Millville
council unanimously approves everything on agenda
By Jake

October 6, 2008 | MILLVILLE -- The City Council met
in a rather uncontroversial meeting as all the action
items on the agenda were approved unanimously.
Matt Anderson was approved for a business license
for Anderson's Customs and Fabrications at 211 S. 300
East. The company is selling paintless dent prepare
tools now.
The council decided to accept the resolution Majestic
Heights subdivision contingent upon the street lights
being put up and working as well as the street signs
and monuments being put up. It was later reported in
the meeting that all those contingencies were done.
The cooperation agreement between UDOT and municipalities
regarding the traffic flow along SR-165 was agreed upon.
Mayor Mike Johnson said, this "gives guidance to what
we want." The council members agreed that this will
limit or restrict access along the corridor.
The next item was to transfer accounting and budgets
responsibilities for the Millville-Nibley first responders
to Nibley city. This was just to readjust the accounting
because of the size difference between Millville and
Nibley.
The one agenda item that did not get resolved was
the consideration for a resolution requiring a deposit
for building within Millville City. They are looking
to make this a refundable deposit upon completion of
the landscaping of your residency and the inspection
of no damage to the city streets or gutters. They talked
about whether that would include all building request
or maybe a lower cost for everything under 120 ft. right
now the idea thrown out there is $2000 for building
of a residential structure and $500 for other types
of add on kind of projects that would require a building
clearance. The council decided to think about it and
decide at the next meeting.
The council came to an agreement to have West Host
to create and design the city website. Councilman Jared
Taylor spent a couple months researching this out and
it came down to two finalists. The council felt they
would get more for their money through West Host.
In the discussion portion of the meeting they discussed
their frustration with the grass in the city park; they
feel like they are not getting what they paid for and
ideas to try and fix the situation.
Planner Harry Meadows brought forth the idea to amend
the free standing sign amendment for Millville. The
idea that he had would allow members of both the city
council and planning and zoning committee to look and
decide whether a sign would be appropriate or not based
on size and location.
Millville is also looking at ideas to get the citizens
involved and their opinions on city agendas so they
are looking to add a survey section to the online website.
The office hours have changed starting Nov. 1 on Tuesdays
and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon. The next city council
meeting has been cancelled due to UEA weekend.
