A new utility service application was presented that will be used for services outside the city limits. This should be more clear and easier to use and will have a charge of $50 to cover administrative work associated with applications. Hook-u- p costs will be the same inside and outside city limits. The cost to extend the line will be the same for both inside and outside city limits, which is the cost of labor and materials. There is a question on user fees for outside city limits which is being looked at by the city attorney. Until an answer can be given, user fees will still need to be paid. If Spring City cannot charge these fees outside city limits then the money will be refunded. A motion was passed to adopt the new Zoning Applications for outside city limits as written and until there is further clarification from the attorney. Mr. and Mrs. Healey would like to build a home on Crawford loop on the south west corner. The power line is across the street from the proposed home. They came before the city council to make an application for a new electrical service. They are asking at this time for overhead utility lines. The council did approve this application for an electrical service and stated to the Healeys that they would need the standard letter from Utah Power and Light (UP&L) stating that they have no objection to Spring City providing them with power. Approximate cost for this service will be $2200 unless there needs to be a line extension. The Healeys will need to give the county a copy of the approved utility application and possibly a letter from Spring City. The Healeys asked if they were in a flood area which will need to be answered by the county. They also stated that they were not yet approved to build this home and wanted to know if they needed to pay fees before the county ap- proved the home. The council stated that the fees needed to be paid before services were put in, but if the county did not approve their home Spring City would refund their fees except for the $50 application fee which is used for the administrative work for the application. Water project Val Koefed. representing Sunrise Engineers, discussed the status of the water project with the council. Koefed stated that Spring City currently has $140,000 in escrow for the project and the budget is in very good shape. Koefed discussed a problem with the completion of the water project that Val Sorensen and Mayor Allred brought to his attention. In August an additional change was added to the water project. It was decided to put a pressure release valve on the old water tank, which added work to Johansen Construction and consequently the project has not been completed. Johansens have been contacted and promised to finish the job but have not been back. Spring City does understand the situation and has tried to work with Johansens but now need the project completed. Johansens will be given one week to complete the project. If not completed, they will be charged damages. There is also concern with the lower tank cap. Koefed went over some possible solutions to this problem and the cost of each. Spring City could replace the cap with a cost of $12,000 but have the same problem later. They could use Zypec which would help the tank cap heal itself with the cost of $20,000. The solution Koefed suggests is to use an NSF approved rubber which can come in contact with water. This requires washing the top off, applying adhesive and letting it dry. Because of sun damage that could occur, Koefed suggests applying a thick layer of gravel to this. This would cost approximately $5,000. Val Sorensen along with Mayor Allred also believes this is the best solution. Koefed will get approval to add this to the water project and then Spring City will do the work. CIB meeting The CIB held a meeting Nov. 5, at which time there was a motion to approve $80,000 for the Spring City flood. CIB will hold a meeting on Dec. 5, at which time they will prioritize their funding. It is believed that Spring City receive the money in the form of a grant, but could also be a no interest loan. It is believed that funding will go through in the first round of funding and the city could possibly receive the money in three weeks. will From the PTIF Cemetery account, $58,000 was received which $13,000 was spent on a land purchase and sprinkler system leaving $45,000 to be put back with interest. This leaves $35,000 to go to the general fund. Mayor Allred recommends that Spring City use $23,000 from the PTIF user fee account in the general fund until this grant or loan comes through to help pay bills. This will be repaid with the CIB money. Gary Parnell was given approval to get the Daughter of Utah Pioneers roof fixed now that the city finances are looking better. Subdivision list The council discussed with Vem Fisher the list of requirements he needs to complete to comply with the Spring City Subdivision Requirements. Requirements are: easement, which was approved in the county meeting but minutes have not yet been approved; water tests and zoning applications, two permits were submitted, was approved; UP&L letter in process, performance bonds and Asbuilt is in the process and for Mountain Land, Spring City received a letter stating it was taken care of.
