Reports from Departments

Planning Commission

The meetings are ready to begin. The dates and times will be discussed.

Fire Department:

Waxie bid was submitted. The consensus was to buy locally for products needed for the firehouse. A burn application was also submitted for approval of the council. The form will be made available at the Town office. Chief Bagley is using it as a safety precaution, having the community be more responsible when burning, and letting the fire department be aware of when they are burning. The department responded to 2 fires. One in Antimony, the other on Mytoge (Wild land fire). 3 trucks were taken to the Mytoge fire (6 people were on the fire). Ron will submit the forms to the Forestry, for payment to the firemen that were on the fire. The trucks are in need of repair. Mayor approved Ron to purchase the items to repair the trucks. An open house is scheduled for April 25th, 12-4. EMT’s will be available to do blood pressure and oxygen checks. Mayor offered to purchase hotdogs and cookies to have at the Open House.

Cemetery

Clark is preparing the grounds for May. He will be spraying weeds around the firehouse as well. The backhoe needs repairs done. Terry Carlson will be giving an estimate for the repairs.

Roads

Potholes will need to be filled this spring. Curtis made a suggestion to get road base from the county, which would last longer. Mayor will talk to the commission to see if they can provide any road base and gravel. The Fishlake road will be ground, this summer. Mayor will check with UDOT to find possibilities to get some of the ground-up road base.

Culture/Recreation

Jeff would like to work with Harlow to train for the water testing and reports.
