OUT-OF-CITY WATER CONNECTION REQUESTS

 

Council received the following pre-approved subdivision out-of-city water connection requests:

 

            Red Rock/Mark Snow – Northtown Lot 16

            Red Rock/Mark Snow – Northtown Lot 21

            RS West – Stonegate Lot 53

            Shawn Womack – Stonegate Lot 48

            Ryan Clark – Stonegate Lot 34

            Red Rock/Mark Snow – Northtown Lot 19

            Mike Potter – Northtown Lot 18

            Chris Lloyd – Stonegate Lot 27

            Red Rock/Mark Snow – Northtown Lot 2

            Lewis Barney – Stonegate Lot 19

 

After review and discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Lane Yack to approve these pre-approved subdivision out-of-city water connection requests.  Motion seconded by Councilman Vaun Ryan.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

Council also considered a request from Lloyd Hallett for an out-of-city connection to be located at 2102 West North Cove Road.  This connection will require an extension of our water line by 500 feet but is an extension the City needs to make in order to loop the system.  Council discussed the fact that even though this extension hadn’t been planned for now, perhaps this would be the time if Mr. Hallett is willing to participate in the cost.  It is estimated to cost approximately $15,000 to $16,000.  Since Mr. Hallett was not present, this matter will be tabled for now.

 

BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATION

                                   

Council reviewed a business license application from Perry Taylor for Western Petroleum Convenience Store #2.  After review and discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Dave Woolstenhulme to approve this application. Motion seconded by Councilman Robert Yack.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT

 

Police Chief Rick Harrison appeared before Council to give a report on the Police Department.  Chief Harrison reported that two detectives have recently left Roosevelt City’s employment and he plans to promote Jeremy Chapman to detective and would like to increase his wage by 5% immediately.  A motion was made by Councilman Dave Woolstenhulme to approve the requested 5% raise for Jeremy Chapman.  Motion seconded by Councilman Guy Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.  There is concern that crosswalks and parking spaces need to be repainted.  Another issue discussed was nuisance situations faced by the Compliance Officer.  Council brought up the officer that patrols the schools and the appropriate entities to pay for this service.  A letter will be written to Duchesne School District.

 

ORDINANCE 2007-335 – AMENDING SEWAGE DISCHARGE FEES

 

Council discussed amending the sewage discharge fees to better reflect the costs to provide this service.  After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Robert Yack to adopt Ordinance 2007-335, amending sewage discharge fees.  Motion seconded by Councilman Guy Coleman.

 

COUNCIL ROOM SOUND SYSTEM UPDATE

 

Council reviewed a proposal to update the sound system in the Council Room.  It has not been working properly for some time and is the system originally installed when the building was constructed 13 years ago.  After discussion, Council concurred that we would not upgrade the system at this time.

 

NORTH COVE ROAD DISCUSSION

 

City Manager Brad Hancock reported that the North Cove Road is not useable at this time because of the Sandwash Pipeline installation.  The contractor is willing to put up $100,000 to put the road in the right way if the city would pay the remaining $100,000 it will take to complete the project.  The decision needed to be made last Thursday and Brad reported to Council that he had made that commitment out of our Road Budget.  This will enable a good road to be constructed with the financial participation of another entity.  Council concurred with Mr. Hancock’s commitment.

 

HAYDEN WELL #5 DISCUSSION

 

Hayden Well #5 has gone down so available water is down to 150 to 200 gpm.  The pump has apparently been ruined from sand.  A camera is being place down the well 170 feet to see what is going on and evaluate the situation.  Brad has talked with Johnson Water to see if Roosevelt can purchase water from them.  Engineering is being done to see where a connection can be made.  The cost of this water will be greater than the wholesale cost of water being charged to Neola and Council had a lengthy discussion on water needs.  Council would like to review the agreement with Neola to provide them with wholesale water.

 

GOLF COURSE PUMPING SYSTEM DISCUSSION

 

City Manager Brad Hancock reported that he would like to work something out with Johansen Construction, the contractor installing the Sandwash line that ends at the golf course, to construct a new golf course pumping system while they are at the location.  This will be an extensive pumping system, but will resolve problems that have been experienced for a number of years trying to water the golf course.

 

COUNCIL REPORTS

 

Vaun Ryan reported that he was impressed with the Old Mill Park dedication program.  Vaun also mentioned a particularly bad pot hole on 6th East.

Lane Yack reported that the cul-de-sac and Birch Avenue road also needs work done.  Lane also expressed concern with the July 4th events at Constitution Park and whether or not the Basin  Arts Council will be able to fulfill their commitment.

Guy Coleman reported on the most recent Planning and Zoning meeting.  Guy also reported that at the swimming pool he noticed that the plaster has come off a small section of the pool creating

sharp edges.  A solution that would not require draining the water is being sought.  It is hoped a rubber mat can be used to cover this area for the remainder of this year as opposed to draining the pool and doing major repair work.

Dave Woolstenhulme stated that the API golf tournament went well.  Dave also reported that Duchesne County gave $15,000 this year to UBIC.

Robert Yack reported that a road in Meadowbrooks Subdivision needs to be repaired and should still be under warranty of the contractor.

 

APPRAISEL REQUESTED

 

Mayor Cowan asked if Council had decided what they were going to do with the excess property the city owns in Ballard which had been purchased for a retention pond.  City Manager Brad Hancock will obtain an appraisal of this property and it will be discussed further.

 

EXECUTIVE SESSION

 

A motion was made by Councilman Vaun Ryan to go into an executive session to discuss a personnel matter and at the end of the discussion, return back into regular session.  Motion seconded by Councilman Guy Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

A motion was made by Councilman Dave Woolstenhulme to adjourn the meeting.  Motion seconded by Councilman Guy Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

Meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
