Committee members said initial high-level estimates included conservative line items; a contractor bid for site work and some features came in near $106,000, far below the earlier seven-figure example estimate cited in the engineering cost opinion. Committee representatives asked the council to proceed with elements that are ready to bid, including a combined concession/bathroom building, and requested a special meeting to open sealed bids. Staff scheduled a special meeting to open sealed bids for the concession-and-bathroom building during the week noted in the meeting (the board set a special meeting for Monday of the identified week at 4:00 p.m.).

Several council members and committee participants urged caution about moving bulk dirt without civil-engineered plans. The town has a civil engineering report but not finalized engineered construction plans; Sunrise Engineering provided a report and an overall engineering-design estimate (the meeting referenced a $325,000 engineering-design figure for the full project), and committee members said that number can be broken into phases so the town can obtain engineered plans for the field excavation first. Committee members reported the concession/bathroom drawings on hand are sufficient to put that building out to bid and asked staff to publish the request for bids; staff explained the public-notice schedule required publication and a 10-day bid period.

Park project discussion also covered parking constraints for occasional tournaments, potential satellite parking or shuttle options, and inspection oversight for earthwork. Council members asked that engineered designs address drainage and compaction to avoid altering drainage that affects nearby houses; multiple speakers urged that engineered plans be obtained before significant grading to limit risk to adjacent properties. No formal vote was taken to hire full-project engineering during the meeting; the council agreed to place a vote on hiring engineered plans on a future agenda and to have Sunrise or a chosen civil engineer prepare the necessary construction plans for dirt work if the board approves funding.

Ending: The board set a special meeting to open sealed bids for the concession/bathroom building and directed staff and the park committee to return with a recommended engineering scope and cost for the baseball-field excavation at the next regular meeting.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Board Meeting Agenda - 9.3.25 Town Council","oneSentenceSummary","Park committee members reported bids and savings on parts of the proposed Orderville park project but councilors insisted on engineered plans before major excavation.","taxTitle","Orderville, Kane County, Utah","taxId",80015,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":50,"_51":81,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":82,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":83,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6476957,"Orderville adopts updated municipal code after public hearing",1072,65000,1137000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5715709-d444da05a43b224f946b839346fff39a&start=65&end=1137","/articles/6476957/Orderville/Kane-County/Utah/Orderville-adopts-updated-municipal-code-after-public-hearing","The Orderville Town Board voted unanimously to adopt an updated municipal code book after a public hearing and discussion about enforcement.

The update, prepared in coordination with Sunrise Engineering, was presented at the hearing by consultant Paul Anderson. \"My name is Paul Anderson. I'm with Sunrise Engineering,\" he told the board, adding the firm had been contracted to provide the update.

Board members said having a written municipal code is an important first step that gives the town a baseline \"to work off of.\" During discussion members repeatedly raised enforcement questions: whether long-standing, potentially nonconforming uses would be grandfathered; whether businesses could be required to meet the new code as a condition of license renewal; and who would carry out enforcement if complaints arise.

Council members said enforcement is likely to be complaint-driven rather than the result of routine canvassing of private property. One member suggested beginning enforcement through business-license renewals as a practical first step, while others said civil procedures and attorney review would be needed for some enforcement actions. The board also discussed a possible part-time code-enforcement position but expressed reluctance to create an inspection unit that would proactively visit private yards.

The board formally moved to adopt the municipal code as presented. The roll-call votes recorded in the meeting were: Susan — aye; Rory — aye; Sean — aye; Mary Anne — aye; plus one additional unnamed affirmative vote. The mayor announced, \"Motion carries 5 to 0.\" The board noted the code is intended to be a living document and that any new or amended ordinances will follow the town's standard public-hearing process.

The board directed staff to publish the new code online, and Sunrise staff said the document references applicable state code so future state changes will be reflected. No new enforcement program was adopted at the meeting; board members said enforcement policy and timing (including whether to tie compliance to business license renewals) will be decided later, and the town attorney may be consulted for civil enforcement procedures.

Ending: The board closed the municipal-code hearing after public comment and adopted the code. Members emphasized the document provides a starting point and can be amended as issues arise, while enforcement logistics will be addressed in subsequent meetings.","The Orderville Town Board voted 5–0 to adopt a revised municipal code book prepared with Sunrise Engineering.

Resident Coby Chateau read a prepared letter to the board describing repeated basement flooding and asserting the town-owned roadside drainages are not being maintained. \"I am asking again to please solve the flooding problem on these roads before more damage is done to my personal property,\" Chateau said while reading his submission. He said he had previously sent a letter and that the town had not contacted him directly about follow-up other than a neighbor.

Board members reviewed the background: residents said sidewalks in the area were historically installed by property owners, irrigation ditches had been piped or filled when the road was redone in 2017–2018, and repaving raised the roadbed above some house elevations. The board discussed whether the town has legal access and suggested clearing and reconstructing a long drainage channel with culverts and shallow cross-ditches to move water from the north side to the south side of the road; residents also suggested the work could act as a traffic-calming measure.

The council asked staff to inspect the drainage and to contact Russ Stewart (public works) to drive the route and assess options. A board member committed to follow up with the complainant and keep him informed; the board discussed whether to hire an engineer to produce a drainage design if initial inspection suggests more than routine maintenance is needed. No formal vote to authorize engineering was taken during the meeting; the board agreed to develop a scope and cost estimate and to bring recommendations back to a future meeting.

Ending: The board accepted the complaint for follow-up, directed staff to inspect the 100 South drainage and to coordinate with public-works personnel about next steps, and told the complainant they would keep him updated.","A resident, Coby Chateau, renewed a complaint about recurring flooding on 100 South Street.
