\"This was our 41st International Days,\" Marshall said, and she described efforts to increase diverse entertainment and food options and to return the festival to its roots of celebrating the cultures that helped found the area. Marshall told the council the festival team deployed community and vendor surveys to measure performance.

Marshall reported the event had an estimated 8,000 people along the parade route (between 700 East and 100 West) and more than 30,000 unique visits across Washington Park, Einar Park and adjacent festival areas during the weekend. She also provided vendor and satisfaction metrics: 99 vendor spots in the park (34 food vendors; 65 merchandise vendors), an overall vendor satisfaction rate of 98 percent, and attendee survey scores with entertainment 3.87/5, food selection 4/5 and an overall rating of 4.22/5.

Marshall described partner contributions from the police, health department, sheriff's office, campus security and Carbon Medical for safety and first-aid coverage. She said the festival team is working with county tourism to refine attendance figures and credited volunteers and sponsors for operational support.

Council members commented on the parade, the reintroduction of a festival mascot and the golf tournament's fundraising role. One councilor asked Marshall to include historical fundraising totals for the golf tournament in future reports; a speaker said the tournament has donated just under $70,000 to local charities over its history and approximately $7,500 in the most recent year.

Marshall said the planning committee approved dates for International Days 2026 in August; she asked staff to publish the presentation and survey details on the city webpage.","Event coordinator Megan Marshall told Price City Council the 2025 International Days festival drew large crowds, high vendor satisfaction and strong family-activity attendance; the planning committee approved August dates for 2026.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_47":90,"_49":50,"_51":91,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":92,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":93,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6503207,"Price City Council selects preferred alternative for Upper Price River Watershed EIS",388,1454000,1842000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5595625-6d385433bbb02db31031556da4464046&start=1454&end=1842","/articles/6503207/Price/Carbon-County/Utah/Price-City-Council-selects-preferred-alternative-for-Upper-Price-River-Watershed-EIS","Price City Council voted Aug. 13 to designate the Consumer Wash/reservoir option (Alternative A) with a pressurized irrigation system and in‑stream flow measures as the city's preferred alternative for the Upper Price River Watershed environmental impact statement (EIS).

The vote followed several years of study and public discussion. Mayor Kurianis summarized the selection process: \"We went from 26 different sites ... we narrowed it down to 4 sites. And then from those 4 sites, we picked, A.\" He told the council the decision reflects community input and years of work to find a feasible location.

Councilors and county representatives discussed funding and next steps. The council previously approved up to $215,000 to complete the EIS after an earlier estimate of $900,000 was reduced during negotiations with the engineering contractor. Officials said the next design phase is expected to cost about $23,000,000 and that construction costs will follow that design step.

Speakers emphasized the project's regional importance for water conservation and future economic development. One county official described water as \"the lifeblood\" of the region and warned that downstream compact and allocation pressures make local water-storage planning urgent. Council members noted that the selected site offers more potential for recreation that could bring visitors and spending to the area.

Technical and funding details discussed in the meeting included:
- The planned reservoir capacity of about 7,500 acre‑feet and Price City's existing storage entitlement of roughly 5,000 acre‑feet.
- A plan to pipe water and create a pressurized irrigation system to reduce evaporation and distribution loss compared with open-ditch deliveries.
- An expected funding structure described in the meeting as roughly 75% under an \"agricultural umbrella\" (grant/loan programs and agricultural partners) and 25% from cities, counties and irrigation companies; federal and NRCS funding involvement was discussed but not committed.

A public commenter asked whether stored water would be agricultural rather than culinary and whether the reservoir would allow the city to retain and reassign water rights. City officials replied that the reservoir would store agricultural water and that piping and storage could free culinary water for municipal and development use.

Council Member Willis moved to adopt Alternative A as the preferred alternative; Council Member Jesperson seconded. The council took a voice vote with no recorded roll-call tally; the chair declared the motion carried.

Council members said the EIS completion will lead to project design and later funding and permitting phases. Officials repeatedly cautioned that design and construction will require substantial additional funding and intergovernmental cooperation.","Price City Council voted to adopt Alternative A (Consumer Wash/Reservoir with pressurized irrigation and in‑stream flows) as the city's preferred alternative for the Upper Price River Watershed environmental impact statement; council and county officials discussed funding, next design steps and water-storage details.","actionData","errors"]
