Public Works Report
Water Report
Engineering Report
Mayor Pro Tem McDonald stated Kevin Rudd and Dave Glenn were excused and indicated that their reports were previously provided in writing. Copies of the reports are available by request through Ivins City Hall. Chuck Gillette reported that the Center Street widening project started on June 5, 2014. There was a problem with the storm drain where the contractor had to go under the high pressure gas, which was a lot deeper than originally thought. That has caused a delay but they still expect to have that project done before school starts in August. He stated that staff is ordering the bollards which will be shipped on or about June 24, 2014 and if the Council awards the installation bid tonight he expects installation to start by early July. He reported that the 400 West Waterline Upsizing and Road Reconstruction project is complete. The contractor did a good job on that project. The slurry seal pavement maintenance was completed on June 11, 2014 and Staff is pleased with the results of using a heavier application and achieve a smoother surface. Council Member Roberts inquired about the NRCS mitigation on Main Street. Chuck Gillette clarified that when the major floods occurred in 2012, spillway was damaged and NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) offered some funds to come up with a better solution. The NRCS has recommended that the work not start until October, 2014 due to desert tortoise concerns.
Mayor Pro Tem McDonald introduced Wally Ritchie, Ivins new Director of Finance Wally Ritchie. Mr. Ritchie was appointed to the position at the previous City Council meeting. Wally Ritchie indicated he will start on Monday, June 30, 2014 and is looking forward to working for Ivins City.
Chairman Loris reported that he worked with Wally Ritchie at Rosenberg and Associates and stated he is an excellent employee. He reported that a presentation was made to the Planning Commission by John Reed regarding a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The Planning Commission also held two (2) Public Hearings regarding a Zone Change from RA-1 (Residential Agriculture District - minimum lot size 1 acre) to R-1-10 (Single Family Residential - minimum lot size 10,000 sq. ft.) and a Preliminary Plan for Posovi Subdivision Phase 3. The Planning Commission made recommendations for approval and forwarded the items to the City Council for Public Hearings.
Conservation Easement Deed
Staff Report #1
Staff Report #2
Dale Coulam stated this agenda item was tabled last City Council meeting for clarification. Chuck Gillette clarified that he filled in the blank dollar amount with ten dollars ($10.00) and indicated the agreement was part of Ivins building the Tuacahn Detention Dam that was built in 2013. Council Member Densley inquired if it was known that the City had to fence the area and if the cost is in the budget. Chuck Gillette indicated the cost is in the budget and the City originally worked with the County to share the cost of fencing but when the County was ready to fence, Ivins wasn't. The County proceeded to fence the area and now Ivins is required to move the fence and place it where it's supposed to be.
