1. MINUTES - October 25, 1995
Councilmember Jensen moved that the minutes of the October 25, 1995
meeting be approved as written. Motion seconded by Councilmember Frandsen and carried.
2. SWIMMING POOL WATER TEMPERATURE - Bunny Fox
Cordelia (Bunny) Fox and Nancy Martin were at the meeting to request the
temperature of the water at the indoor swimming pool be set at 84 degrees. She realizes
that it is an old facility and the City has spent large amounts of money to maintain it.
In addition, the temperature of the showers should be a steady temperature. The exit steps
and bars on the east side of the pool need to be repaired, as well as repair of the phone
in the pool area. A phone in the pool area enables them to call the lifeguard to check the
water temperature before they leave their homes.
Councilmember Jensen reported that the burner in the boiler has recently
been replaced and some rather extensive repairs completed. Since the new boiler was
installed, they have not been able to raise the temperature of the water above 82 degrees.
They found that the pumps and valves are also inoperable and need to be replaced. An item
on tonight's agenda is to request $20,000 to replace these items. In addition to the
burner, the City has replaced the controls at a cost of $20,000. They are hopeful that
once the pumps and valves are replaced, that all the problems will be solved. Cobb Johnson
reported that the telephone has been repaired, but it has been placed outside the door
because the chlorine deteriorates the plastic. The exit steps and bars referred to above
were repaired at the time the pool was replastered. The Council thanked Mrs. Fox and Ms.
Martin for their input.
3. AWARD PRESENTATION - Kevin Mele, Guy Adams
Police Lieutenant Ed Shook reported that there was a recent incident where
an officer from the Price City Police Department and an officer from another department
were instrumental in saving a man's life. He recognized both officers by presenting Price
Police Officer Kevin Mele with a certificate and Price City Police Department pin for
"Meritorious Service" and Carbon County Deputy Guy Adams with a
"Certificate of Appreciation". The Council congratulated both officers.
4. SUN ADVOCATE - Ad For Christmas Greetings
Councilmember Nikas moved that a 2 X 4 ad for a Christmas greeting in the
amount of $41.60 be purchased for the December 22nd issue of The Sun Advocate. Motion
seconded by Councilmember Jensen and carried.
5. INEZ VALDEZ - Request For Upright Cemetery Stone Approved
Inez Valdez requested permission to place an upright stone in an area in
the Price City Cemetery designated for flat stones. Due to a limited amount of
side-by-side plots available at the cemetery, she was not able to purchase a plot in the
upright section. Councilmember Frandsen reported that this is on the borderline of the
upright stone section, and there is only one other grave on this row. She moved that
authorization be given to allow upright stones for this row of plots. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Williams and carried.

approved for Randall B. Nairemore, 761 Rose Avenue (1st East), and that in lieu of a share

10. HOME OCCUPIED BUSINESSES - Yucatan And Beauty Salon, Shipley's Shipshape Service

reviewed the following requests for home occupied businesses and gave a favorable
recommendation. He moved that the businesses be approved upon payment of the business

Approval, Conditional Use Permit
Councilmember Williams reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission
reviewed the request of GSA Associates for preliminary and final approval for the Price
River Business Park. The Commission gave a favorable recommendation contingent upon
signing and recording a corrected plat, Letter of Credit and Development Improvement
Agreement, and the necessary easements. Gary Sonntag reported that the emergency access
off of 300 West was discussed. This property is currently owned by Carbon County. He
contacted the County about the maintenance of this alley and is pursuing the possibility
of the City acquiring the property. This alley is not shown on the plat, and the boundary
description is not in order. Councilmember Williams moved that preliminary and final
approval be given and that a conditional use permit be issued per the above contingencies.
Motion seconded by Councilmember Wheeler.
12. U.S. POST OFFICE SNORKEL LANE CHANGE - Preliminary and
Final Approval, Conditional Use Permit
Councilmember Williams reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission
reviewed the request of the U.S. Post Office for construction of a drive through service
contingent upon a use and maintenance agreement for the right-of-way and the public
sidewalk. Gary Sonntag presented a report and reviewed the alternatives that were
considered. The option that appears to have the least impact would be to improve the
drive-through at the present location of the mail boxes. This drive through will encroach
back into the sidewalk area and not into the street. Only one parking stall will be
eliminated. The drive through will enable customers to drop mail into the mail boxes
without leaving their cars. The pedestrian side walk will be relocated along the same
route. The present sidewalk is 15' wide and will be remodeled to 5' wide. Councilmember
Williams moved that this option be approved per the above contingencies and that a
conditional use permit be issued. Motion seconded by Councilmember Nikas and carried.
