Discussion of the City's Dog Kennels: Mayor Bell states that there have been some issues lately when Animal Control has taken a dog or cat to the vet's office and there not being any room. Its not just been Orangeville City but other city's as well. Emery Animal Health has a contract with the county and the county pays the animal clinic to hold animals for the cities. Mayor Bell was talking with the Commissioners about Orangeville having the dog kennels up by the ball complex and discussed if maybe the city can take over the contract to house the animals. The County doesn't know how much they pay the Animal Shelter. Mayor Bell states that its possibly somewhere between $50-70,000 a year. There has been discussion as to possibly hiring a part-time person to help take care of the kennels and maybe building some more kennels on the outside of the kennel. This would be an opportunity for the city to gain a little revenue. There was concern about the noise for the homes around the kennel. It was said that most of the animals would be inside of the kennel. This is just a discussion at this point in time. 22. Staff, Council and Mayor Reports: Seth Manning: Seth reports on a couple of business licenses that were approved and a driveway being replaced in the sub-division. Tracy Addley- Tracy states that he talked with Jess Housekeeper and will meet with valor on the Fire Safety Plan for the facilities. Tracy states as far as the Solar fields and discussing the batteries in case of a meltdown, they told him that you can't do anything about them if they catch fire. You just have to let them burn or can bury them in sand, but if they are dug back up then they will re-catch fire so they have to stay buried. Travis Richards: Travis reports that he has been taking care of trees at the park that blew down from the wind. He also reports that there have been motorcycles riding by the lower pickleball courts and kind of tearing it up. He talked with Safety Supply and they have signs that we can purchase to post at the park. There was discussion about possibly trying to put a camera there to monitor the activity. Amanda Lake: Amanda reports on the CDBG grant that we were trying to get to remodel the park. She states that according to the income survey Orangeville City was 2% higher than it needed to be so we do not qualify this year.

Doug Stilson: Doug reports that he has been getting multiple complaints about motorcycles riding around in the subdivision. He states that he talked with the kids about it and told them that if it didn't die down then the city would have to enforce a nuisance code. Doug states that he thinks it would be a good idea for the city to create a fund so the city can start putting funds away to purchase more water shares. Doug also states that he attended the Cog meeting and they were discussing the housing crisis in Emery and Carbon County. He states that they commended Orangeville for managing the short-term rentals to make housing available for those who need to live here.
