5. DISCUSSION-
(695 E. 500 So.) Dust Issue- by John Hayward
John Hayward presented a request for the Mayor and City
Council to review a dust problem that he has at 695 E. 500 So. Mr. Hayward gave
the Council a drawing of the location for reference. Because he lives on the corner
of 500 South and 700 E., next to a dirt road and wash, his home is constantly
filled with dust. Vehicles are using the dirt road as an access road.
Neighborhood children are using the wash for dirt bikes, peddle bikes and other
off road vehicles for entertainment. The dirt that the vehicles stir up goes
directly into Mr. Hayward’s yard and windows of his home. He has asked the
children to not drive on the dirt road and to keep the dust down when riding
motorcycles. He has also contacted the Police Department on several occasions
but by the time the police arrive the kids have left the area. Mr. Hayward
would like to see either closure of the 700 East access to alleviate traffic or
have the road paved to alleviate the dust.
Councilmember Tatton questioned whether the road is even a city street
without gravel or asphalt. The road is City property and is located partially
in the wash as it is not an access road. Councilmember McEvoy pointed out that
even if the road was paved, the dust from the recreational vehicles would not
cease. Years ago, wooden barricades were set in place to block the road but
were constantly removed. The Mayor and Council understand the problem, but also
know that if the road is closed, the dust issue remains along with possible
enforcement issues. The Mayor and Council recommend, Gary Sonntag perform a
road audit to examine the area and determine whether or not the road is a
legitimate street. The use of jersey barricades, signs and some type of road
top will also be evaluated. Then the zoning of the area can be evaluated by the
Community Director for possible use of the road and area. MOTION. Councilmember McEvoy moved to place the item on
unfinished business and to have a road audit completed on the street. Motion seconded
by Councilmember Nielson Motion carried.
6. PEDESTRIAN
SAFETY PROGRAM 2007- Site Selection and Funding Application
The
Utah Legislature, during the past session, has provided funding for the State
Pedestrian Safety Program, on State Highways (primarily the placement of
new sidewalk). The State program provides 75% funding with a local match of
25%. The amount of funding this year, for the four Counties in the Price
District, is $8,917.

25. PRWID-
Update by Councilmember Tatton
The PRWID meeting was held on April 3, 2007.
Discussion included the airport subdivision water issue, making water shares
for trailer parks more affordable and the Circle K subdivision sewer lines. PRWID
has leased water shares for the year.
26. INTERNATIONAL
DAYS-Update by Councilmember Nielson.
The allocation of money from fundraisers and the
amount left in the budget from the previous year was discussed for
clarification. Both nights of movies plus additional activities would be the
desire of the committee to allow the event to grow each year. The budgeted
amount is $12,000 plus donations and fundraisers to alleviate the costs. Funds
that are raised will allow money to be left in the budget for next year’s
event. This year’s event could use the budgeted amount as well as the
fundraiser amount to host an even more successful event. To offset costs,
advertising is offered during both movie nights. Sponsorship funds could go
directly to the movie budget because sponsorship involves the community. If it
weren’t for the community assistance, this event would not be as successful as
it is now. MOTION. Councilmember Tatton moved to allow
sponsorship to be used in excess of the budgeted amount with all other areas of
the event remaining in place and staying the same. The sponsorship funds would
be used first, then the budgeted funds. This would be a trial funding project
for the 2007 year. Motion seconded by Councilmember Davis and carried.
