Description/Agenda

Woodruff Town Board Meeting May 19, 2026 Minutes from the Woodruff Town Board meeting held May 19, 2026 at the Town Hall at 5:00 p.m. Those present: Mayor Monika Schulthess (435) 881-9098, mayor@woodruff.utah.gov Board Members: Tyler Walker (801) 589-4588, tylerbrianwalker@gmail.com Joel Marler (801) 567-1195, joelmarler@me.com Raymond Frandsen (801) 448-1545 Briton Brown (801) 243-2238, briton259@gmail.com Clerk: Allie Deru (435) 233-2264, clerk@woodruff.utah.gov Mitch Jessen Mayor Monika Schulthess opened the meeting. Mitch Jessen brought a proposal to town board for a fireworks show on July 3rd. He has experience working with firework shows and know a guy where he can purchase fireworks for a good deal. These Utah legal fireworks are considered residential and are cooled on the way down to lower fire danger. They span 200 ft and can be used when the winds are under 25 mph. Mitch explained that they blow up between 150-200 feet which are not as high as traditional fireworks and they start cooling as soon as they go off. He has been down to the arena to measure and says there is lots of space between the arena and the surrounding field and bleachers where the crowd will be. With the $7,000 grant that the county is giving the town, he can make a firework show that will last for 31 minutes with 21 minutes of actual fireworks. He will run the fireworks along the back fence and also get the fire departments and other volunteers, possibly some teenagers, to help watch and water down the hay stack that is close by. There was discussion among the board to play some music during the firework show. There were concerns about the animals that are kept at the arena. Louie Stuart is going to be contacted to check on that situation. There is a fire plan in place and the Rich County commissioners have given us the okay to go ahead with the fireworks even though there are fire restrictions in place. Joel Marler made a motion to approve the firework show. Briton Brown seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. The board discussed food options and prices for the 4th. We will be doing cans of pop, nachos and popcorn. Joel Marler discussed making the cost difference higher between the double and single burgers. They had a hard time keeping up with cooking so many burgers at once so he suggested making the price difference more. The price suggestion was $6 for a single, $10 for a double and $1 for pop. Joel contacted an ice company in Ogden that would deliver ice up here to get a quote. He also suggested some big coolers down at the pavilion to store more pop. The fridge down there isn't big enough to keep enough drinks cold at a time. Chips did not sell great last year so they are not going to be advertised but we will have some chips available if anybody asks for them. The plan is to get pickles and cheese from Bridget again this year and potentially buns. Joel is going to check in on that. Monika is going to find somebody to do the snow cone shack. Joel brought up the idea of potentially selling merchandise out of the old shack or letting a vendor use it. There was also discussion about doing a breakfast before the parade. The board wondered if the young men and young women would want to do it as a fundraiser. Monika was going to check with them to see if they would be interested in that. There were some concerns about the logistics of doing a breakfast. The big flag will be put up at the arena as well as the little flags and banners that were put up last year. Monika is going to look into getting new ones. There was a suggestion to get some shelving at the pavilion to store more things. Paul Webb is going to get the concrete and tables cleaned at the arena. We will be getting the bouncy houses and bull again this year. The board discussed having people pay to ride the bull. They liked the idea of the cost being $5 to ride all day and they could get a wristband. Ty Liddle is going to play with Kaden Miner for our entertainment. Paul took pictures of the backhoe so that we can post them for sale. The truck battery was dead so he wasn't able to move it. He wondered if he should get a new battery. The board said to just leave the old battery in it and just use a different to get it out for some pictures. This will be discussed and posted for silent auction at the July board meeting. Briton Brown made a motion to approve the April minutes. Joel Marler seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Joel Marler made a motion to approve the May bills. Briton Brown seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Paul has fixed all of the broken sprinklers. Skyview Grading and Excavation has an electrician that is going to come check out their power situation at their office. Rocky Mountain Power said it would cost $20,000 to put in a new pole and power so they are trying to come up with a different solution. The 12'x18' no motorized vehicle sign costs $100 per sign with pole included. The board wants to get four of those. The 24'x30' 25 mph speed limit signs are #135. It was decided that the board needs to drive around town to figure out how many of those are needed and where they should be located. Rob and Lynne Leifson were suggested to be the 4th of July honorees. Monika suggested that the town board does a float in the parade this year. Jackie Schulthess is going to make a play at your own risk sign to place at the park. Meeting was adjourned at 6:15 p.m. _______________________________________ Clerk
