BUSINESS LICENSE DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Trena’s Paint Works, Trena Heath
Ms.
Trena Heath explained that she lives in Laketown and does interior faux
painting in residential housing. Council Member Price said that since it is a
service she will not need a sale tax number. Council Member Wride said that she
is not sure why she would need a business license in Garden City. To do work in
Utah she needs a business license in any city to be legal and Mrs. Heath said
that she does the service in Garden City.
Council
Member Gray made the motion to accept the business license application for
Trena’s Paint Works. Council Member Price seconded the motion. All in favor and
the motion carried.
L&L Landscaping, Amanda Lundahl
Ms.
Lundahl said that they would like to have a
landscaping business in Garden City. Her husband does skid loader work,
slab on grade, spreading gravel, etc. They will do the paperwork and phone
calls from their home in Buttercup Farms. Their equipment that will be kept at
the same place as Lutz Construction. There will be no employees and he does all
the contacts over the phone so there will not be any business traffic coming
into the home. She does have the contractor’s license and the sales tax number.
The sales tax number needs to be registered in Garden City, which at this time
is registered in Idaho. She will have to register with the Utah State Tax
Commission for a Utah license, and have it registered to Garden City.
Council
Member Price made the motion to accept the business license application for
L&L Landscaping and issue the license when we get the Utah State Tax Number
registered to Garden City. Council Member Gray seconded the motion. All in
favor and the motion carried.
Lakeview Cabins, Nate Parry
Mr.
Parry is not here at this time.
BEER LICENSE DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
The Bears Den, Tom Bashford & Marty Phipps
Mr.
Marty Phipps explained that he is an owner of the Bears Den at the Sinclair
Station. When they bought the store they just got the keys and had to work from
there. That is why there has been a delay in getting their beer license.
Council Member Wride asked if they are only selling closed containers. Mr.
Phipps said that it will just be packaged beer, like they have had in the past.
Council
Member Gray made the motion to accept the application for the retail beer
license for the Bears Den. Council Member Wride seconded the motion. All in
favor and the motion carried.
ZONE CHANGE DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL
Ned
Calder, Tammy Calder, Paul Nance and Dorothy Nance
Mr.
Calder explained that the Planning & Zoning Commission has approved the
zone change from Recreation Residential to Community Commercial for parcel
numbers 41-20-00-047, 41-20-00-048, 41-20-00-014, 41-20-00-040, 41-20-00-046,
41-20-00-019, 41-21-40-094, 41-21-40-131, 41-20-00-037, 41-20-00-015,
41-20-00-016, 41-21-40-095, 41-21-40-099, 41-21-40-106, 41-21-40-1 15, 4
1-20-00-020, 41-21-40-097, 41-21-40-117. Mr. Calder explained that there is already
a lot of commercial property that borders the property that they want to
re-zone. If there is a small area of recreational residential to the east of
this property then he will need to clean that up and make it all commercial so
there is not an island in there.
Council
Member Price made the motion to accept the re-zone for Ned Calder, Tammy
Calder, Paul Nance and Dorothy Nance from recreational residential to community
commercial according to the parcel numbers listed. Council Member Wride
seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
BUSINESS
LICENSE DISCUSSION/APPROVAL
Lakeview Cabins, Nate Parry
Mr.
Parry explained that he wants to apply for a business license to do contract
sales of log kits and offer the service of installation. He mainly wants to be
a sub-contractor and hire local contractors to set them up. He has his
contractor license, sales tax number, workers compensation, etc. It will be in
the office on 2nd north where he will have the show room, mortgage
company, etc. He will be the only one that will have an office and be housed in
that building. He will have Lakeview Cabins and Freedom Mortgage Company there.
Council
Member Wride made the motion to accept the business license for Lakeview Cabins
under condition that he gets the correct tax number and the Utah State Tax
number on file here. Council Member Price seconded the motion. All in favor and
the motion carried.
REQUEST
TO SUBDIVIDE PARCEL INTO 4 LOTS
Jeannie
Willis
Ms.
Jeannie Willis showed her plat. The parcel that she wants to subdivide extends
from 1st west to 3rd west. The Planning & Zoning Commission made the motion
to allow the subdivision. It will be called the Berry Patch. Council Member
Wride said that eventually we may need to widen 3rd west, which is 56 feet wide
right now. Mayor Hansen said it would be really hard to widen that area
considering there are already buildings along that stretch of road.
Council Member Gray made the motion to allow the subdivision of 4 lots
extending from 1st to 3rd west. Council Member Wride seconded the motion. All
in favor and the motion carried.
ENCUMBRANCE
AGREEMENT TO RUN WITH THE LAND
Guy and Gordon Evans
Mr. Guy
Evans explained that the property they are requesting the encumbrance for is
located in A&R subdivision, which is just off 200 north on the lakeside of
the highway. Their property is to the south of the Akre’s and north of Audra
Case. They have 2 lots and they want to make them buildable so they can sell
the property or build on it. There is no homeowners association in that
subdivision.
Council
Member Gray made the motion to approve the Encumbrance Agreement to Run With
the Land for lots 3 & 4 of A&R Subdivision. Council Member Wride
seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
AUDIT PRESENTATION FOR FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, 2004
THROUGH JUNE 30, 2005,
Gary
Teuscher
Mr.
Teuscher went through the financial report and explained all the revenues and
expenses. We are in very good financial status at this time. Mr. Teuscher
suggested a couple of things that the clerks can do that would make the audit
easier.
Mayor
Hansen stated that we should all be commended on how we take care of the
people’s money, the Council and the clerks.
Council
Member Price made the motion to accept the audit for year ending June 30, 2005.
Council Member Wride seconded the motion. All in favor and the motion carried.
ISLAND ANNEXATION UPDATE
We have
had no comments from the property owner that will be annexed so we will proceed
with the public hearing next month.
GRANTS UPDATE
Community
Development Block Grant and the Rural Community Grant
We are
sending in the request for funding for the CDBG and the RCA Grants.
Transient
Room Tax Grant
The
2005 grant is in the process of spending the funds and should be completed
before the end of the year.
The
2006 grant is still waiting for approval.
SWAN
SPRING CULINARY WATER PROJECT UPDATE
Mayor
Hansen explained that they met with the Engineer and the Pall representatives.
They are the suppliers of the micro filtration system. We did have other
companies interested in giving a proposal for their equipment but we haven’t
received their proposals yet. Mayor Hansen said that the maintenance will be
much more expensive for the other systems than with the Pall system. He said
that he would be really hesitant to go with one of the other companies. We are
required to received bids from each manufacturer then they will have a
committee that will score their bids and determine if there is one that will
meet our needs.
We will
have 3 racks of 32 modules each. Each rack will be able to do 2.5 Million
gallons per day. It will have the ultimate capacity of 3 to 4 times what we are
doing right now. They will warranty the filters for 10 years but the life of
our filters will be about 50 years because of the use.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS

Canvass
The
Council agreed to hold the Election Canvass on Tuesday, Novemberl5th at 5:00 p.m.
New
Planning & Zoning Commission Member Appointment

the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Council

Zoning Commission. Council Member Price seconded the motion. All in favor and
the motion carried.
New

Mayor

Update
on the letter of credit for Elk’s Ridge Subdivision, Mr. Frank Smith
The
Planning & Zoning Commission made the stipulation that we need a letter
from Mr. Smith’s engineer indicating the amount it will cost to finish the
project and Mr. Smith will get a new letter of credit in that amount prior to
the expiration date of the current letter of credit.
BUILDING INSPECTOR REPORT
Mr.
Erickson said that he will have his car fixed and returned to him tomorrow.
Mr.
Erickson explained that they met with Tom Bashford regarding the building that
is going on inside the Sinclair building and told them that they need a
building permit. They are remodeling the bathrooms. They already have things
outside the building that is for sale. There is still a lot of merchandise
outside the old building also. They were told during the last meeting that they
would not have things outside for sale. Mayor Hansen said that he is okay with
the stuff on the sidewalk but the minute it encroaches outside the porch then
we need to stop it. Council Member Wride said that the ordinance states no
outside sales. If we are going to allow it then we need to change the
ordinance. We also can’t allow them to put it outside where the parking goes.
Mr.
Erickson stated that the building where the Bears Den used to be is owned by
Mr. Wendell Winegar and it was built for 30 lb snow load. Mr. Winegar has gone
back to his engineer and has a new drawing that Mr. Erickson did accept for the
remodel but it has to be exactly as it is on the plans.
Mr.
Erickson said that Mr. John Nelson is planning on going on a mission in March
or April which will leave him without a second person. If we post the job we
probably won’t get anyone to apply for the job that has much certification. He
said that we need to do something to try to get another person here to help
him. The Council told Mr. Erickson to put together a proposal for a new person.
Mr.
Erickson said that he would like to do another training like they did last
year. They will concentrate on the issues that are happening around here.
