Description/Agenda

Rocky Ridge Town Monthly Meeting June 13, 2018 7:30 PM MLA Building 1 Opening: Presiding: Mayor Ronald Allred Present from the Town Council: Ronald Allred, Jeremy Allred, Dallin Mangels, Lucy Gold, and Forrest Lewis. Present from the Town Staff: Cathy Lummus, Terry Allred, Casey Reynolds Others Present: Aaron Bronson, Dan Reynoso, and others. Meeting was called to order at 7:40 P.M. Invocation was given. Approval of Minutes After small changes to the May 2018 minutes were made, Councilmember Jeremy Allred moved to approve the May 23, 2018 minutes and Councilmember Lucy Gold seconded the motion. All voted in favor except Dallin Mangels, who abstained from voting. New Business 1. Sheriff Doug Anderson gave the council information on mock disaster trainings that will be held for the benefit of municipal leaders county-wide once or twice a year. He announced the first one would be held on July 5th. Additionally, he mentioned that the County would be doing a commodity flow study to research what types of chemicals are being transported along I-15 through Juab County. Sheriff Anderson also announced that there would be a training for kids to get certified in ATV safety, and they would need a list of interested children by August 18th. 2. Upcoming Rocky Ridge Days was discussed briefly. Sheriff Doug Anderson offered help to make it a safe event and mentioned safety concerns with the parade. After some discussion, it was suggested that it would be a good idea to have two spotters for each parade entry, one on each side of the road. Councilmember Jeremy Allred volunteered to communicate to those in charge of the parade that spotters would be needed and to delegate the responsibility of double checking that to Stephen Bunker. 3. Aaron Bronson made a request to have the Town Meetings held meetings downstairs by the library, which would help to better facilitate the scheduling of the building. It was decided that all Town Meetings from then on would be held downstairs. 4. A public hearing was held to approve the 2018-2019 fiscal budget. The budget had only a few minor modifications from the prior preliminary budget with the exception of an additional $10,000 being added to the road budget upon Terry Allred's prior request. While discussing the budget, Terry Allred announced that the Town dump truck's clutch is going out and he felt it was time to look at other options. Terry presented the options of getting a used truck or finding something nicer. The prior Rocky Ridge Town Monthly Meeting June 13, 2018 7:30 PM MLA Building 2 dump truck was purchased used from state surplus for $8,000 in 2001. Terry showed an option he was looking into, an old DOT truck from Cedar City which comes with a plow, included in cost. He estimated that they could get ten years out of the truck. He also mentioned that lease options may be available, but said he did not believe it would be worth it. The listed price for the used dump truck was $14,900. Mayor Ron Allred said the Town should go with Terry's recommendation, and the Town Council supported the decision. Dan Reynoso asked about the budget for safety items such as speed bumps, and made a request for another speed bump on Rocky Ridge Road near the first one. Discussion ensued as to what types of speed bumps would work best. It was decided that Terry Allred would get some bids on speed dips, which are more permanent. Forrest Lewis moved to approve the 2018-2019 fiscal budget, and Lucy Gold seconded the motion. All voted in favor. Town Clerk Cathy Lummus said that a special meeting would have to be held to amend the new budget, as it was not announced in the public hearing for this meeting. A special meeting was set for that purpose on June 28th at 6:30 p.m. 5. Cathy Lummus made a request that the Town Council appoint Deputy Clerk Bethany Sturgeon as the new Records Officer for the Town. All voted in favor of this appointment. Old Business 1. Town Municipal Code Sections needing to be amended were discussed. Section 6 did not need amending, other than punctuation errors. Section 7 would need to be gone over by the water department later. Section 8 would be discussed at the next meeting, as well as Section 9 and 10. 2. Rocky Ridge Cleanup Day did not get planned and the Council discussed doing it after Rocky Ridge Days. The 14th of July was proposed, and Town Clerk Cathy Lummus said she would contact Jay Mecham about that date. Updates General Appointing new members for the Planning and Zoning Board was discussed. Marvin Allred and Aaron Bronson were selected for the two new positions, which the Council was in favor of. The official appointment would happen at the next meeting when it could be put on the agenda. Rocky Ridge Town Monthly Meeting June 13, 2018 7:30 PM MLA Building 3 An update on the progress of the new Town Building was given. It was reported that the engineers have been working on it, and the surveying has been done. Library Sarah Allred reported from the Library that over 26,000 items had been checked out to date. The Summer Reading Program is working very well. Sarah said the biggest need was a larger building. Casey Reynolds brought up that the new library was planned to be in the new school. Water Department A well update was given by Casey Reynolds. For the new well building, the floor would be poured and the walls would be formed up by Friday. The drilled depth for the new well was 450 feet. The Pump was set at 230, and the static level was at 80 feet. Road Department Terry Allred announced that the chip seal for all paved roads would be done on the upcoming Friday and that all paved roads would be closed as they lay it. Anything within 4 feet of the road could be sprayed. EMS Department Casey Reynolds reported from the EMS department that a new EMT had quit and had reimbursed the cost which the Town had put into her training. The Town is in need of 1 or 2 EMTs. Jim Pemberton will be doing CERT Training in September and will also be doing Rapid Assessment Plan tools sometime as well. NIMS Training was also discussed briefly. Many of the courses can be done online, including: IS 700, 800, ICS 100, ICS 200. No fees are associated with these trainings. Two additional classes which cannot be done online can be done in Juab County. Sheriff Doug Anderson is trying to get trainings set up as well. Park Department The park dumpster has been taken and the Town will be needing it for the summer. Town Clerk Cathy Lummus said she would follow up on that. Mayor Ron Allred announced that Kelly Bronson would no longer be doing the park and that Lane Allred would be taking over again. Dallin Mangels asked if this position should be advertised and Ron asked Cathy to look into the rules on this. Rocky Ridge Town Monthly Meeting June 13, 2018 7:30 PM MLA Building 4 Citizen Items Dan Reynoso asked about a walking path alongside Rocky Ridge Road. Discussion ensued about the first section of sidewalk which would be going in on that road, and Dan suggested a cheaper dirt and gravel path going in first, which would be much faster. Adjournment: A motion was made to adjourn the meeting, and all voted in favor. The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 P.M. /s/ Bethany Sturgeon __________________________ Approved by Deputy Town Clerk
