(1st Motion) MONA CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 23, 2019 PLANNING AND ZONING: No Report DELEGATIONS: Ryan Peters, Juab County Attorney, and Amy Taylor, full-time victims' advocate for the county attended Mona City Council to thank the council for their continued financial support and share the year's statistics with them. FY 2018-2019 YTD: Mona City has seen 6.14% of the crimes requiring a victim's advocate. Nephi City which is the largest population had a 61:40% requiring a victim's advocate. The council agreed on the same amount paid to the Victims Advocate program last year which was $1,500. The case study report for each city in Juab County is attached and will become a permanent part of the minutes for public viewing. Todd Carson had a question in regard to tying on to the sewer at 300 S - 700 S. Carson is proposing a 17 acre site to be used for a subdivision; he is owner /president of TEC Excavation LLC, located in Linden Utah. The property is currently owned by C&C Estates. Carson told the council he has a lot of questions and concerns in regard to the property site. The city boundary is in the blocks east and above that boundary with the railroad line on the west. Carson would like to build homes on the proposed site and tie into the sewer line. He would need to obtain a sewer easement. Mayor Mills told him, 'there are no homes planned at the site, I don't think it was ever approved.' 'We don't own the easement along the railroad tracks and it is not easy to work with them.' Mayor Mills told him. Council member Micheal Stringer said Carson will need to go to the railroad and negotiate with them or go to a property owner on the west side of the city in order to get an easement for the trunk line. Carson would need to go to the west end of the property with a trunk line. Mayor Mills said he can contact current property owners through American Dream Properties. Councilmember Katrina Long suggested he stay away from cul de sacs, because it is too hard to get garbage pickup and snow removal vehicles into them. The city does own a lot in the proposed subdivision area which was designated as a road. Mayor Mills cautioned Carson to make certain there is enough water to go with the property to assure that each home has culinary and outdoor watering needs met. Carson said they have enough water; however Mayor Mills suggested he check to make sure that is a fact and the Planning Commission could walk him through the process. The council suggested Carson re-plat the map and send it through the planning commission, they will give the council recommendation. Carson was advised when the Planning Commissions meets which is the first Wednesday of the month at 8:00 p.m. to contact Sara Samuelson to be added to their agenda. MONA CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 23, 2019 Mona resident Leland Davis Owner of Wholesale Fishing came before the council to inform them of a sale of right-of-way to Nephi City for the controversial redundant gas line proposed by Nephi City Council. Davis added that he did not realize what a crisis that was not having a redundant line; the fire on Mount Nebo last summer had proved that a second line was needed to provide gas to homes and businesses. Davis said, 'It would have taken three months to get all the businesses supplied again.' Mayor Mills thanked Davis for informing the council about the easement he had sold to Nephi City. DIRECTOR OF FINANCES, SECRETARY/TREASURER & Director of Finance Everd Squire was not present to present the financial report for Mona City. City Secretary/Treasurer Michelle Dalton: No report RECORDERS REPORT: Mona City Recorder Lyla Spencer reminded the council and those present; the candidate Filing Period will begin Monday June 3 at 12:00 p.m. and close on Friday June 7th at 2:00 p.m. COUNCIL BUSINESS: There were no Business Licenses or Fence Permits presented.
