A motion was made by Councilman L. Yack to accept the Sunrise Knolls Subdivision Phase I plat.    Motion seconded by Councilman Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.

PHASE II AMENDMENT I.

 

Mayor Cowan asked if there were any comments from the public regarding the change in the Sather’s Sunrise Subdivision Phase II Amendment I plat.   There were none.  The only change to this plat is to combine two of the lots into one lot to make the lot larger.  After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Woolstenhulme to approve this amendment.  Motion seconded by Councilman L. Yack.  Motion carried unanimously. 

 

FAA CONTRACTS

 

Council reviewed two FAA contracts for consideration.  The first contract will relinquish Roosevelt City’s 2006 FAA Entitlement funds to Green River because Roosevelt City previously received the 2005 entitlement from Loa.  After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Coleman to approve Mayor Cowan signing this contract.  Motion seconded by Councilman Ryan.

 

The second contract will allow the FAA to reimbursement Roosevelt City for construction costs to install a new beacon tower at the municipal airport.  After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Woolstenhulme to approve Mayor Cowan signing this contract.  Motion seconded by Councilman L.
