OUT-OF-CITY WATER CONNECTION REQUESTS

 

Council was approached by Chad Doty for permission to purchase 33 culinary out-of-city water connections to service the Estates at Crescent Ridge subdivision.  Previously this past September, 12 connections had been authorized and approved for this subdivision.  Mr. Doty is now asking for connections to service the remainder of the subdivision.  Mr. Doty stated that the originally approved nine connections will be used within the next six months and is not able to make a commitment on when these additional 33 shares will be utilized.  Mayor Cowan expressed concern that the current water drought conditions make it difficult to approve this number of connections under these circumstances.  Council concurred with this assessment.  Mr. Doty was told to come before Council again in the future when the need for water was more  immediate.

 

Stacey Porter appeared before Council last week to ask for a single residential culinary out-of-city water connection.  This item was not on the agenda for that meeting and so it is to be considered at this meeting.  After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Vaun Ryan to approve this request.  Motion seconded by Councilman Dave Woolstenhulme.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

NEIGHBORHOOD DUMP SITE CONCERN

 

Kelly Kennington came before Council to express concern with a dump site at the end of the paved road in their development in Pepperidge.  The neighbors would like the situation resolved.  Council committed to participate in taking care of this issue.  Neighbors were asked to take license plate numbers on those vehicles using this location to dump their refuse.

 

MEADOWBROOKS SUBDIVISION PLAT MODIFICATION

 

Kyle Snow, representing Gordon Snow, came before Council seeking approval to adjust a property line between two lots owned by Snow’s.  After review and discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Guy Coleman to approve this request.  Motion seconded by Councilman Vaun Ryan.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

MISSOULA CHILDREN’S THEATER REPORT

 

Kim Hales, representing the Missoula Children’s Theater appeared before Council to report on the success of the Missoula Children’s Theater that was funded through the Basin Arts Council with ZAP tax funding.  Kim stated that this event was such a success they will have the Missoula Children’s Theater come again next year.

 

CHILDREN’S ARTS PROJECT REPORT

 

Michele Catten came before Council to report on a number of children’s programs she is involved with.  Michele explained that the children’s programs are not part of the Basin Arts Council and since she is also involved in the Arts Council she wanted Council to be aware that Arts Council money coming from the ZAP tax was not funding the children’s program.  She explained that some people had been concerned since the ZAP tax money was specifically given to the Arts Council.  Council suggested that since these programs benefit the entire county, the County Commission should be approached for funding.

 

HOME OCCUPATION PERMIT

                                   

Council reviewed an application from Dustin Redmond for a home occupation permit for an office for Rizing Tower, Inc.  After review and discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Robert Yack to approve this permit request.  Motion seconded by Councilman Guy Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.

number of years over which the bonds may mature, the maximum interest rate which the bonds may bear, and the maximum discount from par at which the bonds may be sold; providing for the publication of a notice of bonds to be issued; providing for the running of a contest period; and related matters.  After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Dave Woolstenhulme to approve Resolution 2007-220.  Motion seconded by Councilman Vaun Ryan.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

NORTH COVE ROAD ACCESS CONCERN

 

Neil Wilkerson appeared before Council to express his concern with the condition of the North Cove Road which has been torn up because of installation of a pipeline from Sandwash Reservoir to the golf course which will provide secondary water to Roosevelt.  This is a federally funded Central Utah Project and is not under the direction of Roosevelt City.  Mr. Wilkerson feels this road has been closed long enough.  Although Roosevelt does not have any authority, Brad will contact the contractor and express the concerns of our citizens.

NEOLA WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT REPORT

Steve Pearson came before Council stating that he has property west of Roosevelt and is requesting out-of-city water service to this property.  This property is within Johnson Water District area but Dr. Pearson has received a letter from Johnson Water District stating that they cannot provide service to this property.  It will require extending the line and the cost to do so will be borne by the property owner.  Council stated they would need to obtain additional information from city personnel before making a final decision.

 

KARL’S CARPET DEED OF LAND CONVEYANCE

 

Neil White of Karl’s Carpet has asked if Roosevelt City will allow him to obtain a small 30’ portion of property owned by Roosevelt City adjacent to his store in exchange for services.  After review and discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Dave Woolstenhulme to approve this request.
