Show Council Discusses Day Care; Baseball Complex PANGUITCH Panguitch city officials met on Aug. 11 to ' discuss issues important to the city. Barbara Leach attended the meeting to complain about a sign which was put up next to her insurance in-surance business by Chris Popovich who owns the building next door. She said the sign uses her last name in a derogatory way and the sign is offensive to the Farm Bureau business. It was decided that Popovich did not go through the proper application to put up a sign and Allen Henrie, city managertreasurer wrote a letter to him informing him of the illegality of the sign. The council was asked to consider con-sider the possibility of offering positions in the city which a handicapped person could fill. Two positions were discussed: cleaning the social hall and school crossing guard. The council voted to have Henrie make the decision about the school crossing guard, after talking to Shelly Benson. If the person she had in mind would not be able to do the job, the position would be advertised. Surplus lighting at the baseball base-ball field was discussed. There were some work utility poles at the baseball field located at the fairgrounds. Denny Orton asked the council if they wanted them moved to the new baseball complex com-plex location. The council decided de-cided to leave them at the fairgrounds. fair-grounds. A resolution authorizing the mayor to- sign BIC loan documents docu-ments was discussed. The resolution resolu-tion was already passed and signed. A donation of $200 was given to the Boy Scouts. Debbie Bourland of the Hitch-N-Post campground attended the city meeting to complain about the city and county allowing trailer parking at the fairgrounds during the rodeo. She said that on July 22, there were eight or nine campers at the fairgrounds and she had 15 empty spaces at 6 p.m. By 8 a.m the next morning, there were 14 RV's at the park while she still had 10 spaces left. Because there was a "No Camping" sign posted, she felt the city police should enforce it. It was pointed out that the bylaws by-laws of the high school rodeo association as-sociation state that the participants partici-pants will be allowed to camp at the rodeo grounds. In order for the city to hold rodeos there, they have to relax the no parking rule for that few days. Bourland asked for a copy of the no parking ordinance ordi-nance and also the rodeo association associa-tion by-laws. The council discussed the criteria cri-teria that needed to be met by (See COUNCIL on page 3-A) COUNCIL From Front Page i students in order to be eligible for the scholarship. The criteria i would include points for GPA, i activities (school involvement and community service), finan-. cial need, and city employee family members. 1 The council approved Croft's ' Refrigeration to install the air I conditioning in the librarycity I offices as bid with a maximum of I $8,000 and a guarantee. Council member Mack Oct- ting had concern with lowering i the maximum gallons of culinary i drinking water per month to . 12,000. He felt those with sprinkler sprin-kler systems connected to the culinary water needed a break. There was some discussion on the ' pros and cons of giving those with I systems a break and council I members were asked to think I about the possibilities. Council members also ques- tioned the process of awarding the bid for cleaning up around the i dumpsters. They wanted to know , why JCL got the bid ($167) and Panguitch City had to furnish men at least twice a week to clean up big items when JW Disposal ' ($326) would have cleaned every- I thing. The contract is for three months and can be renewed. Garfield Gar-field County Commissioner Maloy Dodds, who was in attendance, atten-dance, said he would investigate. Nine Panguitch residents were present voicing their concerns over the lack of day care in the Panguitch area. The ladies met and were working on obtaining a day care in Panguitch citing not enough people in the community who can take care of (he children of working mothers. DeAnn Brown has been looking look-ing into grants to set up a day care center and the group found (See COUNCIL on page 4-A) COUNCIL From page 3-A someone to be a day care provider, pro-vider, but they have no place to meet. The group stated they needed a sink and restroom facilities facili-ties close by and asked the council coun-cil if they would consider allowing allow-ing them to use a room in the BIC. Council members were all in favor of helping out, but there was discussion about the restroom facilities being so far away and also the antiques in the hallway of the BIC. It was suggested that the ladies la-dies consider using the city room at the old fire station, which has kitchen facilities and restrooms. It is run down and will need new carpet and paint. The group planned to look at the room after the meeting. Council members felt the city room would be the best option and voted to charge the group $100 per month rent for use of the building, electricity and heat. Kay Englestead reported on the progress at the new baseball complex. He said it was moving along well. Raintree Landscaping got the bid for the sprinkler system sys-tem installation and would be installing it soon. Englestead suggested the council write a letter of appreciation apprecia-tion for the volunteer service to both Utah Department of Transportation Trans-portation and Garfield County employees for their work on the baseball complex. There was some discussion on the size of the concession stand. A 30-foot by 30-foot building and a 30 by 40 foot building are both being considered. The 30-foot by 40-foot building would allow for larger restrooms. The council decided on the 30-foot by 40-foot building. The hydro seeding had not been put out for bid. The man doing the sprinkler system would have liked to do the hydro seeding, seed-ing, too. But several others expressed ex-pressed interest in that project as well. Cement for foundation and bays at the new fire station were being poured. The curb needed to go into Center Street for better drainage, which was not included in the initial bid. The council voted to approve the curb and gutter. Residential hookups for natu-I natu-I ral gas were moving slower than I expected with fewer crews working work-ing on the project than were expected. ex-pected. Questar will change the . orifices for the people when the time comes. The communities of Oak City and Joseph have also been able to get natural gas because of the "Panguitch Bill" which was passed by the legislature. The council adjourned for an executive session to discuss a personnel mater at 9:50 p.m. and adjourned from the session at 10:28 p.m. Other pending business taken care of by the council was a dog barking complaint that was filed, which will be followed up by Allen Al-len Henrie; revenue from the 1 percent sales tax was not as much as expected, but the big months won't start until November; (See COUNCIL on page 6-A) COUNCIL From page 4-A Lamb's Paving of Orderville was the low bidder for paving the streets this fall; the youth city council members have agreed to take care of placing and removing the American Flags on Main and Center streets, a job which the VFW has done for many years. Appreciation was expressed to the VFW for a job well done. Sunrise Engineering of Fillmore will be the engineer for the industrial indus-trial park.- |
