OPEN SESSION – Citizen comments
Brad and Kara Pittman asked for an update on their proposal to purchase a parcel of city owned property adjacent to their home. Mayor Ellertson replied that he had met with representatives of the Forest Service to reach an agreement, but that the process is not completed. He asked if the Pittmans would be interested in a lease. Councilmember Carpenter explained that a lease would allow the City and the Pittmans to go forward while negotiations with the Forest Service are progressing. Mr. Pittman explained that his improvement plans would require a long term lease so he could realize a return on his investment. Mayor Ellertson asked Mr. Dameron to work with Mr. and Mrs. Pittman to set up an appointment between Mayor Ellertson and the Pittmans to discuss options that may fill the needs of the City and the Pittmans.
MAYOR’S COMMENTS/REPORT –
Mayor Ellertson commented that the Wasatch Front Regional Council and Mountainlands Association of Governments have announced a plan for funding of the transportation needs of the Wasatch Front. He noted that the entities are aware of the fact that funding solutions may have an impact on area residents. He observed that sales tax sources have not been included at this time, because of the pending clarification of the streamlined sales tax (SST) process. He noted that sales tax may be added in the future when the implementation of the SST program is completed.
CURRENT BUSINESS -
1. Report – Lindon Days Final Report. The chairs of the annual “Lindon Days Celebration” for 2004, Troy and Renee Tribe, will present their final report to the City Council for the activities conducted this year along with their recommendations for the future.
Troy and Renee Tribe were invited to the front to give their report. Mr. Tribe commented that it had been a good year. He explained that their focus was to promote the traditionally well attended events of the week long Lindon Days Celebration. He also noted that these events, like the parade, fair, rodeo and breakfast, have willing sub-chairs to take on the responsibilities. He observed that the reason some events were dropped this year was that no residents were willing to organize and oversee individual events. He suggested that narrowing the focus of the celebration may be appropriate. He explained that there are so many demands on the time and energies of residents, that there may be a better turnout if there are fewer events to attend and less diversifying of the talents and attention of the chairpersons. He suggested that the Lindon Days Celebration be limited to one weekend rather than a week-long roster of events. Ms. Tribe asked the Council’s opinion of this suggestion. Mayor Ellertson replied that the suggestion is worthy of discussion, but that there are some on the Council that disagree with condensing the celebration. Mr. Tribe observed that chairmanship of the celebration is a huge undertaking. The Council expressed thanks to the Tribes for their willing leadership. Mr. Tribe commented that they would present the final accounting of the celebration to Councilmember Acerson upon its completion.
2. Site Plan – Lindon Retail Center. This is a request by Matthew Idema of CLC Associates and Mr. Tim Risley of Tim A. Risley & Associates, for site plan approval of a two building commercial mall project on the Wal-Mart outlets #1 and #2 located at 700 North State Street.
