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,
January 25, 2006
Dave Levanger and Rex Sacco, drove to the area and that
Carbon County indicated they are desirous of stopping access as well. MOTION. Councilmember Nielson moved that Mr. Iriart=s request be approved and that he be
permitted to seek lawful means to restrict access into and through Price City=s property. 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.
Motion seconded by Councilmember McEvoy and carried.

Paletta, Business and Technical Assistance Center Program Manager, presented

PROGRAM - Update
Melanie
Steele, Main Street Program Manager, presented an update on the activities of
the
program and plans for 2006. She is searching for a new logo and is
working with Peczuh Printing.
It will be
similar to Price City=s logo. Ann Anderson from KOAL is taking over as
chairman of the
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.
