The mayor said Utah Power and Light Credit Union is donating a large Red Kilowatt statue and that the funding for installation would come from previously received Utah coal strike team monies rather than the city’s operating budget.

Councilmembers and staff also discussed a plan to move the Kokopelli statue nearer the museum and to add another sculpture related to coal mining and power generation to create a more cohesive public-art cluster. Tim and others proposed QR-enabled wayfinding signs that would allow visitors to scan and receive historical and contextual information about sculptures, murals and local mining history without needing a separate app.

Staff and council said some donated or traded artworks could offset costs; one donor has a limited-edition piece and offered a trade that “may not cover the whole cost,” staff said. Council asked staff to develop costs and a plan and to confirm pledged funding from local partners before returning with a recommended installation schedule.

Staff will return with estimated costs, confirmation of donations and a proposed installation plan.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","06-25-2025 CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP - CC Workshop 06252025","oneSentenceSummary","Price City leaders described several public-art and wayfinding ideas including a donated 9-foot 'Red Kilowatt' statue funded from prior coal-strike team money, relocating Kokopelli to tie art to the museum, and QR-enabled wayfinding signs to tell local history.","taxTitle","Price, Carbon County, Utah","taxId",68866,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":50,"_51":82,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6521648,"City staff propose new staging area, fencing and lighting to move materials from Olsen Reservoir",307,685000,992000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5086394-9e3741660ee5dc2d623071ffcde40e8f&start=685&end=992","/articles/6521648/Utah/City-staff-propose-new-staging-area-fencing-and-lighting-to-move-materials-from-Olsen-Reservoir","Price City public works staff outlined plans to reduce noise and neighborhood disruption while keeping Olsen Reservoir available for drainage and occasional material staging. The plan would shift most day-to-day material storage and staging to a larger site near Sixth South and a trail staging area while keeping occasional access to free dirt at the reservoir for replenishing materials.

Miles and public works staff said the Sixth South site is larger and better suited to store road base and fill materials than the existing small station near Lake Lane and Seventh East. Staff recommended fencing — likely more than $10,000 — and solar-powered yard lights because there is no nearby power. They also discussed electric gates for controlled overnight access by crews and contractors.

Public works staff stressed that the reservoir itself would not be abandoned because of its importance to the city’s drainage system and said the city has a long supply of dirt and millings at the reservoir. Staff said using the reservoir as an occasional source of free dirt would continue; the new staging area is intended primarily to reduce neighborhood noise and concentrate operations in a single, larger compound.

Council requested cost estimates and asked staff to check on power and gate options; no formal action or funding allocation occurred at the meeting.

Staff will return with cost estimates, power and gate options, and a plan for fencing and lighting installation before any work begins.","Public works staff described plans to move road-base and free dirt from Olsen Reservoir to a larger staging area on Sixth South, including fencing, solar lighting and electric gates; estimated fencing costs exceeded $10,000.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6521653,"Price council debates stricter enforcement, program changes after multiple Main Street falls",1229,1163000,2392000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5086394-9e3741660ee5dc2d623071ffcde40e8f&start=1163&end=2392","/articles/6521653/Utah/Price-council-debates-stricter-enforcement-program-changes-after-multiple-Main-Street-falls","At a recent Price City Council meeting, members discussed steps to address deteriorating sidewalks on Main Street after multiple people fell this year, including an 80-year-old who was hurt in March and a later incident in which Mayor Mike Grama said his wife fractured toes and an ankle. Council members pressed for firmer enforcement of city rules requiring adjacent property owners to maintain sidewalks and discussed using a formal penalty or contractor-assessment model to ensure repairs are completed.

The discussion focused on two options the council has used or considered: the existing repair program (adopted by resolution) that offers a pathway for property owners to get sidewalks replaced, and the prospect of attaching a city-enforced fee or ordinance-driven remedy when owners do not act. “I’m done being nice,” Councilmember Amy Jesperson said, urging stronger enforcement to reduce liability and public-safety risk.

Staff and council members described how the city has historically handled sidewalk work and the limits they face. A speaker identified in the meeting as Eric noted, “The program is adopted by resolution,” indicating the current program is a policy-level measure rather than an ordinance with civil penalties. Council and staff also discussed modeling penalties on other cities’ approaches: obtain a contractor estimate, give owners time to pay or contract privately, and if owners do not act, the city performs the work and bills the property owner.

Council members said long-term remediation will be time-consuming and will likely require staged work over several years. Staff estimated the scope means a multi-year program to address all problematic segments on Main Street; one participant said the process could take three or four years to complete given crew time and the number of properties. The council discussed options to accelerate work where owners sign up quickly, and to allow payment plans for property owners who cannot afford immediate replacement.

Speakers also discussed the condition’s origins: some sections of the curb and sidewalk were installed with gaps for curb-and-gutter forms and have since settled, leaving sunken strips the meeting described as a persistent hazard. Council members asked staff to compile existing measurements and cost estimates so property owners can receive clear per-foot figures and bid guidance. Staff said they already have many measurements and inspection records on file.

The council did not take a formal vote at the meeting. Instead members directed staff to prepare implementation details, including estimated costs, timelines, communication to property owners, and options for ordinance language or administrative penalties. The action plan will return to a future meeting for formal consideration.

Ending

Council members stressed the public-safety rationale for action and the need to give owners an opportunity to comply. Staff will bring cost estimates, a proposed timetable and potential ordinance or resolution language back to council for a future decision.","Council members discussed enforcing property-owner responsibility for sidewalks on Main Street, potential penalties, payment plans and a multi-year timeline to remediate hazards after several recent falls, including one that injured the mayor’s wife.","actionData","errors"]
