of the sewerline on the bottom end of 1st West. They own property in this area and would

the City has always been short on funding. Also the intersection on 5th South and 1st West
needs to be refinished because of irrigation problems. Councilmember Jensen felt that this
should be a project for next year's budget. There are presently 2 homes on septic systems

13. MAIN STREET PROJECT - UDOT Small Urban Road Program, Public Right-Of-Way Over Railroad
Property
Gary Sonntag reported that the Utah Department of Transportation received
federal funding to improve roads other than state roads. They selected Main Street from
Carbon Avenue west to the Carbonville Road. Their intent is to completely reconstruct the
road, put in new pavement and gutter, and at the same time widen the road and improve the
drainage. Since 1921, the City has had an agreement with the railroad to use up to a 50'
wide section for a road. That agreement is still in effect. Two agreements signed in 1921
and 1923 contain language that the railroad would be willing to convey the property to the
City. Because of this language, he contacted the railroad and requested that they deed a
fifty foot wide right-of-way to the public. This is along the present route of Main Street
between 200 West and the Carbonville Road. In a response received from the railroad dated
November 10, 1995, they disagree with the assumption that they would just give the
property to the City. They are suggesting that if the City is interested that they
consider purchasing the area in question. He presented a sketch of the proposed
right-of-way containing approximately 2 acres.
Gary questioned if the City is still able to operate under this current
agreement with the railroad and receive the federal funding and complete the project as
planned. He will contact the Department of Transportation if this will be a problem. Their
answer will be the motivation whether the City will have to proceed to purchase the
property. Nick Sampinos is aware of this and he will review the agreement and the letter.
Gary will report back to the Council on the City's options.
14. WATER EXPANSION PROJECT (DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION SERVICES),
(TANK, PUMP, PIPELINES) - CRS Consulting Engineers - Partial Payments
Gary Sonntag presented two requests for partial payments from CRS
Engineering for work completed to date on the design and construction inspection services
on the tank, pump, and pipelines. The invoice on the tank work is $3,510.67 and $37,202.50
for the pump and pipelines. Councilmember Wheeler moved that the payments be approved.
Motion seconded by Councilmember Nikas and carried.
15. 300 WEST ALLEY - Property Acquisition From Carbon County
Gary Sonntag reported that at the last meeting, the Council approved the Price River Drive
Business Park with a condition that an emergency access be developed from 300 West, at
approximately 150 South. This access crosses through an alley on property owned by the
County. He contacted Carbon County and was informed that they no longer desire the control
of this property and that the City should consider taking it over, in which case, the
County would deed it to the City. Councilmember Nikas moved that the documents be prepared
and submitted to Carbon County for signature. Motion seconded by Councilmember Wheeler and
carried.
