A3 The Emery County Review, Tuesday, September 23, 2008 Castle Dale City considers secondary water ordinance Kathy Ockey Castle Dale City began their regular city council meeting by holding a public hearing to discus an ordinance granting a franchise to Emery Telcom to construct, operate and maintain a cable television system in Castle Dale and the conditions that would accompany granting the franchise. The council had several questions regarding the ordinance and Emery Telcom representative, Jared Anderson, explained the product they are proposing to install in the city. He said Emery Telcom Video is a subsidiary of Emery Telcom. It is a video service to Carbon and Emery counties with full channel coverage. The company has hired someone to broadcast local programming, and the service will utilize the phone lines, enabling customers to have the internet on television. Anderson said it is delivered differently because it comes across on your phone line. There will be different packages offered, and the price is determined by the package you select, but is similar to what you would pay for satellite service. There will be a pay-per-view option, DVR feature and he also mentioned types of parental controls that would be available with this service. The council tabled this matter until they receive their attorney’s comments about the offered service. A second public hearing was held to discuss an ordi- nance setting rules and regulations for the construction, operation and maintenance of a secondary water system in Castle Dale City. Mayor Neal Peacock explained that Castle Dale City has had a secondary water system since 1983 but has never had a secondary water ordinance to enforce the proper use of the system. He also said the secondary system was designed for watering personal property and was not established for agricultural watering. He said some citizens have been overwatering but the city doesn’t have an ordinance to allow them to enforce this matter. He explained that there needs to be something to take care of this, especially if the city starts to grow. The irrigation systems should handle out of town watering and also stock watering. This ordinance would allow the city to charge for overuse of secondary water and to raise the amount of green space. Mayor Peacock explained that each resident is allowed one acre or green space, or one quarter of a lot of ground that can be watered, and does not include the areas where there are homes or where other buildings are on a lot. He also said the city would not sell water outside of the city limits because the citizens of the town paid for the system with their taxes. This ordinance would also prohibit flood irrigation on a pressurized line. It would also include consequences and fines in violating the ordinance and the authority to turn water off for non-payment. The council made a motion to table this matter until the next meeting while they have the city attorney review the ordinance. Castle Dale resident Jasa Norton approached the council to follow up on a previous request for a stop sign change by her home. She is concerned because cars speed by her home and thought it would help slow them down if the signs stopped the traffic from the other direction or be put in a four-way stop. The council said they would get more information about the process of changing stop signs, and Mayor Peacock also said he would like to discuss this with the neighbors. Richard Herring reported to the council that the burn window will be Sept. 20 to Oct. 20 and the residents must have a permit in order to burn. Castle Dale City is also asking citizens to be patient with the construction on Center Street. They reported it will be a big improvement to the city when this is completed. Councilmember Gaylee Jeffs said the city will hold a Pumpkin Festival on Oct. 25 at the Emery County Recreation Center from 5 – 7 pm. There will be stew, rolls, and pumpkin pie and also pumpkins for the children to carve. A dental patient is provided dental care at a mobile clinic in Castle Dale sponsored by the United Way. United Way sponsors dental clinic Kathy Ockey The United Way of Southeastern Utah held a free dental clinic on Sept. 15 at the Emery County Recreation Center for those citizens in this area who do not have dental insurance. They come here once a year, usually in September, and provide services for everyone. Department of Workforce Services Manager Delena Fish, coordinates this every year and local busi- nesses provide meals and housing for the United Way personnel. The state of Utah does not fund these clinics, but the United Way received $6,000 in funds for this clinic They estimate this will cover approximately 300 procedures. They provide necessary dental services to those who can’t afford them. Coordinating with the department of health. The clinic is held for one week with the first day is used for preliminary screenings and to make appointments to receive follow-up exams and dental procedures during the rest of the week. The personnel travel to every part of the state and are away from home for two weeks and then home for two weeks. Sylvia Case is the mobile dental manager and those working with her are Judy Mackey and Deborah Perry. Forest Service concerned over OHV abuse Continued from Page A1. not be on the travel map. The best thing is if it’s not on the map, don’t go on it. If you have any questions, contact one of us and we can tell you.” The U.S. Forest Service issued a Travel Management Rule, covering such circumstances in November of 2005. It states, “The final rule will prohibit the use of motor vehicles off the designated system, as well as use of motor vehicles on routes and in areas that is not consistent with the designations. “The clear identification of roads, trails, and areas for motor vehicle use on each National Forest will enhance management of National Forest System lands; sustain natural resource values through more effective management of motor vehicle use; enhance opportunities for motorized recreation experiences on National Forest System lands; address needs for access to National Forest System lands; and preserve areas of opportunity on each National Forest for non-mo- torized travel and experiences.” Riddle is especially concerned that ATV users are traveling in areas which they haven’t been in for years. He said that for the last two years he has received reports from concerned hunters about motorized traffic on Black Canyon Trail, which has been closed for 12 years. He bristles at the thought of the area being used by ATVs. “That area is closed for a reason,” he said. “Our roadless areas give the animals a sanctuary. They are hunted in so many areas. I tell people it’s just like a human. Once you get home from work, your home is your sanctuary. It’s a place to relax. That’s how I look at it.” The local office is also encouraging citizens to get involved in helping to solve the problem. “The general public needs to get involved and help us the best they can,” said Riddle. “With our limited resources, we can’t be everywhere.” Huntington council eyes new beautification projects for city Continued from Page A1. years before. He said the recent problems in Ferron had “reminded me how grateful I am for Huntington, how much faith you put in us.” He explained that the contract is scheduled to end next September and asked the council to consider continuing the contract for two to three more years at the same price. Wilson was care- ful to say he did not want the contract changed, because it would be illegal. Councilmember Bob Mills stated that he believed the contract in fact included an “automatic renewal,” but suggested the council look closely at the contract along with asking the county attor- ney to review the proposal before moving forward. Wilson agreed, and the council elected to address the issue again later.
