Cedar Fort council makes planning commission changes

By Linda Petersen
CEDAR FORT—Several personnel issues were addressed at the May 23 council meeting. The town council appointed Autumn Blackner as the new town treasurer. Bart Berry was appointed to the planning and zoning commission. Planning Commission Chair Barry Miller told the council his term would end on June 30 and that they needed to look for a replacement. Dave Rose was put in as the planning and zoning vice chair. Fire chief Steve Bowen reported that the fire department was getting 13 to 14 new fire crew members.

In June, the council made a change to the Culinary Water Connect Exchange Ordinance. It now allows an existing residence with an existing well to deed water rights from that well to the town in exchange for a town water hookup. The maximum number of hookups allowed per year would be 4 percent, the same that is allowed for new water hookups with new construction. It would be a point of diversion change and would be handled by the state.

The council also reorganized the planning commission to fix an earlier misstep when Bart Berry was put in Paul Peterson's place on the commission after the latter moved. The first alternate should have been put in Peterson's place instead of posting the position and putting Berry in, since according to the planning and zoning by-laws, the alternate takes the place of the outgoing commissioner. The council removed Berry from the Planning Commission, appointed Jason Davis to the Planning Commission from alternate to permanent status and appointed Berry as a Planning Commission first alternate. This means Berry will serve a five-year term, something he said he is happy to do.

The town has contracted with Ace Recycling and Disposal to provide garbage services since Waste Management raised its rates. Pickup day is now Tuesdays. Garbage has to be set out by 7 a.m.
