5. JOE IRIART - Request To Block Access Across City Owned Property Approved

Joe Iriart, 7465 South 1500 East, stated that he owns property in Miller Creek next to two parcels of ground owned by Price City. Several years ago, a waterline (Allen Lateral Pipeline) was constructed across this property. As the construction took place, a road was carved out of the weeds. Approximately one year ago, individuals who live in the Golding Subdivision started to use this road as a short cut to reach the Feichko Subdivision. An oiled road is available, but it takes longer to travel from one subdivision to the other. He would like to stop access across his property as well as the City=s ground by posting no trespassing signs. He has experienced vandalism, littering, and his fences being cut. The road is only to be used as an access for those who own the property, and is not a right-of-way. He has contacted other property owners and they are all in favor of closing the road. They all have their own access. Mr. Iriart presented a map and pointed out the areas of concern. Nick Tatton stated that he, along with Carbon County staff,

Further, that a letter from the City be prepared to that effect so that Mr. Iriart can present it to the Sherif=s Office in the event of a trespass, and if necessary, that the land be posted.

Promotions Committee. She has some good ideas and we should see the results in upcoming

activities. Currently being planned is the St. Patricks Day Parade on March 18, 2006. The design

committee, which slowed down during the holiday season, is excited to get going again and plans

to make a push to get their first activity underway. Plans are to assist business owners in redoing

their exterior designs and facades to continue to enhance downtown Price and the historic

buildings. She has applied for a grant to hire a historic consultant and feels it would be beneficial.
