8. Action Items:

a. Historic Preservation Fund Preservation & Maintenance Agreement

Mayor Peterson, indicated the Town has been awarded $10,000 in Grant money. It is a matching grant that we will be able to use the RAP Tax money on. It will be a total of $20,000 dollars of work to complete and the Town will have to maintain the site for 5 years.

Mayor Peterson asked for a motion to approve the Historic Preservation Fund Preservation & Maintenance Agreement.

Councilmember Stirling, is all this money going to the Leeds CCC Camp?

Mayor Peterson replied $500 is going toward the Silver Reef Museum and $19,500 is going to the CCC Camp.

Councilmember Stirling, does it show anywhere on this agreement the $500.00?

Mayor Peterson, it was in the original application that was approved and submitted.

Councilmember Stirling and the Mayor discussed the application.

Councilmember Roberts, the Town owns property where the CCC Camp is. The Town does not own the Wells Fargo, but the Town has invested in the Wells Fargo building that is owned by the County. I think it is important for the public to understand who the owner of these two properties is.

Mayor Peterson discussed the project further and highlighted that in the past the museum has provided many volunteer hours that went to the Town’s required match.

c. CIB Planning Grant Application

Mayor Peterson indicated this is the second half of the request from the last meeting to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for a $35,000 transportation study grant. If the Town gets the CIB grant, that requires a match, as does the one from the MPO, and each grant could match the other. The Town did get approval from DTEC last Thursday for the $35,000. The Town would have to contribute $1,000 and that would make it so neither of these providers would be the majority provider of funds and the Town could administer both $35,000 grants. The Budget would need to be updated and a Public Hearing on the application will need to be held.

Mayor Peterson asked for a motion to approve the CIB Planning Grant Application. Councilmember Stirling I so move. 2nd by Councilmember Roberts. Motion passed in a Roll Call Vote.

b. Nuisance Ordinance

Craig Hall discussed chickens and indicated what the Town has now, is not working, and is working on something to present to the Town on the topic.

10. Citizen Comments:

Angela Rohr, I am just curious, are we not having Town Fireworks?

Mayor Peterson, replied we are able to have a Town Fireworks and continued to discuss it with Angela.

Angela Rohr, another issue is about the Curb and Gutter. I still feel like Ensign has not done a good enough job to delineate the water. She continued to discuss it with Councilmember Sheltman.

Angela Rohr, indicated she still would like more leniency when it comes to chickens and good job with the streets.

Darryl Lewis, asked council when the new draft of the Ordinance is complete, to be made public and wondered if the name of the Ordinance changes, would it to start with the Planning Commission.

Darryl Lewis recommended if people want chickens, have their adjoining property owners consent to have them.

Darryl Lewis, with the streets they didn’t do such a good job in front of my house. There is a 10 x 15 patch where the slurry is nonexistent and very thin and they did not blend the two layers very good.
