2- OPEN SESSION-
Rick and Marci Brunson approached the City Council to discuss their concerns with speeders along 250 East Street. The Brunson’s stated that they typically see people who have been directed by Google Maps to take that route through the City when they have missed the turnoff on the South end of Aurora. The Brunson’s requested more police patrolling, a flashing sign, speed bump or radar trailer in the area to warn speeders that are going faster than 25 MPH. The Council sympathized with their concerns and stated that they would discuss it with the police department to see what ideas they could come up with. The installation of a speed bump would not be an option but perhaps some kind of signage would work well.
3- DANA COATES- CONCERNS WITH BASEMENT HOUSE ALONG 392 N. AURORA BLVD.
Aurora City resident Dana Coates came before the Council to request some kind of declaration to create a hazard at the home. Ms. Coates expressed her concerns about children who play in the area and wanting to prevent any harm to those children. Council Member Andy Rasmussen stated that he would visit with Trevor at Sevier County and see what he can do to help get the owners of the property to make it more safe.
4- CIB ROAD PROJECT UPDATE-
Mr. Johnson informed the Council that he had received a retainage request from Hales for Aurora City to pay their final payment.
