CEDAR HILLS DRIVE - Discussion - Committee Appointed
Robert Etzel, a co-owner of the Basso/Etzel Storage
Units located on Cedar Hills Drive, discussed the development currently taking
place on Cedar Hills Drive. He and his
partner have been asked to participate in the widening of the road at their own
cost. He expressed his concern
regarding the approach to the northern boundary of his storage units. If they were to install the curb, gutter and
sidewalk at their expense, the curb and gutter would actually adjoin the
asphalted road that is in place right now.
With the future development, it is his understanding that the new
surface will be 13' away from his curb and gutter and it would be his
responsibility as a developer to complete those improvements. It was also brought to his attention that
money was appropriated from Class “C” Road and grant funds to update Cedar
Hills Drive as the road was inadequate and also for safety purposes. With the current master plan of the road, it
seems that some parts of the road will not be consistent. The road will be widened to 55' on the west
side. In other areas near their
property where the curb and gutter is not in place, it will be lacking
13.7'. They installed those
improvements because of the safety issue.
He was hoping the whole road would tie in and it would be 55' all the
way through. He asked if he and his
partner would be reimbursed for the costs in the part of the development that
they participated in? It is also City
policy that 50% of the widening of the road is the responsibility of the City
and the
other 25% on each side is the responsibility of the
developer. As developers on the west
side, he will be willing to participate as long as there is participation from
the other developers. He does not want
to be singled out and feels it is not their responsibility to participate
solely in the project.
Councilmember Tatton asked if all the property owners
are participating and how the development on Cedar Hills Drive is being
funded? Gary Sonntag stated that the
project is inclusive of all the existing pavement that is in the road now, with
the exception of the pavement that has been installed within the last 5
years. It will not be removed but will
be joined with the development that is proceeding now. The only exception is the area that Mr.
Etzel discussed on the north end of his property where the existing pavement
was already at their future curb line.
That pavement will be taken out and not replaced at this time, primarily
because it is not consistent with the rest of the road. At some future time, it will have to be
widened, but it will have to be widened at the same time. Councilmember Tatton asked if anyone else
besides Mr. Etzel was participating?
Mr. Etzel stated that the area Price City is mainly concerned is at the
start of their development on the southern portion closer to Dr. Terry’s and
from there to 300 North. He does not
know why this was singled out. Gary
Sonntag stated that this is where the interest was initially. It doesn’t mean the north end can’t be done
too. It is the same with the area in
front of Dr. Terry’s property. If Dr.
Terry has an interest to do more, he certainly can. Councilmember Nikas stated that part of the reason why this area
on 3rd North to the beginning of Mr. Etzel’s property was
highlighted, including across the street from Dr. Terry’s, was because without
a 10' extension to the west, there would be a double yellow line instead of a
turn lane allowed. By having property
owners on this side participate on their total of about 15', which is about
their 25%, and if they participate in at least 10', then there could be a
center line at that intersection on both sides. The decision of the Council approximately 8 years ago, was to
complete improvements on the east side because it gave a safe walkway from the
subdivision down towards Smiths.
Councilmember Piccolo stated that at that time, it was unknown that
there was a misalignment on that road.
They thought the center line was well within its ranges. He sees an imbalance on this road. As the asphalt is torn out and the road
moved to the proper center line, and because there was asphalt there, that
taxpayer gains an advantage over Basso and Etzel or whoever has already paid
for that. He thinks that just because
there is pavement, that the east side of the road should not be disallowed
participation. If Basso and Etzel have
to pay for 13' of pavement, then rightfully so, and if the developer hasn’t
already paid for that, they should be responsible for that much pavement. If the nursing home and Carlson paid for
their development, then the City is maintaining it. If those developers have taken advantage of the City’s mistake by
putting the road in the wrong place and just because the asphalt is there, it
creates an unfair advantage. Its
benefiting one taxpayer more than the other.
Mr. Etzel stated that he looks at it that same way. He is willing to pay his share and wants to
see the other taxpayer pay their share.
MOTION.
Councilmember Piccolo moved that a committee, consisting of himself,
Councilmember Denison, Gary Sonntag, Vern Jones, and Pat Larsen, be appointed
to review this issue. Motion seconded
by Councilmember Denison and carried.

The proceeds of this dance will go towards the American Cancer Society’s
Relay For Life team. They are a
non-profit organization and just getting started. The Council expressed concern if something went wrong and someone
is injured who would be responsible and recommended that they try and get a
sponsor, such as the American Cancer Society or United Way. Steve Christensen, who was in the audience,
stated that Carbon Recreation would be willing to be their sponsor and assume
responsibility. The Council suggested
instead of blocking a street, that a large parking lot be used, such as the one
behind the museum or the one on Carbon Avenue.
MOTION.
Councilmember Denison moved that the dance be approved, that it be held
in a parking lot and that Ms. Anderson work with the Police Chief. Motion seconded by Councilmember Piccolo and

stock, that he be allowed to pay $1,650.00 in lieu of that share of water. Motion seconded by Councilmember Piccolo and

14.
BABE RUTH BASEBALL - Dedicated Usage of Toy Atwood Baseball Complex
Councilmember Denison reported that there has been
some discussion between the Babe Ruth Baseball teams and Carbon County
Recreation in changing dedicated uses of the different baseball fields that
they both have been using over the years.
Babe Ruth has had two fields at the Carbon County Fairgrounds that have
been designated for their use. The two
softball fields within the Toy Atwood Baseball Complex has been used by the
County Recreation for their girls softball program. The discussion has been to bring Babe Ruth back into Price and
give the fields at the Fairgrounds to Carbon Recreation. At this point, the Babe Ruth Board has met
and approved making that switch on a one year trial basis in anticipation of
making it permanent and where they would then release any interest in the
County fields. This would allow County
Recreation to run their program at the County fields with the anticipation of
Babe Ruth being able to utilize the upper softball field in the baseball
complex and also use the college field for spill over games. They would like to find some additional
practice fields, possibly renovating and working with the school district and
the City regarding the Pony League field behind Mont Harmon Junior High. The school district would like to see the
Pony League field renovated for some type of a sport use. The Babe Ruth Board is hoping the Council
supports this concept. He understands
Carbon Recreation approves this. Steve
Christensen, representing Carbon Recreation, stated that he has some
concerns. They are not interested in a
one year trial period. If they do it,
they want it on a permanent situation and they would like it in writing before
it is done. Mr. Christensen felt the
concept is a “win win” for everyone.
The softball complex at the Fairgrounds would be better served and he
thinks in the long run, the Babe Ruth would be better served. Councilmember Tatton asked why the City
field was altered to make it playable for Babe Ruth rather than softball and
the softball people moved off.
Councilmember Denison stated that he received a call Monday night from
the president of the Babe Ruth organization saying that he contacted Tom
Matthews and that approval was granted to do that. Because of this information, Councilmember Denison stated that he
placed a mound of dirt on the field to make it playable for Babe Ruth. Councilmember Tatton stated that in his
conversation with the Babe Ruth Board, that this was not approved and that Mr.
Matthews said he did not want to approve anything until everyone was
together. Mr. Christensen also
indicated this was the case and that it is still under discussion and that they
would have to come to some resolution among their people. They are all in agreement it is a good
thing, but they don’t want it to come back and bite them. They don’t want the Babe Ruth coaches, who
have already rebelled one time, to come back in a month and say they want the
fields back and they certainly don’t want to take the little girls out to the
Fairgrounds and then a year later kick them back to another field, as they are
the ones who get the short end of the deal and this is their biggest
concern. Councilmember Denison stated
that he would remove the mound of dirt that was placed on the field and turn it
back into a softball field. Mayor
Protem Nikas recommended that these boards get together and come back to the
Council with some recommendations on what they want to do. Steve Christensen stated that Carbon
Recreation is in total agreement with this trade and would like it to be
permanent. Frank Ori, who works for
Carbon Recreation and helps coach the CEU baseball team stated they had some
concerns because of the situation with Babe Ruth being on the softball
fields. A softball team actually done
damage to their baseball fields. He
asked if “no trespassing” signs could
be posted. Councilmember Tatton agreed
with this concept, however, this being a City facility, you don’t want to lock
people out. You need to establish a way
to control use of not only this field, but others, such as a scheduling
process. MOTION. Councilmember Tatton moved that an agreement
be worked out between the softball and baseball interests to include signs for
the other fields that are involved in this, including the college field. Motion seconded by Councilmember Piccolo and
carried.
15.
YOUTH CITY COUNCIL - Amendment of Bylaws
Chris Pehlar, representing the Youth City Council,

carried.

YOUTH CITY COUNCIL - Permission To Sponsor Dance In Peace Gardens
Chris Pehlar requested permission for the Youth City
Council to use the Peace Gardens on Saturday, May 20th to sponsor a
dance. Chris stated that Papa Murphy’s

parking lot area in the corner as opposed to the Peace Garden itself. Chris stated if this is a problem that the
pizza can be cooked elsewhere and brought to the Peace Garden. MOTION. Councilmember Wheeler moved that permission
be given to use the Peace Garden for their dance and that there be no
cooking. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Denison and carried.

Zoning Commission reviewed a request submitted by Serfina Nick, Paulmina New
and Rose Marie Hofer regarding a rezoning request for a parcel of property

unable to be developed because it is zoned RR which requires one acre

Public Hearing Scheduled
Pat Larsen presented the tentative budget for the
FY2000/2001. Pat indicated that this
budget has to be adopted by June 22nd and that a Public Hearing
needs to be scheduled. Councilmember
Piccolo stated that he does not agree with the employee retirement
adjustment. The current tentative
budget will create a large disparity between certain departments. Some city employees will receive 10.3% and
some will receive 22%. Do we want that
big of a difference? The college and
other agencies are set at 15. He feels the Council should deal with the
insurance this year and try to work something out better for retirement. Mayor Protem Nikas reviewed the issue of
sales and property taxes versus the increase in payroll and benefits. He feels what was accomplished in the budget
is not what he wanted to do, which was to get more money into the hands of the
people that are working, not retirement.
Retirement is important, but the City is having problems in getting
qualified people from leaving their current jobs to apply for City jobs because
of the wages. He sees a lot of our
staff are underpaid in comparison to comparable cities of the same size. Councilmember Piccolo stated this supports
his original statement. However, the
Council is not accomplishing this. A
change is being made that will be a negative effect on the employees
check. It was felt that another meeting
be scheduled to review this issue.
MOTION.
Councilmember Tatton moved that the tentative budget for FY2000/01 be
adopted and that further discussion be held on the 401K issue. Motion seconded by Councilmember
Denison. The motion carried per the
following vote:
Councilmember Wheeler - Aye
Councilmember Piccolo - Naye
Councilmember Denison - Aye
Councilmember Tatton - Aye
MOTION. Councilmember
Tatton moved that a Public Hearing be scheduled for June 14, 2000 to adopt the

retirement issue be scheduled for May 17, 2000 at 3:30 p.m. Motion seconded by Councilmember Denison and
carried.

MAIN STREET FROM 200
EAST TO 300 EAST - Denied
Gary Sonntag reported that Security Finance, 255 East
Main, is requesting that angle parking be installed on the north side of Main
Street between 2nd and 3rd East. They feel this will
increase the number of available parking stalls and would help prevent two
lanes of traffic from proceeding beyond 300 East. Gary stated he had his doubts it would increase parking stalls
because of numerous driveways on that side of the block. MOTOIN. After further discussion,
Councilmember Piccolo moved that the request be denied. Motion seconded by Councilmember Denison and
carried.
26. CONCRETE REPLACEMENT PROJECT - 666 South
Carbon Avenue - Proposal
Rejected
Gary Sonntag reported on the concrete replacement
project at 666 South Carbon Avenue (retaining wall, sidewalk, steps and drive
approach) that the Utah Department of Transportation will participate in. UDOT informed him that funds for this
project in the amount of $3,900 are available until June 30th. In order to get this accomplished quickly,
he put together specifications and solicited quotations to do the project. UDOT will pay for the concrete and the City
will pay for the balance of the materials.
Joanne Lessar opened one quotation received from M & S Builders in
the amount of $11,000 for labor and equipment.
Gary estimated the materials will cost approximately $2,000. He feels the proposal is too high and that
another solution should be investigated.
Perhaps the City could do the demolition work and hire a contractor to
install the new improvements. MOTION. Councilmember Denison moved that the
proposal be denied and that staff be directed to look at other
alternatives. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Piccolo and carried.

UNIFORMS - Compatible With Workplace Conditions - Tabled
Gary
Sonntag reported that he was approached by a City department asking if their
employees could be allowed to select the type of material for their uniforms,

be cooler. Councilmember Piccolo stated
that an all cotton material is twice the cost of the poly/cotton blend.
