Busy meeting for Cedar Fort leaders

By Linda Petersen
CEDAR FORT — At its January 23 meeting, the town council made several appointments. Former mayor Howard Anderson was appointed as the cemetery sexton (a volunteer position) and as the town's representative for Community Development Block Grants (federal grants) for construction projects, including the town park restrooms and the community center.

Chris Murphy (the only applicant) was appointed to the position of planning commission alternate. Mayor David Gustin informed council members know that Commissioner Davis had tendered his resignation letter effective January 19 and that the first alternate will be filling that position.

Fire Chief Steven Bowman reported to the council that the department had received a donation of 30 sets of turnouts (bunker gear). They are working with Unified Fire to trade the town's "Can Am" (side by side truck) for a new water tender, brush truck and bunker truck.

Gustin and Councilman Harold Draper informed the council that the town will be applying for a $1.2 Million UDOT grant for schools' infrastructure for safe passageways for students within a two-mile boundary.

The council voted to streamline some of the town's ordinances.

Building construction permits will be reviewed and approved by Town Building Official Clint Carter, or his successor without the need for planning commission or town council review except in unique or extraordinary circumstances.

Councilwoman Ellen Cibula (the town council member in charge of business licenses) will review and approve business license applications solely without planning commission or town council review except in unique or extraordinary circumstances.

The council voted to approve a culinary water connection ordinance revision which simplifies the application process.

The council also approved setting up a budget of $2,500 from the town's professional services budget for this fiscal year to pay for an attorney to review and revise the town's ordinances where needed. They suggested the land use ordinances be a priority.

The council voted to sponsor a town Facebook page.
