FINAL PLAT APPROVAL – SOUTHTOWN SUBDIVISION PHASE II

 

Roger Brockbank came before Council seeking final approval for the plat of Southtown Subdivision Phase II.  It was noted that the mylar plat did not yet have the signature of the city’s engineers, although verbal approval has been given.  After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Coleman to approve the mayor signing the final plat after Horrocks Engineers have affixed their stamp and signature to the plat.  Motion seconded by Councilmember L. Yack.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

PLAT AMENDMENT – BLOCK 8 PLAT B

 

Vaughan Parrish came before Council seeking approval for a plat amendment for Block 8 Plat 8, formerly known as the Frandsen Apartments.  This amendment will divide the lot which has both a home as well as apartments into two lots separating the home from the apartments.  Planning and Zoning recommended this change.  After review and discussion, a motion was made to approve this request by Councilman Woolstenhulme.  Motion seconded by Councilman Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

WATER EXTENSION REQUEST

 

Vaughn Edwards came before Council seeking approval from Roosevelt City to extend the water line at 3250 North on the east side of Crescent Road.  This requires 2,575 feet of pipe and they are asking that the city provide the pipe and fittings, the labor and supervision of the project, and the equipment to do the work.  Jim Edwards would agree to dig the trench, backfill the trench, and furnish fill dirt to extend this line.  This effort is to obtain two hookups that will require an additional 900 feet going east off the main line with the cost of this additional footage to be borne entirely by Jim Edwards.  Jim will be responsible for pushing the line under the road.  Jim will also be responsible for obtaining any necessary rights-of-way.  After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Woolstenhulme to approve this partnership request and permission to purchase two residential out-of-city water connections.  Motion seconded by Councilman R. Yack.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

FINAL PLAT AMENDMENT – SATHER’S

SUNRISE SUBDIVISION PHASE II

 

Zoning Director Roger Eschler explained that this plat has been in place for some time, but had never received final approval from Council and this needed to be done.  After review and discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Coleman to give final approval to Sather’s Sunrise Subdivision Phase II as presented.  Motion seconded by Councilman L. Yack.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

CITY ENGINEER BID REVIEW

 

Roosevelt City had advertised for bids to provide engineering services to the City.  In order to receive federal and state funding, engineering services need to be bid every five years.  Only one bid was received and it was from Horrocks Engineers.  After review, a motion was made by Councilman L. Yack to accept the bid from Horrocks Engineers to provide engineering services to Roosevelt  City for a five year period.  Motion seconded by Councilman Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

CEMETERY FEE DISCUSSION

 

Council reviewed the current Resolution which outlines the fees for purchase and use of grave sites.  Council discussed the need to increase the fees because they have not been reviewed or changed for eleven years.  Mayor Cowan stated that he feels with the increasing costs of materials and labor all city fees should be reviewed on an annual basis.  Council directed that a new fee resolution be drafted and brought before Council for approval.  Cemetery Sexton Drew Eschler addressed Council regarding a concern he has with increasing use of shepherd hooks in decorating graves.  Use of these hooks exceeds what is allowed in the city ordinance and it creates a real maintenance problem.  It is recommended that their use only be allowed over the Memorial Day period.

 

EXECUTIVE SESSION

 

A motion was made by Councilman R. Yack 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 Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

HOME OCCUPATION PERMIT APPLICATION

 

Council reviewed a home occupation permit from Jeff Back to use his home for an office for his welding business.  After review and discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Woolstenhulme to approve this home occupation permit.  Motion seconded by Councilman Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

QUIT CLAIM DEED – DUCHESNE SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT

PROPERTY PURCHASE OF OLD MAINTENANCE YARD

 

A Quit Claim deed has been prepared selling the old maintenance yard property located directly South of Stewart’s Market.  There are 3.55 acres which are being purchased by the Duchesne Soil Conservation District to build a new office building.  The purchase price for this property is $140,000.00.   A motion was made by Councilman Woolstenhulme to authorize Mayor Cowan to sign this quit claim deed as previously agreed.  Motion seconded by Councilman Coleman.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

CEDARVIEW/MONTWELL WATER SERVICE AGREEMENT

 

Council discussed the proposed Cedarview/Montwell Water Service Agreement as revised by Roosevelt City Attorney Clark Allred.  Having this agreement in place will allow Cedarview/Montwell Water Service District to apply for funding sources so they can install the infrastructure for their water system.  After review, a motion was made by Councilman Coleman to give final approval for the Mayor to sign the contract with Cedarview/Montwell Water Service District for Roosevelt City to provide them water.  Motion seconded by Councilman L. Yack.  Motion carried unanimously.
