PUBLIC HEARING - 2019-2020 APPROVED BUDGET
PUBLIC HEARING - CIB APPLICATION FOR THE PANGUITCH CITY MASTER PLAN
PUBLIC HEARING - WASTE MANAGEMENT AND WASTE MANAGEMENT FEES
Trudi Owens moved, seconded by Mike Sarles to enter a public hearing for the 2019-2020 budget, CIB application, and waste management. The motion passed with all in favor.
The 2019-2020 budget has increases of $15,000 in sewer and $110,000 in the general fund with increased revenue to offset these costs. The total of $1,997,500 is similar to the previous year.
Darren Robinson from Jones and DeMille Engineering discussed a master plan for culinary water, secondary water, roads, flood mitigation, and sewer which would cost $120,000. Panguitch City would match 50% of CIB. CIB may offer instead a low interest bearing loan which would require repayment. The City qualifies for a preplanning grant of $30,000 from Rural Development which would provide a preliminary planning report (PRP) and environmental report (ER). Both are needed to submit the master plan funding application.
The Council presented two waste management options: Option #2 would keep waste disposal the same at a $6 additional cost per resident; Option #3 would have mandatory curbside pick-up, access to landfill roll offs, and two to three landfill dumpsters for household waste at approximately $10 cost per resident. Members of the audience commented on the options.
Lloyd Brinkerhoff moved, seconded by Mike Sarles to exit the public hearing. The motion passed with all in favor.
